All I can say is THANKS... after over a year of only playing in a window, 3 patches or so ago. Full screen is finally working for me again.

Not really a big deal, but still nice to be able to "be in the game" fully, take clean screens, video clips, and broadcast again.

(Could before but it just looked unprofessional. lol)

Rather just fix it since it worked fine before patch, instead of waiting and bothering you. Will do a new re-install then if no luck will contact you.

I installed .357 new so only downloaded the new patch... install seemed to go fine, even updating the dongle. Restarted PC and go to start SB and get this error? Any ideas or work around, if not then will completely uninstall and re-install everything fresh later.

Thx for any info/advice.

On this mission I just downloaded. I ordered troops to move forward to the trenches, but not all of them moved into the trench in a tactical position. Some laid next to it, some in, some in halfway. (Action started almost immediately, wish the troops would have started in the trenches from the get-go, ordered that in the plan and same problem.)

Is there a way to order troops to "mount" the trenches so they get in, get tactical, and stay in?  Thx.

You made me go look to see if I missed a patch or two, lol... v4.375.   

Missing B25... not seeing which that one is. Then I will have all of your great missions, well most are great some are just insane for my skill level. lol

Guess I'll ask here also... was wondering if it was possible to edit the gun range map... like to replace one of the early T-72's with the newer one... kinda surprised the M60 A3 has a spot on the gun range and in the instant action but not the T-72-B3.

Great teaching mission just completed it. Was fun and taught some good basics, like how it ended up being a multiple platoon engagement at the end. Made it feel like you were just a small part of something bigger. Looking forward to the follow ups.

Excuse my ignorance, thou I've been playing SB since the beginning I've always been a casual gamer, doing platoon size type missions only. Rarely use the mission editor except to try out a new unit or something basic.

I know the basics of mission editing thanks to one of Mirzayev's videos on his You Tube, like changing the German tank for the M1A1 and now the M60A3, which I'm trying to learn. Like the first screen, but I'm getting slaughtered in mission due to the enemy force. Is there an easy way to replace those forces with equal weapon platforms for the M60, without messing with the AI control orders. Since I have no clue how to do any of that, I just know how to place static units.

Thanks for any help... just trying to get some basic missions for the two new tanks.

How'd Desert Strike treat you?

Great... full completion without issue. I reviewed it on your download page. Thx.

Doing time today with the new version...

Don't want to search 24 pages so sorry if asked before... is their updated documentation for the new systems, mainly the drone type weapons since there's no tutorial, demo, or mission for any that I see.  Thanks.

New effects are awesome. One hell of a battle here. Still can't play in full screen, which I didn't expect to be fixed since it's not an engine update or anything, was just hoping so I have to edit out my window.

Please hurry... I've been craving some SB action... When I first heard about the new update and did my pre-order, I deleted the last version to give me a break from it for a while and to make sure I got a good clean new install when released... was fine for about a week then started wanted to play again. I'm getting the shakes and cold sweats! lol

Some of those new toys look complicated, out of the norm... hope there's some new tutorials or how to missions... demo missions. imo

Can't wait...

I've been following the Switchblade suicide drones since first seeing them used in the unnecessary war in Ukraine, and fascinated by their use and power... so glad to see them coming... Now I'm excited, told myself the last major update was my last. Just pre-ordered the upgrade. 🙂

Did you want me to start you Combat Mission style - ie - taking mass amounts of fire as soon as you press Start?

Not what I'm saying... it's just a couple missions for example when the insurgence is hitting the airport... the idiot AI trying to get out of that fenced in area is bumping into each other and causing a buildup and delay, then I usually get 1 or 2 vehicles out engaging on their own while back up is still trying to get out of the camp. lol

Just a quick thanks for all the scenarios... I'm downloading and playing them all with no problem, all well done and thought out. My only minor complaint is some of the scenarios start positions, but I can work with that, just takes a while to get out of an area to get into the battle that already started. Thanks for your hard work.

Pretty cool... not sure how your doing all that. Where are you getting those camera views and order issues with the 3/4 top down view? What's voice attack? all new to me.  Interesting.

NEVERMIND, you answered my questions in your you tube description.  

Damn, slow down Ben, lol... every time I come to the site there's a new one to download and try, lol... and I appreciate it.

Did you bring them into the repair zone?

Yes, that's what I thought you do... but nothing happened, didn't know if I was suppose to activate the repair some how.

OK, after another run... I got to ask, did you plan this in the mission... when I leave the base there is no damage, then once in the battlefield area both tanks main guns get damaged... So the intent is to drive all the way back to base that I just left to get a repair???

Thanks for the missions... love them, just wondering.

Hey Striker... mission 3... how's that repair work, both my tanks main guns are damaged and can't control the 113 (I believe that's what it is away from game now) repair vehicle. Thx. (Great set of missions BTW.) Probably user error... don't think I ever repaired a tank before just towed it away.  

Thanks much appreciated... ya I got what I wanted with the MLRS. lol

Playing within the mission editor, checking out other vehicles and platforms rarely seen or used I saw the MSLR and loved watching that fire in real life. It's not off map artillery, so just for fun how can you make that fire? And while I'm here... I know I can make attack helicopters fly nap of the earth or treeline, but how or can you make them stop short and pop up to engage enemy then pop back down, right now they fire off a missile or two then get shot down... again just for fun, curiosity.  

OH, and I want some MP vehicles. (military police) hey during the cold war we had a DIP mission... Die In Place... be a speed bump for the Russians.  lol

US ARMY COMBINED ARMS is a lot more vague, telling me that I have a "small force of US forces." I'm assuming that is a company-sized element, but unless I download the scenario I have no idea based on the description. I have to click on the scenario in question to read the blurb about a "small force of US forces."

And to answer the original post even more... this mission is my current favorite and the maker did ALOT of work... got to give him credit for that. It's a huge mission but all the units already have there paths and objectives... so if you just want to run 1 tank, or a platoon then you can. If you want to watch the battle unfold as a scout you can, if you want to simply run an AT gun or a Infantry squad, or a Bradley... you can. The mission is complete, it's a full show that you can jump in and take control of what you want.

I understand the posters point... as I get order I can't sit in this gaming chair for more then an hour or so... I like to just get in, run a platoon or whatever, then finish in a timely manner... so there are missions for that, as mentioned. Good Luck.
