Childress

Your written English is formidable. I was speaking of the graphic. BTW, Ex-wife is from Bobigny.

Thanks for the scenario. But one notices the absence of a setup zone. Also you made all of the Allied units Crack. Isn't this classification, in '43, a bit premature?

So what's the verdict, gentlemen? Wait for the patch or 'keep moving, nothing (much) to see here'?

The text is almost unreadable but, of curiosity, is that 'cloue' meaning 'pinned' in French? As in 'cloue au lit'?

Nothing. Just a couple of my CM desiderata. Nagging's part of the fun, right?

This issue which, it seems, connects with the deploy bug and the identification of spotted enemy units including squad and team affiliation need some loving attention from Battlefront.

Even jpegs? Just refrain from googling 'freedom' and you should be okay.

Damn, that was fast! And me in the mood for a good whinge....

Another thing... mortars need to be deployed if used for indirect fire. But I'm noticing they can fire direct HE if undeployed as rapidly as a deployed team. This is right?

I believe the Instant Deploy Bug crept in recently. Does anyone still have the CMBN 1.0 or 1.01 exe? If BFC can model the trajectory of every shell and several varieties of artillery patterns they can certainly implement plausible deployment delays.

To the best of my recollection this bug appeared with the 1.10 patch for CMBN. The upside is that it really gives a boost to the defending side in PBEMs.

...and an infantry gun takes 18 seconds to deploy and fire. Not the 2.2 minutes indicated. Pack Up times were normal.

My mortars, when endowed with a Deploy order and a Target, tend to begin firing within 12 seconds of arriving at their destination. Actually make that 'always'.

Bets grid yet. Thanks, Bil(l). Please feel free to make a CMBN 2.0 version.

Hate to play the wet blanket card, but wasn't snow present during some of the battles?

Do you? Do you really? Remember Steve's analogy of Homer Simpson's dream car. When you get everything you want, you may not want 'it' anymore.

Were the units in a Barn? These buildings are completely porous by design. But the feature is not mentioned in the Manual.

Especially in Italy with its vertical, spiny terrain. One of the recurring themes in Atkinson's book on the theatre is that success or failure often depended on the outcome of dueling Forward Observers. In Normandy you have more restricted FOVs, presenting geometric puzzles to solve. The Russian campaign offers, generally, flatter ground so there should be less of a feeling of attacking exposed on a well lit operating table. Or, artillery may deserve a tweak in the direction a bit less lethality or a bit less precision, or both. Or maybe BF nailed it.

You'd be missing the sand dunes. And perhaps the palm trees. If indeed they were present during those battles.

My principal suspects are those impenetrable Italian language map sites: 'Salerno è all'incirca ci pensiamo'.

Try none. What happened to the deluge of scenarios & campaigns facilitated by the new map overlay and auto-terrain building features?

The mystery deepens...

Is this cockney slang? Or a vegetable?

I simply said something that a Battlefront technician, constrained by diplomacy, cannot.

Do yourself a favor and delete Norton. You'll preserve yourself from a life of pain and free up a lot space on the HD. Get one of the free AVs, like Avast.
