Buying this now.

Oh at least mine.

He agrees with most here but again - the to-do list is about 2 AU long.

I think we need to define: What information do we need What is an iconThen think of the best way to make the two match up. I've presented what I think is the best solution here enough times to become a laughing stock. My major driver is that I want all the tactical information I need at a glance. Immersion for me isn't seeing soldiers run around - it's an appreciation of the tactical situation at a glance.

Today only, get a serial key and Wine.

I thought of Hide as "Under cover" so that worked for me. Although I suppose with my accent "Unt" would have worked as well...

Kippers with a fried egg and single cream is very nice. Especially with cous-cous.

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/miles-kington/high-court-hangups-747313.html A most extraordinary trial is going on in the High Court at the moment in which a man named Chrysler is accused of stealing more than 40,000 coat hangers from hotels round the world. He admits his guilt, but in his defence he claims that – well, perhaps it would be simpler just to bring you a brief extract from the trial. We join the case at the point where Chrysler has just taken the stand. A most extraordinary trial is going on in the High Court at the moment in which a man named Chrysler is accused of stealing more than 40,000 coat hangers from hotels round the world. He admits his guilt, but in his defence he claims that – well, perhaps it would be simpler just to bring you a brief extract from the trial. We join the case at the point where Chrysler has just taken the stand: Counsel: What is your name? Chrysler: Chrysler. Arnold Chrysler. Counsel: Is that your own name? Chrysler: Whose name do you think it is? Counsel: I am just asking if it is your name. Chrysler: And I have just told you it is. Why do you doubt it? Counsel: It is not unknown for people to give a false name in court. Chrysler: Which court? Counsel: This court. Chrysler: What is the name of this court? Counsel: This is No 5 Court. Chrysler: No, that is the number of this court. What is the name of this court? Counsel: It is quite immaterial what the name of this court is! Chrysler: Then perhaps it is immaterial if Chrysler is really my name. Counsel: No, not really, you see because... Judge: Mr Lovelace? Counsel: Yes, m'lud? Judge: I think Mr Chrysler is running rings round you already. I would try a new line of attack if I were you. Counsel: Thank you, m'lud. Chrysler: And thank you from ME, m'lud. It's nice to be appreciated. Judge: Shut up, witness. Chrysler: Willingly, m'lud. It is a pleasure to be told to shut up by you. For you, I would... Judge: Shut up, witness. Carry on, Mr Lovelace. Counsel: Now, Mr Chrysler – for let us assume that that is your name – you are accused of purloining in excess of 40,000 hotel coat hangers. Chrysler: I am. Counsel: Can you explain how this came about? Chrysler: Yes. I had 40,000 coats which I needed to hang up. Counsel: Is that true? Chrysler: No. Counsel: Then why did you say it? Chrysler: To attempt to throw you off balance. Counsel: Off balance? Chrysler: Certainly. As you know, all barristers seek to undermine the confidence of any hostile witness, or defendant. Therefore it must be equally open to the witness, or defendant, to try to shake the confidence of a hostile barrister. Counsel: On the contrary, you are not here to indulge in cut and thrust with me. You are only here to answer my questions. Chrysler: Was that a question? Counsel: No. Chrysler: Then I can't answer it. Judge: Come on, Mr Lovelace! I think you are still being given the run-around here. You can do better than that. At least, for the sake of the English bar, I hope you can. Counsel: Yes, m'lud. Now, Mr Chrysler, perhaps you will describe what reason you had to steal 40,000 coat hangers? Chrysler: Is that a question? Counsel: Yes. Chrysler: It doesn't sound like one. It sounds like a proposition which doesn't believe in itself. You know – "Perhaps I will describe the reason I had to steal 40,000 coat hangers... Perhaps I won't... Perhaps I'll sing a little song instead..." Judge: In fairness to Mr Lovelace, Mr Chrysler, I should remind you that barristers have an innate reluctance to frame a question as a question. Where you and I would say, "Where were you on Tuesday?", they are more likely to say, "Perhaps you could now inform the court of your precise whereabouts on the day after that Monday?". It isn't, strictly, a question, and it is not graceful English but you must pretend that it is a question and then answer it, otherwise we will be here for ever. Do you understand? Chrysler: Yes, m'lud. Judge: Carry on, Mr Lovelace. Counsel: Mr Chrysler, why did you steal 40,000 hotel coat hangers, knowing as you must have that hotel coat hangers are designed to be useless outside hotel wardrobes? Chrysler: Because I build and sell wardrobes which are specially designed to take nothing but hotel coat hangers. Sensation in court. More of this tomorrow, I hope Counsel: Now, Mr Chrysler, am I right in saying that hotel clothes hangers do not have hooks on top but little studs that will only work on special racks? Chrysler: That is correct. Counsel: This design arose because so many hotel hangers were Chrysler: That is correct. Counsel: And they had no option but to change the design to stop them being stolen? Chrysler: That is not correct. Counsel: That is not correct? Chrysler: No. The world of hotels had not one, but two options. They could change the design of the way they were hung, yes, but they could also cheapen the hangers. They could very easily have given guests inexpensive plastic or metal hangers they would never have missed when they were stolen. But that would have lowered the tone of the hotel. Hotels, even hotels in a chain, like to have a touch of class. They like giving guests high-class solid wood hangers. It makes them feel good about themselves. It also makes them worth stealing. Counsel: And people come to you, do they, asking you to make special wardrobes so that they can use stolen clothes hangers? Chrysler: It isn't so much the fact that they are stolen that makes them attractive. You have to remember that many top businessmen spend more of their time in hotels than in their own home. They become used to hotel life. They think of hotels as home. Therefore they become used to hotel hangers and think of them as normal, and on the rare occasions when they spend some time at home they can't stand these fiddly things with hooks which you and I may think of as normal but which the business traveller thinks of as loose-fitting and badly designed. So they come to me and get me to make a hotel-style wardrobe. Counsel: Are you seriously suggesting that there are people who prefer hotel life to home life? Chrysler: Certainly. A lot of businessmen would never go home if they had the chance. So when they get home they like to recreate the hotel experience in their own house. Many of my clients have their own mini-bars in their bedrooms. They have TV sets at the end of the bed on a raised shelf, often with an adult sex channel on it. All their bathroom products come in wrappers and are thrown away each day. I have even known people in their own home put out "Do Not Disturb" notices on the door of their own bedroom. Counsel: Stolen, presumably, from some hapless hotel. Chrysler: Never call a hotel hapless. They know what they are doing. No hotel loses money willingly. They may have things taken from them, but the stuff that guests leave behind is just as valuable. Counsel: Are you serious when you say that clients of yours drink from their own minibars in their own bedrooms in their own homes? Chrysler: Certainly. And just as in a hotel, they grumble about the price and size of the bottles, and the absence of ice. Counsel: So why don't they get a proper fridge in their bedroom? Chrysler : Because then it wouldn't be like a hotel. Judge: Tell me, Mr Chrysler, do these businessmen of yours also have Gideon Bibles by their bedside at home? Chrysler: Many of them, sir. Judge: And where do you get the Gideon Bibles from? Chrysler: Alas, they, too, have to be taken from hotels. Judge: Then why are you not also up on a charge of Bible-stealing? Chrysler: Because the Bibles do not belong to the hotels. They belong to the Gideon Society. And the Gideon Society has decided not to prosecute me, but to forgive me and tell me to go and sin no more. Judge: And have you sinned no more? Chrysler: Alas, no.

