    Battlefront's first Super Bundle is now available.

    in Combat Mission - General Discussion

    Posted

    So following up on my 'Super Super Bundle' suggestion, I used Steam to select the Bundle plus the national add-ons in SF2 and the Battle Pack in BS.  Here's what it would cost me in these harsh post-Brexit 🙄 times:

    Being the sort of person who has to have all of the content, I would have to go this way.  Unless @BFCElvis has a better offer, as I'd rather buy it direct 😉.  Not really expecting a counter-offer by the way John.

    Still nothing, two turns later.

    If you'd like I could take a look at the save file and see if I get the same problem?  Let me know and we can set up a dropbox link or email or whatever works for you.

    Of course if you've moved on that's fine 😉.  I could also load up Studienka and play it through, but you said they appear quite late in the battle.

    Just to confirm that "JuJu's UI" including my update is purely a bmp replacer mod and doesn't touch the scripts at all.

    Apologies @Ithikial_AU, my throw away comment was meant to just say that I use the UI mod so things look a little different (read much better), not that it might have anything to do with the mortars.

    All 6 of you will download it!

    I'll give it a go once it's whittled Phil, thanks.  Happy to PBEM with you if that helps.

    Also please PM me if I'm meant to be doing anything else, my thought processes seem a little overloaded at present 🤪😆.

    Weird stuff in CM. Why is CM great?

    Regardless of all the whinging

    I'm not sure this thread is a whinefest or even has that much whinging?  Most here love the game and perhaps are just reporting some of the oddities that happen now and then.  It's not a big thing, is it?  I imagine none of the above will stop any of us playing the game, certainly not me.

    I'll now await the shooting down in flames 😬...

    I see, sorry to hear about that John and hope it improves soon.

    It's doable for a player controlled force, but not the AI.

    Good point.

    boil my piss

    Thanks for the detailed explanation George.  I had wondered about the '17 IS2s' in the video as it did not tally with what I'd read (and of course played 😉) before.

    John, buy the game - you won't regret it (or should I say I didn't 😉 it was my first CM title).

    IIRC in game the number of IS2s was not that high, there were more T34s.  There are various accounts of what happened and various denials of what happened so I think the game version takes a middle ground (@George MC will I'm sure correct me on this). 

    You can of course employ all of the the Tigers straight away if you wish (I did), or play it historically 😬.

    Oh and the dismounted start is I think possible @Rinaldi did it recently in his BN Detours scenario (again this is subject to correction).

    Can you say which scenario and I'll give it a try?

    I note that we are in the Red Thunder section, but I knew that the KG Peiper campign in Final Blitzkrieg has Sdkfz 251/2s so I loaded that up (as I was struggling to find them in the RT editor).  I can fire directly with the mounted mortar (using Target for example) and I can use a nearby HQ to request it to fire, so your behaviour sounds unusual.  Have you dismounted and re-mounted as I've read that this can cause problems?
