modern day Russian units!

will the NATO module include Soviet units?

i hope though, that what they "want to produce" is in part based on what us customers want to play... i happen to love both CMx1 and CMx2 i favor the quick battle unit purchasing option of CMx1 over the CMx2 quick battle system, and there are other pro's and cons, but i understand well enough that they are different games.

of course even armored choppers could be downed with rpg's... multiple shooters using air burst tactics could destroy tail and main rotors, but im sure it was rare... another thing i wondered about, but doubt will be incorporated, is red troops salvaging abandoned soviet weapons and vehicles, in combat.

will there be any chances of Russian air support via Hind helicopters, and others, being shot down by red Rpg's? such as happend during the invasion?

thankyou for the info guys! i think the NATO pack will expand the possibility of some great scenario's...

what can you tell me about CMSF NATO? i have not heard of that one yet...

i was just wondering, i think a good balance to the current blue forces in CMSF would be Chinese forces... is there any plans for a china module in the future?

i found this is an excellent place for a simple file exchange. it mails your opponent for you, does not require you or opponent to have an account, you dont have to download anything. http://www.fileconvoy.com/

i assume this has been covered before, but i couldn't find info... the game file for my PBEM game is 15.6 MB compressed.... and my e-mail program doesn't seem to like to send over 15 MB.... so how can i get this file to my opponent intact? i use windows live mail, have a FIOS connection, and operate on Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. help please!

i was wondering something about when a squad take casualties and the medic status comes into effect. do soldiers ever get patched up enough to return to the fight? does letting the soldiers tend to the wounded effect a final score? or should i just leave em, and get my guys back in the fight?

right on, thankyou, i'll try it

in the libraries section is a folder called "my documents" within is nothing called appdata, virtualstore, or any of the other named folders... and i looked through everything in it... however i did find that if i do a search for .ema files i can find the file and drag it to desktop... is there a way to simplify this?

how do I access this area? I go to lootens, documents, but all there is in documents is a "My Stationary" folder with a bunch or JPEGs in it, and a microsoft folder with nothing in it... odd...

i just recently upgraded my computer to windows 7, and it was easy enough to do, but now when i try to send outgoing files to my opponents they are nowhere to be found! i am unsure where the program now chooses to save them... does anyone have any insight? i used a search from the start button to no avail as well... specs are: CMSF all modules, V1.21 patch. windows 7 ultimate 64bit graphics Nvidia GEforce 7600 GS, windows live mail is used...

but apparently no matter how much gear infantry carry they tire at the same rate, which seems odd..... i did a quick test where i took two us infantry squads one laded to the hilt with missiles, ammo, launchers, etc.... and the other with a normal load. and ran them back and forth, they ran at the same rate and tired at the same rate...

besides the obvious:not being able to run. what are the effects of fatigue on infantry? firing accuracy, reaction time, etc...

ok i will try these tings...

me (toxiczen) and mike (nego7) from the cm club "we band of brothers" tried in vain to play a tcp game with shock force. i tried ip address game gave me, than found a different one online when i checked to find my actual ip address so we than tried that. but both times resulted in it just hanging on "connecting. we than tried the reverse with him setting up and got the same results... i was prompted when i first started to block or unblock the game from connecting to the net and i unblocked it. i use windows xp, and have the basic module with marines module version 1.11 has anyone else run into this? any advice on how to get a game going?

i was using the scenario editor yesterday, than played a little on a battle as well. this was on my laptop. Only later did i realize the marines disc was in my desktop computer! so is it safe to assume you don't need the disc for playing at all?

if i have shock mission with the marines module can i play a pbem game with someone who has shock mission alone, with no marines module?

got it, thankyou!

thankyou! but unfortunately i dont see it there at all... i click repository, than shock force, than BASE GAME, than Scenarios & Campaigns, and slowly look through it.... and no "IN_SEARCH_OF_A_GHOST"

i was wondering why unconventional units don't have mortars? isn't that a somewhat common weapon for unconventional forces? i don't mean calling support for large scale mortar salvos, just a guy or two with a mortar, they use them all the time to shoot allied bases.

where do i find "To Find a Ghost" assuming it is for the original CMSF, and an other campaigns for cmsf as well? all i found in the repository is scenarios... "files that end in "btt" instead of "cam"
