Several bouts of repair permissions, several session with Onyx to clean, and one run through of repair disk did nothing to fix things, but now the OS X update has magically made things work, so it looks like they did fix a bunch of permission problems. Oddly, this was the only program I had any problems with. Whatever it was it happened to touch something that needed fixing by Apple. Anyway, happily blowing things up now :-)

My MacBook Pro was not running Commonwealth Forces. I could license it but it refused to start up, despite troubleshooting by the crew at Battlefront. Today, there was a Mac OS X Lion update to 10.7.4 and glory be, I started up CW to see if it made a difference and it works perfectly. Maybe it was only me and there was something flaky about my new laptop (hard to believe since it's only a few months old) if there is anyone else out there with a Mac that refuses to handle CW you may have better luck after the system update.

Former Airborne Field Artillery here. I can't imagine driving around in a vehicle just waiting to get hit by something. My roommate went Armor though and couldn't imagine doing anything else :-) To each their own.

There is a book "All American, All the Way" (author's name is Nordyke). Covers all of the 82d during WW2 but has a section on Market Garden. Good book (note however that I'm biased - I was in the 82d Abn Division Artillery in my younger days :-) )

For bringing Combat Mission back to the Mac. I played many many our of CMBO and finally had to give up when it was no longer playable on newer Macs. The other titles were too much for earlier versions of Parallels Desktop so no chance of running the Windows versions on the Mac. Now, though - no need as CMBN looks beautiful and runs like a dream on my new MacBook Pro. Just wanted to pass along a word of thanks from a very satisfied customer. Dave
