pmarvin Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 How do I start from zero and get to play Market Garden? I have no "base game"...nothing...on my PC. I'm afraid to order, 'cause I don't know which pieces to buy to be able to play the Market Garden form of the game. When I try CM: Normandy I get "You don't need to d/load anything...you already have all the files you need." ???? I actually have nothing, and want to buy whichever pieces I need. Can anyone straighten out the confusion? Thanks. p marvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2k Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 you would need these two: CMBN Base Game CMBN Market Garden Module - or this single one - CMBN BIG BUNDLE PS You will always have the necessary files, that is never an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilts Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I may be wrong but I think he needs the Commonwealth module too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I bought Market Garden long before Commonwealth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarvin Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Thanks guys! I'll get: >Combat Mission Battles for Normandy Base Game, AND > " " " " " Market Garden module. Presumably I simply install them in that order, and the manual will tell me the rest. Pete 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 There is no install for the module. The CMBN base download/install already contains all modules. You just activate the ones you bought with a serial number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUK Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'd get the bundle - you'll end up wanting to get CW for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landser Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Yes, another recommendation for the big bundle. It's easy for me to spend your money but I think it's a good idea because it will give you many more choices for downloadable content -- scenarios and campaigns. Even if a scenario/campaign is Market Garden-centric, the author may have used a piece from another part of the bundle, which you'd need to play it. With the big bundle, every CMBN mission is in play. The big bundle includes the battle pack and vehicle pack right? In US dollars I think it's an extra $15 to get the whole works over just Market Garden. Best of luck whatever you choose and good hunting commander. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The ease of not having to think about third party scenario's use of modules alone is worth the money for the full bundle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradave Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 It may have gotten lost in the discussion, but only one download is necessary. The 4.03 full installer has everything in it. You order CMBN, and the Market Garden add on. You'll get a license code for both. When you run the installer it will want your license for CMBN. Then, after you've installed it, if you are on a PC, on your desktop (an alias) or in the install folder (the original), you'll find Activate Additional Products - a script. Run that and you'll be able to input your Market Garden license code. Then you are ready to play. If you are on a Mac, the Activate Additional Products will be in the CMBN folder in /Applications. Double click on it (it may ask you if you are sure you want to run it - say yes). Same thing - input your license code (be aware on Macs the pop up acts graphically wonky (technical term) starting with OS X Big Sur and newer. But it's usable.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Have to add to the 'Get The Bundle' chorus.....It's stonking good value, probably the most comprehensive bundle of all (although CM:SF2 packs some serious goodies too). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradave Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Me too. It's a great bargain for the massive content you get. The Commonwealth module is lots of fun. It's like a whole different game playing with all that different equipment and organization. Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
