if you are on a MAC use the Quicktime TV and go to BBC World live it is a half decent stream and there is good audio the video sucks

My wife is at home watching it on CNN and she says the footage is unbelievable!! there is good footage from a news chopper of the second plane hitting the second WTC tower and good footage from the ground of both towers collapsing... she is using profanity and says the CNN footage is UNBELIEVABLE!!! just awsome destruction everywhere!! Priest can you tell us what you have seen on CNN?? Thanks again -tom w

Gamey is a problem for me when it comes to Cherry picking unit selection. I have no problem with most tactics other people think are "gamey" BUT I have a huge problem with cheesy cherry picking unit selection in user buy QB's that include things like the German Sdk 37 MM AA HT Truck which is known to be hard to Knock out. I have the most problem with gamey unit selection, after that the tactics in the game all take care of themselves and I have no real problem with any aledged "gamey" tactics. -tom w

we'll NEVER see them, BUT Trains would be COOL like even Civilian passenger trains, and REAL railwaystation buildings. I would think Trains and armoured trains would be fun but I don't think its on "the List" oh well... -tom w

What happened here? Is there some e-mail going on behind the scenes we don't know about? is this tourney now DEAD? what happened? -tom w

Hi Folks Sorry I have been REALLY tied up with work, for the past five days. We just hosted the Apple Summer Camp here, (Tech geek conference for all Apple Software Engineers in toronto) and I have not had time to play or check e-mail for the past while. I will return all my PBEM turns starting tonight. I have EVERY intention of getting ALL my games started by Sept 15. I think I need to play one more opponent but I don't know who that is as I can't remember all the folks that have beat me so far. Kiwi Joe, I hope we can finish up our game in the next few days. Sorry all but I ahve been EXTREMELY busy with work, but its OVER now! -tom w

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Username: Id like Steve to comment on these thoughts. Theres some good ideas here.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks Lewis! -tom w

Kiwi Joe will get 80-90 pts out of me when our game finishes some time this week Labappel is now away for a week's vacation and he and I are at turn 2 of one we just started. I will be away for the middle two weeks of august after next weekend. Kiwi is looking very strong at this point. he plays VERY well! -tom w

nothing further from anyone else on this issue? -tom w

"Robert Olesen Member Member # 3282 posted 08-03-2001 09:03 AM In a city fight, I just lost 8 smoke rounds in two turns (fired in batches of 6 and 2 from Shermans). The smoke simply did not appear. Is there a problem with smoke that lands on pavement? I suppose it could disappear when hitting a building (at least as a convenient shortcut for the programmer), but I doubt if all 8 of them hit buildings. I tried a search, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle more than one word, and "smoke" in itself will give too many hits. " The use of the Shift key as a modifier key may have caused this problem. I know I have done this myself more times then I care to remember. While attempting to chat Via TCP/IP in a game, if you miss tapping the chat button (Zero or Shift to get ~ tilde) AND then you immediately start to type, and you do a "Shift- i" to say "I did this or I did that" then POOF! there goes your smoke effects and you don't even know it. Shift as a modifier key to change game settings is ill advised and it should be the Option key or The crtl key, BOTH macs and PC's have the option key and the ctrl key so in CMBB lets abandon the use of the Shift key as a game setting modifier. Just a suggestion -tom w [ 08-03-2001: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ]

shift I turn your smoke efects back on happens ALL the time -tom w
