I am thinking of re installing this game, how many here play it and do you play the other two which are the British and marines ?

I have it, and have both modules, but after discovering CMBB and CMAK, I don't even play it any more. I find it too unbalanced in favor of the US. They have too much technology, firepower, and it is to one sided. I suppose I am also more interested in WW2 than modern day, that could have a bit to do with it.

Try a tank battle M1 vs. T-90 and you'll think differently. I lost ALL of my M1s and I didn't get better than a 1:1 kill ratio. ATGMs are a major pain, too - those things can kill your vehicle from about 2km away if you're unlucky and the moment you notice something is when your vehicles blow up. And if you have to attack properly fortified positions it's still pretty tough for the US forces, artillery and/or air support mostly helpin to suppress the enemy but certainly not killing everyone.
You need some getting used to the setting, though, thats correct. And you shoukd play it ONLY on the two highest difficulty settings so you're properly challenged - once you do that, you'll see your men dwindle away faster than you can say: 'Have I done something wrong...?' because one error usually means a fulls quad gets wiped out in a few seconds or a vehicle gone. And even a T-62 can take out a M1.

Does that CMSF run on Window's XP ?

Definitely. I will be using XP until either a) no more rivers are made for anything or b) new gardware doesn't work anymore with it. I guess that'll give me about 4-5 years minmum to still use it.
My Feeling's exactly, While there is a man round the corner who can keep XP repaired and running that's good for me

I found the action very fast and very accurate. Tank battles in CMAK are slower with lower hit ratios which in my view make them more interesting.
