I wish the campaigns were sorted according to their difficulty. I wonder how many beginners tried Courage and fortitude as their first campaign and then quit after thinking the game is broken. Usually only a very small percentage ever sets foot on the forums and actually asks for help like this.

Well, yes, it 'works.' Bit doesn't perfectly 'fit' the new layout anymore. That, to me as a modder, is enough to not include them in this release. Creating them all again is a heap of work I wasn't planning on repeating. Sorry.
I tried both with and without the old skinpack, and it fits good enough for me at least, and probably good enough for the guy missing his camo skin as well. I totally understand the creator wanting his creation to be absolutely perfect however. Also you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about, so stop saying it. Thanks for this great mod.

I'm still using my rusty metal skinpack for v3 and it seems to work just fine with v4 so I don't see why the camo version shouldn't work. Or is there something I'm missing here?

Fund a mental institution today! (see what I did there?)
Back to OT again: If you're in need of lessons in tactics I can highly recommend watching the entirety of this video series here:
I can also recommend reading up on the tactical toolbox on Bil Hardenberger's excellent website. It can be found here.
Since the game is designed to represent real warfare as close as possible, real tactics apply. Just get over that initial hump and you'll have a game that rewards you in spades for the time you put into learning it.
Cheers!

Also remember that you can make the game both look and sound a LOT better by modding it. Most of us have a mod folder of a couple of gigs. Welcome to Combat Mission. Hope you'll enjoy your stay.

Is there a reason for Aris StuH mid not working properly? Early works fine, but mid only gets its chassis modded. The skirts are the default clean ones that look nothing like in the modded skirts bmp file.

My sound mod of choice. Awesome job mate.

Simply brilliant, as expected from you. Looking forward to release!

Sometimes getting to the objective zone first isn't what you want, a.k.a ongoing 120mm mortar barrage.

Afaik if you both have the same version (2.12 being the newest) you can play your friends. You just can't use the forces that come with the CW and MG modules.

Imagine the horror of being a russian conscript stuck in the woods and getting flanked by M31 Suomi-toting finns on skis.
Or even worse, bear cavalry!

(does that classify as CM porn?)
Yes. Yes it does.

How do you guys take your screenshots? Print screen key used to work for me but doesn't anymore. It just gives me a black screen when I paste it in my photo editor.

Hey guys, have any of you noticed that this thread is now eight pages long, and the OP (skellhell) has not responded one single time? I think he should receive some sort of award for the longest thread with the least effort.
Yeah I noticed.
At least when/if the guy comes back and finds his modest little post turned into a mutated monster of a thread he'll know the community is still pretty active, if nothing else.

There's nothing worse than zoologically inaccurate sound mods! You should be ashamed of yourself you silly dane!

It may not be perfect, but there's still nothing else that I'm aware of with equal or better fidelity than CM. Achtung Panzer isn't bad, but the infantry part is really simplified and kind of silly. Close Combat is also very simplified. I don't know about Wargame since I haven't played it but from what I've seen it also seems to be more simple in nature. If these games are the wide brush that you use to paint a wall with, then CM is the smaller brush used for more delicate work. Nothing wrong with either of them, just used for different things. I just haven't been able to find another strategy game with the same amount of detail and fidelity as CM. Same reason why I fly in DCS over War Thunder. They're both good games, but I prefer the detail of the former.
Battlefront may not be perfect either, but who is? At least they actually communicate with us and implement features we suggest if they're valid. I'm not exactly spoiled with that sort of thing.
(All of the above are my personal opinions and should not be interpreted as anything else.)

There's nothing wrong with the reloading and bolt cranking sounds themselves. They sound great. The problem I have with them is that in a fight they'll be almost as loud (and as frequent) as the shots themselves and I can hear them when zoomed out. If they were very silent and could only be heard when zoomed in up close and personal then that would be a different matter entirely, but it's not possible as far as I know for a sound modder to make that happen since it would have to be something coded into the engine itself.
Thanks once again waclaw.

Lovely. Another keeper.

Thanks alot! You're very kind, but you really don't have to release it as soon as tomorrow. I'm not in that much of a hurry.
What specifically do you mean with "shells"? Tank shells making noise when hitting the floor of the tank? Tank reloading noise? Those aren't quite as annoying to me since tanks have a much slower reload time than a rifle and there's also usually alot fewer tanks than bolt action rifles, so you don't have to, but if there's no trouble then sure, please do. And thanks again for accommodating my personal wishes when you really didn't have to.

This is a very good sound mod, but do you think it would be possible to release a second version with no bolt action sound for the corresponding rifles? This has been kind of a pet peeve of mine since Close Combat 5 and modders that for some reason just love adding that cranking sound after the actual shot. In my opinion it just sounds horrible in a fire fight with all the bolt cranking spam and you shouldn't really be able to hear it over all the gunfire anyway, which kinda breaks my immersion as well as being annoying. I can't be the only one who just can't stand this, or can I? I'm pretty limited in the sound mods I can get because of this. I guess I could edit the sounds myself to cut the bolt cranking out, but that would cut out the echo of the actual shot as well, and wouldn't sound very good as a result.

We also like christmas sales. *hint hint*

Thanks to all for making a great game even greater. Special thanks to Aris for his dedication. My mod folder is shock full of his mods.

Personally I wouldn't take Enemy at the gates as a realistic depiction of any kind, but maybe that's just me.

ARMA? XCOM?! I care not of these strange things! I need my Combat mission fix gosh darnit and if I....oh wait, the lady in the house wants to say something to me...
Ow...
Oh ok... I'm so sorry mr... Ithikial. It would seem I get easily riled up for no reason, but it's CM vids you know and they're all so god damn beautiful and lovely and I want them so much I could smell them and... NO....err, sorry about that. Calm, so very calm.
There's a serious lack of CM vids on the tubes lately however, so, you know. Get on that asap.
Seriously though, take your time and make them full of awesome.

4 pages and not a single word on what these mods actually do? I tried searching but came up empty.
