Bruce70 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 User-created manual "campaigns" were very popular in CM:BO and CMBB and I currently play a spreadsheet-based one of my own making for CM:BB. This is possible thanks primarily to the excellent QB generator, but it can be a little tedious to get battle results and so on. So, are there any improvements in CM:AK in this regard? i.e. have there been any changes to the QB generator? and especially have there been any changes to the AAR (a detailed table of losses, kills etc, that could be printed or screen-dumped would be very nice)? Also, have there been any changes to the operations system? Now for a short rant ... While I really enjoy the operations and single missions of CM:BO and CM:BB I feel that they are unrealistic because there is not enough incentive to preserve the life of your troops. I find it quite ironic that realism is the main reason why campaigns have not already been implemented. There are many ways to make a realistic campaign and I am still hopeful that we may see something in CM:X2 but until then I would be happy with any improvements to QBs and AARs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce70 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 bump Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word campaign in the subject line. Really I'm only interested in the QBs and AARs . Or perhaps no-one has got their copy yet, or more likely those that have are still too busy playing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Last time people campaigned about them, BFC agreed to sell the full paper manuals to European customers. So yeah, let's campaign for manuals! Down with the PDF!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce70 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 Very funny. You know very well what I am talking about... I hope Just in case it was not meant to be a joke (unlikely on this forum, but you never know), I am after information on any changes (apart from consmetic - I had better be specific this time ) to the Quick Battle system or to the battle results screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I prefer campaigns... that's why I play/continue BCR in CMBB. CMAK has no improvements on that or you would have read about it... So I'm still considering whether to buy it or not.

Sergei Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 You have seen the battle result screen in the demo, I don't think the final is going to differ. As they haven't mentioned anything new in that area either, I doubt there will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce70 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 Actually I haven't had time to download the demo yet, so thanks for the info. I didn't expect any major changes (as pointed out - I would have heard about it), I just thought there might have been some subtle differences. Oh well, I can still hope for something in X2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
