  1. Topic says it all. I'd like my pioneers to stay on the safe side after blowing a hole, not act as the scout
  2. For renaming do I not put a _ before the number? And do these bmps need to be in the same folder or can I just have a separate variant folder and the game is smart enough to "put it all together"? based on file names? And does it matter how many subfolders a brz or bmp file is under or will the game still find it as long as it's under z? Oh ya and also, does the game automatically assign similarly numbered bmp "pieces" of a vehicle together? (i.e. panther_g_hull 2 and panther_g_turret 2) or is there a chance it could screw up and stick say panther_g_hull 2 with panther_g_turret 3? thanks
  3. Haha seeing you guys flipping out is a bit funny Really though, triggers could be immensely useful for scenario making. Example: When certain total point value of enemies enter an objective zone (Say a town), it triggers reinforcements for the other side. This would be great for more precise timings for things rather than relying entirely on just "30 minutes have gone by" (which is how it's done right now correct?)
  4. Hey anyone got some good mods to recommend? I used a lot in CMSF including some great sound mods, smoke mods, etc. that really made the experience better (Especially the sound stuff) thanks
  5. You on the official team now George? Hope so, your maps always rock!
  6. Wonder why we still need thousands of nukes... Surely a few hundred at most is enough to destroy the surface of the earth?
  7. Cool thanks guys I'll check all those you mentioned out.
  8. I realize this is like 2 years late but just played this and enjoyed it a lot! Very "black hawk down"-esque. One of my 3 man delta sniper teams accounted for ~20 dead... pretty impressive. You can definitely see the experience coming into play at "elite".
  9. What are some good infantry centric campaigns? I have all the the Marines and NATO modules. (red or blufor don't care) I played In Search of A Ghost and enjoyed that quite a bit so I'm looking for more of the same kind of vibe. thanks
  10. Ya I can imagine someone giving up pretty quick if they're using the terrible tab system for their hotkeys. Ugh! I could see that detracting some serious points. I on the other hand have every single (important) command hotkeyed to a unique key. I just used space bar to issue commands till I had them all memorized.
  11. Ya Minecraft is insanely popular and has terrible graphics. I can actually think of several very popular games that have mediocre graphics. (mostly indie stuff) I think the issue is that it's wargaming, which is much more of a niche than games with worse graphics. And CMBN is without a doubt less "polished" than many mainstream games. Really though, I take professional reviews with a massive grain of salt... usually it's much more helpful to read player reviews. All of my favorite games except for like 1 got reviews in the 70s-80s range funnily enough. Professional reviewers place way too much emphasis on polish these days in my opinion, whereas many gamers less so. It seems that creativity and polish are usually mutually exclusive. Don't forget though that the old CMx1 games, especially CMBB got VERY high scores from mainstream publications. This was before the obsession with "polish" had fully set in IMO (though CMBB was quite polished tbh) And yes Yahtzee is great entertainment .
  12. I dunno about that, it can be a hassle to replot a whole carefully conceived path. Thankfully I think it's on "the List"
  13. I wish there we could get some rich grognard millionaire to just fund BFC, patronage style, like back in the Renaissance days
  14. This might be a stupid question but why didn't the rest of the allies just start copying the Garand to replace their bolt action rifles (or even Germany for that matter)? Too big a shift for production? I'm not suggesting they could refit their entire army but it makes sense to me to shift production for every NEW rifle made to the new, pretty much superior in every way rifle. Or same thing for the MG42 (allies steal the idea).
  15. Alright so I've started playing CMSF some more lately and I consistently get annoyed when I can't hit a hotkey for clear target... but the thing is, I don't see the option for it in the hotkeys txt file. I saw a "NOT USED" in the space where I suspected it would go (under target arc and target light), so I put "J" there for the key and launched the game. Well sure enough the "J" key got assigned to "Clear target" in-game but it didn't actually *work*. When I hit J I get nothing. I went back out and typed in clear target instead of "NOT USED" but still no dice. I searched on the forums and people were saying it's not remappable from delete. Is this still true? A bit odd but oh well. thanks
  16. Will this patch screw up my save games in any way? Currently going through the German NATO campaign. And yes BFC's post release support is impressive.
  17. Haha wow what are the odds, someone else in Aiken playing CM
  18. Weren't something like 70%+ of WW2 casualties due to mortar and artillery fire?
  19. I know this has been talked about at length I was just curious what the last word was on this I haven't really been checking... Not trying to start this debate all over again I think everyone knows it's pretty important.
  20. It's getting pretty popular at universities thankfully. My team lost the state championship by one point the year before I transferred . They won it the next. I was only a second-string wing but still had lots of fun. Our captain actually was getting looked at by some European professional teams at the time. He was a beast. Good times. Great sport.
  21. I wish rugby was the American national sport instead of (American) football. I enjoy it so much more (both playing and watching)
