  1. I had the same issue as Rocketman. When starting the game it does not require a password on turn 1. The password request is turn 3.
  2. I have created a number of scenarios and will tell you this. Creating a scenario that is balanced against the AI is very lopsided to favor the AI side if you are trying to play it H2H. There is no way to properly program the AI to react to all the strategies that a human player can use. So I generally stick to creating H2H games. I also enjoy playing H2H games the most.
  3. Found it. I was trying to "add a game' and not "install a game"
  4. Trying to get a PBEM game going and Helper doesn't recognize CW. Tried manually adding it to no avail. Any thoughts?
  5. Ok, sounds like I never caught it before or a unit had passed through the objective and none of the enemy ever did. Thanks!
  6. Had an interesting thing happen on a scenario we are play testing. The Germans own an area with a stream snaking through it. There are 3 concrete bridges crossing the river at different locations. Each bridge is in a set up area for the Germans. The Allies have to take the bridges. Only the bridge hexes and the hex on either side are objectives. First play through and the Allies manage to clear the area around one bridge and put a scout on it. Game ends and the German gets no credit for the other 2 bridges. So the question, even if an objective is in the set up area does the player still need to put a unit on it to "occupy." I've never seen this happen before and wonder if I had simply missed it all these years or what.
  7. I like using CAS but not anywhere near my troops. It's great for hitting villages and farm compounds. Plus the occasional Arty position. The other thing it does is spot any AA gun emplacements when they open fire.
  8. Well, Being the commander of the Stuart I am very happy with this outcome. Unfortunately, a 75mm AT gun took out the Stuart a couple turne later!
  9. We have the .h2hh files in the folder. One says he made it 7 minutes after my last one. But it is empty
  10. There is a chat in the dropbox folder that says he made it 7 minutes after mine. But when he tries to chat he can't get anything to take. We have deleted and reinstalled CM Helper and even restarted the game. No help
  11. Playing a game using CM Helper. Never really had an issue with it before. But suddenly my opponent can no longer use chat. He can see mine, but can not enter any from his side. We tried deleting the AppState.txt file, but that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?
  12. @Chibot Mk IX; I'm up for that. Never played that scenario. Send me a PM if your interested
  13. Oops.Looked at it and I have played that scenario. But I'm still open to it or any other you want. I usually play CMFI, CMBN or CMFB, Let me know and send a PM
  14. I'm up for a game if you're still looking. How about CMFI GL The Winter of our Discontent. I've never played that scenario Dan P
  15. OK, this is more of a gripe then anything else. Have you noticed that giving a vehicle move orders where there might be something impassable in the area, like a building etc, the vehicle will go around to maintain its path. But if there is a vineyard in the way the vehicle tries to drive right through it? This happens all the time. Other then micromanaging the movement of the vehicle there is no way to stop this behavior. I've had a tanks, second or third in line, using short waypoints to get past a vineyard, decide to go around the tank in front of it by driving through the vineyard. I'm wondering why the vehicle knows not to try to drive through a building, but thinks it's ok to drive through a vineyard? Any thoughts?
  16. I have had a bazooka team run through/past an PzIV on a bridge that was firing at another infantry unit. Then they turned and ran back across the bridge because they took fire from a MG. Never did they see the tank. However, the tank saw them and shot them all in the back. Currently I am playing a game where I had a good number of ATG and StuG's facing the route the Canadian Sherman's would be traveling down. They all had clear LOS/LOF down the road and into the first couple of rows of an orchard. They listened to the Sherman's approach and did not fire a single shot. They never saw any of the tanks. Looking down the barrel of each one I could clearly see the approaching enemy. And I could target the road the tanks were on, but the ATG/StuG's didn't see or fire. Instead they all sat there and were taken out by multiple tank shots. All were either veteran or crack units. And before all the folks on the forum who have no capacity to see a that there is actually an occasional issue with LOS in these games, or who do nothing but find a nebulous justification for it to happen, I want to say that it can make the game unplayable. Most of us play these game for enjoyment. Being constantly frustrated because of things like this is not enjoyable. Don't get me wrong. I love the games and I love creating scenarios. I just think this is an area that needs to be looked at. It may take a slight modification to the coding, but it can be fixed. I would rather have LOS be too easy then ridiculously off as we have all seen.
