Starting COB Thu I've got 11 days off

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.

noob - you should put a link to your website in your footer mate.

Amazing LEGO dude.

You are correct in your observations. The pixeltroops do bunch together too tight. Closer than one would expect. But this is due to inherent limitations to the game. Im not as well versed, but it has something to do with the tiles and how the troops are tied to them.
One side effect of this is the arty is toned down. If a 155mm HE shell explodes in an airburst directly overhead and all troopers do not die, it is, in effect, an attempt to simulate how the troops are suppose to be properly dispersed. (As I have seen in CMSF)
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.

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

They absolutely should, yes.
Sorry, my bad. Won't happen again.
...now where did I leave that Tiger...

Regrettably true.

Now I'm doing an AAR of one scenario.
Please, feel free to visit:http://www.puntadelanza.net/Foro/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=11994
Keep on mind that this is a Beta. Some things and error will be fine in the release.
Best regards,
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.

Well--with a post count like that, I can see why you'd be over-looked.
Well...I've kind of got it already

You want to to give an example? Leaving the Navy on one side, I stuggle to think of a serious bit of world class kit we Bris have produced in recent years (Challenger 2 was probably the last and that was designed in the 1980s).
Well there's where you're wrong Phil:
-
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.

Mine's late April.
But I don't think I count.

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.

No, it's 4x4, ie. 16 sq.km.
Poop .

I disagree with this disagreement! Battlefront, please be very careful before ruining CM by turning it into an arcade game of suicidal armies and adolescent one-upmanship. Make this sort of gameplay an option, if you need to do it for commercial reasons. But please make sure all the work you've put into realism isn't ruined by forcing us into some gamey way of playing.
It's a QB. QB's aren't realistic. Besides, as noted above, it IS an option already.

d/t, yes, I read the same comment, hence mine above.

Was also going to mention - didn't Liverpool do better during the Houllier years than recently in the Hodgson years ?
Still, shouldn't talk, I support a team of proper surrender-monkeys...
I will gladly go into depressing detail in the GF if you want

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.

Not as relevant as The unpalatable truth is that the anti-nuclear lobby has misled us all , George Monbiot.

The editor will allow you to create any battle with any of the units you desire, even US vs US, or German vs German (or any combination). Map size is limited to 4km x 4km (I think... It MAY be 2km x 2km).
The mod comment above: visuals and sounds can be modded, but unit abilities cannot be modded.
I think it's 10x10km.

The argument was put forward several months ago by a number of people including myself that force preservation is a very realistic consideration and should be rewarded accordingly. This doesn't have to be an automatic mechanism, it can be left to the discretion of the scenario designer to allow for the occasional "do-or-die" situation. BFC has made no comment on this that I am aware of so they may not have gotten around to it, I don't know.

That's because that's how it already works in CM2.
Haven't seen the balance in practice with the CMx2 QBs but it would be a shame if too much emphasis is on the victory locations. I can't see how this wouldn't result in even more suicidal attacks for the sake of the VL.More importantly in the two players PBs I think it is important the battle loser gets credit with a lower victory condition than Total loss.
I have played a squillion QB MEs PBEM and I don't think I ever saw a Total Victory.
Hopefully in the next month it will be a squillion and one.
PS I saw that my preorder amount in AU$ was less than the full amount US$. Whoever is in charge of your economy keep up the good work.
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*.

PC:O sounds like Oasis to CMs Beatles.
Oh and Blur for me.

CM:BN runs sweet on W7b64. And by sweet I mean kick-your-mom-in-the-face awesome.

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.
