So far I'm using: Veins Sky mod Veins effects mod (only the explosions and smoke part) Scipio's flames Mords US voices edited to remove the references to 'Hadjis' My own tracer mod I just made today. All work fine, just make a 'z' folder under your 'data' folder and drop the mods in there.

German link says I'm slowly downloading 571mb is that right? The demo page says it should be 598.

That was painful to watch.

Sergei your name is being added to 'the list' just ahead of Finalcut for his hilarious thread.

Or get someone with a chest infection to spit in it..

Yeah 5 o'clock in the afternoon now on the East coast of the US so BFC have called it a day, shame as they were just about to push the big green button to.

Go to the folder where CMA is installed, in the 'data' folder create another called 'z'. So you have something like C:\filepath\CMA\data\z put the mod brz files in there and start the game.

Is it just me or is the flashing red button alot more prominent than in CMSF and CMA, hopefully it wont be too noticable or distracting while playing.

It's already started.. http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_US-ME.aspx

From what I've seen the essential mods will be for the effects that haven't appeared to change since CMSF's release, therefore flames, explosions and the CMBO infantry voices. I'd love to see a US voice mod that contained phrases such as "hey buddy ya wanna see a photo of my sweatheart back home" in a innocent green voice destined to meet an MG-42, and "hey Mack ya gotta light" from a hardened veteran.

......my interface with the world is neutral bordering on a dictatorship fetish.... I think I'm in the wrong self help forum.

Acronis True Image would do it because I know it's saved me in the past, but I think now the new licence takes a snapshot of your hardware. I don't think copying and pasting folders will do what you want.

Or when the frenzied mob armed with pitchforks and flaming torches storm the BFC compound and take what's rightly theirs. ..or Thursday.

I think that method would work as long as there were no major hardware changes, don't know if a new drive would work with an image from a different type/size/brand of disk.

My fathers Scottish so it's an inherited trait to take the piss at any opportunity.

As we're not going to see a CMAK 2, I'd like to see someone having a go at doing some Italian campaign scenarios if the editor can be fudged enough to make them believable.

And the playing of the bagpipes should act like a TRP bonus for the german player to flatten the area where the sound is coming from.

I've thought about this as well, most of the players here seem to have a background in model building and board and table top gaming. Hopefully 10 years of internet expansion should allow for greater exposure of the Combat Mission series and will bring in new blood.

So all going well demo mid week, full game about a week later?

I preferred the 'dirt barnacles' look rather than the ones with the ring of sandbags around the top. The sandbags make them look too neat and well prepared when most of photos from the battle I've seen depict a hurridley dug dirt hole.

I guess a few of us were encouraged by Moon's comments last week that 'you'll know the download size yourselves, next week'. Alas it seems like someones popped the balloon in front of the small childs face as they went to grab it.

Make sure the milk is warm as this will weaken the outer chocolate layer therefore eroding the structural integrity of the biscuit core, allowing one to experience the full meaning of the metaphor.

I found that the later releases of the official CMSF campaigns/battles in the British and NATO modules were more designed and catered to RT players, the ability to instanly change a units behaviour was critical in alot of missions due to strict casualty limits. Maybe this advantage of playing RT and having alot more control was more beneficial in the modern setting but it left me having to save and reload alot more than I'd like as a WEGO player. Hopefully the difference in play styles dosen't have such a noticeable influence in the WW2 setting.

I was in the pub tonight and a bloke sold me a geniune copy of CMBN on DVD. I'm now watching Rick Astley perform through gritted teeth.

No but I remember someone getting CMSF earlier than everyone else, when someone suggested they were not entirely of a truthful nature, the guy posted a screenshot of a large group of Strykers arranged to spell the the letters .F.U.!
