You rock!! Thanks for the information, cleared up some assumptions I was making.

These were crack, uhhh and I think normal motivation..... My thinking was..... there is a squad leader that is also effected by leadership boosting.... but it seems like you are saying the leadership bonus (beyond +1) is somewhat irrelevant and a waste of points. Points which BTW, can really add up..... This is one of those things a DEFINITE answer would be good, not the enjoyable "purposefully vague" type of mystery.....

Been playing around with the leadership modifier.... From what I can tell... if a platoon HQ has +2 ... but the Squads themselves have a 0 leadership... then these squads WILL break and run under fire, no matter what their HQ leaders experience. Any confirmation of this or thoughts on leadership / starting attributes? -Boz

Poker is my life. Made me a better CM player too.

Thanks! I'll test this out and report back. Appreciate you taking the time. -Boz

I see your point but --- I was interested in using campaign maps for PBEM quick battles. Any thoughts on that?

Anyone out there know how to create a quick battle (custom settings AKA weather, force types, etc) --- BUT using a campaign map instead? Thanks bruvs, Boz

Howdy gents -- - Been playing so much PBEM lately with a handful of opponents, decided to make a FB multiplayer group for CM. --- Great place to quickly find games and discuss strategy / post content. https://www.facebook.com/groups/122990801690108/ If you're looking for a FB game, hit me up! -Boz

Up for a quick battle? Drop me a pm or add www.facebook.com/houseofboz. -Boz

PM me or add facebook.com/houseofboz for constant PBEM fights on medium maps.

Then its simple: My opponent was on crack.

Down for a game, shoot me a PM.

Sburke ---- are you sure about that? A PBEM opponent and I just discovered that, even though he purchased FBlitzkrieg 3 days ago --- it came as version 3.102 (or whatever the last one was before the engine 4 update). We ran into this because he could not load a turn. Below is the chat: -------------------------------------------------- You: Good luck, hope you enjoy the scenario Oppo: funny it gets to 25% loading and just stops You: ..... uhhhhh....... thats not good..... are you certain its not on your end? If not I guess I have to remake my turn / setup. Let me know. You: like... maybe your HD where CM is installed doesnt have enough free space? .... or..... do you have Final blitzkreig 4.0 ? (latest patch, the 10 dollar one) ?? Oppo: i just bought the game so i thought it had 4 built in You: Yes I believe thats true ---- You can check , main screen bottom right Oppo: and ive 500 Gig free You: okkkk we must have a corrupted turn then --- Let me try and drop it again --- if that doesnt work, I will remake it Oppo: it always takes a while to load though You: ok well give it like.... 4 - 5 minutes, and let me know You: Cuz I think the file is probably ok I've never seen this problem (that I remember) Oppo: you might be right ive got 3 -102 Oppo: ill buy version 4 You: sounds good --- you know battlefront, they like to make the MOST money they can... the new tracer effects are kinda cool though. You: Just curious when did you buy the game? I'll put this rumor to rest on the Forums that it comes updated. Oppo: 3 days ago! You: WOW. That aint right! .... ok I'm going to post about this.

You're welcome.

When/if I ever get the fortitude, I'll try and knock out the small and large maps (with a higher resolution screenshot) .... Glad you found it useful! ...If only Battlefront would move that "preview" button to the map selection screen.... but that must be the kind of advanced coding that only a team of NSA / Chinese hackers can produce. </sarcasm>

Greetings --- As someone who plays a ton of PBEM multiplayer, I've taken the liberty of making a recon package for every single Final blitzkrieg MEDIUM sized map. I chose all medium maps as the first set, because I believe that size lends well to most multiplayer engagements. By taking screenshots of both American and German deployment zones, you can quickly use these folders to preview maps without launching actual quick battle previews ---- and it gives a quick study in how to choose forces / eliminates the confusion of "How far can the enemy forward deploy" & vice versa. Enjoy, but don't enjoy so much that you drop arty strikes in the drop zones, turn 1. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h2jbajq7lsor06v/AAAqwlFVmVnETo_Eh79G8s5ba?dl=0 -Boz PS ---- Always open for PBEM, feel free to send a challenge at any time.

Reply & let me know and I'll setup a game (A fair game). Please have CMhelper and be Dropbox enabled, thnx! -Boz

As a hardcore, long term user.... who has been playing turn based multiplayer for the last 5+ years.... Here is my simple suggestion (though I recognize it might be difficult to implement): REPLAYS. After a game ends, a stitched together replay of both players turns that has all time-based controls available. The satisfaction level would be HUGE, to watch all of the action as it unfolded and get an exact replication of the entire battle. It would also allow for some great youtube FRAPS footage. For your consideration BF team, from one of your most avid fans.... -Bozilas