jenrick, I've raised a report on it. I guess it's not as clear cut as you'd think at first look but that's not to say something shouldn't be tweaked.

Actually we do have a poisonous adder but I think you need to kidnap its children to get it to bite. This is how we do it Stefan.

Yeah and now whoever saw the program is going to go round and kill it. The spreading is a different issue and one that's fairly recent. I'm really talking about when we were living off the land.

I have a theory about bitey stuff. I reckon wherever man has been he'll kill stuff that is dangerous to him like snakes, spiders etc. At least he would of before we started to do it too well. So over thousands of years where places have been highly enough populated there's no more bitey things left. e.g. the most you'd get in the UK is a badger with a short temper.

jenrick can you re-run the test? If it works that way repeatedly I'll make a bug rep for it. PM me if it does. Cheers.

BTW from everything I've seen I'd use Forrest Gump as my role model rather than Bill Murray.

Jesus. I admire your commitment fella. Good luck. The only advice I'd give is that I'd give anyone going into a new group of people: Keep your mouth shut for the first few days until everyone has got past their trying-to-impress stage. Don't try and be the first to speak - try to be the last. Put the group before yourself and let that dictate your actions - that's how you become a leader. Get running. I've never been in the military but they seem to be rather keen on it.

Can't wait for the British module.

Wait a second...conspiracy theories...computer trouble...exclamation points. Oh God they got Stalin's Organist.

Report back with impressions - good and bad.

No I'd go for 1.10. The pathfinding etc errors are present but minor. It's fun now - why wait.

I just use the mouse wheel.

I think the waypoint is too close to the wall to allow the Stryker to get to it. Email me the turn though and I'll see if it's still an issue. Cheers.

Correct. HE is modelled because you don't have to compute lines of fire for the effect. AIUI.

If you want email me your file and I'll put it on my server.

Great idea - the more the merrier.

Using the same logic I'd like command delays in area fire - dependent on C2, unit perception etc within a total upper limit. The passing of info is already modelled, including within voice range passing to nearby units. We should build on that to create a proper use of the CoC and proper sighting of support units. Why can my MG's/tanks/mortars across the map be brought to bear on unspotted (by them) enemies at will? It should simulate the call for support going up and down the CoC. The only thing it wouldn't do well is recon by fire. But in recon by fire we're setting the pace anyway so the delay wouldn't matter. Although this is far from the RT/WEGO in the thread title - maybe I'll open another thread for it?
