  1. Maybe "some people" grew up listening to how Patton should have kept on going through Germany to Moscow. We watched black and white TV PSAs about Civil Defense shelters. We dived under our school desks for drills or learned stop, drop and cover. We crapped our pants in October 1962. We watched Krushchev slap his shoe on the podium. We watched those movies that told us the evil Commies were coming to get us.

    Suppose that the Commies decided to take over the rest of Germany and whatever else and told the USA and NATO that you don't have the balls to use nukes? While the West wrings its hands and ponders, the East starts to move.

    That is what we want to play. That short time span of ground combat before the feces hits the fan.

  2. I tried this out last weekend. I quit when I started losing tanks after losing other assets. Now that I have read through this thread, I will start over. I'm new to SF and didn't get the nuance of how to play this.

    George's CMBB stuff is tough enough to scare me away from this one but I'll give it a go.

    Anyone new to all of this should read these pages for tips.

  3. I took the latest strings.txt from 1.31 and added the lines from the mod. I no longer get a crash in the editor.

    I started a few battles from the Red side but I don't see and names, just Team or 1st platoon or whatever with or without Russian names selected in options.

    When do names show up?

  4. I downloaded all 3 parts of the Syrope mod and used win-rar to open them at the same time into a folder. I placed that folder into the z folder in data. I viewed a couple of scenarios to see the terrain changes and verify that it worked. (still saw some palm trees in one scen)

    Later I tried opening the editor and it CTD. Removing the mod stops the crash. I have the Marines module. Since this mod is old, could it be not compatible with Marines?

  5. If you just took the plunge since the price drop, this thread may help you.

    I bought the Marines and CMSF bundle. The download installs as 1.11. You must update, in order, to 1.32.

    Clicking the link to Marines patches takes you to a page with 1.21a, 1.31 and 1.32. Clicking the link to 1.21a takes you to a page for 1.32.

    You must then click the link for previous patches to find 1.21 and 1.31.

    The game comes with the CMSF manual 1.20. There is a Marines manual supplement
