Hannibal Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 IF you take Combat mission out of the mix it looks like I have 3 options .The John Tiller Squad battle games.Theather of war looks like a pretty detailed rts and last but not least Panzer command Cmbat mission lite .Anyone have any other suggestions .I am kind of leaning toward the John Tillersereis but it engine looks old,does it play smooth ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordJ Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 lock and load: heroes of stalingrad is another option for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Do you only play with yourself? <snicker> If so, I have no suggestions. If not, then I'd recommend ASLSK via VASL. Once you go "manual piece manipulation", you won't go back. <more snickers> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 JTCS is enjoyable but is platoon scale. Plays like a minis game with a few abstractions. JTSB is board game like but seems to have a following. I don't have it but keep looking at it. There are 3 Steel Panthers variants for free but not sure about Vista. Do you have Panzer Command or just feel that it is CM lite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Do not have Panzer Command but have seen many reffer to it as Combat Mission lite . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Go to Matrix forums and read the CM vs PCK threads. Some like it, some don't. You could wait for the CMx2 WWII version. Or get a cheap XP computer just for CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketil Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sean O'Connor's Firefight? Not a bad little game, haven't tried running it on Vista yet though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 CMSF runs on Vista just fine, as long as you have a video card which correctly provides pre-DX10 support (most do, some Nvidia cards seem not to). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Do the CMx1 titles not work on Vista or are you just looking for something newer? Every day I find more reasons to avoid Vista. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Vista only breaks CM in combination with a DX10 video card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 That is the current issue. A few days ago in the CMC forum I read that the ATI drivers are now working properly. DX 10 GeForce seems to be the only problem now which may be resolved in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
