Thanks for that.

Very interested to hear what they´re planning for this great series.

So, it´s been 4 months or so since the announcement that Matrix Games is taking over the CM series.

Have there been any indications yet from Matrix about what their plans are for the future of the series?

Apologised if I´ve missed something.

Steam wants a beta access code.

Where do I find this?

Thanks, Pulig.

I actually got an answer on the more-populated Steam discussion group, which worked very well: once you load the airborne unit(s) onto the C-47s at the airfield in the top right of the map, two deployment hexes will appear near to the Carentan bridge, so you don't actually need to ...

Hi,

Just into this following recent release and am struggling to fulfil the secondary objective of blowing the railway bridge near Carentan by Turn 6.

It earns the US 400 RP, so it is worth it, but I can't work out how to achieve it by Turn 6.

Land forces can't seem to get there quickly enough ...

Thanks, EwaldvonKleist.

That brings up Notepad for me, and it's a useful tool indeed.

I often change the colour of units, so the as Axis the Corps with the best leaders get to be a darker shade than the other Corps in that army.

I like the idea of re-colouring the units into groups, e.g. all greens advancing along axis x-y-z.

Good call, thanks.

1. Take notes in text editor.

Which "text editor" are you referring to?

Loki suggestion of AARs may help, writing out your thoughts and using screenshots is helpful.


Indeed, I can see how that would be useful, Zovs.

May just be a step too far for me however in terms of process and time!

Would be lovely to be able to do something along these lines in-game, but I ...

Interesting and contrasting approaches from loki and Zovs. Thanks for those.

So, as I suspected, there is no in-game mechanism for note taking or placing markers/arrows, etc. on the map or or for making notes relevant to specific units (kind of like making comments in an Excel cell)?

Looks like I ...

I'm interested in hearing how other players make notes given the complexity of the game and the large number of units in play.

What I mean is this: personally I find it challenging to remember (especially if days elapse between turns) what my intentions were for given units or groups of units, e.g ...

Yes, we plan on putting out expansions with additional scenarios and campaigns. We're working on many now, and several of them have been in early testing for the past month or so. We aren't yet at liberty to give out additional details. In the near future we expect to be recruiting additional ...

@loki100

Thanks, good to hear.

Some of the scenarios are good for learning particularly key elements of the gameplay such as the encirclement/pocket process, and it would be good to see some more smaller scenarios that enable the player to learn about other core (and complex) concepts such as ...

I've been 'flirting' with WitE2 for a few months now and have played all the smaller scenarios thorugh multiple times from both sides using different settings, in order to get a feel for this immense game.

I have also watched all 67 episodes of First Contact Gamer's thjoroughly excellent YouTube ...

<t> Very insightful, Zovs. Thanks for doing this.<br/>
<br/>
Get well soon, and I look forward to more of this (and your Typhoon AAR) - you can teach me a lot about the whole pocketing thing, which seems to be the only way that the Axis can win any of the scenarios (haven't dared try the GC yet ...

<t> Hi Zovs,<br/>

Are you going to continue this AAR?<br/>

I ask, because I've played this scenario through a few times as the Axis and haven't done any better than a Soviet Major Victory, so I'm interested in seeing how you approach it.<br/>

Thanks, Loki.

I got the key OK, but I can't access the instructions on what to do with it.

ORIGINAL: form_d_k

What do I need to do if I follow the link to the instructions to get a Steam key, login, and get a message telling me "You are not authorised to read this forum?"

Thanks!

Same problem here
