Erwin Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's a MUCH easier install process. If it's not automatic, create a folder called CMAK or whatever and install everything into that folder. You should end up with 7 subfolders called: BMP, OpenPlay Modules, PBEM, Quick Battle Maps, Saved Games, Scenarios (includes campaigns), and WAV. In the main folder you will also have the CM Afrika Korps.exe, Manual, Prefs and a few other files. If you bought it recently with BF's "new" security activation process, that may be another issue. (I bought mine 15+ years ago when there was no security.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMac Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 hedgwich, Even thou CMx1 gives you better overall RL casualties rates at Battles End...CMx2 does it better on a turn by turn basis. CMx1 uses Small Arms & HE Firepower Values to determine Casualty & Moral hits against enemy (akin to ASL type Board Games ), while CMx2 uses RL Bullet/Shell Trajectories to determing Caualties & Moral hits. When playing CMx1, try using the 'Advance' as your main movement order when you know or think you will engage enemy troops ( or use 'Run' order at beginning of game for a couple turns when you know there is no enemy engagement ), use 'Move' Order ( not Run, or you will tire to fast ) for slow moving units like HMG's. MG's ( lesser extent Arty ) are less potent in CMx1 ( then in CMx2 ) and so need to alter your Tactics accordingly ( using or defending against them ).
