I have tried using different names and then saving it but its still not showing in the battles menu, the only missions there are the default ones. I have no idea what im doing wrong, i have gone through every step in the battle generator and then saved and exit. If i go into the mission editor i am able to call up the missions i generated they are in the single missions folder. Oh well i guess i will try again after work tomorrow.

I have been dying to get my hands on this tool but im not sure what im doing wrong. I have made my mission and defined armies but i am stuck on the directory to save it to, at first i just used the default which was already in the field but when i loaded up the game the mission wasnt there. What path do i need to enter to make the missions visible. Thanks

Madmatt - After about another 20 mins it decided to work, the patch was an exe. I guess after tossing it around the memory for 20 mins it finally decided to activate the setup.

I have downloaded the torrent but once again i am having problems running the patch setup on vista 32. I right click on patch and then run as administrator but then it just hangs and all i hear is hard drive activity but no setup. Ooooo i do hate vista !!

So im still upto date then using TOW 1.4 ? I have even tried using one core but still the TOW icon wont let me create a profile.

WoW after leaving the setup going for 20 mins it worked but now i have another problem. When i start TOW using the TOW icon in the directory i get the menu screen asking to create profile but when i enter name nothing happens and if i do it 3 or 4 times it goes back to desktop yet if i select TOW 1.4 in directory it lets me create a profile. Whats the difference between TOW and TOW 1.4 im confused ?

Last year i gave my pc away to make way for a new quad core machine running vista 32bit and my battlefront version of TOW has been on a memory stick. After reading with great excitment for months that a patch will add a RBG and much more i decided to put the memory stick in and transfer TOW to my vista machine but after double clicking TOW setup the whole thing just hangs and i have to use alt ctrl del to get out of it. I cant believe that this wont work and with the patch iminent i am truly gutted, i have looked at the forums and read vista issues and wish i had never bought this stupid OS i have had nothing but problems with it. Looks like bye bye TOW as i refuse to pay for windows xp, Hello Linux

This is great news, TOW is deffinatly on the up and i see a bright future Thanks Madmatt

Please Include the battle generator, this is top of my wanted list and the one im most looking forward to. The wait for the upcoming patch has become long and tiring and i check the site twice a week for any news on this patch. The thought of having to wait for the add on to be able to have the random battle generator seems 5 years away so please include in the patch which would be like having a late christmas present thanks

If there is no random battle generator in the add on/patch im afraid an extra campaign and the mp being tweaked wont bring me back to the game.

I think TOW is a great game and with the multiplayer side of it being improved im sure it will keep people playing it for that reason. But what about the single player side of it, do you think a couple of dozen missions will keep people playing it and coming back for more ? i dont think so myself and im sure there are more who think the same. I was really hoping a RBG would be included in TOW, major dissapointment which has let the game down. This could of been one of the best but simply tweaking the multiplayer side of it wont do it for me, what this game needs is a battle generator to keep bringing people back for more not knowing what your gonna be facing in your next mission. As i have said before improve the single player mode and make it more playable, playability goes along way and two dozen or so missions is just awful especially when you have completed them.

And please add a random battle generator, its no fun playing missions you have completed over and over again. Thanks

I hope the add on for ToW isnt to long away. Im also keeping my eye on War Leaders which is in development. From what i have read and seen on the screenshots it looks amazing. http://uk.media.pc.ign.com/media/743/743604/img_2809399.html

Shiftz i agree i got steel beats pro about 6 months ago and it roxs although pricey its worth it, Only problem i had is that esim only accept credit cards but luckily enough i managed to pick it up on ebay and you dont see many of these floating around for sale so i consider myself very lucky. I have lost all confidence in TOW which looked a game with great potential unfortunatly the replayability side of the game has been left out and not included so it leaves you with a handful of missions. Im not sure if this will be addressed in a patch/expansion i know there is talk of the multiplayer being looked at but my guess is that the single player will be left as it is which basicly means game DEAD in my opinion. A random battle generator not being present in TOW made me decide that i will not be buying combat mission shock force as i was extremly dissapointed in TOW. Next two games i will buy, Football manager 2008, War Leaders looks good from what ive seen.

Well for me if this game doesnt improve its single player mode then i wont be playing it no more but going back to combat mission and steel panthers where i know you cant compare graphics but the gameplay and playability is 10 times that of tow. Sorry lads but i see this game going in the wrong direction like many others Have Fun

Forget about the multiplayer, what about the single player game and what i mean is no randon battle generator and only a couple of dozen missions through the campaigns. The single player needs a serious overhaul, give us the options combat mission has to make it more playable and give us more units. To me this is more important than the multiplayer side of it especially at this stage, this can be looked at later. You winge about the multiplayer when even the single player side of it isnt up to the same standards combat mission was. It amazes me that these kind of games today just like many others only have a select amount of missions and a complex editor what ever happened to the random battle generator and skirmish modes these kinda games used to have, it seems they are now a thing of the past which is really sad as they make the game more enjoyable to play and to watch and also prelong the games playability. I just hope this will be taken into account if an expansion is made otherwise this game may well be uninstalled off my hard drive as there is nothing else that can be done with it.

What game is that Whaco

From my previous posts you know you have my vote !! Please bring this game back to life.

Ok i have played every single mission and campaign and i have to say it just like i did when i played the missions in Blitzkrieg, i am bored, nothing more to do and nothing more to see. Game over, so wont play anymore unless improvements are made like a random battle gen or a skirmish mode which i think is more important. I have read other posts regarding little things like los and historical accuracy but to me content is more important and im affraid this game falls very short of that. Bring us more content, i.e.. Random battle generator, more units, not just a couple of dozen missions that become boring once you have completed them. If this game had the gameplay and content of Combat mission with the game engine of TOW this game would rule. I fear this game will die of death if new things are not implemented either through an add on/patch or an expansion, keeps fingers crossed.

Add a few more tanks on each side and a random battle generator and this would be the best game of its kind, pity these kind of games fall somewhat short of what you might expect. Too bad the king tigers suffered with there speed, didnt most of them get bogged down or broke down before they even reached the front.

The M36 Jackson had the armour of a tree house and in my opinion no match for any german heavy tank. Even if the Pershing entered later in the war it should of been included it was included in combat mission and in steel panthers, what a great game that was... if only. Oh and wasnt the king tiger a late arrival in ww2 but i notice that is included.

I was looking forward to getting this game and once it was downloaded i fired it up and the first thing i noticed was no random battle generator only a few missions and a campaign for each side which dissapointed me as i think this is a must for a games lifespan. I know there is an editor but i havent figured it out yet and doubt i will. Blitzkrieg had no RBG which let that down and i was bored after a week. Another thing i noticed with the heavy tanks was that germany, russia, Britain had there heavy tanks but where the hell is the american pershing, this was the only american tank that could take on the german tigers in a equal battle. Another dissapointing find but other than that not a bad game although i fear another Blitzkrieg lifespan if things stay the same.
