  1. Ironic that the “he planned the campaign and the war was won” argument for Monash could be applied to Montgomery. Blackcat – threads like this are what the forum was made for For what it’s worth, I think the main tactical innovations for the Allies in WWI was the use of tanks, first used 1915, and the rolling barrage, which was in effect by the end of 1916. Neither they nor their deployment were affected much by Monash.
  2. It's crunch time. They're working at least 18 hours a day 7 days a week and dreaming CM. They won't even know it IS Easter.
  3. noob - you should put a link to your website in your footer mate.
  4. Yep, it keeps the overheads to something manageable. The more action spots a unit covers the more it affects the spotting calculations. As you say, other effects have been tuned to allow for this.
  5. It's a good idea mate but I think it's probably down the road a bit for most people. I'd imagine the majority will want to get a few battles in before they think of stitching them together. Not that you should give up on it - but understand that it may not be peoples highest priority yet
  6. Sorry, my bad. Won't happen again. ...now where did I leave that Tiger...
  7. As a tip, if you get Google's Chrome browser and view a page in a foreign language it offers a translate function. Works OK, not perfect of course.
  8. Well there's where you're wrong Phil: US Marines splurge on Brit troops' armoured pants.
  9. A word on viruses (viri?). There's a difference between CM mods, maps, scenarios etc and mods for different games. CM content doesn't get installed - it's never ran, it's interpreted by the game. Scenarios are loaded etc. Just make sure if they are zipped/RAR'd they get unpacked by the correct software. Other games mods are installed - therefore they are ran by the PC, therefore they have a chance to install cack. Operator vs operand. Different thing, different potential for naughtyness.
  10. I have a HP EliteBook 8440 with an SSD, i7 with dedicated nVidea graphics. It’s got the magnesium/aluminium enclosure (magnesium alloy chassis) so feels nice under the fingers. Everything looks jolly nice on it. One thing though is the screen aspect ratio, which is 1600 x 900 and so a little lacking in the Y axis – make sure you check that when you're buying.
  11. d/t, yes, I read the same comment, hence mine above.
  12. Re-processing waste can take the dangerous life of it down to 50 years apparently and LFTRs don’t produce any. Of course if you really, really want to get rid of it just bury it in a tectonic subduction zone and watch it return to the mantle. Your first quote there is factually wrong in at least one respect – the earthquake that hit Japan was a one in a thousand year occurrence. TBH, I wouldn’t give the vox-pop from any article any credence, it will just get us into tit-for-tat cross posting and reference checking, e.g. I've read that particular comment countered on something like p24 where it gives completely different figures for decommissioning. I don't have time to do that unfortunately.
  13. Not as relevant as The unpalatable truth is that the anti-nuclear lobby has misled us all , George Monbiot.
  14. That's because that's how it already works in CM2. I disagree - I want a QB to be a ding-dong, all out slugfest. The higher the VL points, the more energetic the players are going to be to get them. The dullest type of QB is when there's two evenly matched VLs and the player camps theirs and recces forward. As a Liverpool fan it reminds me too much of the Houllier years *shudder*.
  15. PC:O sounds like Oasis to CMs Beatles. Oh and Blur for me.
  16. CM:BN runs sweet on W7b64. And by sweet I mean kick-your-mom-in-the-face awesome.
