Agree, hope we will have sometimes soon a tutorial for the new AI orders introduced in 4.0 upgrade

Hi All, First, I wish you a Happy New Year for 2017. Plenty of modules and packs for this year ! I am using Gimp and not Photoshop so this is perhaps the source of my problem. I have searched on the forum and did not find the intel. I would like to create scenario briefings that looks like the one delivered native with the game. I am using the layers of the *.psd files provided but, to fill them, I would like to have the same character fonts that the one used by the game for the tactical map or for the objective points, ... Anyone could give me hints of the character fonts and sizes to use? Thanks in advance

Any Christmas / New Year bones about the incoming modules? Please BF

Was wondering if this is in the pipe or in a wish list to update the CM engine to simulate the possibility of tunnels underground? I am reading a lot about the existence of tunnels in urban fighting allowing to escape or to perform surprise attack on sectors you think is cleared. Thanks

I am really puzzled. My situation is the following. I like modern combat. I own CMSF and all modules. Now, trying the demo of both CMBN and CMBS, I am impressed by the CMx2 3.0 engine and would like to give it a go without waiting few years another CMSFv2 but waiting 4.0 engine upgrade instead. But, I do not know which one to choose: CMBN or CMBS. CMBN is now a complete game having plenty of scenarios. CMBS is expecting its first module but its content is still unclear. I am not a military but I like reading and learning about tactics. Thus, to decide my two questions will be the following: 1. What is your rough estimate of the percentage of WW2 tactics that I can reuse on nowadays battlefield? 2. Is it as easy to find an opponent on CMBS than on CMBN? Thanks for your feedback

I see this more in a module of CMFI. The "Vercors", the "Massif Central", where FFI had really to fight directly the German army, has more relief than the Normandy.

Are they any differences regarding editor between the CMBN / CMFB games? Or, do you mean that the tools were enhanced between now and the release date of CMBN allowing to make better scenarios today? Thanks

Just to be sure, could we consider that CM Battle for Normandy is finished in term of modules development and vehicle packs? Only new battle packs are planned? Thanks

This one works perfectly. Thanks a lot. And thanks for the document, very helpful.

Sorry but the above dropbox link does not work anymore. Does anyone could reupload it?

Wonderful, looking forward to this. And if UAVs could be introduced in a second time, would be perfect.

Yes, it does not exist in this version of the engine. Since there is no B plan, you have no other alternative than to win. Sounds like a plan.

Definitely agree, there is no need of a back story, real world is moving so quickly that a middle east sandbox is the better choice for CMSF2. Allowing to simulate Irak, Syria, Lybia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, Nigeria. After trying CMBS demo, I am really looking forward to a CMSF2. I do not know why but I am hooked with this one since years perhaps thanks to Combatintman excellent scenarios. May be a battle pack or a module for each recent conflict will interest plenty of people.

I see. My intent was not to cheat. In fact, these men have seen the infantry just before a bradley fires some smoke to counter a laser designation. But the way you present it, I could understand it would introduce this "God" problem in the gameplay. For the record, they did not pass anyway… Anyhow, great engine improvement, looking forward for this year's module.

Trying CMBS demo for comparing the engine with CMSF, I must say "whaouu" !!! Great improvement of the engine and I like the new Target Briefly command, great idea. One thing that is puzzling me is that during one of the mission of the demo, computer did fire some smoke and I was knowing the infantry was just behind the smoke screen coming in my direction. I was willing to order my men to area fire on the smoke or just behind but the engine prevents me to do this. I could understand that tank or missile needs laser designation to fire thus are blocked by smoke. But, why small arms firing is also blocked even the Target Light command? I see no real life reason why I could not waste my ammo across a smoke screen if I need to. Thank you

Given the release of CM Final Blitzkrieg, I am wondering if this is the end of CMBN in terms of new content. Is there any new module or vehicule/battle pack to expect? Going on the store, is it planned to have the CM Battle for Normandy BIG BUNDLE containing also the Battle Pack 1? Thank you

Oh I see, I was thinking something was written by Steve about that on the forum. This is good news indeed, hopefully coming in 2017 (ten years anniversary of CMSF if I am not mistaken)

Sorry but in which thread did you see this announcement? I fail to find it. Thank you
