Since many times the vehicle was lefy behind with an operator, (say behind a building) while the FOO went forward with his gunner and a drum of phone cable, I guess BTS figured there wasn't much to be gained from putting hte effort in to model the vehicle
a) because it may or may not be there (depending on the situation, the FOO, etc etc).
because your prime goal with it is to hide it and let noone see it. Perhaps would be nice to have it, but not as nice as many other things CM does

Yes folks, our Kitty has made a mod which includes the faces of all the 'poolers which you can drop into CM to replace those dull pictures of other people.
Watch as Germanboy calls down arty for your brits, see Stuka and his Prince Charles' ear addon! Admire the wizzened Berli
It's all for your pleasure at Kitty's site.

Steveieboy.
It's not the graphics that are a problem..
the problem is I no longer have a registered version of QT4 and perhaps I really need a better movie editing program anyway.
Second is need to capture and use snazzy CM videos
Third is keeping them nice and crunchy-tight-small. If you can help with any of those I might be inspired!

On a completely unrelated matter because i can, and none of you can stop me I thought I would demo a sample of corporate taunting that I exchanged with some woman in Ireland. This woman mailed me because I mailed an old lecturer of mine saying we were recruiting and did students from my old dept. want work, I get £1000 if they get hired. My lecturer in his wisdom, sent the mail to just about everyone he knows.
Enjoy the following taunt, please start at the bottom of the following quote

Subject: RE: Hi -- tell me what you do and what positions are available
Excuse me?
I'm hardly the HR person and have NO control over who is recruited therefore I can hardly provide more precise information for a company of nearly 700 people around the world that recruits around 20 people a month for over 6 different sectors.
I suggested reading the web site so you could check out the kind of company we are and what we do. Not every graduate is interested in analysis in the business world. If you had spent a little time on the site you would see details about on each section of DM including free white papers to download and read to help you get a feel for the sort of product we produce. Alternately you could have passed the address on to graduates and let them do some research of their own. I have suggested the site to friends in NZ and UK looking for work and found 50:50 split between people who find it interesting and want to apply and people for whom it is not their cup of tea. There is little point in discussing future jobs with DM if people don't at least check and find out whether they would be interested in working here.
Also, I mentioned recruitment to Ray more for his information and didn't intend to have it passed around the globe as a money making scheme for me. In fact, I am unlikely to suggest people putting my name on cover letters for me to get £1000 when I don't know them, instead I'd suggest they talk to HR (as they HAVE to do according to business practice here) and just apply as per any other grad. The -only- time I would really suggest someone put my name on the cover letter is if I 1) know them, 2) spent significant time talking and chatting to them and feel I can vouch for their character. When I first found out about DM I was a graduate in NZ and didn't even know companies like DM existed, especially one that has recruits from as diverse fields as Fighter Aircraft Engineering MAs to post-grad Latin and Greek working side-by-side. I thought it would be useful for Ray to know when we've got a strong demand for recruits so he can suggest the company to other grads hungry for work.
As for my job, which you asked about. According to dictionary.com an analyst is 'one who analyzes' and 'analysis' is
"A resolution of anything, whether an object of the senses or of the intellect, into its constituent or original elements; an examination of the component parts of a subject, each separately, as the words which compose a sentence, the tones of a tune, or the simple propositions which enter into an argument."
This pretty accurately describes my job. As a technology analyst in the games market I look at the games/entertainment market and research and write about it. For samples of the sort of markets DM analyses, please see the web site. As the company works in many markets it is impossible to adequately describe all the possible roles a candidate could end up applying for.
I apologize if I was terse in my first email, I have a lot of work on and don't know yourself or Allen. I hoped you would check the web site and if you thought the opportunities the company offers appropriate to talk to your students and our HR department and take it from there. I don't need to be involved and don't see it as appropriate for me to be involved with the applications of people I've never met and don't know. I still invite you to do this and wish your students the best of luck.
Peter

Thanks but that's not the sort of information I was looking for...Ray
forwarded me your email (as you are looking to get recruitment bonuses of
1000 GBP). I'm very committed to helping my postgrad students find positions
that will satisfy them, but had expected you to be a but more forthcoming and
generous with information, giving that you're soliciting CVs. A referral to
a website is certainly not on. Best of luck, Lydia

Hi there
i work as an analyst with a company called Datamonitor.
Best to read about the company www.datamonitor.com
if you want to chase up leads for your students, try krae@datamonitor.com and ask what positions are available.
Analysts are widely recruited from just about any field. People have to be smart, have strong analytical skills and hopefully some form of business experience

I'm a lecturer in London and Dublin so have lots of students in jobsearch
right now.
Ray is an old acquaintance from when I was at Booz, Allen a number of years
ago. Thanks. Lydia
I thought it was a good 8/10. Anyone else got a good sample?

