Cancel target is tied to the delete key AFAIK. I never changed it in the alternative keys anyway.

Says you can customize unit names

No, it's in the editor and QB selection screen. -
Another First Impression

Nope, the action spots in CM1 were 20x20m. While there's something to this, it'd be nice to have more granular control, I think people are still expecting to be able to position a whole team on a pin head. You could put them exactly where you wanted them in CM1 because really, there was a single point. How are you going to get 12 men to a single point? Currently just get them as close to where you want and let the TacAI position them between within the square. Works well enough but you're never going to have 12 rifles poked over the same bit of wall. Which is realistic. -
Nope. Yep. More. Yeah, plus binos etc.

You're both right, my mistake. 56. From here. Total deaths from Fukishima - none. Source - hard green George Monbiot, in The Guardian. A) Source. 4000 times what? BTW the IAEA is just a collection of green parties from across Europe - they're not any kind of scientific body.

Good for you d/t I've not had time to read it all - tell me how you get on.

It is if you're playing Iron, you get own side FOW. I always play Elite for that very reason, to me Iron is just too much work. It's Elite plus a click.

CMx2: BfN MP impressions-here we go again

In build PBEM functionality would be brilliant. -
Never heard that when I did my electronics degree. Still, I'm sure he's correct and you should follow his advice.

Well, I can't vouch for that...

That's a bit of a bugger - probably due to overheating. Open the case up and give the fans a good hoover. Don't touch the PC with the hoover though.

And when the wind doesn’t blow? You need something else. So if you DO invest all that money in power you can't count on, what aren't you building? Like clean fossil fuel stations with carbon capture or - what I think is needed - properly built nuclear plants.

Don't forget, you can press shift-V (alternate keys) and get a 360 cover arc if you don't want to set facing.

Units overview + fast jump to the Unit

No, sorry. -
No, no, don't bail!

@Peregrine. For the alternative hotkeys included with the game I used the mnemonic approach for move and target commands as much as possible. Obviously there’s compromises, e.g. I (H)unt more than I (H)ide so (H)ide becomes (U)nder-cover. Where possible though I've grouped them, so the camera controls are bottom left of the kbd and the camera WSAD layout is preserved, just moved to the right. Note though, I use a UK keyboard so I'm not sure whether this is preserved for the everyone else. Obviously you have a different approach - why don't you create a hotkeys file, I'll host it for you and maybe let other use it? -
No, no, don't bail!
Other Means replied to GreenAsJade's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
The alternative hotkey file is very similar to the CM1 style. AFAICR it was always alt-T? -
AI hands me my ass in tutorial...
Other Means replied to elfbj97's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
That's probably the issue. Check the file hasn't been quarantined. -
The thing about solar, wind or wave power is the collecting methods take up so much land. They are unreliable, meaning there's got to be some sort of backup to them meaning huge redundancy, and they're distributed which means collecting and transmitting the energy is hugely expensive. The unreliability means that even if we blanket the country with windmills and solar collectors we'll STILL need nuclear for calm, overcast days. Have a look at this site: http://www.withouthotair.com/ from David MacKay, who in 2008 was appointed Chief Scientific Advisor to the Department of Energy and Climate Change. Here he actually does the maths on what renewables can actually do for us – even if we turn the country into a giant, passive energy collecting machine. FWIW Over the last 20 years I've seen New Scientist go from a highly respected, trustworthy magazine into "Hey kids - this is science!". I quit my subscription in disgust a few years ago.

Yep, that's the alternative hotkeys. -
It does but I think they've been updated in the later nVidea drivers.

Also, you can only fire at an angle normal to the hedge - you can't get close and fire along it.

Bocage has a low bank under it, so if you're standing in a hole you can't see over it. Foxholes/trenches look higher than they're treated by the engine, to stop them deforming the terrain mesh (and so breaking FOW). It's a compromise but the best that can be done right now.
