    Germans carrying rifles...

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    well adjusting is a complete different story...it was of course allowed to use the right hand for proper adjusting...so if BFC will proclaim, that animation number 1,000,549 (nuts-scratchy) will be only an adjustment I perhaps will buy the game...at last I want a historical authentic WW2 simulation...

    so waiting for the word from BFC before preordering ;)

    You are quite correct, in general terms. However, I have on my bookshelves a copy of Kesslering's memoirs and in the background of a photo one can see a member of the 71st Infantry Division scratching his nuts with his right hand. Now, the 71st was transferred to France in September 1944, so, clearly, any scenario or QB involving units from that formation will need their own animations. Otherwise the game will be broken.

    [...]

    Ahhh the guys from the 71st Infantry Division...the so called "right-scratcher"...nobody in the wehrmacht liked those guys..weirdos...tze...scratching with the right hand...

    Rifle Grenades: Who used them and when?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Hmmm sounds more like fiction to me, but I don't know...I know this particular scene well (one of the american soldiers gets wounded cause he runs into the building too early and gets hit by the mentioned frag)...

    all I know is, that the special ammunition you use to fire the grenade had such a kick (recoil) that most soldiers would put the rifle butt against the ground instead of pushing it against the shoulder...

    and I don't think if the rifle grenade wouldn't went of if it hits the glas of the window..

    Hi!

    Can't wait either! hope it will be as good as I expect it to be.

    Couldn't get warm with CMSF either...don't really know why...the setting...the realtime system when you play TCP/IP...I played hundreds of QB against my brother in CMBO and CMBB...will do a lot of PBEM games with him, when CMBN will be released ;)

    How did you find out about Combat Mission?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I saw a small article in a german computer game magazine. Was curious about the mechanics of the WeGo system and gave the demo a try...I can't remember what year it was, but surely a loooong time ago...

    I instantly loved it! And I played COUNTLESS hours of QBs against my brother! I bought CMBB and CMAK as well. And sadly I bought CMSF too. Couldn't get warm with CMSF...

    My brother and I are REALLY looking forward to play CMBN!

    No Sound!

    in Theatre of War 2

    Posted

    Problemo solved!

    Please do not ask me why, but the directx, that was installed with ToW 2, installed 2 weird new sound devices (Screaming Bee Audio and Sound2x Audio Cable). As I ran DxDiag I had 11 (!) sound sources! So I kicked those 2 new devices and what can I say? BOOOM! Ratatatatata! *smiles* (Yeah..I now can hear the sounds)

    @ utexgrad

    as I already wrote: yes I could hear the intro sounds

    No Sound!

    in Theatre of War 2

    Posted

    Hello!

    I've just bought ToW 2 and sadly I have no sound effects! no music, no firing sounds, no nothing! I can hear the sound of the intro (when the battlefront logo appears) and I hear the "clicks" when I well click on a button (like settings or battles of whatever), but as soon as the game starts all is quiet :(

    Never encountered sound problems with games at all. I even can't adjust the volume bar for the music (for all other sounds I can, however without any difference for not hearing anything).

    Anybody here has the same problem or any idea how to solve this?

    btw sorry for my english..isn't my mother tongue...

    thanks in advance