Stevethegit you petulent little hairy child. Kinda like a little pet monkey noone has had the hert to perform medical experiments on.
Well my little squire monkey YOUR MAIL SERVICE IS A PIECE OF CRAP. Do you understand? Do you understand WE TRY AND SEND YOU EMAIL AND CONSTANTLY GET IT REFUSED? I'm not sure you do. Perhaps I shall repeat myself. YOUR UNDERWEAR AND A HOSE TO YOUR PC DOES NOT MAKE A MAIL SERVER. NO, EMAIL FROM WOMEN WILL NOT ENTER YOUR PANTS AND TICKLE YOUR FANCY.
How about you get a REAL email address, like, o, hotmail? That would be a real step up for you and you'd be able to stop giving the hosts for your domain oral sex as payment each month.
Disapointing little squire. Go and kill someone in mortal CM conflict and make yer sponsor proud.

i'd much much much rather take a 300mm rocket barrage on a TRP to a company than face a 14 inch barrage.
o, tip for using. Use the two spotters rounds, then retarget somewhere else.
They fall in a fairly tight pattern, and if you haven't killed everyhing in the area with two shells, more isn't going to help.
A salvo of 5 lots of two shells will flatten a city. The blast seems to kill -everything- within about 50-80m of the impact point.
It is good.

Yeah they were.
Reason you get the accounts of 'pz IVs egad runaway!' on the western front (from what i've read) is that they frequently hung out with Panthers and Tigers! :>
On their own, Pz IVs are the Shermans of the German army hehe. I love the little buggers tho.

Wait up guys..
Combat Vision is something I worked on with Freelancal, (who hasn't posted in ages, I think he got a life or something).
We actually have cut footage for 'Gott mit uns' a gemran film, but the release of CM made us feel a bit redundent since we used CM beta grahics and i don't think we wanted to refilm!
Basically, this isn't an opening movie for CM or an old opening movie, it's an independent project, and one i need to get on top of again! How we did it is explained at the site listed above.
I need to get Freelancal to kick me, or get promises of pleasure from you lot to encourage me to finish and the move on to new things.
I always thought news reel of CMMC would be just fantastic

I see I am mentioned numerous times on the ausipicious 13th page. This is a good thing as it lifts the tone of the thread somewhat
Kitty, fantastic idea for a mod! Any time you need Steviemouse to rub your feet, let me know, he's good at that sort of thing. I hire him out if anyone else is keen.
Miky Foreass. Sing your praises? Stalingrad? Get off the crystal meth mate, it's screwing with your colon, quite clearly where you brain is located, ie. close to your mouth, cos you've talked nothing but ****e! You've completely lost me.
Stevielad Of course I want a file you simp. Now hurry up and send! And are you playing Treefart as per? I want screenshots of the map sent soon! I want to chortle at your missfortune.
Also Everyone. I am pleased to announce a new two-word word for the phrase 'what a freaking nightmate of a stupid map'. It's called Gilligan's Isle and it's coming to a CM near you soon!
j****edorf send me a setup. You almost made me laugh. Can't wait to see how you play. I'll keep the bucket close by incase i laugh up a lung or something.
All those I am playing, you are funny. Not funny 'ha ha', but funny 'what a pack of numbnuts'.
Croda is dying so bad, I expected the AI just to give up and end it. But I think even the AI doesn't like him any more and is having a good old time drawing out the pain. So far I've shelled the city he's defending and pushed his perimeter up to its gates. Buildings collapse, burst on fire and enfilade takes care of any survivors. I think about 6 spotters have shelled that town for over 5 minutes now. It's fun
The rest range from ammusing to ho-hum. But nevermind, you can all try harder eh?

When are you going to merge this site with the CMHQ? Seems to make sense to me, community and content sells, and this place is getting a bit old and smelly. Get some flashy pages and lead us to the promised land o Matt.

Don't worry, you shall receive it! Sometimes the BTS guys get a bit overloaded i think, then it quietens down again. They must be really buzy, hence no mails etc.
But neverfear, your CM will arrive!

Canal Defence Light
Saw something on this at a museum (Bovington) here in the UK. Seems it was named as such as a cover to its actual role.
As i recall it had a big lamp and bulb and it was deisgned to flash extremely brighly (millions and millions of candle power), and 'stun' enemy tank crews at night. After a few minutes of flashing the bulb bit had to be replaced.
They were designed to work with friendly tanks and so on, in case of german invasion.
after the threat of invasion ended I am sure i read they were bassically withdrawn from service..
hmm?

Hi there,
With the CM Meta Campaign slowly pulling out of the siddings and heading for the wide open countryside with a chug-chug comes the thought that wouldn't it be nice if we had some pictures of the area we all will be fighting on.
Since the fighting will be around the Seine and the town of Evreux does anyone live close by or in those areas (friend of fried?!) who could take some pictures and post them? Everyone in the CMMC would be eternally greatfull!
Let me know, thanks

Stevie my Squire. This Treeburst fellow is prooving ugly, rude, smelly and i think he's wee'd his pants. Please best him in a battle of MY CHOOSING!
Stevie, the paramaters shall be
1) End of war
2) Bright day
3) Dry
4) top notch hilly
5) top notch woody
6) All armor, computer pick, veteran.
I expect him bested soon and his head on a platter as supplication to me. Loose and I will be forced to give you a beating.
