So I ordered a forward observer into a building, 2nd floor... had them FACE towards the possible enemy location, there staring at a wall, no windows... how can I tell if they are actually able to see something or not... thx

thx... i was more looking for a place where it tells me what terrain there on/in... but thx for the info.

I can't tell if this AT unit is hidden or not, how do you tell how well a unit is hidden, or if there at the edge of hidden, or what? Thx...

Just wondering, since i don't see it... with the original X1 Combat Mission games when you placed a unit it would tell you what terrain that unit was on, even if it looked out in the open, if it said, woods, it was in the woods... how do you tell what terrain your unit is on in the newer CM games, IE: CMBN x2? I've never used bunkers and foxholes and fences before in my own set up, how do you rotate them in the setup phase? How do you use pre-planned artillery strikes? Not where they fire automatically, but marks where you think the enemy will come, faster call in with the observer? thx

Just wondering... can you shut down the engines of tanks while keeping them battle ready, IE: an ambush... had a game where the sounds of the tanks gave away there positions just before a excellent ambush. thx

actually, loading 10 missions resulted in not one AT gun being used... so it's rare and i'm sure someone knows the mission. but thx.

I can't remember if it was CMBN or CMFI, but looking for a mission I played that had American's attacking a dug in defensive position, protected with a number of AT guns, can't find it anymore... any ideas? Any mission suggestions described above? thx

you should see 3 missions green in game, click to play and it will ask you if you want to buy the pack.

Much appreciated Battlefront, was getting bored, but the new update and the 3 new missions are very nice, and well done... here's some screens from 2 of the missions, first mission I lost, 2nd i won... but great battle. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3624418/Combat_Mission_Touch_mission_s.html#Post3624418 Thx Lets not stop there... a quick mission/random mission editor would be very very nice.

patched this AM...so will re-evaluate now.

during replay, select a unit, hit the lock key and it will zoom down and follow it... hit it again to unlock, and it will zoom out.

ya, after continued play... i see the negatives in CM now, still a great game, and one of my favorites... but your right, shouldn't be compared to BA.. BA contains so much more, but still...to me... not as fun as CM. IMO

Funny thing for me... I've had a iPad1 and been fine with it... just out of the blue picked up an iPad 3 Saturday, lol... must of been a sign from the gaming gods. Because I would of been pissed if I couldn't get it.

actually I was thinking about it... but wondering how our core audience who hates anything but true simulations would take it, lol... it's that good... but has small issues/problems/annoyances which I don't know should be brought up... IE: hide, target arcs, hull down... small stuff.

SWEET... congrats and well earned, playing it all morning (instead of being on my state of the art PC, lol)... damn good game.

As I said over at SimHQ, in a screenshot thread from my first mission... first impressions make this a big winner... very well done and a great price (Battle Academy was 20 bucks and not as well done, IMO). Sure it's not going to be as deep as the classics, but best app/game on my iPad3... and with my Apple TV, I can mirror it onto my HD Big Screen and play... very nice. Thx. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3549288/Combat_Mission_Touch_screens.html#Post3549288

Thx... I fiquered... Oh well, we got to come up with some Eastern Front related prizes then.

Yes... I know I probably shouldn't be asking this, and probably won't get an official response... but heres to trying... lol... I know we got Commonwealth up and coming, and looking forward to that... but will we see a Eastern Front module for CMBN, or not... or maybe that will be a completely separate game... ? I ask with reason... Were looking into a contest and the prizes are all based on the Eastern Front of WW2... we have no appropriate prizes for the Western Front unfortunately. Thx

Got my Steel Box edition today...thanks Battlefront...great game... but... I need a damn microscope to read the printed manual for Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy... come on Battlefront! Were not all 16 anymore. Loving this game so far... The King is back...or will be with community love and attention.

look under Sneaksie's name... your answer... If you got all of the series... I would of thought you would of known what your getting... this is a great game, best in the series... but I guess not everyone will be happy.

Hard to record with fraps due to the extreme graphics of the game... harder to give orders while recording... but I am loving this one... best in series so far... IMO... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8jOd-vV8C8&hd=1

nope... you have to make your own with the mission quick maker.

no... 2 different "publishers', one developer... 1C sent me a gold copy for review (and I asked about steam vs Battlefront)... but as you probably know, Battlefront's pre-orders are out.
