Re: The Great Lakes inaccessible to ships?

I just had this discussion on Steam about making inland water ways usable for ships. This can now be done by using the Custom Environmental Zone (CEZ) feature. I was able to create such a zone around the coast of Lake Huron and by making it "water." Ships will now follow plotted courses and ...

Adding a Port?

How do I add a port to the map? I tried to put in a port in Canada but I can't find a port when trying to add a unit.

Steam Version does not fully shut down

I play CMO on Steam and recently when I Exit the game Stean shows the "X Stop" box and hangs. If I click on the Stop box it changes to "Stopping" but nothing happens. If I shut down Steam normally and then bring it back up, it still shows CMO as "Stopping." The only way I can get it to fully shut ...

Extra Pixels in Menu text

I just installed the Steam versions of Final Blitzkrieg and Fortress Italy. On all the menu texts I get extra gray pixels either on the text or in between letters making them difficult to read. Also, in Fortress Italy, the map names over the towns and just have the text twice, white text and then ...

Re: A couple of questions re maps

I would like to make a map of the Pristina International Airport and surrounding area. Is there a way to import map data from say Google Earth or similar map programs to make the map.

I tried doing the above suggestion but simply don't know w how to do the elevations for starters.

Re: Some Quick Observations



Thanks for the answers. As to multiple monitors, the cursor does not stop at the edge of the monitor the game is on where the next monitor is set to be 'connected," the cursor just moves on to the next monitor and thus edge map scrolling does not work unless you precisely stop moving the mouse ...

Allow making the font larger. I have this running on a 50-inch TV and the font is hard to read at that scaling.


Have you increased the preferred UI scale in the settings launcher?

Some Quick Observations

I just downloaded the game and played the first tutorial to see how it plays and looks great.

It looks great and seems it will be a seamless transition from AB I.

Some things to consider: (if there is a way to do these, please let me know.

Re: What is your SOP setting?

I also don't have a standard sop setting. I've now gone to tuning the sop at every mission order. This does take longer but ensures that the units are more likely to do what I want. Too often I have found that units have a setting that does not fit the mission even if you set a standard one at the ...

Thanks, possibly an oversight on my account. I'll take a look at it.

Re: Paddy's Bridge Scenario


Hi,
Being a Brit I was excited to see this. Unfortunately it fails to load, reporting the scenario was made with a later version of the game 420 vs 413 and then a fatal error loading the scenario data file. I'm using 2.1.3.7735 which is awaiting some bug fixes for the campaign games.

Thanks, I now got it. I was looking in the subunit inspector menu but all had to do was look down to "Define Ammunition Loadouts" and click that.

FASCAM/ICM Loadouts

I'm setting up a scenario where the US will need to have FASCAM, but I can't figure out how to have the M109s have that munition. How do I get them to have FASCAM or ICM?
