WOOPS looks like I jumped the gun. Thats how I truly feel about Nvidia though
No worries, it's good to say it how you feel it
. In most circumstances anyway

So Nvidia forces its customers to upload screenshots they took (Essentially without their permission) and then has limits on the storage space you can use?
LMAOOOOO **** Nvidia. These guys are smoking crack. Why should Nvidia have my screenshots? They are mine. They belong on my hard drive. Nvidia isn't reinventing the wheel with screenshot software. I sincerely hope they go out of business.
Ermmm, no, that's not what I meant. They don't force me to upload screenshots, why would they? I use it because it works and doesn't give me the loading screen every time like pressing the Windows PrintScreen button does.
And the limit I referred to is on the forum here, nothing to do with Nvidia. I can only post 1.95MB of pictures, after which I must delete old ones to make space. And the old pictures then seem to disappear from the threads.

I expect that impacts all titles if not working as intended. I don't expect that has been changed since the advent of CMx2
I believe this is correct, or at least PrintScreen has alway given me the loading screen instead of in-game shots in the WW2 titles.
To get around it, I use Nvidia's graphics software to capture, Alt-F1 seems to do it.
Sadly I can only post a few pics anyway before my allowance is gone, and often deleting previous ones in my profile 'store' removes them from whatever thread they were in. I've seen suggestions that remote hosting (Imgur or whatever) is a better soultion but haven't bothered yet...

I put all the turret numeral layers in a layer group and set the group to soft light layer mode. Down at the bottom right is my prototype of a DAK M41 feld mutze.
Great job Phil, but on a minor note I think perhaps the 8's are upside down (i.e. the larger circles should be at the bottom)? Please don't shoot the messenger

Sadly I don't have one in my Z folder....

My bad
No worries. It would be nice however if we did have the T-26. And the T-28, T35 etc. etc. Not to mention KV1 and KV2. Oh no, I did just mention them
.
-
Perhaps that should have read T-70? It's a bit early for it, but it is in the game.
-
Assume you've checked all the usual blunder-possibilities? Like putting the file in the right game but wrong folder, or in the wrong game but right folder etc. etc.? Is the name of the file actually new? Does it show up if you change it to another name? Are the preceding saves also 60MB as this would suggest size is not the problem?
I'm sure you have you my friend so sorry if I'm stating the obvious

I use Mord's lovely portraits for all of the WW2 titles, how might yours compare? I could try them and compare but perhaps you already have?
EDIT: Meant to say welcome!

It's terrible. The electronic dirge is enough to put anyone with ears off for a start. And what the hell are Russian language street signs doing on this map? BFC need to fix that pretty damn sharpish.
I like a bit of electronic dirge. If only I could find my ears I'm sure it would sound even better...

Bienvenue @Mr. Matos, je suis plus francophile que fracophone mais je vous souhaite bonne chance.
And yes, please direct any grammatical corrections to Google

I’m a relatively new player looking for suggestions as to which Campaign to play next
Does it have to be a campaign? There are some excellent standalone scenarios - for example anything by @George MC.
If it does have to be a campaign, I have had great fun (and pain) from Final Blitzkrieg campaigns, and also from an unexpected source which was @kohlenklau's Fortress Italy 'Wacht am Rapido' made I believe some time before FB came out.
Thinking about all of these, they all have great '3 dimensional' maps and the need to use or cope with elevation changes on CM maps is one of my favourite things about the game.

@kohlenklau just started a project to create early war scenarios. IIRC, he plans to base it on CMFI. Anyway, search for his thread or contact Kohl for info.
Yes indeed, having just played one of his scenarios set near the Corinth Canal in Greece I can say that the idea has great potential. Needs some careful selection of forces of course. If anyone can do it @kohlenklau can

I mentioned this to my better half yesterday, to which I received the expected response - "what are you going on about now?". Oh well, history is not for everyone

I can attest to the younger crowd not wanting hard copies, but Combat Mission seems to attract a lot more... Gray Beards than average
You'll be asking to buy vinyl LPs next...

By "right", do you mean "an accurate simulation", then no, obviously it's not. Steel plate is steel plate and takes energy out of whatever penetrates it. But I'd imagine that the designers considered the number of times that it may occur where a penetrating hit can go on to strike another target low enough to not burden the codebase with very-rarely-used calculations.
And I would accept that. It seems however that the OP and his opponent are finding the exception to the rule in their game.

the outbound armour skin isn't counted
I for one have never really considered this, but I think observation backs it up and I would not doubt your word.
Is it right that it is so? On a HT or even a Panzer IV perhaps it makes little difference but what if I penetrate the rear of let's say a Tiger and it goes straight out the front with no slowing, no deflection etc.? Of course I fully realise it's not about to change, and given that I hadn't considered or even appreciate fully why it is so, I won't be losing any sleep over it

Semovente 90/53 - unless it has changed, 9 AP and 3 HE:
Bit of a rare beast according to the manual (only 48 produced) or even rarer according to Wikpiedia (30 produced). So rare that I've not used one, but will look to do so now...

OBA = off-board artillery, i. e. not on the map
In some cases you have the choice of on or off board, look for options at the bottom left of the selection screen for those units.

I can't imagine there being anyone, brave, or foolish enough to hang the flags out every morning in late April 45.
If that's the date, you make a fair point. They might have just left them out all the time though? I don't fly a flag from my parapets so I wouldn't know whether etiquette dictates nightly furling.

Well thankyou kindly sir, I've returned the favour - you deserve it! Now if only I could see my cup somewhere...

John, I think we have to take a deep breath and release the anguish about things we can't influence. I totally agree with you and there are many more subjects of such thoughts (military or otherwise), but we can't do much about them. Or can we? Ask me after I've won the lottery

Nice video by the way...

When I'm commanding Panthers I seem to have a lot of gun and sight damage. My 'nodes' are usually fine
