RE: Refund

<t> I feel my comments have been taken as way more severe than meant to. This problem afflicts a few scenarios, this was just the one most vivid in my memory. Unfortunately I see a tendency in briefings to avoid being 'technical' (maybe fear of losing immersion?) but it is better to break character ...

RE: Refund

<r> There are several instances but the one I remember most vividly because there were 2-3 instances just in this one scenario was Canary Cage (bad with names and memory, the one you play as Spain against North African states). I think there was a case of landing a recon unit that the instructions w...

RE: Refund

<t> Well I didn't know that saying that some scenario briefings are incomplete was synonymous to attacking the scenario designer community or asking/expecting something to be done about it [&:]<br/> <br/> It is just a shame to play a scenario for upwards of 20-30 hours (I am a micromanaging frea...

RE: Refund

<t> First of all I have only played scenarios under the "Standalone Scenarios" folder. Are these official game scenarios or not?<br/> <br/> Second, I would expect anyone who is smart enough to write a scenario for CMANO, good enough to be distributed with the game, to not require feedback on somethi...

RE: Refund

<t> CMANO is (thankfully) not for everyone. It takes significant commitment and interest in the subject to get into this game. Even in my group of tabletop wargamer friends very few would even consider touching it. This is why I like it. Realism over user-friendliness and over-simplification. There ...

RE: B538 1/3rd Mission Rule

Were the helicopters of the same type and loadout? I don't know if it is still the case but I think at some point the 1/3 rule only applied to exactly identical platforms.

RE: In-flight Refueling

<t> There is an RoE (I think it is called "Use Air Refuelling") that can be used to tell aircraft if they should use tankers for air refualling or not.<br/> <br/> I keep this off by default and only turn it on for a unit when I specifically want that unit to use air refualling. To my experience that...

I go over all the AI options at the start of every scenario so I am good either way. [8D]

RE: [B507] can't attack surfaced submarine

I could be wrong but I think CMANO works with classes of targets. If the weapon is not designated as useable against submarines it does not matter if it is surfaced or not.

RE: RTB ordered groups dissolve and rewrite RoE

<t> I guess when the group is dissolved the individual members inherit the side RoE rather than the (now defunct) group RoE. I can imagine cases where a player could want either (I would generally want the side RoE to take effect when removing a unit from a group or mission, but in some cases, such ...

RE: Canary's Cage 0 points

<t> Apparently, the landing ships must enter the landing zone and then lunch the smaller landing craft that must then reach the smaller landing area. Additionally the landing zone Ref points are set in the sequence 2134 instead of 1234 which, based on how the graphic displays for mission areas, woul...
