Mmmmmhhhhh... This thread has the familiar smell of the General Forum.

A thing about prisoners in CM. All we know that casualties reflects not only KIA, but also WIA in any degree from coma to twisted ankle. How many of these could be counted as POW for the winner, if he is attacking or defending? That is something I will like to see in an AAR. I like to ask for silly things like that

I prefer the ones in which I win :cool:

And the aerodinamics? The air pressure must be higher with low temperatures, thus making the shell decelerating faster.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Enoch: Obviously heavier objects have a higher terminal velocity ...<hr></blockquote> UH? The gravity acceleration works the same for any object of any weight... Only aerodinamics could affect terminal velocity of a dropped object inside an atmosphere.

I feel a bit stupid now :cool:

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by redeker: P.S. Is the Daisy Cutter a FAE munition?<hr></blockquote> Nope. Some of the principles of both kinds of bombs are common (both exapands his action radius by atomizing some chemical and then igniting it, both consumes all the oxigen in the affected area). But FAEs burns fuel, and daisies do it with a chemical mix I don't remember right now. FAE tends to be more effective size wise, being used even in man portable rockets (by the Russians).

Could be a bug in Guns movements. I saw crews reduced to one member moving a PaK of 50mm and then another of 75mm. I sent the file with the later to BTS and they are looking into it.

Gyrene, I did a few tries with Snapz Pro long time ago in my G4/400 320mb RAM, and didn't come close to what you get... What settings have you used? Have you tried in a Mac less capable, more like mine?

IIRC, M8 were supposed to be the support weapons on cavalry formations. And cavalry did scouting

Ah! Also, we grow because the weight of the head stretches our bodies

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Skipper: Argie, sorry for saying that, but your experience with Argentinian military is not a good case. In the modern world any military that is a direct force in the country's internal politics, imho, sucks always; whether they are conscript or 'professional' is largely irrelevant. PS. This board is under a teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles onslaught of lately...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> LOL I was kidding! Now, in Argentina, we have a very nice and poor full professional army We have the lowest Defense expenditure in the Subcontinent, related to GDP, and the military is anything but a political choice. They are happy being the most important force in Peace Missions for the UN (I read that somewhere. Have any one actual data on UN Peace Forces?) In our case, reconstructing our relationships with our neighbours and making an strategic alliance with USA worked a lot better than conscription. Though, conscription with adequate training has proven to be the best choice if you are a country with a permanent menace of war. The best example to date is Israel. I have somewhere the estimated time of deployment of Israel's reserves in a war... Is something which the RVGK can only have wet dreams, Skipper I have something on RVGK too... I have to put some order in this room BTW, I did my mandatory service, 8 months as Engineer, they give me a status that I think is equivalent to PFC, and made me something like Reservist NCO. Right now, Argentina lacks a law on Reserves... So, if someone here is planning to take over Argentina, no better time than this... Though the Armed Forces seems to have a better doctrine than before.

I'm the living proof that conscription worths nothing

I haven't expect less from you, Jon. Congrats! I think is mandatory to send the people from CMMC to that page. At least the British ones.

For a second, I thought you pushed the wrong button in desperation

Wow!!! And thought I had troubles with English before! I found that I can't read English if is not properly separated in sentences. Is that English, right? :cool:
