+1 Ian.

Ermm, welcome to the forum
.
I feel your frustration, but to me (and shoot me down here) it's a game, not a real life simulator. The fact that it is really good at simulating most situations doesn't mean everything will pan out how you expect.
I'll continue to play the game
.

You and your conscripts
.
My saves were much smaller, maybe 35MB. Hmmm.
Anyway, it didn't lose me the battle, I can do that myself. In my defense it is tough - La Fiere Causeway courtesy of WimO (Angriffe der Grenadiere) played as the Germans against a real 82nd Airborne opponent
.

Did you get any feedback on this my friend?
Think I had a similar thing in CMBN where a unit in full working order had a movement order I didn't recognise next turn (not an inadvertent HQ order). Tried to move or delete the order, but couldn't. I probably have saves either side of this.

This is the magic.
Thanks Ian, understood. I had no inkling a patch was coming, my head may have been buried in Eastern Front sand...

I’m not a sorcerer- if that’s what it says
It disnae me auld mucker (mucka in my vernacular, hmmm the jury is out on that). Pre-order is placed, and I agree with others that more could have ben charged

Edit: Google made me doubt myself

Or download version 2.12 when it’s released which contains recent updates?
Say what George? The instruction says that no download is required. Sorcery - need to break out the
's.
Anyhoo, whatever works is just fine by me, your work is worth any amount of sorcery

Nice youtube. And I thought you were about to make a case for Combat Mission (American) Civil War

I do not understand this sorcery either lol.
Agreed LOL. How can new files already be there? Sorcery indeed. Unless activating the code also splurges the new files to you?

why did Aragorn think the new RT release would be soon? I was just assuming it was the usual ~6 week thing
I also think it'll be very soon, and it will be well worth the asking price of a pint of beer!

I hope you mean real football?
And on the subject of girls we must be careful in assuming likes and dislikes. And there endeth my PC surmon. And also there endeth my welcome here in the forum

I have been suspended from 4 until 9 September!
You must have been a very naughty boy Jacob:
I hope that wearing suspenders for almost a week taught you a lesson?
Of course others invited more severe punishment...

(Edit: The version with the combined and tagged mods would still be great to have.)
Agreed, maybe someone will come along with a link.

+1 to all of the comments about @George MC
.
I found the announcement on the main BFC page interesting. It says:
'...Battle Pack 1 is open for pre-oders. Set in Poland...' So only for battles to the East of the Oder
. Please feel free to shoot me now.

Unfortunately, the Dropbox link is dead.
This one (the second one in the thread above) is still working for just the cam file:

But to be honest I would have thought that at least one plane would make a mistake and would come down for one of my units. But they reliably shoot up the enemy every time.
Ah okay, they were your planes. I had imagined they were the enemy's and thought your troops might have been let's say 'distracted' by them. Doesn't answer the questions 'does friendly fire actually cause casualties?' and 'does it happen more now than before?', but I thought it might explain the rather unlucky directions of fire.
Looking through the video again though I don't think it would explain it anyway.
As for the planes, in my experience if they reliably shot at the enemy you were a lucky chap
. Particularly if they were flying almost in the dark .

Well I think full squads are designed to be more robust than split unit squad-bits so that checks out. The trade-off is as you describe.
It will however make me think a bit more about my splitting behaviour, so many thanks for that

I just wanted to planes to F%*& off.
I've often thought that, but when the opposing P47s took out a lot of my enemies in FI I wasn't complaining. Swings and roundabouts?

It does look a little odd, sometimes they could be aiming at something else, but is it down to conditions - it's quite late/dusk in most shots. Or an interesting thing if you watch with sound on - there are aircraft noises involved in all (I think) odd episodes. Aircraft and CM is not a happy mix

another loss in Crete
I really enyoyed our Greek match-up in CM Phil (as well as the North Afrika ones). And having had a lovely holiday in Kefalonia recently I would welcome another Grecian adventure if you have one handy. But otherwise bring on the Guards...
EDIT: New cat (lovely) typed numbers into my post

make the famous introductory scenario "The Guards Counterattack"
Just saw this Phil, great idea. You got me watching youtube videos like this one:
Witness the long poring and discussions over rules - oh the joys of ASL

Anyway, the usual offer of testing applies it it helps, even if I have to play against your good self

@Lucky_Strike has some lovely mods which I think impact on this. Visually of course.
But i digress
