Thanks for narrowing it down, that 40:0 setup was added at the last minute and it sounds like there's an issue with it. We'll look at this for the first update.

I'm sorry that was your first experience, I hope it's smooth sailing from here on!

At the moment the stats are in the game for almost every vehicle that took part in the War in the East. Some of the models didn't get finished in time for the release. The Nashorn is one of those that didn't get finished but I know that there is work being done on one.

Now, when the modder's here get started on the game then we will see some more works of art.....because the modder's we have on the Development Team did wonders with the work they did on these vehicles already.....[&o] [&o] [&o]

I decided to take the plunge. Highly doubt I'll be disappointed. Download was fast. Install may take longer than download though!

Not worried about how it will run on my system. As for CMBN I'm probably going to get it, but for some reason its not a must have the first day sort of thing. For those who mentioned the RTS aspect of it is a turn off, I can say from the Shockforce series the RTS is very different and can be a challenge. In shockforce you can set it to be turned based-which makes it a completely different game. Don't know if that will be the case with CMBN.

Anyway back to PC Ostfront...I t looks like it finished installing.

AWESOME! You have got to try the scenario "The farm" designed by the Mad Russian. It's pretty wild.

MR has a boat load of scenarios that he is working on. During development we kept getting new builds before he could finish them and the changes caused him to start over with some of them. He has the patience and perseverance of a saint and the talent to make maps and battles.

Good thing I went and checked that scenario before responding to you. It's actually called "Buying the Farm" and I was surprised when you gave me the credit for making it.

I did 3 things with that scenario.

1) Named it.
2) Helped pin down the map location for Mobius.
3) Playtested it for Mobius to make sure the balance was good.

How my name got on the credits I don't know but I can't take credit for this one, but I'll agree with you that it's a really good scenario.

Without a doubt this scenario is Mobius' work.

One really easy way to tell if the scenario was done by me is the unit ID names. I use actual commander names and not unit numbers for the ID's. And I usually put my name as the scenario designer too. [:)]

I'm just not used to getting credit for work I didn't do as in this case. [:-]

Thanks...I'll give it a try, but for now I have to plod through the tutorial scenario to learn the ins and outs.

I running a system with dual monitors and have to CTRL-ESC out of the game and back onto Windows Desktop to get to the second monitor where I can scroll through the .pdf. Not a big deal.
