  1. Or the T-bone if they are laying on the ground.
  2. I see a lot of guys about to get chewed out by their 1SG.
  3. I though that was a picture of one of Peter's urban renewal initiatives.
  4. This is great stuff. When I get time I will have to fool around with these a little.
  5. It's a branch of the SS. Highly specialized thread. Could explain its demise.
  6. I know I saw someone there looking for SF. You're right though I've only peeked in a time or two. The best way I have found is to strike up a conversation with someone on the boards and email them. The Peng and Waffel threads are always an option if you don't value your sanity or have decided to discard your morals.
  7. This forum does have an opponent finder section. Just scroll down to near the bottom of the directory.
  8. Because of the many patches the manual is somewhat dated. Since I don't play anything other than elite FOW I can only really comment on that. - Friendly units need to be spotted just like enemy units. If you have a friendly unit not in line of sight or contact with another friendly unit, then the only way to find this unit is by either re-establishing contact with another of your units or by clicking through the chain of command in the game interface, jumping from unit to unit. Not exactly. If you select no units then you will see all your units. When you select a unit you see only what that unit sees. One effect of this is that it builds in a few seconds of delay to your command loop because you have to search for the right unit. Not an unrealistic situation. - Treating wounded soldiers takes a realistic amount of time Not even close. In actual combat if you lose a guy you can lose a significant number of other guys to care for him and treating a wound that puts a man down normally takes much longer than a minute or two. This is especially true for Western forces who often place treatment of casualties above even mission accomplishment. - Artillery and air support take a realistic amount of time before arriving Not sure about the exact times but it feels right. I notice that in both real life and CMSF arty seems to most often arive just after what you need hit has left the area. - Commands may not be issued when the game is paused This applies only to RT mode and actually doesn't even apply there anymore. You can give orders while paused.
  9. 4. You can turn off the Icons and various lables. Look at the hotkey menu to see which keys to use.
  10. Fun scenario. You need more infantry or fewer objectives. This size map is a BN or Task Force sized objective.
  11. Maybe that's why there are no 5-tons or duce's. I think the official load is "one more."
  12. Yikes! Even in peace time it's a dangerous job.
  13. I knocked over a 30 to 40 foot pine with my track once and it fell on top of the vehicle. We had to tie it off to another tree and drive out from under it. Good thing I was driving because I would have kicked my driver for doing something like that.
  14. Who knows, maybe the entire company was in there watching 300 on DVD. I have seen lots of people crammed into the same building for various reasons. Not tactically advisable but maybe the designer is trying to simulate something.
  15. I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Europe was on vacation from '39 to '44. I know this is true because a German guy on TV said so.
  16. I never bothered to learn his name but we are talking about the same guy I believe.
  17. Light, mech, and motorized. I know what you are saying, I'm just saying that it isn't called the Gavin and never was. I thought it was pretty stupid to take the Sheridans from the 82nd and not replace them with something, like the M8. I always thought that light infantry, no matter how deployed, was pretty useless on the modern battlefield because we just couldn't manuever. I was a big fan of the Army getting a simple, reliable, armored vehicle to give the light divisions but they never took my advice. Basically we agree that they need something to make the light/airborne units a little more useful. </font>

  19. The M113 never had a nickname. The only place I have ever heard it called the Gavin was by that moron on the internet who thinks it is the perfect combat vehicle.
