  1. Just went through the posts for the last year and found one dated 12-22-2012 by Panzer asking the same question, and there were no replies, now that seems odd to me. I am sure that Battlefront Ceo's;) check all of the posts now and then :confused: if not they should. I rarely get over here to look at the posts because I have very little time to browse around due to working on MWIF which takes quite a bit of my free time available to me. But I noticed that Matrix, Slitherine and Ageod have agreed to work together for the betterment of the computer war gaming industry and themselves of course. I was not much interested in the civil war era until now, that is why I am asking the question above. Matrix games in that era are Tillers civil war, Civil war1 the Blue and the Gray, the acclaimed Forge of Freedom, and the Scourge of War series, Shortly will be Civil War 2 and Brother against Brother.. Is there a reason why Battlefront has avoided that era? Just curious not trying to make any statement. If it is a policy of Battlefront to avoid that era then fine I have no problem with their decision in that area but I was wondering why they would allow one company [Matrix] reap all the rewards and profits from what seems to be a very large gaming community [Civil War] Bo Bill Beta tester MWIF
  2. Is there any information on a possible civil war game on Battlefront? Bill
  3. Not being negative but I used gamers hell for the download and it took I believe 3 minutes and 17 seconds. Bo
  4. Yo guys it looks like World in Flames computer game will be out before CMN:D Bo
  5. Thank you Hubert I do not normally use winrar but that did the trick, thanks again Hubert. Bo
  6. Hi Hubert, when I download from the repository brute force I only get the one file with the dog ear on it but I dont get the manila folder that will say brute force 1939 on it and I need both in the campaigns folder to play big A's game, what am I doing wrong? have downloaded it at least 4 times and only get the one file. Bo
  7. I had to reload my SC global and everything is working fine but when I download brute force I only get the folder with the clipped ear on it, but not the yellow folder with brute force that I have to have to play the game can anyone help me please. Bo
  8. Here I go again, I truly hate to complain about this global game because most of it is pretty well done. Some ten years ago there was a computer game called Third Reich, it failed miserly because the AI was incompetent, terribly incompetent, the allies would be attacking Germany in 1945 and the German AI was still wandering around Romania or elsewhere and never coming to the aid of the Fatherland, and no one played the game anymore [no knowledgeable players anyway] here it is ten years later and I am attacking the Japanese homeland and guess what the Nippon AI is fighting a stupid battle against China far away and is giving no help to the Land of the rising sun, have the programmers learned nothing in ten years, I have said this before there must be a way for the computer to sense when units are need elsewhere or when they are terribly outgunned to withdraw to fight another day, guess not huh!:confused: Bo
  9. Actually it is my brother in laws place, Arrowhead lake is off of 940, you take 115 to 940 make a left heading for Mt Pocono about 6 miles and turn on Locust ridge road about 4 miles down the road is Arrowhead lake, my wife and I ate at a diner where the train station is across from an old closed red brick [huge bldg] brewery, I think you could also sleep overnight in the rail cars but not sure about that. The river parks that border the Susquehanna river are quite beautiful at least in the summer never been there in the winter, I am enjoying the AAR's, great job by everyone, I have never played this game other than the demos, been more into strategic games, Strategic command, Panzer general etc. looking forward to this game, keep up the excellent work. Bo
  10. Hi Elvis I have a place at Arrowhead Lakes are you near route 115? Bo
  11. If possible could one of you beta testers show some of the interface like when you click on a tank or a squad it shows the attributes of that particular unit, would appreciate it, or would it violate contractual agreements? Bo
  12. I have never been a fan of combat mission in past years, always seem to like the board game look, Panzer general, Strategic Command etc, but after downloading Combat Mission shockforce demo I was very impressed with the graphics and game play, I also downloaded the demo of Beyond Overlord for comparison sake, I cannot believe the difference in what has transpired over the years to this game, to Battlefront my deepest admiration for what you and your programmers have achieved in bringing this series to what I believe to be a masterful creation of war both in graphics and in game play, and Normandy looks terrific also, and you combat mission players who through the years have hung in there till you got the games you so deserve, for your perseverance, kudos also. I am stunned by the tremendous difference between the cartoonish figures of Beyond Overlord as compared to the striking graphics of Shockforce and Normandy, not a dig just an observation. Enjoy these games gentlemen you deserved them. Bo
