I do that sparingly in some of my videos but usually cut out every single mouse click as it makes the video bloated and boring for the viewer. If it's an important moment before I hit the 'Big Red Button' I will explain it first but I aim to use it sparingly. Remember the joy of playing games is learning things for yourself. Saying that if BF ever tapped me on the shoulder to make AAR videos for them... A few of things I've learned doing CM AAR's: - It is very time consuming to do CM videos compared to other games. The one Total War video that is on my channel took less than a quarter of the time a CM video of the same length would take. The lack of a battle replay feature with CM is the problem here, so anyone doing a video AAR is making a big commitment. - I tried a full non-stop game of CM with commentary with one of the first ones I recorded. I didn't release it as it became very boring after about 10 mins. The gaps between the action were simply to long for a video. This means... - You need to edit CM videos heavily to make it interesting. Sometimes go back and re-record the action phase from a different angle to get a better view of the action is also required. - You need a beefy rig to do it right (in 1080p) with lots of Hard drive space for the raw footage, ideally on a separate drive to where the game is installed. Not every CM gamer has a powerful enough rig that can play Crysis let alone HD video editing without going nuts or burning hardware so that limits who can do it as well. Saying that if regular Combat Mission YouTubers wanted to form a group and share secrets please count me in.

Shameless self plug. I do AAR's and also little short funny or amazing moments I have in my battles. Currently designing a new PC with a lot more grunt to make video recording and editing easier. http://www.youtube.com/user/Ithikial/videos?flow=grid&view=0

I know Aris doesn't want to be employed as a texture guy judging by earlier posts but Battlefront should just kidnap him one night and chain him to a computer with Photoshop. Mmm maybe that's why we haven't heard anything from the Dev's for these last few months, they've been planning this very thing. Keep up the good work Aris/Fuser!

Great work, looking forward to the download.

My tactical brilliance (pure blind luck) I take out all four of the enemy tigers in one minute. One was confirmed destroyed start of the following minute.

Ran into the same issue with CMx2 a few years ago. Get FRAPS and you won't have a problem.

Just discovered the mod is missing a silhouette for the L5/21 light tanks. Used in the scenario Avanti! Specifically for the main 37mm gun when the crew member moves from the commander position to the gunner position. I'm using the plain option.

I feel dirty for having to stoop this low, but I'm on my knees begging for help from the forums. I have been run over time and time again by the AI in the Scottish Corridor Campaign in the 'Crescendo Scenario.' After fighting tough through Grainville I've now walked into a brick wall. I have a good force but there are just so many Panthers which seem to 'snipe' anything that poke their heads up. I have my Churchill's all hidden, waiting for the enemy to get closer but I'd like to use my AT Guns to hopefully take out few on the way in (especially with the 17 pdrs). Has anyone got any good tips for AT Gun placement in this scenario or any general tips for getting through it?

Thankyou Mr Bergman much appreciated!

Going to love this but one of the folders is empty. Weapons-aid-v1.zip -> plain-plain. I believe this is the folder with the bazooka etc without any other markings? Am I missing something?

Fredericksburg 1943?

Check out my channel, I do video AAR's where possible and other clips of funny CM moments. Thanks! It felt pretty epic at the time, didn't expect that level of saturation all at once. It was well planned timing on my part... Okay maybe not.

Anyone else? This pic at the end of of a nasty defense of Garvus. Catching up playing the Commonwealth Module Allied Campaign. What happened just before this German Assault that led to this result can be seen in the video below.

Battlefront hire this man! Great work.

Agree Slysniper, earlier periods would be awesome but I'm happy to wait for now. Also don't forget the CMBN CW scenario 'Collossal Crack.' Now that is a few thanks. But still not enough...

That's appalling shooting. Would be interesting to see if that's a bug.

Brilliant! Looking forward to release.

What hardware do you have? A good GPU? Hardware is important for video recording. One of my recent efforts, using Fraps and simple Moviemaker. Still learnign myself. Within Fraps I find recording at full resolution is a must for strategy games with lots of small troops/details.

Lets try again. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/51696551/Aris%20CMBN%20Mods.zip (warning about 750mb)

Ask and you shall receive. You will need dropbox. I've put all of Aris/Fuser mods in one spot with Dropbox. Simply copy to your Z folder. I don't use his decals as I like to keep my units 'generic' but hopefully it will save you some time. (Hope this works) https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/CMBN%20Mods Also I hope Aris doesn't mind.

Looking good as always. So this is the first test carrying over your mods from version 1.0 to version 2.0? So far so good?

Looking good. Quick question, what's the source of the map on the left in that picture?

Thanks that's worked. Brilliant idea and hope this continues!

Love this. Also Broadsword, great idea but the Google Map link isn't working for me. Is there something extra I should be doing once I click on the link? All I get is regular Google Maps.

Cheers Pete, thanks for the compliment. Hope you enjoy the AAR above. Still learning the ropes of video editing and there is always more to learn in CM, even after 10+ years.
