[CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side]

Past the 100,00 view mark! Wow. Thanks guys for staying with us while we did this. Wow.

Enjoyed the DAR. Looking forward to another.

[Compare to Empires of Steel]

Does anyone here also play EOS? I've just started playing around with EOS and was wondering how Strategic Command compares to it. Obvously the graphics are different but I'm how they compare in terms of ease to play, strategy, time to play, etc.

[Need help with CMBO running Win7 on Boot Camp]

Thanks again for the help. Good to hear I won't (hopefully) have the same problem with Normandy.

[CMBO on Win 7 using Boot Camp]

I originally posted this on the CMx1 board and got some good feedback from Schrullenhaft. But I thought I'd repost here for more visibility and see if anyone else could add feedback based on their experience. Thanks.

I recently got Win 7 running through Boot Camp on my iMac and downloaded the demo for CMBO to make sure it works. I've seen other posts indicating this combination should work. However, on startup of the first scenario I noticed a couple of issues. First, in the control panel at the bottom, everything looks fine except the fields where values are supposed to be - such as Turn __ of __. Where the __'s are, instead of showing the actual value, all I see is a white block. Anywhere on the screen that is supposed to display a value it only shows white blocks. Is this a driver issue? I loaded the Windows drivers off my Snow Leopard disk and thought these were the latest. Perhaps not. My second issue is the game doesn't seem to recognize any keyboard inputs. It doesn't respond to the function keys, arrow keys, etc. Again, could this be a driver issue.

Thanks for any help.

[Need help with CMBO running Win7 on Boot Camp]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check to confirm the video card. Will this continue to be a problem with CM:Normandy? If I run it through Boot Camp? If I run it natively on the Mac (assuming a Mac version will be available)?

[Game differences]

Thanks. I was just curious. As I said, I've played the CM1 games but I'm not into the modern settings so I'm waiting for CM:N. I tried the demo for TOW but found it's not compatible with my laptop's video card. Oh well.

[Game differences]

I've played CM and really like the game. I notice it looks very similar to TOW except (I believe) one is turn based and the other real time. What are the differences between the two and what are their pros and cons?

Thanks.
