Neil aka Major Tum Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Just bought the above which includes CMBO - Does it contain all the patches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Yes for CMBO and CMBB, but you will need to download the latest 1.03 patch for CMAK. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Cheers Moon - will download it. Also, do you know if I can get a patch to alter the waffen units back to SS? As I understand, because the anthology was a european release I know they changed the name to take out any Nazi references Also there are no swasitka's. But I want to put it back...any ideas???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopard_2 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 As for the graphics, you'll have to look for mods to replace the off-CD game graphics. As for changing the name in-game, I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say before I hit the add reply button: I wonder if there is a mod with all the bits I need? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 There are mods to replace the flags with swastika flags, and mods to replace the little unit icons with the ss runes and swastikas in the scenario screen. As for "waffen granadier" In the unit names, I believe this cannot be changed in CMBO but can be changed with a user made patch in CMBB and CMAK. www.combatmission.com has all the flags and stuff I think. www.cmmods.com will probably have the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings up an interesting historic question... would swastikas actually be the correct iconography to represent troop positions? Or would the Balkenkreuz been used? After all, it was the national identification sign, both before, during, and after WWII (and to this day). I don't really know. Anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Interesting question... Can't really answer this sorry, but on all the photo's I have seen, panzer's would drape a Swastika flag, for aerial recognition - Never a balkenkreuz? Also, I still can't believe that the sight of a Swastika would turn me into a Nazi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolman Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hey boys...once and for all CMBB IS VERSION 1.00 in the anthology. So far i don´t know about CMAK. That´s CDV... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Oddly enough, I actually prefer the balkenkreuz as a German hidden unit marker. I think the swastika would be appropriate if the Germans in a particular scenario are SS troops or maybe Fallschirmjaeger, but I know too many WWII German veterans who were simply patriotic Germans doing what they perceived as their duty, even though they couldn't stand Hitler's politics. Without straying too close to the fortunately defunct political forum, there are a lot of Americans in Iraq who are Democrats -- imagine how they would feel fifty years from now if someone used the Repulbican elephant as their hidden unit marker just because the republicans happened to be running the country. The analogy is weak, of course, because the Nazi party symbol got elevated to a national symbol as well. But I think that either the balkenkreuz or the iron cross (in either its bowdlerized or WWII-era version) make very good inclusive national symbols for all branches of the service. And they're very good designs, too. You might want to take a look at the different options available in the CMMOS vexillography mod over at CMHQ if you're interested in the Reichskriegflagge or the Hakenkreuzfahne. You should also take a look at Juju's German flag pack as well. Note that the iron cross and the balkenkreuz are both included in the design of the most all-inclusive German flag, the Reichskriegfanhne (National War Flag). You might also want to take a look at Mark Gallear's mod site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertruppe Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Very strange CMBB being version 1.0 in the 3 pack! I have the CDV "Special Edition" CMBB that already was updated with all the patches that I bought over a year ago! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolman Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Yeah thats strange but as far as i know the special edition nedds 2 CD´s and was only published in the USA. I think that CDV just wanted to get rid of their old CMBB CD´s. Cheers, Skolman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I was referring to the screen where you select the battles. Instead of a WG icon it replaces ss runes. I think it also puts in new icons for FG and VS. As for the in-game unit markers, I suppose the balkenkreuz would correspond to the star and circle for US and british troops rather than a swatika. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Mark Gallear's website has a great assortment of increasingly baroque and quite groggy icon sets for the menu screen for CMBB. He also has the de-bowdlerization patches. Well worth a visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertruppe Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 The CDV "Special Edition" is on one CD,although you do get an "extra" CD with the package containing many mods for the game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolman Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 As far as i konw CDV has never published a special edition. Maybe i am wrong but i know for sure that the anthology includes only the 1.00 version of CMBB. Regards, Skolman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertruppe Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have both CDV "Special Editions" of CMBO and CMBB bought at my local EB games over a year ago. I have seen CMBO SE at Best Buy for 14.95 just a few weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolman Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hey Panzertruppe, you are from the USA, CDV USA has pubished the special edition, not CDV Europe ! Oi! Skolman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 My anthology CMBB is version 1.03. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 For newbies I suggest getting CMBO alone or in the anthology pack just in case you ever want to convert a CMBO map to CMBB or CMAK with Pyewacket's Map Converter Tool. For the prices I am seeing posted it is nice to have the whole set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolman Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hey Wodin, the Anthology my mate bought is version 1.00 (is it possible that the patch is on one of the CD´s) ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
