  1. A similar newcomer to the system , a kind of at least, I'll get you a game vis dropbox - I am already playing two smaller scenarios off CMBS - provided the guy who had written me before here doesn't respond or even if he deos, I happen to have a few ides or actually a few stock scenarios that I find particularly interesting, inspiring and challenging. Any preference towards the side? The turn rate a turn or two per day on average is perfectly acceptable to me.
  2. Hi all. So I have just bought all of the remaining CMX1 and X2 titles and as a long -time MG nut I'd like to start with finding someone to command the krauts in the Netherlands against my Allied paras and the XXXth Corps. However open to virtually all suggestion, I have a decent interest in either theater and possible setup. Stock scenarios preferred first, but again - quite open to alterations etc.
  3. I have just sent you a message here with Dropbox invitation link. Check that one out.
  4. Same same here.I am kind of new to the system still and very glad at the prospect, I'll be back with you shortly - later in the day to discuss some ideas. Just wait one. Thanks for the reply.
  5. CMBS and CMSF with all of the addons have just been installed , updated to the latest versions available so I am looking for an opponent - either side in virtually any scenario should be fine with me, elite, PBEM via mail or Dropbox, a turn per day at least guaranteed HTH is someone is insisting should be feasible. Elite level, open to honour rules like no arty barrages on 1st turn.
  6. Kind of doubling this post which I am a bit sorry for if that is against the rules here. I have posted at the CM: A forums, too. Drop me a line if interested. Aw, by the way that offer regards CM: Afghanistan obviously before I buy other modern title - actually the complete addon bundle for CM:SF and CN:BS I think.
  7. Hi there fellow war gamers I have been playing the game extensively lately to learn the ropes and I wonder if there is anyone here willing to push his luck against my internationalist help for the DRA. I have had CM:SF since it was issued by Paradox, but have never gotten to that very much before. Played a little CMX1 before, but have never tried my skills against human opponents. Long time PBEM war gamer of other titles thought so you can count on some resilience at least. Also a long time self-appointed student of theis largely forgotten and obscure conflict.
  8. Thank you very much gentlemen. So the situation evolved like this - today in the morning I got enlightened with remembrance how I made my Command: Modern Air and Naval Operation worked again by installing the newest patch over the olde one which apparently made it unplayable for a few past months. So I dug up the BF sites for patches 1.31 and 1.32 and installed them over the lat BF version 1.21 which turned my old unplayable Paradox version 1.10 into a new BF version 1.21 - albeit still unplayable. Whoa Mohammad!!! It worked! I can play missions / battles, play campaigns - at least load them just like the save files. Dunno about the rest, but when I try to access either qucik battles or optuions the game beutifully crashes the old style. That makes me kind of puzzled and experiencing extremely mixed feelings - there is a definite progress towards the right way, but with a solid addition of friction and disruption. Maybe the drivers? Or my COMODO antivirus? I read at the forums that it was completely removed by a fellow player to make CS SF work finally which it did. Aw, I added the exceptions to DEP - both CM .exe and runswervice.exe from Windows directory, I start with right clicking the icon and using the administrator privileges or straight from the main game directory , but stil with right clicking. Is there anything I still could try to eliminate those crashes and be able to finely tune my game? Didn't try onnecting the network game or editor though, but thoseare the things I care for the least so far.
  9. Overlooked? I have been studying the Soviet - Afghan War for over ten years now and couldn't have found anything decent in terms of PC games of any sort to cover that. I even came across that game myself some three years ago and decided it's not worth much, but perhaps that was its early stage and definitely not version 1.03. Now I am almost constantly at my PC, training and learning the ropes with quick battles and training missions before embarking on campaigns and getting deployed to the DRA in battles. I have just been practising with calling the arty support and was amazed to see the airburst munitions delivered and Hinds attacking in criss-crossing patterns and just the way they did in Afghanistan. I was made to know better while some of their rounds went over the ridge and hit near the area where motorized infantry were in a hurry embarking their bronegruppa. Then minutes before departing the AO and finishing the mission an enemy RPG hit one of the vehicles and destroyed that, killing one trooper and shaking the other ones. That has to be Afghanistan.
  10. Alright, one dollar license patch worked miracles for me in the scope that the game gets launched and I get the interface for version 1.21 BF. However, each time I try to load a scenario, battle or campaign the loading process stops at exactly 93% and the game freezes, t6hen when I invoke the system amanger to kill the process it crashes to desktop. I have added to exception to the DEP, rebooted and it didn't yield any results. To my best knowlege the OP keeps blocking files and / or processes; that could also be my AV software, but I am not sure, don't have any problems with CMA or any of the demos. Perhaps I should have installed the game to the root directory on C drive. Now it's on D .. Dunno. Any other ideas? The OP says the graphic drivers are up to date. I am running Win7 Home Premium SP1 64 Bit Intel Pentium D CPU 3.0 GHz RAM 8 GB NVidia GeForce GT 630. One more thing: when trying to reinstall to another directory on the same machine - do I need to unlicense the first and then install the license again?
  11. Yes, but thatnk you nevertheless. I was only kind of thinking whether that would get the jib done for me if there is no original .exe file in the vanilla installation of the game. But know I think it's only one buck, not much money to waste to find out - I just don't like making efforts in vain should they turn out to be so. I am also assuming that I may not be able to play the original content of SF even if the modules would work. I'll try that one dollar method first I think.
  12. Several years ago I bought the Paradox version of the game released on a CD as a franchise I believe - it was publihed in Poland buy one of the companies here. The case is I got myself CM Afghanistan and have become completely hooked, downloaded and installed the demos and am getting more and more inclined to buy CNBS and CMBN + MG ( that's my main interest here .. ), but USMC, UK and NATO bundle is aready a must and it's only a matter of time when I am buying that ... Well, not exactly ... The above - mentioned Paradox version of the game is supposed to work well for the aforementioned addon modules, but so far I cannot get to install that at all on my Win7 - it used to install and work on my XP OP without any problem, I just didn''t get to that at all then. The disc is unscathed, I run the installer with admin privileges, but at the end there's always that pop-up error message: BIN / CM Shock Force.exe cannot be run, I am prompted either to abort or RTD which I do and the game is installed, but without any .exe file in its main directory to run that with. It doesn't work then. I have patched it up with the patch from BF website which is dedicated for the Paradox version of the game - 1.10 for the very beginning.. I have the .exe then, I run the game and get the message that the wromg disc is inserted - RTD then. No wonder, there was on original .exe so that that poor software may fend for itself to be recognized as a legitimate one. Please advise. I have attached the screen of the way my main game directory looks like after 1.10 patch if that makes sense at all.
  13. Considering buying all of those above ASAP provided I can find some human opponents - not keen on fighting the AI after years of wargaming in the PBEM mode. An avid student of both WWI and the WWII Pacific basin struggle. Mail me if you feel like at marcinstrozny at gmail dot com.
  14. Hi there I am new to the forum and only considering buying SC WWI + Breakthrough this week along with SC WWII Pacific Theatre - a long time wargamer though with years of wargaming under my belt - but due to my hardcore approach I stopped playing against the AI and have stuck to human opponents and it all depends whether I may find consistent, dedicated an trustworthy opponents. At the same time an avid student of WWI for over two years now and of the war in the Pacific basin even longer than that, can play any side with maximally realistic options on like realistic weather effects etc. in virtually any scenario.
