Heh. It's a good game as I played it - making all strides to finish. It sounds like GREAT game as others are playing it - immersing themselves in the world. Bobbleheads etc are a lighthearted distraction, not the main part of the game.

The differnece between 1.11 and Christmas?
Other Means replied to G B Scurlock's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
1.11 is worth waiting for. It never allows your hairy aunt to kiss you under anything. You don't have to invite your mother over and it's NOT all for the kids now. 1.11 > Christmas. -
75 years since the greatest moment in US history

I've thought for a while that the west could outbid the existing suppliers for the opium harvest. Even if it didn't go on to make drugs and sell it, it's got to be cheaper than trying to stop the entry of refined product. And it would make the transport and refining arm wither on the vine. It would also mean that the farmers would either sell to the west or be coerced into selling to their existing buyers. So the farmers then have a driver to work with the west rather than the current illegal, who-knows-where-the-money-goes route. Note - morals be damned. I just go by what works and what effects the rest of society. -
This is the definitive site for British arty in WWII. You can only admire his dedication. I remember reading somewhere that the quickest a British battery got rounds on target was in the order of 20 seconds? That's as quick as modern but these guys got a LOT of practice.

Yep, legalised prostitution too. You may as well try and make it as safe as possible. Same as with drugs; just minimise the harm and manage the impact on the rest of society. Educate, don't proscribe. Education works, proscription doesn't. At least not at a level where you can keep a reasonably free society. All it does is channel the money to criminals. -
Nope, you generally find them on desks and such. They look like how they sound, like a little toy with a large head.

Really? Didn't do that back when everything was legal. In WWI you could send morphine tinctures to the troops. Were they all eating lotuses while Five-Nines dropped behind? No. Drugs are a phase. You grow out of it. You can get everything you want now anyway but all that lovely tax is going to the underground. I was reading about the Mafia in Naples the other day. The city basically has zero say in what happens because they have access to so much money from selling drugs. Take away their revenue stream and you take away their power. Legalise, sanitise, tax and move on. -

Anyone hate pre-paid smart cards?

I washed my ipod nano and it worked but I wouldn't recommend it. -

Other Means replied to volfrahm's topic in General Discussion Forum
No. Pre paid electricity in cheaper housing sometimes. Water meters in some places - but mostly not. IIRC. there was an attempt to get around the law by some companies and introduce meters that would shut off the water when there was no money left but they were deemed illegal. -
1.10 PBEM games continuable in 1.11?
Other Means replied to Sivodsi's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Actually, I'd say copy the whole folder as there may be changes in the BRZ files so it's best to copy the whole lot. It's easy enough you just need the HDD space. -

It's the same in the UK. You can't disconnect someone from mains water even if they don't pay the bill. You can take them to court etc but water is basically a human right. You'd think that it wouldn't be a problem here but sometimes it doesn't rain for an hour or more and people start to panic. USB sticks and flash memory can take a hell of a battering. They found a lot of cameras after the tsunami with the pictures still perfect. -
They must be planning to hide it at a footy game.
