James Crowley Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Since the mechanics for CMBB and CMAK are essentially the same and this is likely to be the most viewed forum at this time, I thought I would post my query here. According to the manual, when you import a saved game map (via the final auto save) you are given the choice of also importing the surviving troops. I'm not finding that that this is happening; all I'm getting is the original map sans damage. What am I doing wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 You can only import troops from pre-made scenarios or from battles which are FINISHED (i.e. saved from the AAR screen). Games in progress do not import troops. This is done to prevent cheating IIRC. This is clarified in the CMAK manual. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Crowley Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Moon Thanks for the quick reply. I realised that you could only import from finished battles (from the AAR screen) and that is what I have been trying to do, without success. Bizarrely, just after posting I had another attempt and, hey presto, the "do you want to import troops" screen popped-up, for the first time. Enboldened, I tried to do a repeat performance but no pop-up screen after three more go's. Could this be a problem with my machine or a random bug? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Odd. Send me the file you're trying to import to martin@battlefront.com I just noticed that you mentioned above that you get the map without damage? Are you sure you're loading the save game and not the original scenario file or something? The damage should remain when you load a map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Crowley Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 This is a bit embarrassing. Now both of the files I was trying to import, with troops,have sucessfully been transferred. And yet I did nothing different :confused: Best put it down to age; if my brain was a horse you'd take it out and put it out of it's misery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
