<t> on the same theme..........if not in contact will a unit on hold orders continue to improve its position over ensuing command cycles?<br/>
<br/>
also generally , although units receive individual orders do HQ's further co-ordinate sub units without without further human input? they appear to ...

<t> Just thought I"d join the fan boy club and add my hearty congratulations,really impressive effort. good enough to relegate the latest offering from another well known franchise ( purchased of course ) to an at ease posture on my hard drive. 30 hours plus now of game time and not a single ...

great thing about the game is its qiuck!........dont have to book into a monastary to play the bloody thing!

3d would be great for sure , i use the LOS tool constantly and get a pretty good feel for it

<t> excellent reb , thankyou. It is a hell of a piece of work (the toolbar that is) , dont think youve gotten enough credit for it. Im an old lurker coming in from the cold but have been with the game since "take command days" Im familiar with your contribution to the game from the norbsoft forums ...

<t> Had your toolbar a while reb - highly recommended - although i must admit i didnt realise the above functionality - the split keys are a bit of a spin to. Just wondering if there is a thread or otherwise explaining fully all your new commands. its been six months since i got into sow and coming ...

<t> I try to work on de-evolving the tc function if you will. My fav command level is div. First thing I do is hit the OB button , scrolling across and Tcing all brigade and battery commanders. You then respond as the situation develops,obviously( once im fully engaged all brigades will be unTcd ...

I know it flies in the face of accepted wisdom , but effective use of TC is the trick. develop your own SOPs and after hundreds of hours of practice it all becomes second nature, the game is superb !!

just wondering if you can now allocate specialist steps prior to turn start , i found that a ridiculous limitation in the original .... otherwise great game.

<t> a couple of quick observations<br/>
<br/>
the tc button is your freind , when to use it is a key imo.<br/>
<br/>
there are some great toolbar mods which will give extra command options ( when you're ready )<br/>
<br/>
a level of micro-management is , in my opinion , required .<br/>
<br ...

thanks for the education gents , great stuff.

armoured brigade . free download , real potential. by the way , war in the pacific makes war in the east look like a walk in the park. a massive undertaking

only 2 choices , gettysberg or chancellorville , the others are map packs for the original gettysberg. if i was you id go with gb, just make sure u patch to latest version. fantastic franchise and u wont be dissappointed. combat mission for the civil war !

system shines on small i reckon

thanks gents . I actually found your thread VR which was prettty much all i needed. classic is definiteley the way to go !!

<t> going to try classic using 1.8 but the e- manual seems a little lite on. i get the general guist but could someone explain how the the extra command buttons function ie stall etc. Also adding extra aps to next turn initiative ? <br/>
any other tips would be appreciated.<br/>
<br/>
thanx in ...

thx reb , 1.45 i think. seems fairly current

<t> well . just a tad different and loving it. breath of fresh air. from the over the top splash screen to being dealt a rubbish hand ( auto rally and a mine defuse ? who dealt this garbage). missing on the 85%er, trying to track the phases etc. <br/>
indeed it is very nuanced. my one concern is ...

<t> thankyou lads. home from work and currently downloading. the more i look into this the more intrigued i am. what i love about cm is that i can play what i see in front of me, intuitively. seems coh is considerably more subtle than that. any ways see how we go, by the way reb your avatar is ...

<t> thanx reb....much appreciated. in answer to your question , no im not a table top guy , strictly pc gaming since 1990. im aware coh owes its heritage to that genre. Some time ago i downloaded and breifly played one of the battlefield command games and to be frank was completely underwhelmed ...
