Looks very nice.

Will there be a strategic map to tie the battles together or will it just be independent single missions like the original CCMT?

I'm actually glad the game was released this soon before your mod, gives you a great base and a huge head start to get down to the real business and have enough energy to do so right.

Like getting rid of the awful point system... Razz

Wow and I thought I was special... Laughing

Any idea when it'll be out?

Here's a big, complicated one that ruined my campaign:

Playing grand campaign as allies, sent my most eastern British AB BG for a quick dash to Arnhem north (one map north of the Arnhem bridge) to cut off an incoming German BG (don't recall it's name, the guys with the halftracks) fought a defensive battler against them and ended up making them retreat to the Arnhem bridge map (not the rail bridge) which wasn't occupied by any allied unit).

Now, next turn should start the night turn, but no....there's still one battle left....at the Arnhem bridge! (German BG fighting itself I guess..?) I click next and the game crashes...every single time.

My Grand Campaign went down the drain.

Haven't met any of those, but here's what I've seen so far:

1. Sometimes unit won't obey move path, i.e if I give certain waypoints they'll just skip them and run all the way to the last waypoint.

2. If a unit has a waypoint near the edge of the map it'll just get stuck there for the rest of the mission.

Is it timer based?

I thought it's just like a button to press.

I had bridges blown up a sec. before I take them, sometimes with the troops actually on them...

I don't see it that way.

In that case I vote for having giant fire spewing robots.

C'mon, the devs didn't research and worked their arses off to dismiss it with "it's just a game, it's not supposed to be accurate"

Yeah I know that, but it clashes with something and still isn't enables...

Don't you remember the thread I opened a while ago...?

Well I've been playing since '97(?? CC5...) and always fantasized about it... when I saw how TLD almost made it I felt it shouldn't be too much to ask I mean all the connections between the beachheads are already there, the maps are already made, just needs some permission from the makers and stick it in there (well, not that easy but you know what I mean...).

Now that I understand the game is limited to only 64 maps I understand it's not possible.

As far as playing on every map and how the game is always narrowed into the same maps:

1) TLD's start map is very narrow, which bottleneck's you into playing the same maps all the time, there's only 1 advance route per each allied BG, there's no room to maneuver at all.

Unlike the wider start maps of WaR and CC5 (and GJS) which actually allows maneuvering, the fact that it's so short on turns also contributes to it.

You'll usually play the paratroops' maps, the beach map and the "last" maps.

2) The retreat function which showed up on WaR and then vanished on TLD makes the game harder, funner and makes you play almost every map out there, I wish someone could figure out already how to enable it on TlD as well...

Only 64 maps?! that sucks....isn't there any way around it..?

I checked out Ground Tactics (also mentioned it in the original post and said it was great), but what I'm suggesting is making it dependent on maps, as far as I can remember the Germans only had batteries in St. Germain, Azevile, behind Pont Du Hoc and in Merville.
If the Allies take a map the Germans loose an artillery strike.

Nothing..? really...? Sad

These ideas shot to my head immediately after first seeing TLD, ain't no way I'd ever be able to implement them, but (in my very unexperienced mind) they don't sound like too much for the average modder.
I'd be glad if anyone's able to pick up the glove, I think the entire community could benefit from it and if not, well, I can keep on dreaming Very Happy

1. The first thing I was pissed (yeah...actually got me mad) is seeing that the game has taken some from the original CC5, some from the bloody Omaha and some from GJS and of course some new stuff.

But why, why only some?!

Imagine how great it could be if all 3 where united, all the maps we have in our community storage from all 3 mods, basically the entire Normandy area to play with, from Utah to Cherbourg, from Omaha to Treviers and from GJS to beyond Caen.
From the night of June 5th-6th until July 1st.

2. How about letting the Germans start out with Heavy artillery as default (heavy artillery as in the great ground combat mode) and making it dependent on which maps that have had actual Artillery batteries on they can defend?

For example only, heaving the Germans start out with 4 Artillery barrages per day as default, but if the American airborne are able to take out St. Germain they will be reduced to 3, if Azeville is taken it'll be reduced to 2, if the Marville battery is taken then 1, if the Rangers can reach the RN-13 Highway beyond Pont Du Hoc then 0.

Is it at all possible to mode?

Well, that's it so far, if this thread gains some interest by the pro's I'd probably be remembered of all my other dreams...

I wish... Wink
