TooTall 1-41 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hello everyone, Long time lurker here, but I thought I should finally register. Love Combat Mission and all the frustration and excitement it brings. Anyway, I purchased the British Forces module to play the Brits, but also because I noticed that in the TO&E section on the website stated that the British module contained a US Army Infantry battalion. I served in a light Infantry battalion in both a line company and the heavy weapons company (as well as the battalion scout platoon) and I really wanted to use this formation in game. Although, I cant seem to find the Infantry battalion for quick battles. I think the Infantry battalion it is a very flexible and oddly resilient formation on the modern battlefield despite the lack of heavy vehicles. Our IBCT showed this time and again during force-on-force FTXs as well as our wonderful rotation to NTC (we were one of the first IBCTs to rotate to NTC for a while). I would love to get my hands on some TOWs and CROWS mounted on up-armored HMMWVs. Anybody know if this formation is even in the game? Thanks for your help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 It should be there, bearing in mind I've got all the modules, but I have just gone into QB, selected US Army, Infantry Only and it appeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTall 1-41 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Interesting. I did the same thing and there is no Infantry battalion. There is only a combined arms battalion and stryker battalion along with various cav and engineer companies. Thanks for the reply though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Turn that in as a ticket. Either there is an issue with ToE for the module or something with your license. I suspect the module settings, but I am with Combatintman in that I have the full set so can't tell what might be the issue for you. Only the base game and British module have US units as you'd noted so I can't see why they wouldn't show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Something makes me think the IBCT came with the US Marines module not the British. Like Combatintman I've all the modules and can see it in game, but perhaps someone with just the Marine module can confirm.

MOS:96B2P Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 When you are in the Editor and push the space bar the needed module will show to the right of the formation. When I hit the space bar the US Army Infantry battalion showed Marine module to the right. US Stryker and Heavy Infantry showed nothing to the right so came with the base game. Not sure if that is helpful..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The IBCT and US Army LMTV truck were indeed part of the British forces module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTall 1-41 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks for the help guys. I don't know what is going on, but I looked in the editor and there are no units available for US Infantry. So I guess I will submit a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
