What might help your is that there are mods for gridded terrain, that help you see the subtle contours of the ground. Some people like them, others prefer to crawl around the map. Check the repository at The Few Good Men and look under the terrain headings.

Convoys and road marches have always been possible in CM.  My main issue is just the number of clicks and the significant care needed in plotting each individual unit.  The pauses really help in limiting bunch ups.

I would love, LOVE, LOVE! to see a Flight Commander 3 someday.

Hey Guys,
Took a few years, but I'm back to working on CM stuff. Have revamped my Combat Mission Website and over the last few months have populated it with some old (5 Campaigns). some reworked (5 Scenarios of which three are really new), and some new (6 new scenarios).  Also have other things in the works including a 9 scenario campaign for CMFB ' Task Force Baum'  and a 7 scenario campaign for CMCW 'Son of Major Nosov'. 
Think the new layout of the website makes it easy to not only get at the scenarios/campaigns but should provide enough description to see if your interested in downloading them or not. Would love to get feedback on any of them you attempt to play. Enjoy, and I am happy to be active again.

AI may replace programmers someday, but today is most certainly not that day.  I've tried AI code generation to help me a couple of times when internet search was coming up with wrong answers - the AI came up with exactly the same wrong answers, it just was more assertive in the incorrect answers it gave.  To put it another way, AI for programming at least, is currently nothing more than a fancy internet search algorithm.  

He knew EXACTLY what he was doing with that PS that started this whole conversation.  I know it was be "Space Lobsters From Vietnam in the Pacific Theater of North Africa" that will be released.

What all of those don't have that CM does is 3D WeGo with replay.  No other game seems to want to even attempt it.

This really.  We can argue til the cows come home about the best computer wargame out there, but only CM provides those three things.  I would say that makes it subjectively my favourite, but I wouldn't presume to say objectively the best.

Yup, in this case for just about 13 months.

It is a game I play to have fun, if my (or my oppo) are not having fun it is time to stop playing that scenario.

Yes of course, through slitherine.com, you input your serial there and get a slitherine copy, then request a steam key and get one automatically for steam

Ethernet cables can be up to 300 feet before needing a repeater.  Amazon has some very good ones in 100 foot length (get more than you think you need, hiding the excess is normally fairly easy but not having enough is always a pain).
I ran my cables under through an airduct down to the basement (a hole just big enough to push a cable through the side) then up through another duct so the cable is not laying on the floor.  I also used a cheap switch ($20 or so) to allow 4 devices to hook up to the switch.
At my mother's that was not an option so I used ethernet over coax since she had coax outlets near where she wanted the PC and the other one was where the cable box is.  The power line connectors also work well most of the time but when they don't work they are garbage (something to do with how the house wiring is done, I have had them work really well and really badly on different days - then switched to the coax version that works great all the time and is much faster, as fast as my internet signal)
Here is a link to the COAX connectors:   https://www.amazon.com/Actiontec-ScreenBeam-Network-Adapter-Ethernet/dp/B08ML1TSXC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=O6Z8M9ZH9M9G&keywords=ScreenBeam%2BBonded%2BMoCA%2B2.5%2BNetwork%2BAdapter%2Bfor%2BHighest%2BSpeed%2BInternet%2C%2BEthernet%2BOver%2BCoax%2B-%2BStarter%2BKit&qid=1683161563&s=electronics&sprefix=screenbeam%2Bbonded%2Bmoca%2B2.5%2Bnetwork%2Badapter%2Bfor%2Bhighest%2Bspeed%2Binternet%2C%2Bethernet%2Bover%2Bcoax%2B-%2Bstarter%2Bkit%2Celectronics%2C66&sr=1-1&th=1

The content for first gen CM is stellar.  I can live very easily with the graphics.  Its the interface that kills me after playing second gen CM.

Does that average shots before a hit is scored mean an HD tank is hit quicker than one that is not?  That is very strange.

I don't want to be bothered keeping track of mods or going through any hassle downloading and installing them.  The game(s) are great as is for me.  CM1 I did download tons of mods since they did make a big difference to me.

I play ASL (more often than CM at this point), Lock N Load Tactical, and Panzer/MBT.  As for why, I like knowing the rules of the simulation and the mental challenge of remembering and applying the rules.

Maybe 1st Battalion sh*t in them... 😛

Does no one appreciate a good Band of Brothers reference...?? 😐

Interesting. I might start out reading those in game numbers but I try to use these weapons based on my in game experience. For me that means I try to hold Shrecks to 150m and try to get them to 125m before using them if at all possible. For Bazookas I normally don't let them fire over 100m and try to get them under 90m.

Maybe my eyes are too old, but I am not able to see any difference...
