I had this card recomended to me -- as a replacement for my current one -- any know issues with CBMSF-- not concerned about CMBB OR CMAK as I have another c'puter for that if I want -- but do not want to lose CMSF-- ANY THOUGHTS PLEASE

The book is "Take Down" and it is about the 3rd ID -- lots of general battle stories -- lots and lots of thoughts for battles-here is a statement -- " the fight looked a star wars movie with all the tracers and ricochets" also this game has really changed me-- in CMBO I enjoyed the vehicles- the most and arty then men as to combat-- now it is the soliders then vehicles with the M-1 being last on my list-- and I like the M1 but there is so much more to the game than just the armor---- I have even gotten a Banzi type attack good job-BFC-- btw the book over and over tells of the technial style attacks and human wave style of fighting- at one time they fought up and over a 100 meter escarpment that went for miles in both directions -- thereby make natural kill zones for the Iraqis-- good book-- any more?

A battle that has much of what is being discussed is Red Pepper-- with out spoilers -- it is a good and tough battle with marines-- there are 2 versions the first is the hardest--

I put a brief one in scenarios forum -- I will try good bad or indifferent --if I beat Red Pepper I will crow of course I have lost 4 times now

The battle Follow the Euphrates--mission finish off a beat up Mech Inf force and take a cross rd and hold Forces-4 M-1 4/ MGS ,,,10 Strikers--you have 81 &120 arty Area -- there are some small woods to the right of the road-- a wall and a large grass field--in the center is the highway then a small walled village//in front of the village as you approach there is a larger woods and a grass field Spoliers You are under arty fire as you approach I send the M1 down the Road with stykers in support slowly ///three STk went to the small woods on the right and dismounted troops to clear the woods--they then went on and brought fire on the grass field-- the M1 also and the stykers did too-- there were many trenches in these areas-- also some 81 mm fire// all this until cleared// as this was cleared i sent up 2 Mgs and more troops the three m1 went to crossroad held it and fired on the Mech Infanty and called in arty to the left I sent Stks and Mgs through the woods to the city wall about the middle -- a large section of wall was blown down -- and fire was brought down on an alley through which the ec's attacked --they were cut down I also sent a m-1 and an MGS to over watch the left grass field and that part of the highway-- a counter attack was made by t62s but was stopped cold by the lone M1- for some reason the MGS allowed a t62 to approach and did not fire --but the t-62 did-- result- Total victory my first after 4 tries- Lost 38 kia but 18 came from a 120 mm strike that was wrong Friendly fire aint-- I had 1 M1 immoblished and lost an MGS and a Styker this is a battle in the game

I had to re install CMSF & Marine Modul -- I started playing a downloaded battle --of course it got lost in the process--problem is I can not remember the name-- or where to look --I was a Marine attack up a shallow valley with a highway on the right --and village in the flat and some armor in hills you had f-18 support Lavs and the Marine APC-- any clue any one? If not I will live but it seemed like a good battle

Last stupid question and where should we put the AARs

boy aint that the truth

I usually do not feel I can offer anything- it took me 4 tries to beat along the Euphrates-- but I finally did--maybe it was 5 anyway __I am grateful for the scen makers--- and good or bad will post some thing

while I rarely post I have been with BFC since CMBO- and the forum has changed-- for the better overall i think - as to the current discussion - regardless of who you fight in life or a game if it is a fair fight you are doing something wrong-you can build you own battles make them as hard as you can stand-- I have tried to beat Red Pepper as the Marines and so far have not done it- I have inflicted a lot of causalities-- but lost every time all 5 of them -- I have not give up as I got close the last time-- I am not very good because most battles for me are a struggle- but it is getting better-- the things one can see in this game- rounds slamming through afvs- grenades rolling - javs going up over and down-- I watched (over and over ) a T62 explode and knock down the small building next to it-- If any of you guys can beat red pepper easily please lets play and show me how --or just tell me:)

for what ever it is worth I would keep them too

I played the Brit demo through at least twice now "Demo exe has a problem" and down we go

I will look at that

I got the same with the demo but no explanation as to why--hence the reason I hae not gotten the game yet _ I was concerned for some reason I might not be able to run it

looks good timely and fun

Help-- I have tired this several times and several ways but I get stomped every time-- --could some one give me a hint or two-- I tried to send marines up the nearest hill for overview- lost them-- everytime I sneak up an M1 they are lost-- shoot and scoot I lose them-- so HELP --btw I like the new map --- just too dumb to play it

you will be missed

I too have found I am not so much when it comes to secn making but I try at least for my self-- One can also do any --most any of the Iran -Iraq war-- I have made a couple of them and have one I might post in the big R-- with this you have history and can lots of infantry or arty or Helos air or armor, mass wave charges-- anyway just a thought- personally I like the smaller maps as I did in Close Combat and in the cm 1 series-- there is so much going on that I want to see I still use the wego just to watch-- this is a good game

-- I have not figured this S editor -- but hopefully I will -- anyway -- after choosing red and blue sides I deleted what I did not want--or so i thought -- when I started up myleft there was a great firefight at about a meter or so-- it seems I left the extra Red and blue forces -- on top of each other and were they having a go ---oh well I am learning-- btw has any one thought about Iran and Iraq wars of the 1980 ? It would be easliy done and will be at least by me- and if no better than now only for me

congrats BFC I have all the CM games so far and intend to for the future good job and all the best--I actually signed up when CMbo came and had a low number but let it go oh well -- that about 30 bucks will get me the next game

thanks guys I went back read what is now printed in this thread and saw the "+" thing -- I would bet I have read that section 4-5 times before --anyway dum and dummer will now go to bed happy thanks again

1st thanks but after I mostly finished the map I moved to units-- avaiable and accepted or purchased -- where or what do I do get the oobs to open up and let me pick and chose -- I have not read or found this - I know how to buy en-mass or remove in mass but what am I missing

I have read and reread the game manual but I can not figure out how to thin down the purchased forces-- I want about 4-6 Strikers and troopers for a night fight I am making--but all get is way too much -and all I can do is remove all or nothing--so what am I missing or maybe where else do I look -my goal is down load it after I test and tweet for a while to the REP.

I resisted it at first for some of the same reasons listed --but have now fallen into it -- I rarely play the other CMs -- I have not played SP in do not remember when -- and am in the process of learning to make scenarios -- it is a really good and enjoyable game will let you see and do things that are very immersive--I used to play with a 3-4 level camera--not now2-3 as there is so much to see// I prefer WW2 but this is quite good

I saw an M10 at Fort Knox it is a pretty big afv -- over impression is it is bigger than the Sherman -- which may or may not be true-- i know it is not in armor and weight
