  1. Great news Frank, thanks very much for all your hard work and dedication
  2. I think you may be the one that is misunderstood slysniper. I think Frank has handled it admirably. He was just trying to set the record straight that what he is offering was never going to be payware. He is offering to give us all something for free that has cost him many hours of research and dedication, and you have seen fit to have a dig at him? I really don't see the need or point in your post to be honest
  3. Here's the original link where I mentioned it based on JoMacs comments. It includes Frank's and my own reply to it Cheers
  4. Hi Frank Hope this gets sorted mate. I must apologize to you also though, as I posted somewhere about your release being payware, I can't find the post at present, but when I do I will link it. This was a mistake on my part based on nothing else than 'assumption' as I took JoMacs post for fact, when it quite clearly was not. I should also say publicly that I have pm'ed Frank and registered an interest in this Battlepack some months ago, and not once has any mention of payment been discussed. I really hope Elvis reads this and reconsiders Battlefronts position, and once again I apologize if my actions may have in some way been responsible for this. Interesting to hear of your work Frank, has someone who has spent 30 years in the Fire Service, I can empathise with your need to 'switch off' to take your mind off the job. Take care mate, look after yourself, and hopefully all will be resolved soon Kindest regards Slipper
  5. Hi PT Could you possibly change the type of hedge at these locations? Would that enable them to be placed behind the hedgerow but still have LOS? Just a thought cheers mate
  6. Ah ok! Thanks, PT, I should have known you would consider this also . Thanks again mate
  7. Sounds great Paper Tiger, really looking forward to it, especially the Scottish Corridor remake. Would love to see a Goodwood, Bluecoat, Totalize campaign someday, but I digress. One thing that I find in a lot of battles is the lack of cover represented, I find this in Scottish Corridor. I suppose if you are taking map heights from contour lines then you end up with a relatively flat area in between. when in the real world there is cover in even what appears a flat field for example. It would be great if uneven ground could be included to represent this, but understand if it's out of the scope of your revamp or not possible due to map editor restrictions. anyway, thanks for all your work mate, really appreciate the amount of time, effort and research you must put into your work
  8. ok Frank, here goes!! Western Front Lorraine Campaign: September–December 1944 Operation Nordwind: January 1945 Operation Veritable: February 1945 Operation Grenade: February 1945 Operation Plunder March–May 1945 Operation Varsity March–May 1945 East Front Operation Doppelkopf Operation Solstice Operation Spring Awakening About half the operations are with the Axis attacking as you mentioned you wanted to to do Axis Thanks, Frank, take care and good luck, I will look forward to whatever you release though kind regards
  9. in the TO&E it does mention the Sherman Crab,Churchill AVRE, and Churchill Crocodile
  10. Yes, sorry Frank. My mistake it was badly worded. Accept my apologies
  11. While I can understand peoples frustration and I do think communication could be better. I do not think mud slinging by either side does any good at all. Everyone needs to take a step backwards, after all this is just a game we are talking about. If you feel angry, frustrated, bitter, or whatever, then maybe its time to take a break, play a different game, spend more time with family and friends, or something similar. Whatever you choose to do, there is absolutely no point in coming on here and complaining. There is no proof that it makes a blind bit of difference to release schedules or projects. I've been playing CM games since CM1, I have all CM2 titles and packs, I will continue to buy whatever is offered, whenever it is offered. I still have not had time to play every campaign, scenario or battle, so there is still plenty to do. Plus there are also people continuing to make great campaigns such as George MC, Dragonwyn, Paper Tiger, and Frank is soon to deliver a paid for campaign for RT. If I get fed up with some of titles due to bugs, AI or boredom, then I go and play something else, or go to the gym, have a walk. Life is to short and precious to get hang up on a computer game, surely
  12. I think for me there is an issue of too many kia vs wounded. No matter how I play there always seems to be a large percentage of kia......I don't think it makes much difference to game play, but its difficult to get 'realistic ' results
  13. It would be good if there could be more cover bonus added to all map tiles. In reality even what looks like flat terrain is rarely so, and some kind of at least basic cover can mainly be found, whether by slight undulations, dips, rises, bases of hedges, etc In game unless the map designer actually includes all of these slight differences then the terrain is considered flat and offers no cover at all. I think this impacts on the amount of heavy casualties seen in CM as a lot of time there is no cover and targets can be seen and engaged from long distance. It would be too large a task to adjust all maps. A better alternative may be to adjust all cover values up, so that even flat ground has some potential to at least partly protect your troops. Next time your out and about, take a look at what appears to be a flat field or the like, and if you can get your view close to the ground. You will find it is generally difficult to see that far due to the reasons mentioned above.
  14. Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you have a lovely time with family and loved ones xx
  15. Thanks theforger that's Christmas week taken care of Really appreciate the hours of hard work you must have put into this mate regards slipper
  16. On a different subject, I totally agree with the above, but I really think the amount of wounded versus KIA needs looking at
  17. Thank you Falaise, I will be trying these out straight away. Appreciate the time and effort put in mate
  18. Found this book, out soon. Sounds interesting. Battlegroup!: The Lessons of the Unfought Battles of the Cold War https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1914059964/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_RV9X1557RDTETSMED89E
  19. You amaze us all again Lucky Strike, incredible work mate again. I would definitely like to try it out please. Regards
  20. Blimey Lucky Strike, there is no stopping you mate! Superb work again, I can't believe the difference just one more type of tree makes to those screen shots, amazing. And the Bocage screenshots also look superb also. Couple of questions, as it is a new tree does it take up a slot from another tree or is it a completely new addition? Did you plan to look at the bush objects at all? As I remember they are pretty puny and uninspiring. Great work again, looking forward to the release. regards slippy
  21. Yes i defintley agree with yu on this point Lucky Strike, less paved and cobbles and more 'dirt' road/track
  22. This conversation may never end!
  23. Wow! Great resource Falaise, thanks very much. Very sad to see how much land is lost as time moves on though
  24. Great facts Falaise, thanks very much
