IIRC, Steve said "about a year from now" in a previous post. Could be my ailing mind playing tricks on me, though... Why not do a search? Should provide you with lot's of info about CM2! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason why, our's is but to do and die!

Yes, I think a save-game feature in TCP/IP is a must! IIRC from previous discussions, BTS want's to put in some sort of timer to limit how much time you have available to view the turn video and give orders. That would way you can limit how long a game can take, but say you use on average 5 mins. pr turn on a 40 turns game....! Still, I really hope they release that patch soon!

As long as the question is relatively simple, it's so much easier to just answer it! Of course, if it's a topic that has been debated to hell and back, then one could politely say so and suggest a search or perhaps include a link to said discussion(s).

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mord: Can anybody enlighten me?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Only generally. Charles has stated that due to continuously increasing hardware power after the release of CM1, we might very well see a lot of enhanced graphical related changes in the later versions.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Redarmyspants: I am so stoked for the tcpip patch thats going to be sweeness in a bottle.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hmmm, in my view it's more like icing on the cake. It makes the game a little sweeter and prettier to look at, but the real flavour is still there, with the icing or not. Dang! Now I'm suddenly hungry! Just my personal view of course.

Eh..... sex? Ah no, that would be from playing CM to much... Sorry! I bought a new computer with a Geforce DDR. Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason why, our's is but to do and die!

No, you can't add piccies as an attachment, but you can automatically add a picture to your post, by setting up an URL-link to it. Take a look at the UUB code (link's to the left). E.g. in order to show this picture: I just wrote "[<>img]http://www.icdc.com/~nbell/Pal%20Woje%2099.jpg[/img<>]", but without the <>. NB! The picture must be on the net somewhere (i.e. reachable by an URL). Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason why, our's is but to do and die!

In a moment like this, words become small, but I want to say that my toughts and prayers are with you and your family. Pal

I first heard about it back when it was "Beoynd Squad Leader" (?) under development for AH. Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason why, our's is but to do and die!

The only official comment I've seen (quite a while ago) was that they had sold more than they had hoped for. And given the fact that they have sold out twice (at least), I'd say they have sold a lot more than they had hoped for!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Wayne: I think the possibilities of using the CM type game engine for other games is endless.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Not quite. A while ago there was a thread about making a modern CM, US Civil War etc. Charles (IIRC) said that the engine would have to be completely redesigned before it could be used for anything else than WWII. Even PTO wasn't doable in CM for some reason (do a search if you want more info). Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason why, our's is but to do and die!

I just love these hamster pictures (and anti-hamsters)! Has anyone seen "Rat Patrol" over at the WWII ONLINE site? Parhaps we need a "Hamster Patrol" <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Slapdragon: Damn, anyone that can remember a Boer War poem has my respect.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ol' Blood and Guts asked me once what the heck my sig meant, so I just had to tell him! "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. HALF a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!' he said: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd ? Not tho' the soldier knew Some one had blunder'd: Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turn'd in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro' the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the sabre-stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade ? O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder'd. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred!

Hei Dilbert! Always good to meet another norse! We're quite a few here now. And nope, you can't turn of the turn option, but surrender is possible (i.e. when you beat the living [beeeeep] out of the AI on turn 8 it will surrender instead of continue to run around in circles for the rest of the game).

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Robert Olesen: I have no idea about the technical problems here, but it would be nice to be able to create a movie that replays the whole battle from a fixed point of view, e.g. following behind a particular unit (tab, 1) or from a fixed position over the battlefield. This ought to be feasible.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, if they manage to do a full-film feature, I guess it will be just as a usual turn film with all the awailable controls. Thus you could rerun the entire show following each and every unit in turn, from any position, over and over again! Oh my God! It just dawn on me what this will do to my spare time and family life! Perhaps it would be better if it never happened! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason why, our's is but to do and die!
