They were giving flights to people for 450.00 bucks for an hour. You got to sit in almost every position. Was going to get a flight for my eldest, glad I didn't. The plane is a complete write off.

Guys,
There is a much simplier solution, one that doesn't rate scenarios [what is hard? If it is hard for one person and easy for another then what rating does it get?], doesn't require dumbed down scenarios to show someone how to drive.
I will be out of town for a National meeting for soccer officials, but when I get back, or if someone else would like to do so, play the game pbem and will teach you the commands and tactics. So the first game will be a teaching moment, not playing to win, to get you up to speed. After that, I suggest playing others pbem to see other tactics at work. Best way to learn, see examples.
I'll check in when I get back from LA, if you don't have a pbem, I'll send you an email.

Yes, you can setup a scenario not to have terrain objectives and just casualties. Not sure if that is the case in those qb maps, you will have to look.

Why is the tank not a threat? Where is its crew? Not on fire, just abandoned? ignore the tank, let it recrew and kill me? GAJ is god in the game, can see everything, the bazooka team is not, they felt it a credible threat. Not that units would shoot at tanks till they knew it was destroyed would be life like... oh wait, that is exactly what happened in real life. You never know for sure if it is playing possum, GAJ may know, the team doesn't.

I just realized why I probably come in here as often as I do. It's just like being at work. The feeling of superiority I get from being surrounded by drooling inbred idiots who spent their formative years being nursed on lead paint.
And yet Joebob is still your superior... Makes you as good as a goober national.

Boo, you too can be a Weiner in the Cesspool Clearing House "Be Stuka for a day drawing." Losers get to be with Stuka for a week. SSNs are automatically put in the drawing...

I am liking my idea more and more, from cnn.com, first page:
Source: Weiner has no plans to quit
See, Stuka is still going to NY.
And the NY Post responds:
"Disgusted Democrats letting Weiner shrivel "
from here:

Anthony Weiner? Stuka can then be accused of driving his Weiner around? American politician, should be enough to drive Stuka nuts, so all for it.

Only 9 days until 'Operation Stuka' lands in the US, lock up your liquor cabinets and humidors!
Man the AA guns! Spin up the SAMs! Notify Civil Defense! Alert Joebob to have a mormon wife standing by!

Ahhh answered myself, someone did say it was the Panther II turret, but in actuality, well, will let the author speak for himself:
"The only reference to the Panther II turret ( under development then ) lies in the drawings H-Sk A 86176 ( the date was Nov, 7,1943 ) and is in some measure a "Schmalturm" ( Narrow turret ) though isn´t the Schmalturm of Bovington, developed for the Panther ausf F. The drawings were labeled " Turm Panther 2 ( schmale Blendeausfürung )" . That turret has, like the Schmalturm for Panther F, 120 mm front plate and the mantlet was 150 mm thick too.
The development of Schmalturm with 8,8 cm Kwk 44 started in January of 1945. Wa Pruef 6 considered both the designs of Krupp and Daimler Benz. Some mock ups were made. Those turrets are somewhat different; Krupp´s turret is a Schamlturm with few modifications, designed from the start for to be installed in any Panther send to rebuilt. Daimler Benz turret has a wider turret ring and more modifications."

hey bastables, are you sure on that? [panther II turret] I'll have to re-find the quote, but supposedly Bovington has a Panther II turret. Could be a mis-quote, so hence, the reason I am asking.

No comment on the Panther II, the only known one is existance? Surprising...

TrailApe, I'll pass on the message, he belongs to a Horizontal Engineering Company [i never knew they got that specific], and he has double duty as an engineer and basically the armourer.

In the beta thread, we were discussing our infamour trip to Ft. Knox. Basically the young lady in the photo now graduated high school, and my two boys, one a senior in college and the other getting ready to deploy to afganistan with his National Guard Unit.
Artillery suffered gun hit.
Sherman had a bad day.

I thought the movie silly enough to make a cmbo scenario for it years ago. Yes, you control the m24 chaffee/shermans fighting King Tigers over the desert of the Ardennes. Rather a large scenario that got me started with evil scenarios.

OK, will look for the thread there.

1. Arma 2 is directx, cmbn is not, it is opengl.
2. As an experiment, turn shadows off and see if it makes a difference.

Greets to all the old lost souls coming back into the forums. Warpy, still got the bunny like the one Rommel had? Foobs! Lawyer! Next time can you take Joebob with you?

Boo an Aussie, it would explain a lot...
Being "under the protection" of Stuka. thank god for the rules about thingy comments.
ngcavscout, leave boo and his booboo alone, declare a blood hamster feud on Stuka. I know, I know, kinda like picking on girl scout troop 23, but still it is all they have to offer. Winner gets sig line for a week. I expect no prisoners...

Joebob, but as you well know when the alzheimers isn't kicking in, it takes a vote and 2 out of 3 members of the olde Ones to change anything. As much as Seanachai would love to think he has that power, he indeed, does not. Also, I have pictures of what he did to my Shar Pei while at my house, drinking a Fine Whiskey.
So, do your duty and correct your twit, err, minion and inform him that House Rune has been there a long and glorious time. Yes, buy him a Boo's Clues.
ngcavscout, danged cheeseheads never around when needed... ngcavscout, I expect a Blood Hamster Feud against Boo. Winner shall get the other's sig line for 1 week. Go forth for the honor of House Rune and smite thine enemies!!! Well, in this case, Boo.

Marlow, someday I hope to have another serf like you, but this time with a human head.
Boo, you incredibally dense Barney Fife, if you go to http://home.comcast.net/~joe.shaw/wsb/html/view.cgi-category.html-TopCat-Others-20Recognized.html a place made by none other then the Justicar of the Peng Challenge Thread [may Peng rest his soul] and look under Seniour Knigbhts, you will find House Rune is listed. I know, I know, assuming you can read is a strain of credibility, but still...
Oh Look, who is listed under Knight In Ordinary, none other then Boo. mayhaps it is time you stop pretending and remember your station? You know, the train station, yes, yes, you may play on the tracks.
I expect none other then the Justicar joebob to straighten out his minion. The peng thread has its traditions, and Boo being a git is one of them. However, I shall not tolerate a NON-CMBN player from insulting my house. Especially a git that lives in Ohio... and is your understudy... and can't afford the new computer since the price of his support hose has increased...

More to the story, apparently it had a fuel leak that was repaired, this was a test flight and transfer going to indianapolis, when it took off and the outer pilot side engine caught fire. Obviously the repair job was an epic fail.
