No other rules for this battle. On small maps, in a meeting engagement (ME) I will usually ask to limit or no TRPs. On big maps like this, it won’t make much of a difference.

QB has been set up. Do you know how to search PBEM++ for the "challenge" I created? Here is the guide I used to learn... You will find it listed as "...ME vs SerG11 001" The password is..."taco" like this (wanted something simple) Are you familiar with the term "house rules" in Combat Mission? It just means rules that both players agree to before the battle. One of the most established ones, is that neither player can call in artillery on his opponent's setup area. That is just to eliminate an unfair advantage in case a player has seen the map/battle before and knows where his opponent will start. Almost every player you meet online will his specific house rules. It is important that both of you discuss those and come to an agreement.

No worries! Never be afraid to ask me to explain if I write something that you do not understand. I will be setting up the QB. Expect me to send you another message in a few minutes.

I've just spent the last 15 mins reading up on how to use PBEM++. I've got my account registered.

Hello Sergey QB sounds good. Couple questions...are you setting the it up? Or do you want me to? Counter battle...is that a meeting engagement? Are there any "house rules" you want? I have never used PBEM++ before. I have always used DropBox with an older program called Combat Mission Helper (CMH)...ever heard of it? Anyway...I can learn to use PBEM++ if that is what you prefer? If we use that, does it send me an email to locate the game you set up?

If you are going to do the setup...here is my email for the DB invite...cbennett88@gmail.com If you want me to set it up...send me your email. Chris

Let's set something up. I am okay with any size battle...either side. Would you prefer a battle or a Quick Battle (QB)? Do you want to select something? Or I can. I use Drop Box and CMH.

Did you find an opponent?

Anyone having issues with completing the installation? It starts fine, but once past the EULA, etc, I get this error... "An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file: DeleteFile failed; code 5 Access is denied" The file in question is "...User Data\ hotkeys.txt" Win 11/64 No mods Although the download text file says that admin level permissions are NOT required...I did try that after several failed attempts the normal way. No change...

Combat Mission Black Sea v2.18 patch is now available
cbennett88 replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
No mods. Just straight installation from the Battlefront website. Same with patches. Not using STEAM. The first time I tried to install v2.18 I got an error msg that it could not find v217.brz. After contacting Battlefront tech support they suggested a different program to unzip the file. When I used that, I did not get any error msg. Somehow the issue seems to be with that file. I checked that it matches the file size that Kevin2K listed on his computer. I would do a whole new installation, but I am trying to finish a PBEM before possibly messing things up further... -

I had actually given you credit for establishing such thorough 360 degree security! Lol -

Sorry…the other files were there too. I just listed the “210 set” because they seemed relevant to the v217 -

Not sure? I re-installed the 2.18 patch successfully using advice from Battlefront's tech support. It didn't give any error message. -

No mods whatsoever. Went from 2.16 to 2.18 and started noticing the strange text. -
Combat Mission Black Sea v2.18 patch is now available
cbennett88 replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
Has anyone else noted that the unit game data seems "corrupted" since updating to 2.18? I am getting weird ammo lists and other info in the game's bottom display panel. I've included some pictures. For example...it looks like the 300 winchester ammo from the US sniper rifles now shows in my Russian 82mm mortars! My 2S1 122mm arty also now lists some type of unknown ammo? My tank crew have weird job titles. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xlmppayk5b379yg/AAANfmBtd_Vp79TWHi5w5mCIa?dl=0 -
Combat Mission Black Sea v2.18 patch is now available
cbennett88 replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
Tried installing the latest patch v2.18 and the process fails with a... "C:Users\Christopher\AppData\Local\7zOC\*.brz does not exist" Any ideas on what this file is? I have all previous updates & patches. No mods. Game runs fine. Appreciate anyone's help... -
Any map modders have a moment to help?
cbennett88 replied to cbennett88's topic in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips
Yes...in my search through the forums I had found where you had explained all this to someone earlier. So I tried both, but no success. I changed all the objectives to "occupy"...but the label still says "Exit1 or Exit 2" b/c I felt it went better with the attacker's mission briefing. And...I changed all the points to conform with the 1000 pts split as listed by someone in another post. Something like 650/350 terrain vs casualties for attacks, etc. I appreciate your all your advice! And...I will take it and contact @benpark to see if he has any further ideas... -

I have been combing various websites devoted to Combat Mission for answers... No luck. Everyone is usually talking about problems with QB's with AI units for solo play. -
