G'day all. I'm a new old guy (ok, no cracks about my age - I mean I was on here a number of years ago but took a hiatus and am back now ). I just purchased all the WWII era sims/games and of course, am delighted with them. I thought I noticed somewhere (could be wrong) a post from someone asking about the functionality of tablets with CM games. I own both the Cintiq and Intuos Pro tablets from Wacom and have tried them both with CM systems, so I thought I'd report back here just in case anyone was wondering. Not a lot of people own Cintiq's so perhaps that's not as relevant but it does not work with the CM games, as I expected. However, the Intuos Pro works very well indeed. In fact, if you program your stylus buttons to the CMD/CTRL modifier, you can move around the map quite quickly and fluidly. It's quite a nice setup really. I find I can be quite precise in where my movement and fire plots go as well. Now, if you're used to using the mouse or trackpad, but not used to the tablet, the learning curve may be fairly steep and a tad prolonged, so I wouldn't recommend running out and buying a tablet just for this purpose, but if you've been considering one for other purposes anyway, I can tell you that you'll get extra duty out of it by using it with CM games.
I should say that my rig is an iMac 27 5K (I've tried it on my MacBook Air as well with the same results), so if you're on a Windows machine, I can't say how well (or even if) it would work, but I'd be surprised if it didn't. I doubt this is a platform specific thing, but I thought I'd better mention it just in case. Also, I only own Wacom tablets so whether a Surface, Huion (or other brand/model) would work, I also can't say.
Anyway, I hope this helps either now, or down the road.
