[Concerns before buying]

I started to find that I needed to check *every* single unit's orders at the end of the command phase, because no matter what they had been previously issued, sometimes there would be extra move commands added onto what I had issued, or in one case, I could not get one unit to stay in a building or another to get in a specific building in the first place! They would always run off to some other spot close by but not the building! This went on for some 5 turns. Then, once I finally got them into the building, the next turn, they ran back out of it! There was no combat going on this whole time anywhere near them. I just wanted them to stand guard there in case. They kept wandering off, usually into open space where they could have been, conveniently mowed down! Is this a feature? The units in question were all in good order, and the only thing I could note was that they were spread out around the town and not usually in HQ contact. Towards the end, frankly, I started to just get tired of it and let them wander off, since there wasn't much enemy activity left, but that's hardly realistic and ruinous to any sort of organised defense against last-minute appearing enemy units!

This sounds odd. Other than accidentally double clicking on a unit and giving them a move order (which would give a move order to everyone in that unit), I don't see how this could happen by themselves. I don't remember ever experiencing something like this. Did they come under fire when they would get into position?

There was one, infantry gun ordinance that the SS had. I had them setup with a covered arc, but when British infantry appeared along the edge of the orchard, within the arc, the crew never fired and were subsequently dispatched by said infantry! Any insight why they wouldn't have fired on the Brit infantry?

Did that specific gun team spot the enemy infantry? The Brits may have been spotted by a different unit. Also, just because you're able to see something may not necessarily mean you can shoot it. Was the targeting arc you used purple or yellow?

Can MG ammo bearer's possess and fire the MG they are attached to if the original crew are lost?

If it's an HMG, then no. Once a whole team is knocked out, the weapon they crewed is knocked out with it. Keep in mind if you decrew an AT gun manually you won't be able to recrew it. If it's a light MG, then other teams MAY pick up the weapon but there's a chance the weapon gets destroyed as well.

I use Bandicam. It's free and it works perfect.

I really love your suggestions for line of sight tools. That would be amazing, as figuring out line of sight was one of my biggest difficulties when I first started playing.

I'm kind of bummed that not many people wanted a Vietnam era game. Luckily there's a mod for that... just have to get CMSF2 one day.

[New patches are now available for all Game Engine 4 titles except......]

How does installing the patch work for PBEM games?

Do you go through the playback phase, save at set up phase, close out, install patch, and then go back in? Do both players have to do that?

I feel like something in the far future with aliens would be cool.

I know that's not gonna happen, but a man can dream...
