Try this. I can't remember who made it but I found it here and it worked for me. I'm just giving back to others what I found. Remember to back up before you overwrite. Combat Mission Radeon_text_fix.zip

Wow! Any other details? Did it actually work? Any chance of getting our hands on it now?

Thanks dieseltaylor, I've been tinkering with PBEMhelper and I think I understood how it works. I might even get round to start an email game some day! but... can movies be made also when playing solo against the AI?

Hi guys, are there any good Blue v. Blue scenarios out there? I have CMSF and both its modules, but I'm not a fan of asymmetric warfare. I know it would be unhistorical (and heartwrenching) to commit Marines against Brits or the Army, but we could just suspend our disbelief for a moment Thanks in advance

Yeah, I'd love it, too. I remember being one of those millions asking.

I sometimes play as Italian blackshirts (pure infantry) defending against mechanized Newzealanders and Brits in the Italian theater (1943/44) and I have had my ass handed to me several times over!

I've never used it. Always thought it might give me an undeserved advantage. (It also reminded me of old hex-games). Why is it so useful? and doesn't it disturb "immersion"?

Gosh! Two weeks' work for a campaign. That sure answers why there are so few out there. If it's only half-made it will in any case give us players days and days of gaming pleasure. I tip my hat to you, ingenious scenario designers!

Rob O, just so that you know. I'm still very much using your QC generator. Thanks for the effort and the amazing idea. I am now in the midst of a North Africa campaign with my blackshirts trying to stop the British onslaught! Great fun! Perhaps one day, you'll think up a Normandy campaign? (for CMETO or when CM Normandy comes out?)

Steve, how about an enhanced version of RoBo's quick campaign generator for your next WWII title? Would that take away a lot of resources?

Thanks Hunter. Nice try. What a pity this dream hasn't come true. Hopefully the 99% can become 100% one day with the CM community's help.

John Kettler, thanks. You're such a wealth of information! Have you ever visited mvgroup.(something?)? Lots of WWII documentaries there.

Check out CMETO I just "bumped"

BUMP for a few people asking about Normandy scenarios and mods

There's CM ETO (European Theater of Operations). You should still be able to find it at http://www.cmmods.com/

yeah, and the only cat;) was a happily wandering madame's:rolleyes:

:eek: Oh no! Not again! Someone get these TotalWar fanboys off the forums! Just kidding, guys. Histwar: Les Grognards is what you should be waiting for. It's going to be much better (perhaps not for the graphics, but certainly in terms of historical accuracy and gaming experience, no doubt about that). malaspina LG fanboy

No, nobody is. There is talk of a LG release coming a couple of months after ETW, ie April/May. So, if RickW is looking for "grunt stuph", LG is what he should be waiting for, not ETW.

:eek:That's definitely a freudian slip. I'm sure you meant that he should be waiting for Histwar les Grognard, and that's only a couple of weeks more.

It all makes perfect sense

2038? Phew! I thought December 2012 was the end of the world. In that case we might get a chance to play a little CMC.

I'm playing CMBB daily, too. IIRC Steve mentioned somewhere that the CMx2 campaign system would be improved with the new WWII title and made more dynamic than it is now. Sure, there won't be a map to wander about, but I hope we won't be disappointed when we find out there are only one or two campaign maps in CMC. Hunter said they cannot be autogenerated and are time-consuming to make. The question is (for anyone who knows): how many scenarios on average will there be for each campaign? A number pre-determined by the designer (CMx1 operations style) or an indefinite number based on the player's performance?

Moon, thanks for the update. I understand that this project is not directly under BF's supervision but as publishers you might want to put some pressure on these guys. Maybe just a wee bit? If CMC comes out after CMx2 WWII only those 10 / 12 hardcore CMx1 fans that keep posting here will be buying this game. All the rest of us (certainly me) will make the switch and forget about CMx1 for good. So get them cracking!

By the way, Other Means, Have you been able to activate the "clear target" key?

Very useful. Thanks Other Means. I've just changed "Move hunt" to U and "Hide" to H. All the rest works great with me!
