    Funny you should say that, a mate of mine had a Milk Snatcher toilet roll holder. The paper came out of her mouth. I wish they still made them.

    Vacillator reacted to Erwin in off road / Tanks belong on the roads. Seelow Heights   
    Roads tend to allow two vehicles side by side.  In addition to giving a 5 sec pause for the following vehicle, try putting one on the RHS of the road and the 2nd on the LHS, and stagger any additional vehicles that are following.  Of course the issue is that additional pauses are not every 5 seconds but increase exponentially to 45 seconds.  
    So, in addition to increased PAUSES, the other technique I use is to have following vehicles drive at a slower speed at least until the first waypoint.  So, if the first Vehicle moves FAST, later vehicles could move QUICK, then HUNT etc.

    LOL JM, good one.  I like a bit of Kenneth Williams as we've veered down the comedy direction.  I won't say which bit though matron.

    That's some pretty fancy shooting though, even if the animation looks bizarre.

    I think you need to have a Matrix/Slitherine account, put the left side code in on their website for the product in question, and it will give you a Steam code.
    Do you have a Matrix/Slitherine account?

    1.   As Brille said, see the first post from BFCElvis in this thread.  If you need to ask more questions feel free 😉, I've done this for all titles (acquired from BFC but added on Steam via a Matrix/Slitherine key) and it works.  Having said that I still play just the BFC versions but that's neither here nor there.
    2.  You need to create a Z folder folder in your Steam 'CM title'\Data folder, and put your mods in it.  One of mine is here as an example:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Combat Mission - Battle for Normandy\Data\Z
    So it works the same way, it just needs to be in the Steam folder structure not the BFC folder structure.

    That tool does not. But I do have:
    https://www.combatmission.lesliesoftware.com/RedThunder/Scenarios/index.html
    Which you can sort by Date and it is updated with the latest information. The whole site is getting updated slowly but Red Thunder has been done. I'll make a formal announcement once the whole thing is up to date.

    I agree, but what is 'the Crunch' - do you mean a Crunchy bar?  I would be frustrated if I lost a Crunchy bar.
    You're drawing my mind to a colleague's tea mug at work.  It is emblazoned with 'No to monarchy'.  All I can say (to you, not him) is that you tried...
    He also had an 'I'll miss EU' plate after Brexit, with which I fully agreed, but we all know what a Fook-up that was.

    Depends on the circumstances I suppose.
    Okay if I ever get the time, I need to play this 😉.

    Well the right person is @BFCElvis so you never know.  But opening a ticket at the Helpdesk would make sure.

    If you have the CMFB module, you have it.
    Did I ever say I like the Jagdpanther 😉?  I agree with what you say though, particularly the gun damage.
    Just by way of balance I have a Tiger Ausf B in a PBEM which just took a frontal hit from an ISU122 at less than 50m.  Bounced off.  The return shot from my KT penetrated the ISU.  No-one got out 💀.  You win some you lose some.

    Load it up and look at the bottom right of the screen.  It should show which version.
  21. Thanks
    Vacillator got a reaction from AdamPraha in How to update this old game ?   
    Also, the version number you have is displayed at bottom right of screen when you open up the game.  Mine is showing v2.13 BFC.
  22. Thanks

    If you purchased F&R the code will be in your order history at BFC.  If you didn't I can recommend it.
    If you have any further questions, I'm happy to try to help 👍.

    Adam, it's an old(ish) but still current game.  It may be my favourite, but that's not important.  Anyway, if you have the latest F&R module then you're up to date.
    And hello to Praha, I had some good times there...

    For a reason only known to themselves, battlefront insist on supplying the 8 year old game manual with their downloads, which is not the latest version that includes instructions (basic as they are) on how to use PBEM++.  You will need to contact helpdesk to find the updated manual, which is hidden within their labrynthine files system. @BFCElvis
