gregb41352 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Are they in the game? I tried setting up a quick battle but the Free French don't appear at any time (1943,44 or 45). What am I missing? I have all the expansion modules. Edited January 9, 2022 by gregb41352 content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) The RTV pdf in your game directory should tell you exactly when they are available... I fired up CMFI RTV and had QB set at July 1944 and I saw "French Army" as playable, then in the appearance you can choose between 1FFD and "standard"... ...and if you fancy the North Africa theater, I have a Bir Hakeim mod and scenario.

Ithikial_AU Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 It was a real trick getting all the nations in the right months for the Italian theater. Free French are available from Nov 1943 to July 1944. All Free French Forces were taken off the front lines in Italy in July 1944 to prepare for Operation Dragoon in August, which is not part of the CMFI remit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregb41352 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Ok thanks guys I'll give it a shot. Kohl I have your North Africa mods they are exceptional but I can't get the scenarios to show up. I put them in the Game Files/scenarios folder but they don't show up in the menu in game. Something stupid on my part no doubt but any clue? Regards, Greg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start screen: In lower left see the 3 logos/emblems for base game, Gustav Line and Rome to Victory.

kohlenklau Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Any luck on that? The next thing I suggest is to go to the scenario folder outside the game, not in selecting a battle to play mode. Go in and check the CMFI scenarios you downloaded ARE in your CMFI scenario folder along with GL scenarios and RTV scenarios. Maybe you put them in a scenario folder but under CMRT or whatever? Are the scenarios all with each other "shoulder to shoulder", not in a folder inside the scenario folder? Then in the game, try to sort the scenario offerings different ways, alphabetically a to z or z to a, by size small to big, big to small. Sometimes I have NOT seen a scenario and suddenly bammo, there it was all along. just sorted strange and I didn't spot it. That is all I can think of. Beyond that, go see the BFC trouble desk or maybe another player has other ideas I didn't think of. Good luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are indeed very good and I have enjoyed playing a lot of them either as single player or against the maestro author himself . For me the later scenarios all have AFRIKA at the start, but I see some others that don't (e.g. Halfaya Pass, Italian Sappers, Blazin Chariots, Bloody Wadi). EDIT: looking in Kohlenklau (Phil)'s 'Goody Box' (easy to find in his signature LOL) I see all of these now have AFRIKA at the start. As Phil said, make sure you put them in the correct place. For me this is: C:\Users\My name\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy\Game Files\Scenarios Good luck!

Hi kohlenklau, no, sadly, and i'm completely baffled. the afrika scenarios are definitely in the scenarios folder with all the other scenarios that DO show up. so i don't get it. it doesn't make any sense to me. the folder is documents\battlefront\combat mission\fortress italy\ game files\scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregb41352 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hey Kohl, Maddeningly, now {Africa} Kasserine Rearguard shows up. Just that one. Also, in the editor, they're all there. Just not in the scenario list in game. Just bizarre. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregb41352 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 I don't know what you mean by check the icons. Please explain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 well, a lot of document files in a folder, when folder is set to icon view, have an icon based on the program assigned to them. You can see little excel symbols, word, etc. It was just an idea to check if somehow SOMEHOW! my scenarios adopted a file application and the game thinks it is not the program to open them? BUT BUT BUT you did say the scenario editor sees them all so that theory is probably dead but please take a look anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 another idea is you go ahead and open one of my scenarios in the editor and then just save it to your scenario folder and say yes to overwriting the existing one. Try one with the above procedure (and remember which one!) and then see if it is playable. I smell smoke coming from my brain you got me thinking so hard! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Another option might be to try exiting the game and renaming one of the scenarios in your folder, see if that makes it show when you restart the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregb41352 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 sgt. squarehead with a potential breakthrough. opened up bir hakiim in the editor, went to save it. it asked if i wanted to overwrite it (?). i said yes and voila it appears in the scenario list now in game. kohlenklau your brain can rest. interesting that it asked to overwrite. so it was there i just couldn't see it (?) Kohl actually many many thanks for doing all of this it's frikking amazing stuff and sgt squarehead thanks for saving kohl's brain from permanent brain damage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 all is well that ends well, enjoy the scenarios. PM me if you see anything you need fixed. I feel like a 1 armed paper hanger. Am I even allowed to say that in 2022? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 My videocard died and so I am DIW (dead in the water for you sea faring types) I was you-tubing and saw a video on a board game for Italians in N. Africa. I think I will conjure up a scenario for Free French @gregb41352 being attacked by Italians. @boygarvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