  13. Thank you the part about what you just wrote that troops will not dismount if the vehicle has orders to move, that clears up that part of my question, what I was doing was ordering my troops to dismount and instructing the vehicle to move 30 seconds later and it was not happening, thank you. Bo
  14. probably should not have used the word popup I guess? Please read the paragraph on pause and maybe clarify it better for me it mentions when you hit pause the second time you have more options, well the only thing I get is adding seconds on to the other times in pause, can you explain it better please? Bo
  15. I have been a strategic command player for many years and after reading about CMBN I have become interested in this type of game again, I downloaded CMSF v103 and I like the way it plays and looks, but I seem to be having some trouble or misunderstanding with the pause button and I would appreciate it if someone here could clear it up for me. In the rule book it mentions when you hit the pause button a fifteen second delay comes up and then a five second delay each time you hit the pause button, I have no problem with that, but in the book it says that a popup gives you more information on what you can do in giving orders, for some reason I cant get to that popup, probably me but it is annoying. For example I have nine troopers sitting in a stopped vehicle, I want the troopers to emerge from the vehicle and then have the vehicle move on to where ever I have ordered it to go in the same minute of play, I give the troops an order to move quickly to a spot outside the of the vehicle and then give the move order to the vehicle to go where I tell it to with maybe a 20 to 30 second pause delay, for some reason the troops do not leave the vehicle and after the alloted pause time the vehicle moves off, what am I doing wrong, is it possible that the demo is different than the regular game? Bo
  16. Field Marshall I have a intel pentium dual 2.80 ghs total memory 2046, video card a Ge force 7800gtx memory 256mb, windows xp, would this be adequate to run the game Normandy CM, and if not which one of the above would you upgrade first? Bo
  17. And that should suffice but there are many more reasons that the Russians would attack you early and those reasons are found in the scripts, look them over carefully and you will find out why they attacked you early, good luck. Or do what I suggested remove all check marks that have anything to do with the Russians joining the allies and there are quite a few of them. Bo
  18. If you cannot figure out why Russia is attacking you first and very early like jan 1941 go into your scripts and undo any checkmark that has to do with Russia joining the allies for any reason, any checkmark in war entry or mobilization 1, 2, or 3, takes a little time but it would resolve that problem, but more realistic would be to find out why the AI Russians are attacking early, and that can be found in the scripts, like maybe you do not have enough garrison troops in a conquered Poland, and other reasons, if Russia does attack first I dont believe the outcome would be any different meaning a complete German victory, what I would like to know is are you new at this game, not a dig but if you just started to play this great game I would be more than glad to give you some ideas to help you defeat the Russians, or as the Russians defeat Germany [maybe defeat Germany:rolleyes:] Bo
  19. I have not played combat mission for quite a while, the Normandy campaign sounds terrific as are the pictures shown above, great job guys, one question, I just saw a clip about the mg42 on a weapons show which still just might be the finest machine gun ever made, will this weapon be include in the Normandy mod. I mean will you actually see gun crews firing this awsome weapon? Bo
  20. thank you Moon but it tells me when I go to load that the license # is wrong please advise Bo
  21. HELP Battlefront, I just got a virus that I could not get rid of and I had to wipe out my hard drive, guess what my license on my saves file went with it, I have all the SC games I have been on the posts for years, how do I get the game to work again, can someone please help me with the license? Thank you Bo
  22. You were in AA wow did not know that is everything ok now:D according to every post I have read over at matrix there will be an AI for MWIF. The only problem I have is at my age now I will be in a nursing home without internet when the game is completed if ever:confused: If you have nothing else to do other than to make a trench warfare game:mad: wouldnt it be better if you scooted over to Matrix and help Steve complete his massive endeavour. Bo
  23. Now look SeaMonkey enough is enough it annoys me when people know what I am doing, you been talking to my wife she calls me jack wagon also. I went to mamby pandy land because I did not like what was going on here, AI, small map etc. I have been gone for awhile but I keep an eye out for some improvement of SC, with Big Al and Nup doing nice looking mods I decided to invest a little more time here, and probably will stay awhile as long as you keep harping on Big AL to improve an already very good mod. But I know this will make you angry when I leave for good to play MWIF, now at my age I will most likely be in a nursing home without internet when it is completed.:confused: Oh Well! Bo
  24. errrrrrrr dont think so, meaning you misunderstanding, its me that gets things wrong:confused: come on Big Al speak up. Bo
