    I'm confused.  If the Pershing was in CMBO, we have been able to use it for 22 years with the Pershing.  CMSF1 has been out 15 years.  CMBN has only been out 12 years.

    @Thewood1 . . . you've highlighted the fact that my memory is not 5 by 5.  

    As a MacOS guy, running CMBO became more difficult after the switch to Intel but even that still isn't quite 20 years.

    Sharefile links never connect?

    in CM2 General Tech Support

    Posted

    Ahoy,

    I have something like 19 orders on the BF website going back to 2011.  When I get a new computer I've always been able to re-download via the battlefront.sharefile.com XXX links provided and still shown on my orders.

    However for the past week I've been unable to get any BG sharefile links to get past the "rotating 4 section circle" animation?  No link I try ever connects?

    Is there a new way to access the game downloads?  Or are there technical issues?  I have downloaded before on this Mac M1 laptop with this browser & settings.

    Thanks all,

    Quick battle problem

    9 years later . . . does this have a fix (under newest v2.11)?  Picking Allied attacker on "attack" QB map that ships with game results in defending axis all clumped at back edge / corner?  You set everything up, meticulously proceed turn by turn across the map without resistance, and an hour later you realize defender setup is, well, not setup at all?

    If you don't want to 'spoil' scenarios by playing them while still not up on the equipment try playing a few quick battles first. Just to see how fast an M60A1 travels cross country, how reliable Dragon missiles are, and how good Russian T64s are at spotting.

    ... and I'm sure @Hapless has a few video exposés under way already? [crosses fingers] 😉

    The original working title.

     

    Although, if you're installed properly you shouldn't be getting that.

    I'm on MacOS Big Sur and when you run the "activate" script (which seems to be badly bugged graphically but does work) you get a purple box that says "Total Destruction".

    I posted this to the FI Beta forum. The OP is correct on all 3 catches and it's been reported (there is a application for entry of bug reports).

    And yes, I believe the reason Brummbär Game was changed from its original form - Elephant Game - is exactly that - the availability of the Elephant and the date of the scenario.

    I don't know if there is a spreadsheet as you suggest. There may be. A couple of people did most of the TO&E work.

    Thanks for the efforts, @Ultradave.  They sent what, 11 Elephants to the whole theatre for one beachhead battle?  We are here for the CM accurate portrayal and realism - even if folks like me try to turn QB's into some kind of "world of tanks" "Kursk of the south" under the Italian sun!

    Cherry picking specific vehicles in non-historic QB's is all part of the BF CM fun.  Do we know if there is a list of TO&E vehicles and dates available?  Trying to "find" the right date to get a German 'Elefant' in a QB is painful.  There's got to be a spreadsheet somewhere, yah? 

    Actually, RTFM! But the *right* manual.  GL manual states for Elefant "Available beginning... February 1944".  Hmmm, 🤔this requires more testing but I'm not sure this is true in QB?

    EDIT - update:  Yes, for QB's the Elefant is "available beginning Feb 1944" but only through June 1944.

    A lot of the bug testing to death was to get the TO&E to work. It's *possible* you may need to play around a lot with dates on QB setups to get the vehicles you want, because a lot of work went into not only having all the correct formations and vehicles, but also the dates that they would be available.

    Playing around with some QB setups I don't see the "latest" versions either. Yet.