  17. @mirelm61, Thanks! You don't need to go into major detail on the play test if you don't want to. I just need to see if you think it was fun to play, fairly balanced and anything else you notice. Can you send me your email? I'm at dsp1295@gmail.com Thanks again
  18. @Falaise, I have created a lot of scenarios over the years, but only 2 had an AI. FUBAR Village and DiSarrano took a long time for me to test and test again. This time I have played against the AI a couple of times, but it's hard to properly test a game if you know where everything is! Hopefully someone will want to try for me.
  19. So here I am sitting in the house with nothing to do because of the "stay home" edict from my governor... The restaurants are closed, the movie theater is closed and it's raining outside. So what to do?? How about finally create a medium sized scenario around one of the 1st Canadian Division battles moving towards Ortona on the Adriatic coast? The area know as The Gully. It's early December 1943 and the Canadians are trying to move north up the Adriatic coast. They have taken Campobasso in the mountains and are moving east. The Gully is a natural defense running east/west for miles. In places there is over 150 meter difference between to top and the bottom. The Germans have heavily reinforced it and have been able to stop repeated attacks. On top of that the weather has been wet and rainy. On Dec 13th Princes Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry managed to get across a narrow portion of the Gully and take the Orsonga-Ortona road. However, they were stopped in their tracks as they tried to advance. Ahead of them lay the small village of San Martino with Casa Beradi just behind. Casa Beradi was on a small piece of land that jutted into the gully and gave the Germans clear LOS/LOF to the south, east and west. It had to be taken. By the night of the 13th of December both the PPCLI and the Seaforth Highlanders had been badly mauled by the German 90th Panzergrenadiers occupying the area. It was decided to have the 22nd Regiment, supported by the Ontario Tanks, pass through the lines and attack the village. C and D company, with C Squadron supporting, would have that honor. Unfortunately for them, The Germans also moved out the battle weary 90th and replaced them with a fresh company from the 1st Fallschrimjager. As so the battle began.... I have created a scenario which covers the battle for San Martino and Casa Beradi. It has not been fully tested in the Allies v AI mode. I'm looking for anyone who would like to try the scenario and give me feedback concerning it's playability and the quality of the AI. I have rarely created an AI scenario as I usually prefer H2H. So I could really use some input. If your interested let me know and I'll send the scenario. Thanks, LiveNoMore
  20. General McNair was in charge of tank development for the US in WW2. He was an Artillery man who thought tanks should support infantry, not engage the German tanks in battle. His plan was to have the M10, in mass, just behind the front lines. They would handle any German tanks that broke through. When the tankers and their commanders started to complain that they were getting wiped out by the German tanks and that the 75mm just bounced off, General McNair responded by telling them that mass tanks would do the trick. He would not allow the addition of the 17lb (76mm) British gun to be installed. (The British installed the 26lb gun on their own and produced the Firefly.) McNair used all sorts of excuses to delay upgrades to the Sherman. Delayed production, the 90mm gun was too heavy, more armor was too heavy, the tanks would be too heavy to ship, etc. It wasn't until late in the war that McNair finally relented and allowed the M4 to be built, along with it's variants.
  21. I've been trying to get into TSD and keep getting this error message; Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at admin@thefewgoodmen.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Am I the only one?
  22. This is a remake of one of my first scenarios, Campobasso. I made that in CMBN but tried to make it look like Italy. The castle needs to stand up to 75mm and such for a bit. I have a photo of a castle in Germany (Castle Itter) which shows damage done by German 76mm and 88mm ATG. It held up fairly well, though there are a few holes in it! Now that we have R2V I am doing an entire rebuild. So far I have the map created with elevations, roads, RR tracks and RR station, medieval town, castle and new town. Now filling in the rest of the map. Then on to locating the actual units in the area and deciding what I want in the game. I know the Allies were part of the 1st Canadian Division. The Germans were from 76th Corps, and included 1st Fallschirmjager. Hope to do some play testing by the beginning of March. Initially it will be H2H only.
