A Canadian Cat

I have good news and bad news. I don't know which is which so here they are : I confirmed I see the problem too in the file you sent me - bug logged. I tried to reproduce it from scratch and could not. Any hints on what order or what you clicked on when you first hit the problem?

That is just not an accurate picture. In WW2 the crews will pop smoke and withdraw when hit. The trouble is they frequently do not survive that first hit. Couple that with the behaviour that delays said withdrawal if the crew are engaging their attacker. In the modern setting the lazer detection system triggers the withdrawal behaviour. That means tanks in the modern setting more often survive the first shot because they prevent it from happening. The crew behaviour is essentially the same but the tech means that more modern crews stay alive to be accused of panicking while more WW2 crews die in place to be accused of stoic bravery. I think ken pointed out the error there. Probably the biggest problem with at guns is the move animation means the gun flips around the crew instead of the crew moving the gun. That is a limitation that is not likely going away any time soon.

@c3k's comments were great. Several people have had this conversation with Westland at the blitz before. He seems to be set in his opinion. That was another reason I really didn't feel like going item by item through his thoughts. There are a couple of guys over at the blitz that tried CM2 and have complaints and have gone back to CM1 and that is totally fine BTW. There are a whole bunch of players over there that are happily playing CM1. I think that is great. Spending time discussing issues that CM1 players see when they move to CM2 is OK too. Discussing the same issues with the same people who are not actually interested in listening. That I don't feel is productive.

@Dynaman216 is correct everything available at BFC, except shock force, is shipping with v4 already. CMBN has three modules, a vehicle pack and a battle pack. CMFI has one module with another on the way. CMRT, CMFB and CMBS all are just the base game. Oh I forgot the battle pack for CMBS. So the most content look at CMBN or CMFI.

No, sadly you cannot specify a custom point value. But all is not lost. As you can see when you purchase units in the QB screen you can go over budget. So what you can do is use the QB purchase system to pick your forces and then record them and create a scenario using that set of forces. A while ago a friend of mine and I did this with a 20 000 point QB battle. The opening posts describe how we did it and there is a pdf instruction guide you can download:

I have huge issues with the drama used in his descriptions. It is possible some of this might be with looking at. My biggest problem is I just don't feel that way so I have zero motivation to dig into anything so open ended. In all cases I have basic questions like when you say hidden do you mean with the hide command? What footage of at guns? The propoganda reels or the parade ground drills? Panthers are a problem? Yes and? There so many open unknowns and over the top statements I have no idea where to begin. If anyone feels like they want to play around with the infantry spotting in buildings and provide concrete examples I might have something more interesting to say. Honestly, much of this has been discussed before. At guns and trees have been discussed before several times.

I'm no python expert but a couple of clues might help you get there. CM renders the screen using open GL. So, if you can get open GL to save the screen using Python you should get what you want. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32052271/capture-screen-using-glut-and-opengl-with-python Of course that speaks to code to capture the screen that program rendered. I am not sure if there is another example that could lead to capturing the screen rendered by another program. That might get you pointed down a path the gets you what you want.

Is that what blew up the bridge?

Hee, hee. I have a few jobs I could use some help with too. Funny we testers did not discuss a pool to see how long it would take for someone to be a total d***. We did talk about a pool to see how long it would take before someone noticed a surprise in the pics / video. Hint, I might have distracted people from the suprise part.

Exactly, same here. I have never had the problem you and @Hilts describe. I move my mg teams around plenty. Now that we know you are pushing the right buttons and such share that saved game and let me see what happens when I try. You can pm me a drop box link or email.

I thought it was back space to delete a move order while delete removes target commands. What are the two keys on the Mac? Also note there are several shades of blue / red setup areas for both sides. Any unit starting in one shade can pop to any location in the same shade of blue or red but all the other areas have to be moved into under their own power.

No, the ability to destroy bridges is not new. For example you can do it with artillery or direct gun fire. I just took out two bridges in a game I am playing now. It took a lot of 155 shells to pull off but it is totally doable.

Oh I see. Sorry I cannot see a dl link that is accessable without having purchased it either. Sounds like a job for support - guess you have to wait a bit.

Ah... But when did the two platforms come together? For v1 and v2 they were separate licenses for sure. V4 is definitely same license for each platform. I cannot remember about v3.

Most of the games are fully patched with the full version. I think CMBS has an additional patch for the battle pack but other than that the other games are up to date.

I have no idea about that. They use data from multiple sources though, no idea if this is one of them. Yes, those are modeled.

LOL - what. The NYT is a very credible new source. After all when they make a mistake they will correct it. Propaganda outlets don't do that. If your handle @AtheistDane is serious then you should value those that seek the truth and not just follow the party line by blind faith.

It is good to know information about other forces - friend or foe. In this case I think you have their enemy wrong.

LOL with alcohol all the games would look like that. You can have separate profiles for each game so those anti alias settings could be different for the other games.

I added it to my FAQ post - which is pinned. Hopefully that will be good enough.

The font (and other UI elements) do not scale so text will be smaller. I play at 1080p on a 20 inch monitor and I am 50 and can read the screen easily. If you are playing at 2160p on a 27 inch monitor (assuming 16:9 like mine) the text will be 2/3 the size. I think that would be a bit small but probably manageable.

This could possibly help:

For CMRT and it can be found on the Repository. For info and the link: http://www.combatmission.lesliesoftware.com/RedThunder/Campaigns/Thunder Over Ponyri.html

On the Imgur page right click on the image and either copy its url or open in a new tab and get it from the address bar or on mobile long click on the image and open it on its own tab, depending on context and browser, then paste it in the message body. If the image appears while you edit it will work. If just the link appears then try something else.

Interesting stuff @Drifter Man. Regarding pictures: the forum has a very small storage allotment for each member. Those of us that post a lot of pictures put them on other sites and share them here. Photobucket was the most popular until they decided to no longer offer any free service. I just started hosting images on my own domain. I am not sure what service most others are using.
