Now I have DL'ed the files in order to try out the mods. It seems however that there are a lot of different files in the .zip file. Scenarios and stuff. The most are placed in the ( for FI ) zzzCMFI folder. So... and sorry for this newbie question: which files to put where ? - I guess I have to make a folder named Z, same place as folders Scenarios, mastermaps etc are placed (?) but I am at a loss which files from the download to put in the Z-folder. Best regards Morten

@BornGinger Good advice - I'll risk it when I get a little further down the line in designing. I will not feature it as anything but a HtH scenario - yet - at least. I am hesitent to venture into the scripts aspects and also I feel that some HTH only scenarios is needed. I play HtH 98% of the time and having a hard time to find some good games to be played that way. best regards Morten

@Combatintman Thank you - some interesting reads - it's not easy to make everybody happy, it seems. So I think I'll make a breifing in the style I would like to read myself. And have one or two more read it - in case something obvious is forgotten or very unclear. @chuckdyke Thank you for the YT video and the interesting link.

@domfluff Thank you for the good advice - and I like maps with arrows and positions on as much as the next guy @Sgt.Squarehead That's great inspiration right there - Thank you. Best regards Morten

@BornGinger Thank you To all: Now - next problem - how to make tactical map usefull to the players? As I am not being at graphic wizard. Or should I just go by text, descriping the situation? Your thoughts are highly valued. And BTW does the equivalent of the old "provingground" still exist somewhere. The place you could get you scenario wetted with some kind (mostly) advice? Best Regards Morten

Thank you BornGinger - that fixed it. Sometimes simple solutions is the way to go Best Regards Morten

Hi I am in the proces of making my first scenario to CM in this version. I did make scenarios earlier for ASL and the earlier CM-version. I DL'ed the Official-Briefing-Graphics-Templates-CMFI_3 and I am learning Gimp as I go. But I am having trouble with the briefing graphics. In particular with the operations map - the file IS 702x224 PX but it still looks like this. ( see attached) I have tried to make the picture wider - no luck. I still get the discolored part to the left. Best regards Morten Copenhagen - Denmark

Thank you Erwin for clearing that up! And Sgt Joch: as I read the manual now I see it says "infantry". And I understand that reloading of heavy ammo IS time-consuming. Also, BTW, taking 7.92 out of belts and putting the cartridges into another carrier (or vice versa) is done but take time, I have done that IRL. Thank you all for answers and a lifely discussion! Best regards Morten

Thank you Chuckdyke Oh the MGs worked and was working hard, that's why they ran out og ammo /Morten

Situation: (In a RT scenario, but I don't think that is relevant) Immobilized tank with main gun disabled. The tank has used all MG ammo. I get a ammo truck up next to the tank, and dismount the crew, and moves the crew onto the truck to accuire all the 7.92 ammo, and moved the crew back into the tank. The tank, however, still shows that the MG's are out of ammo - but the rounds are on board the tank. As can be seen on the screenshot. How come that the ammo can't be ( is not) used by the MG's on the tank? Thanks in advance for any answers. Best regards Morten Copenhagen

Hi everyboby I have no more "slots" for the time being. Thank you for reading and applying Best regards Morten

Hi Let me introduce myself: I have been playing wargames since the early 80´s. Avalon Hill games ( and of course a lot of SL and mainly ASL( I even made historical module - when it finaly was printed 20 years later, it did not get great reviews : https://www.desperationmorale.com/products/westerplatte-case-white-1939/ ) After finding CM, that took over gradually - and I have given away all my board games ( I still miss them as reference some times). - Anyways I have a proud record of loosing about 66 to 75 percent of all games in those 40 years - I do tend to roleplay and like my troops to much. But I never will stop learning. I can't promise a turn a day - depends on the work, family and general situation we all are in at the moment. So: 1)I have all CM WW2 games and all updates/DLC's. 2)I play any side - but have played mainly German in CM. 3)I will not play scenarios I have played before - unless specifically agreed. 4) Midsized to large (not huge) games perferred 5) In case of playing a QB I like to keep buying at least within some kind of historical probability. Also I like to know who I am playing so be prepared to hear about me, as I like to hear who my adversary is. At least as some kind of indtroduction. Please drop me a mail/ PM if you feel like taking on a new opponent. Best Regards Morten Lundsteen Copenhagen - Denmark

Ok - Thank you - I try calling him best regards Morten

Hi I have received turn XXX005 in a FI PBEM game. Opponent and I have all modules - all updates instaled. I make my turn but the game crashes to desktop when trying to save the XXX006 turn - game crashes during the progress bar.. I did restart the PC, I tried saving without giving any orders, I tried to rename the file name as it contained a Danish letter "ø" - still it crashed. In the same sitting today, I saved just before this one - without problems - an other FI PBEM turn. Any suggestions? Best Regards Morten Copenhagen - Denmark

Thank you all for the replies - I have all available slots filled now Best regards Morten Lundsteen Copenhagen - Denmark

Thank You C3K I think I found the solution I simply used the mentioned files for each game and all Into menus states that It's running "Game engine 4" so I think all is good. As to your suggestion - Thank you - I have carefully saved all keys on a TXT file placed in a save place in the cloud. Best regards Morten

Hi all I had a PC crash and need to re-install CMBN, CMFI, CMRT and CMFB with all expansions. From the thread above I understand I only need to DL the Upgrade 4 (and all keys) for all games, but when accessing the files under my account I see two Windows Files - I am correct in assuming that both IS needed. Please see screenie attached regarding FI - I Need both the marked - and shall install the " 2 full" first and then the "Upgrade 4"? Thank all in advance. Best regards Morten Lundsteen Denmark

Thanks akd

Hi I found I placed a armo dump too far to the front, due to the fact that the icon pictures an infantry siluete - but it on the map it show as crates. Is there any way to put the crates on, say, a empty halftrack? best regards Morten Copenhagen, Denmark

Hi, I just upgraded to engine 4 - and after loading a saves pbem game ( also upgraded) I noticed a panser with the warning "laser warning" ? I would think it a wee bit too early for RT's timeframe? I do not own any of the "modern" CM's, only those set in WW II. As far as I could see, it happened when the panser was hit, with no ill effects. Some kind of glitch? best regards Morten Copenhagen, Denmark.
