Uh… uhm. What?

HAHAHHAHAHAH Now it makes sense! :laughing:

Luckily the games works just fine, I even started an AAR!
Now… if I could unlock the same Achievement as @BeachAV8R and have myself days that last 48 hours I’d be set!

Thanks for the heads up, I’ve been thinking I should get some of the expansions for the added features for a while now. Guess it’s time to do so.

I have 60 hrs in this game. I resoundingly SUCK at it. But my god I love it. Its my go to game to calm myself and engage my brain. Love it.

Yep, I have more hours than you but I get destroyed a lot. I got so frustrated with my lack of skill that I went out and purchased naval tactics and strategy books so I can try and understand how to fight these naval and air assets. When I feel like a grand scale, dramatic strategy game involving naval and air operations I go to this gem of a simulator every time. :slightly_smiling_face:

Use missions and let the AI handle things. Real world there are a lot of professionals taking care of things you have to handle in the sim, so don’t be afraid to pause to issue orders and sort out what’s happening.

Notes from Ian McNeil in the forum (The King is Back - Page 2 - Matrix Games Forums)
Just to answer some of the common questions

  • All CMANO scenarios can be loaded in to CMO, so you will to play all your existing scenarios. The aim is to have CMO recognise your installed DLC for CMANO so all the content you already bought will just appear in CMO, assuming we can iron out all the technical wrinkles to make that happen!
  • All base game scenarios from CMANO are being updated to add support for new features and generally improve them in CMO.
  • CMO uses a new file format so while you can load up CMANO scenarios on CMO, you wont be able to take CMO scenarios back to CMANO.
  • There will be a significant incentive for players who want to upgrade from CMANO to CMO, so you will not be paying the full price if you already own CMANO. Details TBD.

Ok i may not of read this properly. This…might not be great. I’ve bought all the expansions and paid full price for the original game. We will have to wait and see about this as I thought it was just an update to cmano.

I expect, this will also work for Steam - at the moment you also have the option to ‘complete your collection’ - but we will see.
