  1. @37mm a quick question. How do I remove the 'foliage' from the vehicles in your mod pack. I absolutely love your 'all in one's' (I have installed them for every CM series) but I would prefer not to have 'bushes' on my Panthers and Sdkfz 251s. Which folder do I need to amend/remove please

  3. @Vacillator, you are 100% correct as to why I chose to fight as the Germans. We all know that the AI does a pretty poor job at attacking. When I'm playing solo I always pick the attacking side, to make the game a little more balanced. Stir into that mix the fact that I play all my solo games using the HardCat rules, and you have a tough fight on your hands vs the AI. I will be putting Part 3 together soon, and the defending US are starting to fight back, and fight back hard! Drew
  4. Yeh, I'm not very active on this group, sorry. But I have been playing CM since it first landed, and the prequel CM1 when that was first released too. I genuinely think this is the best game out there for the genre But I'm still beaten regularly by Humans and the AI
  5. Old, maybe? (59) Pro, probably not, but I try my best

  8. https://youtu.be/PZFJr9S8_As A Combat Mission Fortress Italy story, using Bil Hardenberger's and A Canadian Cat's excellent C2 Hard Cat Rules v2I. This is the concluding part of the story. Please make sure that you pause the video at the very end, to read my comments. Feedback, as always, is most welcome. Bear in mind that I didn't know how this quick game was going to play out! For my next attempt, I will play a stock scenario, which will force a definite result, one way or the other
  9. Hi @IanL Yes, I'm sort of back. I am easing myself back in gradually. Unfortunately I lost my CMRT pbem game files (but BF did manage to resurrect the actual game for me, which was great), so we can't carry on with Snow For The Hungry, but we can certainly get cracking with our SF2 game, if you are ok to carry on?
  10. I never knew that! I wondered why the name.....and now it makes sense!
  11. https://youtu.be/OnxHgyMMD90 A Combat Mission Fortress Italy story, using Bil Hardenberger's and A Canadian Cat's excellent C2 Hard Cat Rules v2I. In this episode you will see the Hard Cat rules in operation, reflecting the lack of intel if C2 is lost, and the efforts required to gain fresh intel and the issuing of fresh orders.
  12. https://youtu.be/Ai5bvbwqDU8 A Combat Mission Fortress Italy story, using Bil Hardenberger's excellent C2 Hard Cat Rules v2I. For those of you who like to take game accuracy/authenticity to the next level, I highly recommend you give Bil's rules a run out. They make the game far more challenging by, amongst other things, removing the player's ability to react to situations that the troops on the ground would be unaware of. I will be producing these DARs as I play the game, so I'm as unaware of the outcome as you will be! Feedback appreciated, as always Drew

  15. @WimO thanks for the explanation and insight into your aims for the campaign I, too, love a story and much prefer to see things through to the end to allow the story to reach its conclusion. I write short stories for a hobby, and I'm planning on writing one for your campaign, driven by the game's actions and outcomes. To use a different analogy from yours, hitting the ceasefire button is like tearing the remaining pages out of a novel just because you got to a happy bit I have read your "Eureka" solution post, and think it's a great fix A note in the briefing is important, as you mentioned, because it would have made me carry on to the end of the two hour mission, instead of finishing early due to lack of designer guidance (that's by no means levelled as a criticism, by the way) So, I've picked up mission one from the ed of the turn prior to hitting ceasefire, and less than five turns later things are happening. I love what you have put together But, rats, you mentioned V2 is imminent. Does that mean I should cease play and start again when you upload V2? Final thought....I love your idea of not disclosing the precise objective (Alt-J). The biggest bugbear of mine is the way that the current objectives work. They steer players towards acting in a "gamey" manner Drew
  16. Thanks @Warts 'n' all I'll rewind to my last turn and see it through to the bitter end Appreciate your help guys Drew
  17. Thanks @PEB14 So, what you're saying is I should play through? Don't want to start the second mission without knowing which is correct @WimO Thanks Drew
  18. @WimO Really enjoying the campaign so far, and I've only played the first scenario! Thanks for your time and effort putting it all together for our enjoyment Which leads me to my question. I didn't play the full two hours because I hit the ceasefire button once I had achieved more than half of my objectives (55 mins in). Is that legal? There's nothing to say that you can't hit ceasefire, but it meant I ended the scenario before any possible counterattacks and achieved a major victory Is hitting ceasefire allowed or do I have to play each scenario full length PS Enjoy your CM retirement. Our loss Drew
  19. Pre ordered I'm assuming we are notified when we can download? Drew
  20. Sorry, you misinterpreted what I meant. I am a PC (Windows) user, not a Mac user. Your v104 patch only lists two files, one is a read me and the other is for Mac users only. There is no v104 patch file there for Windows users. I have spoken to others on the forum, and the Windows patch was available for them a few days ago, and they downloaded it. It has since been removed/disappeared. There is a competition beta test starting on 4th July, and participants need the Windows patch to be able to access the beta tournament
  21. Hi Your home page says v104 is available for Cold War, but it's not on your patch screen. The only patch available is v103 for Mac users
