    Since this is called black sea

    in Combat Mission Black Sea

    I want to start by saying sorry to anyone that is offended or will be offended by my first post I did not know that the term kebab is offensive to the Turkish I'm sorry.

     

     

    That's actually a great question.

    In the CMBS scenario Turkey would be forced into a bad position as a NATO member due to their position. They're the closest NATO nation to Ukraine so obviously the US would want to use Incirlik AB along with many other Turkish airbases and military facilities. Even more of an issue for Turkey is that they control the access into the Black Sea via the Dardanelles and Bosporus Straight. Does Turkey restrict Russian merchant vessels from traversing the straights? They would almost definitely deny Russian military vessels access. All this makes me think that yes, Turkey should be in the game. I don't see a way they wouldn't be brought into this conflict.

    Also think of all the great toys! You have indigenous vehicles like the Otokar Altay, Arma, and Cobra along with stuff like the ACV-15. They also have some older US stuff like upgraded M60 Pattons (Sabra) and M113s.

    I know people are excited for the addition of the Polish forces and their mix of new and old Russian equipment. I think Turkey brings a ton of great and varied vehicles to the game and as I said above, I think bringing Turkey into the fight would be totally justified.

    I agree, I think they would bring an interesting amount of variety.

    Though I wonder if the turks have any plans of implementing a system like trophy to thier armor.

    "Is this something that could be looked at  in a patch ?  It seems silly to give the hard mission to the player that just struggled through. 

     

    I know as a very average player that I get disheartened with

    h the missions if it looks like Ive blown it. I havent finished one campaign in CM actually." 

     

     

    Me either

    So I just finished playing Black Sea and I have to say this game is merciless I thought CMSF:Nato was hard till I had to take a small town from the Russians with mechanized troops there was anti armor everywhere. Eventually I pulled my IFVs back (playing as USA) and fought from house to house twas a very fun QB lost in the end but I still enjoyed it,

     

     

     

    I am horrible at recon I realized this in CM-SF.  Alas good game Battlefront, good game

    As I saw the announcement for I was listening to the partisan song from the USSR choir and then immediately re-downloaded cm Afghanistan. I forgot how unforgiving that game was, It was not afraid of spanking you when you did bad and the mujis were relentless in CQB meh maybe its just me:confused:

    Man I feel horrible

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    I was playing a battle as Canada in the NATO module against the unconventional

    so I'm suppressing an area and I thought I had killed them. Pushed my MBT up with my infantry out a close building a stream of bullets as well as anti tank weaponry opened fire on me killing my men and disabled my tank. The losses were acceptable but still I had never screwed up like that before with the blue forces. By the end of the battle I had had lost 100 men KIA and MIA mixed together and the enemy 117 Kills and missing. my casualties for blue only ever go to 50 with blue forces well time to rethink my strategy and tactics. I'm not claiming to be good but usually I'm patient :(.

    The rising sun Module

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Does anyone hope to see the pacific front in one of the later module not just include US and Imperial force but Nationalist Chinese and ANZAC(I think that how its pronounced) The pacific was such a different fight more flames, ambushes and maneuverability would an even bigger roll the tanks were lighter and infantry warfare was more potent in a way what do you guys think plus you can mix in the Russians as well as Nationalist vs Communist scenarios.

    Getting CM-SF Licences to work

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Posted

    What security software (anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware, firewall, internet-security) are you running ? Some programs will NOT work with eLicense and have to be removed or configured in a particular manner to work properly with eLicense.

    What exactly do you have in terms of CMSF, the Paradox retail version of CMSF, the 1.21 'Paradox patch' and the NATO module ? Do you have anything else or just these ? If that is all, then the following is a close approximation of what you will need to do:

    1. Install Paradox CMSF game.

    2. Check that it runs and what version you are at.

    3. If you want the 'training campaign' you will need to download the 1.01/1.02/1.03 patches from Paradox. I can't remember which has the missing 'Yakima' campaign in it.

    4. Run CMSF after each patch to ensure that it is still running.

    5. Download the 1.10 and 1.20 patches for the Paradox distribution of CMSF.

    6. Install 1.10 and then run CMSF to make sure it has updated to 1.10.

    7. Install 1.20 and run CMSF again to make sure it has updated to 1.20.

    Now to install the 1.21 patch you will probably want to disable any of your security software temporarily, especially anything that has 'real-time protection'. Again some programs may interfere so much that they may need to be uninstalled (most security software will not need such drastic steps, but some do). Run the Battlefront programs by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator" from the popup.

    8. Install the 1.21 patch with the above instructions. Make sure that the patch is being installed into your Paradox copy of CMSF, so double-check the path when you install. Make sure that the patch also doesn't install into a 'sub-directory' of CMSF too. When you attempt to run CMSF you should get a license dialog box to activate the license key. If you're not seeing it, then you may need to 'Turn on' your DEP settings and add an exception for CMSF. Hopefully that brings up the license dialog box when you attempt to run. If not, then you may still have security software that is interfering with the program.

    Our Knowledgebase article on DEP.

    9. Assuming that you have been able to activate the license, you will need to go back to your DEP settings and add the 'Runservice.exe' file found in the '\Windows' directory. This is the eLicense service file and it will only exist after successfully activating your license key (the file is downloaded and installed silently at the conclusion of the licensing process).

    10. Launch CMSF and see if it works and if it is version 1.21. You should no longer need the CMSF CD/DVD any more since that is a copy-protection check for the Paradox distribution and you are now running the Battlefront distribution.

    11. Install the NATO module.

    12. Run CMSF and you should be prompted for the NATO module license key.

    13. Run CMSF and you should now be at version 1.30 and you should see the CMSF Stryker and NATO Leopard icon in the lower left hand corner of the main menu. Double-check that everything runs OK (NATO modules and content, etc.).

    14. Download the 1.31 and 1.32 patches.

    15. Apply the 1.31 patch and make sure to make the correct selections during the patching process (CMSF + NATO Module). If you make incorrect selections you will either be missing the NATO content and/or you will be prompted for license keys to modules you don't own (and CMSF will not launch until you provide that license key). If you do run into this error, then just reapply the patch and make the correct selections.

    16. Run CMSF and double-check that is is version 1.31 and that the NATO Leopard is still in the lower left hand corner.

    17. Install the 1.32 patch and follow the instructions for the 1.31 patch listed above.

    The big issue tends to be security software, DEP and using "Run as administrator".

    Replying back to Helpdesk tickets can also help since we do reply back and we don't know your success or failure until you reply.

    Never mind thank you for your help its working comodo was not allowing the

    E licence had to uninstall and switch to Microsoft essentials Thank you for help and support now off to play as Germany. :)
