I had problems with WinRAR lately.
But I also use 7-zip with no problems. Go figure.
I found the following out about AGEOD games (full game downloads or patches). I couldn't unzip the file because my anti-virus was on. The anti-virus either corrupted WHILE downloading OR when I tried to extract the files downloaded.
So there is my 2 cents-either use another Zip file utility-or turn off your anti-virus when downloading or extracting. FWIW.
What OS are you running and AntiVirus? I'm Win7 with Microsoft Essentials AV

IanL -thanks I didn't know that. National Guard unit heh.
HINT from a veteran CM player (have all the module). Not a spoiler and isn't covered in training. Not obvious to first time player of CM.
You can move the fortifications. Not just troops and vehicles-but fortifications They are not permanent. If you were a commander where would you dig a foxhole(s)?
SPOILER way below
No man in my virtual pixel command sits in a jeep reading his dirty picture magazine while eating a Hershey Bar. Every swinging d**k is out there preparing positions. Including drivers.

Really nice work! Thanks, poesel

Juju-release it-just call it JuJu Public Beta Release! I MUST have this mod!
HAHAHAHAHA

Thanks JanMasterson!

Would there be snow traces around the engine compartment given that it is warm/hot??

My 1st battle in FB. Action on Lanzerath Ridge. Playing as the Americans.
F******* Mg 42's- I really hate that sound now :^I. Passed out like lollipops to every German it seems.
It was a 'near run thing' -no spoilers.
Oh man I wish I had a video of the lone carbine equipped GI taking out the German HQ's unit.
Pretty proud about this minor victory on IRON level.
I have to say though-I am really looking forward to see how someone will improve on the uniforms on the German side. Because the stock uniforms look EXCELLENT.
Solid game play against the AI.

Thanks. Very useful-I find myself playing with foliage off most of the time anyway.
-
I'd have to agree. I even looked under the USMC. And could find anything. The Germans really had it very detailed.
-
Thanks.
-
Yeah I saw enough icons on the net to agree with that.

NATO unclassified also has the upside down "J" pg 57 of 118.

Subject says it all and GOOGLE wasn't my friend. I can't seem to find it for WWII. The German one is an upside down 'j' with the curve to the right. Allied unit icon-no luck.

A shield. Weird but there it is. Guess this happens when you try to put 10lbs into a 5lb sack.

Says an armor shield was added-why one side and not the other? Who knows. I've seen M5 pictures without the plate. M5 manual shows with and without. Odd little tank. Manual even instructs about the 30 cal being used as a dismount weapon.
See pg 37 through 42 of the pdf with drawings.

I was playing the training mission again. I think I have a handle on driving Sherman's snow. But when I went fast on a road and then wanted to make a turn the Sherman seem to struggle like it couldn't get bite on the road to make the turn. Am I imagining this?

Snowbirds
In the US they migrate during winter.

I downloaded it and just peeked at the briefing, maps and layout. Looks like some effort was put in to this to give it polish.
Will play it this week. I'll give some feedback without giving away spoilers.

Enjoyed the demo but really miss your artwork. I always use your UI mod.
-
Thanks Battlefront
-
Ack your right-Thought this was the Black Sea thread.
What happens when you select UNREAD CONTENT on ACTIVITY tab.

I just read where a Russian soldier called a mission on himself killing himself and ISIS moving in on him. One man Special Ops. But I guess since he is a one man show he would be his own HQ. Right? No assistant?
All NATO unit Special Ops I'm aware of is multiple men.
FWIW

I got a ton of games-way too many to play or give them justice-Total War, Hegemony this and that, Op Star, Steam and Iron, Rise of Flight, DCS (I even buy their betas hahaha), John Tiller-Nearly every AGEOD game, Command Ops, ARMAxxx....you get the idea.
I keep coming back to Battlefront. Not going to go through the issues-do a search plenty of open threads and a few locked threads on 'stuff'. And I have my own opinion and issues BUT suffice to say Battlefront always provided a DEMO-so you know what you are getting, I never had problems with their help desk, and to extent their games are mod able. I love the Z Folder setup.
I'm not a fan-boy but in our 'niche' market they are pretty damn good.
That's it.

Thanks for thanks for the responses. I usually play some QB infantry action (small forces large maps) and equip my men with 2 Ravens. Haven't had any luck spotting troops. But yes Russian AA does kill them easy in scenarios.
HAHAHAHAHA
REQUEST: USA Tactical Icon for American units used by Germans
in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Posted · Edited by Tempestzzzz
One of you Icon Gurus-could you investigate if that could be done? I haven't exploded the full game files yet. Demo didn't have captured units. I suspect it just a copy and paste exercise on whatever the German Icon is for the American units. Might confuse the other player in a PBEM-but then again-that's the whole idea. Right?
And if this can be done-I suspect both PBEM parties need to have the same icon mod for it to work in their face off.. As it is the icons are a dead giveaway as can be seen in the screenshot.
You turn on the scenario and the German vehicles don't fire on the US oooooooohhhh evil.
Look guys the cavalry BUWAHAHAHA
My video card can't handle the full dealership scenario-so I split it up (Armored and Track) and imported some captured American units from the scenario using them hence I discovered the grey German stock icons.
