Got any nude pics of that female tiger? im willing to pay good money. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

update (and shameless bump) i have now made new versions of VoT and Tutorial. I will remake the operation "A day in the cavalry" next. Dont know what others there are to remake. Any requests? ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation. [This message has been edited by Oddball_E8 (edited 01-14-2001).]

Actually Mirage2k is right. i still want the option for the human player to set up as he wants, but the computer sets up like an ass (pardon my french) sometimes. the problem here is that the AI sets up one of the guns in an open area and it gets hammered out of existance on the first turn. if it stays in the place i put it it would be able to survive for at least a couple of turns. but what really bugs me is the fact that the "use scenario default" option obviously is flawed somehow. If you are playing a historical scenario or just want to try playing the scenario with the positions that the scenario creater intended it is really annoying that it moves them around. Just think of all those nasty little ambushes that could be messed up because the AI places the cruicial piece of equipment (cannon, zrech or whatever) in the middle of the road or something! I think this is an annoying problem... but there must be some way of fixing it... especially since it seems that the AI moves the same units every time... Ive tried the scenario four times now and the AI always moves the same units... two cannons and about six mortars and MGs. So there must be some sort of system behind it all... maby it could be fixed if BTS releases another patch, after all they didnt get the changed values of the jumbo in the latest patch... Oh and by the way... just so noone takes this the wrong way... I LOVE COMBAT MISSION! ive never played a game as good and addictive as this... Keep up the good work (and please steve... release a purchable vehicle addon patch... pretty please... with suger on top!) ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

There is a unit database at ASL 2 CM. check it out. it includes availability and rarity ratings for all units, not just vehicles. heres the adress: http://w1.312.telia.com/~u31213280/index.htm ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Aaah, but as i mentioned before it is not only the guns that are being moved around. some miscellaneous units like mortars and MGs are being moved too. i strongly believe that for some reason the AI takes some "liberties" with unit placement when there are a LOT of units. I remember this happening to me before on some really large battles. try it out yourself if you dont believe me. Buy 5000 points for each side and set them up in the editor, then try playing the AI without FOW. it has most likely moved some units. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I just ran some tests on the scenario. if i move the cannons far away from eachother they are still relocated by the AI. but if i padlock everything then it moves nothing. ps. i also noticed that it moves alot of other small units like 60mm mortars and the likes. could it be that the AI just doesnt handle the setup of so many units (about 4500 points) in a scenario without changing some around... maby it just adheres to the "use scenario default" rule for a certain number of units. and then moves the rest around as if it was allowed to. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

they are starting in a different location than i set them up yes. they are placed quite close together, but not too close according to my experience. Ill send the files to you. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

well sort of... i think i have found a bug. ok here is the thing. I am making a new version of VoT and the allies have ALOT of units (Battallion+ size) and they have 3 cannons. they are all set up close to eachother and each time i playtest against the computer it has moved the guns. on turn 1 only one gun is in the correct place. the other 2 have been moved. The thing is that im using the "use scenario default" setup for the computer. and it still moves those bloody guns!!! so whats up with that? ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Oh crap. i dont think i have the patience to re-write the briefings... anyone feel up to it? ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Damned! i was too late. the depot isnt working now. oh well... doesnt matter anyway. im not done with the scenarios. i still need to change the briefings. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Im actually thinking of remaking all the non-historical scenarios on the cd if there is a demand. ive sent the scenarios to SS Peiper and i guess he´ll have too be my guinepig im gonna try to post them somewhere but i have no clue as to where i can post them. ill remake VoT as soon as i can. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Ive just finished a new version of the following scenarios: Riesberg, Last Defence and Chance Encounter, and now im just wondering if there is any interest in me posting them on some forum (is the scenario depot still down?). btw these are completely new versions. ie i have completely remade the force structures and not just adding or subtracting some units. Hell some forces arent even the same nationality as the first scenario. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Its beautiful man. and it scares the crap out of the enemy... ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Could it have something to do with the new accuracy of tank gunners at short/medium ranges??? cos a lot of those pillboxes were taken out by vision slit hits. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Would anyone like to do a test to see if the pillboxes have been made less durable by the new patch? the reason i ask is cause i played a homemade scenario today with 8 pillboxes (4 75mm and 4 MG) versus 1 american inf bat and 5 shermans (75mm) and 2 priests... the results: after turn 2 all the pillboxes were knocked out. The average range was about 600 meters. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Lovely... juuuuuuuuuuuuuust lovely... ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I have a strong feeling that no matter where in the world (with the exception of a few very small countrys) they travel there will always be free room and board... must be nice to know eh? If you ever come to sweden just tell me and ill fix you up... Thanx for your extremely dedicated work. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Got it! Thanx... ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

well the games that i play are the size of 500 points (since im a lazy bastard and never change the settings from the standard settings) and i am gettnig no stugs or anyghing. i did get a marder once now that i think back... it was the first fight after the new patch so thats why i didnt count it but still... there should be a bit more guns... heck i havent even gotten some decent at guns... mostly (with some exceptions) i get 75mm inf guns and 20mm flak... not exactly top-notch at guns if you get my drift... although it is great fun watching a 150mm take out a tank...

Those pillboxes are a real treat, believe me i know ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Audace im sorry to bother you but i never recieved your e-mail with the tank since i had the wrong adress in the preferences... please try again... ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I have something to add... maby not a bug but still oh so annoying. when playing a standard qb (ie no change in the settings) as allies you now almost always get a tank or two... but not as the axis... ive played at least twelve times since the patch. and not once have i gotten a tank... the closest i got was a puma. and that was on the twelfth try... just a pet peeve of mine. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I have actually made a cd that includes the mods i like and pics of the mods and some detailed instructions on how to install the mods and in what order. I did this for my friends and it only includes the mods that are my personal favourites... of course i dont charge a dime, since they have to supply the disc. Unfortunately i live in sweden and it is quite pricey to send stuff like this to other countrys so i guess there will be no service like the one youre requesting. Unless of course someone sends me a cd, envelope and stamps... then theyll get a cd. Thing is i keep all this in a special folder on my hard drive and update it regularly so there will be the newest patch and mods on the cd all the time. Well i guess this kinda sounded like a commersial but thats just the salesman in me. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I live in sweden... so how can a poor sap like me get these kind of shows... anyone got them on tape... willing to sell them cheap... REAL cheap ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.
