It is the 4 th battle on the battles list called Alam Nayil

It isn't just the fourth battle. It happens now and then in the GC also. I've tracked it down to depend on what teams you chose for your BG and on which slots you put them. In my experience, this is due to some kind of error in the team .adb-files, probably in the "unknown" columns.

I've been getting intermittent crashes too (but similar things happen in other mods) I've haven't been able to locate it.

Thus far the other things i've seen in terms of the raw coding that I was wondering about is that Italian mortar squads can't smoke. Is that on purpose? The mod is neat but the enormous fire power of the command teams make it a little too easier against the AI under any circumstances. I wish the mine fields were a bit deadlier for tanks too. I like the strat map and the incredible attention to graphic detail.

I rarely make any suggestions regarding mods because I don't want to seem like an ungrateful jackass, these are all minor changes and just based on my preferences, so don't take them too seriously becaus I really love this mod.

I would change Some sounds,

Since the Axis Attack/ Brit Attack/ Meeting Engagement splash screens have all the same image, I woudl vary that up a bit,

I like stronger mines, strong barrages, (a la Sapa or Firefox Mods)
(this would allow for weaker command team barrages)

I would (and this part is the most time consuming pain in the butt) I would add battle breifing with info on how the historical battle played out.

The last one especially could be farmed out to players willing to help.

This I do like a lot include :
the agressiveness of British teams (I've ad some incredible fights) The unpredictability of Italian teams (I've had units fight to the death and others surrender over nothing.) The variety of teams and vehicles are great, the graphics are awesome. The maps allow for great play and the mine are well placed to keep it very exciting. I think the thing I like most about this mod is that like, RSR, it requires a different kind of CC stratgey.

Thanks again!

I will try to answer:
- Mod crashes when loading a battle.
These crashes are random and they will happen in every mod. Just try again.
I noticed that after 2-3 attempt it will work (also with the same BG).
Nobody knows why this happens.
- Mod crashes in GC. I played the mod during 1 year. This is happened never to me (Maybe just 1 time).
- Italian mortar squads can't smoke
I put away smoke in many italian teams, because they used smoke rarely.
- change Some sounds
you are welcome, this can be done for next release of the mod
- splash screens
I did'nt find good images, please I wait for your proposals
- battle breifing
Too few free time for this, please help!

Thanks to all of you for compliments!!!

I've began a grand campaign recently (and just interrupted my RSR campaign for this one) and no crash happended until now.

And I agree with Antifa about the different CC strategy. These open maps are deadly for vehicles and guns, but the great infantry concealment gives us bad surprises sometimes, and these deadly british teams made more damage to my BGs than any tank or gun did. The rare buildings are so worthy when you have to place guns too. They provide better protection and concealment than any hedge or house in regular CC5 (or GJS or Omaha).

There is only one thing that bothers me. These bigger graphics are nice but tanks are so easy spotted now that's it's sometimes too easy to play against the AI if you have well-placed AT guns.

All in all, thanks for this good mod, and these kind of new ideas are really fine for CC5, because playing on these hedge maps again and again is boring after some time. Mods like El Alamein and Winter War are really exciting and will keep our interest for CC5 alive for a few years more IMO.

The bigger tank graphics do not affect how easy it is to see a tank in a battle. The CC game engine just uses the terrain and tank data.... A tank could be drawn at 20 pixels per meter and you would have the same chance to see it as a tank at the original 8 pixels per meter.

Tejszd,

thx for that info, something i didn't know

[Mr_Nuke]

Well, I got another strange error. I think I've already heard of it but I didn't manage to find the post again.
When loading a battle on the map "Settore K", with 61 Rgt Fanteria against the 5th Infantry Brigade, playing on italian side (british attack), I have the following error:

"Unable to continue the play because disk is full. Clear some space on this dirve and resume Close Combat"

My disk has more than 20 Go free on 40 and I run windows XP home edition SP2. I never had this kind of problem before.

Thanks in advance for any help! I hope to keep playing this campaign on since I really appreciate this mod.
