Regarding the placement issue, I at first thought that your download must have been corrupted, or there was some weird error, or something, but then I loaded up the game myself and was mortified to discover that my painstakingly placed enemy units had teleported to entirely different locations!
FMB, could that maybe be related to the fact that Mad Mike's Campaign Scenario Organizer mod can't extract the scenarios for that campaign?

mod faces (M1A1TC did some North Koreans for CMSF -- there's a start)...
Tried that for the 442nd RCT for the Iatalian Campaign shoulder patches mod. The 3D models for CMSF and CMBN are different sizes or something. The "skin" bmp images are different and don't line up. In game, it looked like someone was wearing a Halloween mask stretched sideways across the face. Actually, it was pretty funny!

It's always possible waaaay down the road that a 3rd party might be licensed to develop it. I'm interested in it, since my Dad fought there, but I'm not holding my breath.

There is this for reference (bailing from a Sherman and Panther):

I have a catapult. If you don't give me all the money, I will throw a huge stone at your head???
Man, that Rufus was a regular Henny Youngman!

Put that thing away, tagge, and I'll tell you what I know. Brits and Fallschirmjagers and SS, oh my!

I wanted to read what you said, Michael, because undoubtedly it would be correct, but unfortunately I can't read it.
<Nobody said anything.>

Alot of movie references today. I have tonnes of Egyptian cotton, if you're interested, sburke.

Who? I'm Spanish
Blecthley, I thought you'd know since you posted the Manchurian Candidate pic!
Shaw was the senator (Actor: James Gregory) married to Angela Lansbury, mother of the brainwashed guy (Laurence Harvey) who in the end < SPOILER ALERT > shoots them both in the head at the convention, instead of shooting the Prez like he was supposed to. -
Angela Lansbury should have got the Best Supporting Actress Oscar she was nominated for for The Manchurian Candidate (1962).
I realise that's a little off topic but it was a subtle yet powerhouse performance, after all.
(Also got me a pointless answer in the final of "Pointless" I was watching on the BBC the other afternoon but now I'm really digressing)
I for one would call hers a truly bravura performance. I saw it in the theatre at about 11 years old, and it spooked the hell out of me for a long time.
-
I've been meaning to ask, how are the Honorable Senator and Mrs. Shaw been these days? I understand the Senator has been suffering from a huge headache.
-
Screw em, I'll wear it as a badge of honor. I love this game and no amount of schoolyard names is gonna ruffle my feathers one bit.
+1000 for me.

BF, when you tell togi, tell me too!

PM me with your email address.

AstroCat, yes I can shoot them to you. I really haven't determined which was more prevalent, but I assume it was somewhat random dependent upon which type was in the supply crate! After a few weeks, they'd be all messed up, faded, and what not, so could you really tell anyway? Then too, you've got replacements running through units at a good rate from various Repple-Depples, so I just don't thinkthere would be much uniformity.
-
Erwin, all the image .bmp files and the .wav sound files have to have specific names in order for the game code to read and use. You can Rezpack them into brz files, or just put them in a folder, and you can then name the brz file or the folder anything you want.
-
Sometimes other sound mods conflict. Sometimes it's necessary to put a z folder within the z folder when this happens.
I've also had the wierd experience of having the arty sounds show up in a downloaded scenario (several, actually), even though I had the first version of this mod loaded--and working--for months. Somehow the .btt file overrode the mod in the z folder?!?!?
nik, I did it just the way you did; the new one works just as well as the old one did.

I find copious amounts amounts of surpression and a slow methodical play style makes most scenarios managable. If at some point I start to rush in during the scenario I usually pay for it straight away. I only move in for the assualt once as much damage as possible has been inflicted on the surrounding area through supression and area fire, I also make sure it's co ordinated and comes in from as many sides as possible, and again with copious amounts of covering fire. There is no other games out there that requires this sort of real life play style which is why I think so many struggle with it. Everyone is used to a much faster style of game where your assualting straight away. I can spend 2/3rds of the scenario, moving up to my assault posistions whilst blasting any signs of the enemy and if I have tanks hitting as many suspect houses as possible. The last 1/3 is the actual assault.
This way even the hardest scenario can more or less be dealt with.
Also I do think people shouldn't concentrate on winning so much.
Amen to that, Brother. That's how I play against the AI and it makes the game experince, overall, feel right, taking into account the hundreds and hundreds of personal accounts of WWII combat I've either read about or heard direct from veterans.

What JonS and Sublime said.

But what BFC want is a new title every 12 months with a new module every 6 months or so for each title, and lots of things happening concurrently. Reality disagrees.
Around the time of CMBN release, Moon or one of the people-in-the-know at BFC (not Steve) said East Front/Bagration would be about 2 to 2 1/2 years out.
-
Battlefront and I both know that, 2012 or 2018, I am going to buy it no matter how much I talk about it between now and then!!!
That's wierd, 'cause Battlefront and me know the same thing about me!

SPOILERS!! *********************************************************************************
It's the ninth(?) scenario in the Road to Montebourg campaign.
No wonder!
But there were situations in RL like this, of course. Wait 'til Huertgen Forest scenarios get here (hopefully) with the Bulge game. But what sburke said....
-
Yep. AFAIK though there are no campaigns or scenarios intended to make use of it yet, though. This may change--I have a campaign concept in the works, no idea whether it'll get finished or not though.
skimbo, FM Blucher is correct. Only the terrain/troops are modded. No scenarios or campaigns yet. I'm slowly building a Cassino map, but it won't arrive until God knows when.....

I finally got around to finishing this uniform mod. It's up at GaJ's CMMODS, and sent to the Repository.
