Haven't posted for ages but still follow these threads and still play the game/simulation. Anyway, for those of us who are interested (obsessed) with WW2 listen to Al Murray, James Holland and John McManus on the podcast We Have Ways - you won't be disappointed. And to my old friend Gunnar...

Trying to work out whether German ammo boxes have a capacity of 250 or 300rnds. Any ideas, I've come across both amounts. Regards Tim

Just a quick question. The 25pdr has aper to a range of 3,000m and bombard to a range of 12,250m. Why have aper for this weapon? Regards Tim

PIAT etc. has two types of round, HE and AP. The reality is only one HEAT round fulfilled both AP and HE capabilities . Can the real life multi-purpose round (i.e. HE and AP capability) be modelled in Command Ops? Regards Tim

Ioncore, thanks for your explanation of Steam. More questions but don't want to clog up the main forums so thought I'd post here. In modding estabs I'd often get a version that wouldn't save, so I always created backups. Can you still do this? If so, again, where do they sit? If I open an estab...

Probably been debated on numerous sites but as we're all under lockdown thought it might be nice for people here to have a go. Some questions: 1) The 'need' to use the expensive (especially in terms of elite personnel) airborne units before the war ends was compelling, otherwise why have...

Been in contact with David Heath and he basically says it’s not his problem. I had to to an install on a new machine. What happens is that when I reinstall I see Scenario and Map Maker. When I try and use them they don’t work and then disappear from my computer. Tim.

Just a quick question, how is this calculated? What I mean is that an MG or an artillery piece has a theoretical rate of fire; max, medium, slow etc. How does this translate to the game? So for instance rapid fire for a 25pdr is, according to Wikipedia, 4 rounds a minute. Regards Tim

Can I in the estab editor assign fuel transport to specific units or can I assign both to a specific unit. Regards Tim

Hi again Gunnar, in a previous thread you mentioned that IG18 guns were sometimes concentrated into one unit (I may have this wrong). What about the kurtzer GR42 8cm mortar? would these have been concentrated into a single unit on occasions as well? Regards Tim

Can someone remind me where all the manuals (map maker etc.) are please. Thanks. Regards Tim

A couple of suggestions: A 153 Sexton Bty should be renamed 129 (P) Bty 153 Fld Rgt; Guards units were numbered not lettered and in July '44 the number of British light AA trps were cut to reflect the much lessened occurrence of German aircraft over the battlefield. Regards Tim

Something I've wanted for a long time is to set at-start ammo and fuel levels. Meaning that there is no provision to simulate stockpiled ammo or fuel in the game at the moment. Regards Tim

After Caen was bombed by the Allies during the Normandy campaign two unintended consequences occurred - one, defence of the city itself by the Germans became easier; two, once captured by the Allies movement through the city became more difficult until the rubble had been cleared. Two immediate...

At the moment this is not modelled, but how easy/difficult would this be to implement? Obviously this feature would be extremely useful in any scenario that includes a seaborne invasion (Europe, North Africa or Far East). I wonder if this could be modelled in a similar fashion to the way air...

This is a really difficult question to answer, but I'm particularly interested in any of you who might have any ideas of what the situation regarding this was in the WTO from Normandy until the fall of Germany. I have a pretty good idea of the official figures but does anyone have a better...

Dave I modified the estabs for the last version of the game (i.e. prior to the current ) and all appeared fine. However with the latest (5.1.24) I get crashes ('Command Ops has stopped working'). When I use the original estabs that came with the game I have no problems (at least I don't think...

Currently in the game refuelling units for the Allies are represented by 2 and a half ton tankers (bowsers). I'm struggling to find evidence that bowsers were used in this capacity and for the British distribution of petrol was carried out using 3t lorries whilst the US used the 2 and a half ton...

Don't know if any of you have tried to mod units that utilise this vehicle (such as British mortar platoons, A/T platoons etc.) but I have and have always had problems. In the past I've always assumed that I'm allocating too many small arms to that unit - I mean that if a mortar requires four...

Estab editor now appears to be working but these have stopped get an error message if I try to use them. Any ideas? Regards Tim
