In the battle ASMAR Crossing I have seen mortars that can be called in by Combatant HQ units, I have had a look in editor but can not figure out how the designer did this, but it is possible. If anyone can tell me how to get artillery called in by other units than FO Teams, it would be much appreciated. thanks paul

hi is this campaign playable as 2 player PBEM, I have only found one mini campaign that is, that’s all, if it can be played WEGO then I will test it, but it will take a while, otherwise I can't, as I only play human opponents in CMSF. I know it is a lot of work balancing forces but I wish more people would design balanced 2 player campaigns as there is a serious lack of them in the File Repositories. I just think it would be cool to play a campaign against a reliable opponent and have a balanced score at the end of it. thanks paul

hi there are BRDM2's avalible in game which are equiped with AT-5B Spandrel missiles, i was just wondering if these are modeled in CMSF or do they use specifications of another missile, used in CMSF, because i have not been able to find info on this missile in manual:confused:, as all it gives is troop portable ATGM launcher's info only.

Hi the saying goes "no news is good news" but when waiting for British Module it definitely does not apply. I think it should be changed to "any news is good news", so please BFC can we have an update on progress and maybe an up to date TO&E or any others scraps of information. Thanks Paul

Last time I had this problem was with an AT4 in setup. So if I am right I should have been able to deploy any heavy weapon, as long as I am on suitable ground, so there should be a weapon deploy button, but as you can hopefully see from attachment, that it is missing. Aren’t you supposed to get a weapon deploy button for all heavy weapons when in a place they can setup in? Do ATGM automatically setup in game even when they do not have a target in sight?

hi still having the same problem, this time with AT4's in setup phase in a new game.:confused:

Hi thanks for replies, as no one else has seen this bug, it might be an installation bug on my computer. The bug is not happening because units exiting vehicles, here is a screen shot from PBEM game of FISH Battle, which has no red vehicles. I am moving my ATGM to a roof and as you can see from screen shot, no Deploy Weapon option is displayed. Can anyone explain it? Sorry for pic size as i could not work out how to post in full size. Thanks. Paul

I have noticed that in v1.11 that some time I do not get a deploy weapon option for some Red ATGM. So they sit there until they see something worth killing and then start deploying:confused:, which takes ages in PBEM games. Is this a bug anyone else has noticed and will it be fixed in v1.12? Thanks to BFC for British screen shots. Paul

Hi just wondering how it is going on British Module? Is there any chance we will have it this month? Or is that out of the question? I as most people here, check site and forum a few times a day to see if there is any little scrap of info, I was just wondering what are we waiting for? An announcement that it has gone gold? Love your work, best game on market, and definitely my favorite game! Keep up the good work done in the past 10 years, thanks for the years of gaming pleasure! paul

hi if you want to play PBEM then there are sites out there like http://worldatwar.eu and http://www.unitedwargamers.net but most players play by email on a turn basis, i guess you could arrange to play real time online game but have never tried.

Hi can we please have an update on British Module from BFC, i know for threads it will not be ready before end January, but it has been a month since we received any data or facts about the new Module. How is it progressing? Any tidbits of information would be much appreciated. Thank paul

Playing against a computer is one thing, but a human opponent is another thing entirely, far more enjoyable and challenging. There are a few sites out there for arranging CMSF PBEM or Online games against other people, but to me the best site is www.worldatwar.eu as it is more than just a place to arrange games, but after each battle you enter results, which count towards your place on the ladder, you receive medals and gain rank and much more. On the CMSF Ladder there are at present 14 players on main ladder and 12 in boot camp, so 26 players in total. We need more so have a look.

I know v1.10 PBEM's are not compatible with v1.11, so i have now two copies of CMSF on my computer v1.10 and v1.11, to allow me to finnish v1.10 PBEM's. My question is can i now start new PBEM's or am i going to have the same PBEM incompatibility problems when British Module is released, will V1.11 PBEM files work with British module ? The British Module should be out soon hopefully !!! so should i start new PBEM's in v1.11 or should i wait for British module ? Can BFC please Comment ? i now British module is an addon and should only effect British games, but i just want to make sure before i have three copies of CMSF on my computer.

hi i have a very old 32bit computer and am thinking of a massive upgrade. at the moment graphics are very bad and slow loading and saving when file are large. Present Computer CPU AMD Athlon 3000+ 32bit Socket A running at 333MHz Mem. 2GB Graphics Radeon AGP X850XT 256MB GDDR3 New Computer Mother Board : Asus Crosshair II Formula CPU : AMD X2 Dual Core AM2 Athlon 64 6400 3.2GHz Mem. : Corsair 4GB DDR2 (2x2048MB) XMS2 Dominator 8500C5 with Fan Graphics : Asus GeForce GTX 280 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-Express This is a very expensive upgrade and will take months to save for but it has to be done. i hope not to have to do another major change for a few years as the motherboard will hopefully later allow me to add another 4GB Mem. , another GTX280 in SLI setup and even go with a triple core CPU when there speeds are faster. Any thoughts, ideas and advice welcome ! Thanks paul

hi i have a problem in marines javelin teams carry 2 missiles but in PBEM once fired i send the team to a vehicle that has missiles in it, acquire then and they show up in teams inventory and disappear from the vehicle. next turn they have disappeared, not in team inventory and not in vehicle. does anyone else have this problem and if so will it be fixed in v1.11. thanks paul

i have found www.worldatwar.eu to be a great site as you can challenge people to battles, post results of battles, go on a ladder, receive medals, improve in rank and much more.

hi i had same problem running a 32bit AMD 3000 ati X850 2GB RAM thought old computer causing problems being 32bit system but graphics card never working properly due to catcontrolcenter needing net.framework 2 or higher to function correctly. i installed this and can now play battles i could not before. hope this helps

BFC can you please release some type statement ?:confused: thanks paul

Is today the day that the Marines will arrive and liberate us from the agony of waiting ?

hi can we have some information on what the next move is with Marines. Are we waiting for the competition results to be posted or are we waiting for a email from BFC to say download is ready? can we please have some news BFC? good or bad news is better than no news:confused:

Do BFC work weekends or at which point do i except that my hopes have been dashed of a weekend release, and console myself with a next week release. this is so i don't have to check BFC MARINES have gone gold announcement all weekend. thanks paul

hi i am presently playing a number of PBEM games, how will these work with Marines and v1.10 patch ? Will i have to end these battles early and start new ones once Marines is installed ?:confused: thanks paul

don't worry to to purchase a company, purchase a battalion, it should appear in right hand panel, click on + to the right of battalion and click on a unit and press delete, HQ units have to be deleted after there sub units. paul

i have used javelins against infantry in building and found it quiet affective. i do not aim directly at infantry but rather at the part of the building they are in.

Hi I have noticed that acquiring equipment out of a vehicle in unit deployment phase of the editor is not allowed, in the manual it says: Deployment Commands During Deployment mode a limited number of Commands are available for each unit type, mainly related to administrative tasks. MOVE, FACE, HIDE, ACQUIRE, DISMOUNT, DEPLOY WEAPON, SPLIT TEAM, ASSAULT TEAM, ANTITANK TEAM Note: The Commands work the same way they do during a battle. See the Commands section of the manual for more details. But I have no backlit acquire button when in vehicles in the deployment phase. In a scenario where an infantry force was say air inserted into a blocking position they might need javelins to defend against tank and APC assaults. Is this going to be permitted in future patches? thanks paul
