Since the infamous Night of the Refresh Monkeys™ we have servers capable of handling the load of F5s from impatient, but otherwise well meaning, customers.

Night of the Refresh Monkeys™ Sequence Enabled. - Aye!
F5... F5...F5...F5...F5
The hell with it ALT F4...out

I does help to know why you're splitting and what you're going to do next before you actually split. No sense in splitting a squad then staring at them with your chin in your hand as they recombine. I usually select the recon team or AT team I wanted and immediately get them walking away from the crowd. As they're walking to the waypoint I can ponder the battlefield with my chin in my hand.
I did know where they were going - out on point.
Seriously, it was no more than 30 seconds when the re-group occured. I split and had the scout team selected and only the scout team selected (no clicking around or anything). I was trying to find the right building I wanted them to go to, in a very built up urban setting and - whamo REGROUP - before I could click a way point.
I never had this rapid re-group happen in CMBN and I've played very few CMFIs battles(<5 games). Not a real bug just a little flustrating having to split 3 times before I got it to work.
I guess I'm asking for something like a spilt order stays spilt until the red button is hit. Then a regroup can occur of squad teams that are in close proximity.

I play these games because I don't have the reflexes of a caffeinated teenager and do very bad at FPS and RTS games.
Opening minute of the battle I hit <space bar> select Admin -> Scout Team. I very slowly 30 seconds or so position my cursor where I want the scouts to go and the squad leader issues a "Unspilt" command. Now I have 10 guys selected.
Way too fast on the "regroup" command. What are the time and distance parameters for this??

Did you make sure that you installed v2.0 over v1.11? Because every problem you have reported here, is related to installing it over v1.10 or earlier.
Yup, I installed 2.0 over 1.11 and have the PBEM QB 5% error. So that's not it.
I just needed to convince my wargame buddy to switch to scenarios from QBs until the patch is released. No hard feelings. No flusteration. Just deal with it and move along.

Why move backwards in time with the eastern front game? Wouldn't it make more sense to start with operation barbarossa and move forward from there? Not really complaining, I'd just like to know the reasoning behind such a decision.
Because all the 44 German weapons and TO&Es are already in the system. They just need to build the Russians and the local landscape. Then with Kursk most of the German weapons from CMFI (43) could be used.
Just add the few units, equipments only available in the previous year.
I'm not a programmer but I work on the edges of a programming environment. I'm guessing there is or will be only one massive database for all the units/terrains/behaviors. BFC selects a few parameters and outputs a specific game for a specific region and time frame. But this database is still being added to, which causes the gap between deliveries. At some point it seems deliveries should pick up steam.

And plenty more in the repository.
-
Is this what you're talking about?
-
Somethink nice...Im thinking any of the following:
1. NATO/Warsaw Pact - 1980
2. North Africa
c. WW2 The Blitzkrieg Wars
4. CM- The Operational Level
-
Yeah BFC, drop us a bone for what the next release will be?
We already know the release date....when its ready.
-
Javae 7 and down have a security risk. It's recommended you block/disable it.
Google it.
Edit - update released within the hour.

....... This isn't good for anybody and so we intend on keeping up this system of dual support. Within reason.
Steve
Interesting choice of words "dual support". So are you saying when 3.0 comes out you will continue to support 2.0 and 3.0, letting 1.0 fall by the way side.
It really doesn't bother to me because I bought 2.0 the day it was released. But I'm just wondering???

You, USA citizens, are just funny in this regard, all obsessed with guns 'n stuff.
And damn proud of it.

I guess you missed the thread at how old most of us are.
I just had to get my reading glasses prescription changed to make em stronger. I actually don't know any game companies that give returns. Could be some, but generally I try to make sure I think I am going to enjoy a game before buying including trying the free demos first.+1 on what Brindlewolf said
+1 to the age thread. Even some of us old farts can figure it out.

This article is so old. How old is it? They call the turns "hybird RTS - Turn based". I guess the term WEGO hadn't been coined yet.
The end of the article promises Combat Mission 4 - The Blitzkrieg Battles. Vaporware.

Jump right in to a human opponent. That is when the game is at it's best.
-
I think 2.01 with the QB PBEM 5% problem is a priority.
-
PBEM-WEGO pretty much strictly against my original Panzer Blitz friend from high school in the 70s.
-
Thanks for your thoughts,i tend to agree with most . One small thought tho, just to play devils advocate . One minute is a long time in the heat of battle! 30 second moves would be nice when it gets hectic! what do you think ... ??
30 seconds would be OK playing against the computer. But PBEM would be unacceptable at 30 sec.

Why would I? You can't sing, you ain't pretty, and your legs are thin.

Oh Well

One time I had 3 mortars with 32 shells each. I positioned them all real close with a single 4th platoon leader nearby for radio contact. Their ammo count all went to 96, it appeared like they were sharing. I assumed this was normal.
-
I thought it was Carter's administration that introduced that.
:confused:
Michael
Michael you are definitely WRONG on that one.
I googled it just to make sure I spelled Milhous correctly (no E). 1973 was the year - Just about the time I got Panzer Blitz for Christmas.
One question: Will you be adding this one to your sig-line?
-
There has to be factors other than ground pressure taken in to account by BFC. In running the test there is no way to determine which variable actually caused the breakdown. The King Tigers were notorious for breakdowns. And the Sherm was reliable.
But any way 1.5 to 2 kilometers between breakdowns just seems like they occur way too frequently.
-
Under Richard Milhous Nixon the speed limit was 55. Which happens to be my current age.
-
Hell, I go back even further than that: I remember "The Pusher" (great song). That was when the band called itself The Sparrow.
Michael
My parents sure wanted parental controls on that LP.
Putting the earbuds now

What we will see the next?
