Thanks Bill

Hiya all, I`ve had a quick search for the above but can`t find any information. I was wondering if this can be played in windowed mode? Thanks in advance.

Hiya Guys Me and a friend of mine are contemplating our first venture into a PBEM match. As we are both fairly "green" when it comes to CMBN could you please advise what would be a good balanced map to start with? Cheers Spartan

I would like to know this as well - please Cheers Rob

I`m a Newbie as well. I`ve had the game a while but only really just started to get "into" it. I think I did things the wrong way round - attempted "Courage and Fortitude" straight away, after a little dip into the demo - NOT a good idea! Then moved onto "The Scottish Highway", a little better, but again not ideal when your just starting out. After getting very frustrated at my tactical and strategic inability I left the game alone for a while. Then after reading the forums, and specifically how this Campaign was a good one to begin with, I tried again, and I have to say what a good decision that was. The fact that you only have to mainly deal with infantry, and you haven`t got allsorts going on all over the map, leading me to confusion, has helped me enormously to understand how to manoeuver, and look after my troops. I finished that campaign and am currently playing "Road to Montebourg", which seems to be a nice progression from "Devils Descent", and I`m really enjoying myself. So thanks very much to the designers - your efforts are much appreciated Cheers Rob

Thanks very much guys. I do know the Engineers can destroy a wooden and barbed wire roadblock, cos its done in one of the Armchair General videos - think its one of the Courage and Fortitude missions. Cheers Rob

Hiya Guys I was hoping you might be able to help me please. I`m playing the "Road to Montebourg" (2nd mission I think), and I am trying to get my Pioneers and Engineers to blast a way through the Steel X`s (not sure what the proper terminology is!!) road block so I can get my tanks moving down the road. But Im having no success at all. I can get them to blast through bocage and walls etc. but not these things - is it possible, or do I need to find another route for my tanks? Cheers Rob

Hiya Doug Try here - http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/ Cheers Rob

I have wondered this for quite a while also Cheers

Lol.......

I have both games, so Im quite please about that!

Agreed, very nice - I can see me utilizing the local graveyard!

LOL............

Aah ok, thankyou very much for all of your replies, much appreciated.

Hiya Guys I`m new to this game and have been reading lots of threads, and watching lots of videos whilst running through the tutorial missions. One thing I have read on a number of occassions is people saying they "selected" area fire for their tanks. Is there another option, apart form area fire, and if so what is it, and how do you select it? Cheers

There is a bundle offer already - but you have to take "delivery" of both at the same time, so you cant play CMBN until Commonwealth is released. So I just ordered CMBN.

I have just bought CMBN, and would have ordered this as well, but it wouldnt let me play CMBN now, I would have had to wait until this mod was released, and I didnt want to do that!!

Hiya When you started did you select "Multiplayer" or "New Game"? You should have selected "Multiplayer". Cheers

Jumping quite a few steps forward to the final - I think it would be interesting if the 2 finalists produced an AAR of the match(es) so we can "see" what is happening.

Lol - I wonder if thats what Marc & Bill have been doing in the current AAR?

Hiya SeaMonkey Yep, got it. Thankyou.

Hiya SeaMonkey, if you dont mind I would like clarification on these points. I`m understanding quite a bit more thanks to this thread, the manual, and obviously playing the game, but an explanation of these points would really help, if you don`t mind. Cheers

I appreciate there has been a lot of work going on recently, but I just wondered if there was a date for the latest patch release? I`m due to start a new pbem soon and dont want to start if the release is going to be relatively soon. Cheers Rob

Hiya Ivanov Thanks very much for that reply, much appreciated. Cheers Rob

Hiya Guys Happy New Year to you all, lets hope its a good one Im trying to work out how supply works, and I`m struggling with it. So I have a couple of questions if you dont mind. i) Some of my units aren`t attached to a HQ - can I attach them, and if so how? ii) I see the HQ can be given a setting of manual - what does this mean/do? iii) Are HQ`s more effective if placed in a town, so they have the advantage of moving supplies along roads, as oppose to being placed in the middle of nowhere? iv) Does the terrain (eg mountains, rivers etc.) between the HQ and the unit play a part in the supply of that unit? Thanks gentlemen. Cheers
