    I thought it was fun to fire up the scenario and read the briefing.
    A readme.txt is certainly easy, but I appreciate that he put his thoughts and process into scenario form.

    Even if it was 30 minutes in my 3 hour game, that would be do-able (and useful).  Otherwise you have a big chunk of metal sat in the wrong place right up to 3 hours.

    Vacillator reacted to JM Stuff in Apply easily patches in CM (question for @BFCElvis, clevers members, or members of (BFC) !   
    Thank you @Vacillator Tim, I check always first to myself a easy way to work,  patches were for me in the past a headaches, and cost me sometimes another full installation, if I find something more easy but also seem to be secure, I share my ideas.
    I do the manipulation almost with closing eyes since longtimes ago, but can also make mistakes on things that I dont know, this is why my question to @A Canadian Cat - was IanL to be sure for the correct manipulation to edit the patch,  but to explain all, is a little more difficult and like you can read above, I was forgetting to mention some gestures that I did automaticaly, but believe me, this works,  with a probability of 80 percent to dont makes mistakes, the rest of 20 percents is yourself.
    hope this will be usefull for everybodys I keep a good sentence 
    I should probably pitch that idea

    Exactly one year after the first announcement, the project is now finished. In order to avoid
    misunderstandings on the part of the company Battlefront.com, I chose the name CampaignPack 😎.
    The pack (as described in former threads) consists of 5 campaigns in which the player is thrown
    into the events of the summer of 1944 in the sector of the German Army Group Center.
    In total you will play minium 52 single missions, maximum 55 single missions (depending on one
    branch). To avoid technical problems, I didn't add any mods to the campaigns. But I can, for example,
    highly recommend the excellent work of @JM Stuff, especially his extraordinary mod collection of vehicles
    and wrecks 👍
    I recently visited the forum regularly to stay in touch with people who wanted to register. However, I have
    asked the people at Battlefront.com several times to delete my profile.  This request has not yet been
    granted to me, so as a quasi "undead" I will always stop by - but I will no longer take part in any discussions
    or answer any questions in the forum. To get in touch with me, please write to me at:
    E-Mail: f-s-zbg@web.de.😎
    Of course, I can still send the campaign pack to anyone interested.
     
    So all I can say is:
    It was a great pleasure for me to finish this project and share it with many people.
    I hope you have as much fun playing as I did creating it 🙏
     
    Best regards
    Mr.X

    Sometimes it's just someone's lucky day, I think. A near miss, a glancing blow. Maybe the TC saw the shot being fired, and had just enough time to duck and pull down the hatch enough to avoid the flying tree splinters. Mantle hit - glancing blow (looked pretty direct though), happened to hit the heaviest armor on a lightly armored tank?
    Like board games, while each bullet/shell is intricately tracked, when it hits, there is some element of chance as to what happens, as there is in real life as well. Think of a real person being shot - a half-inch either way might have been fatal, but "tis but a scratch" 🤣  And since in a different thread someone said I can't say such things without the meme, I bring you, the Black Knight.

    Not cool!  Condolences.
    Ha!  Oh, I know!  In one of my CMBN battles I had a 60mm mortar drop a round right into the open top of a PSW.  It's amazing when luck turns your way.
    But then...sometimes there is nowhere to go and nothing to do but sit there and take it.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Do you think the code includes a 'luck dice roll' where one player gets the luck and other doesn't 😉?
    In Pershing vs Tiger this week, I had an unbuttoned M24 Chaffee on recon duty.  One of @Ultradave's Tigers spotted it and an 88 shell exploded in the trees a few feet from the TC's head.  He buttoned up sharpish, no injuries.  The next 88 shell hit the turret and achieved a partial penetration right next to the TC's position inside.  Again no injuries, just made the crew 'nervous'.  You don't say 😂.  The Chaffee then retreated into the trees, and a turn later was Ready and OK...lucky TC and lucky crew.
    Anyway, good luck with your Panthers, although I may be a little late for one of the them!

    In two recent PBEMs, I have lost a Panther each time to artillery fire unluckily landing on the engine hatches.

    That seems a little 'counter-progress' if I may say?  I know what you mean, but long term it's the way to go (and Steve is not retiring just yet, he said so).
    I'll buy Utah anyway and keep playing CM2 for now.

    Tonight, I have finished the complete (as it is now called) CampaignPack „Summer of Destruction“.
    During the next hours, I will complete the short intro file and then start to send the content to all the guys who have ordered it. Within the next 2-3 days, everybody should get it 👍🏻
     
    There is a small limitation:
    The announced 20 master maps are not included yet. I simply don‘t have the patience to wait any longer with the release. I will send these maps with a second mail within the next 2-4 weeks.
    Regards 
    Mr.X
