DAR - "Forging Steel" PBEM
Vacillator replied to Rinaldi's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Okay so I admit I had to look that up, not something my careers adviser told me about all those years ago. I take it you're on the receiving end? Anyway, take your time with the AAR, I know it'll be worth it . -
Stephen Grammont Interview
Vacillator replied to ASL Veteran's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Those looking for 'hints from above' might do better to look here: -
My view of it is just like that shown by @BFCElvis (except for @Juju's interface, updated by @Ithikial_AU of course, highly recommended but I understand why John doesn't use it). Just wondering, can you go back a few turns and try it again with the recent intel? Might not help in the PBEM but perhaps we can all learn something from it.

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?

Game size outrageous in upgrade 4.0 ?
Vacillator replied to Thore's topic in CM2 General Tech Support
Hmmm, just checked and I have 3.6GB on my C drive for RT and a rather whopping 59.9 GB on my D drive. That is quite a lot... -
[bug]people falling down from floor to bottom
Vacillator replied to Bufo's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
Don't think I have - did he wriggle backwards off the balcony somehow? Maybe building regs in the Black Sea area are not so strict . -
"Balanced" Scenarios - H2H
Vacillator replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I loaded them both up to have a look and I can see your issue . Just added this to my post above, will look into it: -
"Balanced" Scenarios - H2H
Vacillator replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Fair enough my friend, it's not easy to tell which would be okay (let alone good) for H2H sometimes. I'm wondering whether there is a register of this, perhaps at The Few Good Men or @IanL 's website? -
Barbarossa Scenarios Released
Vacillator replied to kohlenklau's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Encouragement my friends . I'm looking forward to a KV1... -
"Balanced" Scenarios - H2H
Vacillator replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I think this is BP Nulli Secundus? Nulli Secundus doesn't mention H2H (or anything else to be fair). FR Against the Odds likewise doesn't mention H2H (or again, anything else). Unless I'm missing something, which is quite likely. -

No worries, great stuff. -
Stephen Grammont Interview
Vacillator replied to ASL Veteran's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Such a tease . -
Messages in red might relate to duplicate file numbering/naming. Anyway, if it's working now that's great. Now to kick Phil's butt...

The Official Map Conversion Thread
Vacillator replied to Artkin's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Me too. -
Pistols are better than rifles.
Vacillator replied to semmes's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
In a recent game I found that having a nearby 37mm gun fire canister at the freshly dismounted crew encouraged them to all fall to the ground injured. Very effective . -
I assume you have an opponent Steph? However, as you say you've tried in all games maybe you're just exploring the mechanics. Anway in any case I think you are either setting up the first 'passworded' file to send to your opponent, or setting up your 'passworded' file to return in reply to his first file? Sounds like the normal first steps to me, but I might be misunderstanding? If you don't have an opponent I can have a look. I have all WW2 titles, just let me know and we can switch to PM for file exchange (email or dropbox etc.).

Got it thanks. Now need to get the time to play it . -
Tank Battle of Lisow ready for play testing
Vacillator replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Initial report sent by PM. A lot of armour (and I mean a lot), just how I like it . -
Tank Battle of Lisow ready for play testing
Vacillator replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Thanks, I'll load it up for the future battles. But now for this one... -
Here's some pictures of my map
Vacillator replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Having this now loaded up thanks to @Commanderski, I can only agree. I would also say that for @George MC to say it's excellent is praise indeed, as his maps and scenarios are true masterpieces. I'm still in a pickle in Poland George, sorry if I'm being slow... -
Barbarossa Scenarios Released
Vacillator replied to kohlenklau's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Don't be troubled by that Steph, it's fun. I've even played several games against the superhuman that is @kohlenklau. And always in his own scenarios, what could possibly go wrong ? Happily they have been more of a play-test situation so I was lucky. Phil, I don't totally understand your game plan but put me down for it my friend if you have a space, which it seems you do . As you know, I like lots of tanks, happy to play either side. Having said that, again as you know I'm normally an Axis fanboi (who would have guessed). -

Vacillator replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Got it, download is fine and so is the load up . Mein Gott, that's a lot of schwere panzer action! Haven't bothered with log4, was ist das? -
This one always entertains me (see the note at top right - 'red army attack' - in reverse it seems :
