    CMH dropbox congifuration

    in Combat Mission Red Thunder

    Posted

    Help me understand something.

    I created a dropbox root folder in my CMH settings preference. Then created a shared folder within that folder for my an opponent.

    Here is a visual (Helps me anyway)

    CMH Folder (CMH Root folder)

    CMH Game folder (Shared with one opponent)

    Opponent one folder

    Opponent two folder

    Unfortunately I shared CMH Game folder with my first opponent.

    Now I can't share subfolder for opponent two, since the main folder is already shared. I mean I could share CMH Game folder with all my opponents, but then they would see all the subfolder / other opponents game folders and that might be confusing.

    I am afraid that if I change the root folder to CMH Folder, and then share sub folders...all my opponent game files will be unlinked for the opponents.

    Or can I just edit the opponent game folders in CMH under edit game? Just trying to undo the mess I made.

    Thanks

    Military Appreciation Process: Are a People Using the MAP in Combat Mission?

    I usually prefer to have a plan for bigger scenarios. Without a General plan I tend to become confused and have difficulties plotting the moves for each and every unit. My plan is often general in the way of helping me with my main thrust and might look something like this. I pixelated the map behind just so I don't spoil the battle for anyone.

    I look at my forces and create a symbol counter for each formation. I pick the venue of approach based on the map, scenario description and forces available. Each formation gets an arrow with unique color, circled areas are that formation's objectives. Some formations with S above their counter are in supporting role.

    In the screen above you can see that 9th and 167th Co are to attack first from the deployment area. They are to lead the thrust and seize 2 objectives. The 1st Tank Reg and 4th Sapper Company will support once they reach their first objective.

    Once the first objectives are secured the 7th Co will deploy and attack 2 objectives in the south with the support of 4th Sapper Co and the MG Co. If possible they will also be supported by the 1st TK Reg hence the dash line. The 8th Co Counter is placed at the bottom right with an R indicating that it is reserve and may be deployed at some crucial stage of the battle. Once the battle starts I often try to stick to the general plan as much as possible but I always let the situation and time dictate the advance.

    I recognize that map :), in the middle of it right now. Like your idea of plotting units on the map. I tend to write them down, but maybe seeing it would be better.

    I downloaded the the Official Briefing Graphics Templates from the repository for CMBN /CW. Doesn't have soviet colors but still workable.
