Thanks for the replies, very useful information. They'll help me when setting up QB games.

Balance I can only see one thread here where QB balance is mentioned and have read the game engine manual around this topic to no avail. Does anyone have a feeling (or absolute knowledge) what the points ratios tend to be for QB games for the various battle types (Meeting, Probe, Attack and Assault)? I understand that balance is not the reality that CM is striving to present but it would be nice to have the option of a no objectives, equal force point slugathon where you get a time limit and VPs only for enemy troops destroyed. Setup options Also, how do the initial QB options and the actual map selected interact with each other for the final battle setup? On the QB setup screen you pick the various criteria you want and then are presented with a map selection screen where each map also has its own criteria (time, battle type and size). What takes priority?

Solved: I deleted the CMFI demo, downloaded the demo DMG again and reloaded it. It now works. I can only assume that my CMBN full version patched it or somehow updated the demo version as part of its install process hence causing the issue. Deleting and reinstalling CMFI Demo after the full CMBN is finished solves the issue. Thanks to all contributors here.

Nothing changed at all on my Mac. Downloaded CMFI demo on Monday, played a few demo games. Purchased CMBN on Thursday (big bundle), applied all the upgrades and patches in the right order (it works fine). Tried CMFI demo again on Friday and I got that message.

I tried the CMFI demo and on the strength of that bought and installed the complete CMBN bundle. However, when I now start CMFI demo I get the message 'Error Detected Unable to load the license for this application. Please contact your vendor for assistance." I am a MAC user and the CMFI demo and CFBN are in separate folders in the default applications folder. I would like to continue playing the 4 FI demo battles with a friend so can any help here. I don't want to affect the full CMBN installation though. Thanks
