Anyway, I was suggesting a very simple way of preserving FOW developed for CMMC, and the suggestion is still valid, if you have the time to go and check, instead of start with prejudices.

(I was a GM in the CPX...man what a cluster-fu(k...nothing but red tape, wherefores, whatnot's, and bullsh*t) I will concede that at this moment the FOW is VERY wide open, but it, IMO, does not detract from the overall experience...this thing is hella-fun, and that's the way I hope it remains. I think by sending out the battles "tournament" saved and then perhaps limiting our AAR's (mine especially because I am the biggest culprit) we could close the FOW down some, but I'll leave that up to Jason and the A/G commanders. I just fight here. I truly hope, ScoutPL, that your tournament of which I am a part, does not give me the same experience as the CMMC did...that would be a damn shame.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You have had a bad experience, my dear Duke, but more than 120 other players and GMs are now having a lot of fun. Try to not bash things only because wasn't at your taste or level. I know first hand why you feels the way you feel. [ 09-16-2001: Message edited by: argie ]

Do you have any way of ordering US Government publications in Argentina? I could look up there call numbers for you.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I have no idea... Maybe I must contact the USA embassy or consulat... But I think I will not receive too much atention this days...

I suggest you to go to the CMMC page in the CMHQ to take a look on how is handled the FOW in CMMC. Is in the Academy page, in one of the manuals (the 1 or the 2, I think). Basically, the battles never reach the end, are finalized bfore to reach the AAR screen by players, letting GMs do a Cease Fire to look at the map and pour te Intel to the players. Works great in CMMC. Also, GMs starts games and make pre bombardment, when fitted.

I did this one exclusively for CM players at http://www.delphi.com/gengenforum/start Group code word is "CM", of course. For more info on how to join, go to General Forum, "Vent here" thread.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by chrisl: I've had some mixed experiences with Crack and Elite troops too. They don't break (or even cower), so they put out a huge amounts of fire, which is good. But if you run them at a position and it turns out to be defended with way more than you though, they will get cut to pieces trying to make it there, where regular or vets would be smart enough to run away and try something else.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Do you remember that old times game, you attacking with Elites and Cracks against my Conscripts and Greens, through an open terrain? Which was the final score? 96/4 or 94/6?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Slapdragon: Argie, I will likely be going to DC next week, let me see if I can get you one from NARA, or at least a photocopy. I will charge you 10 pesos if I can get the copy at all.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> 10 pesos!!!! :eek: Oh, my...! I hate our 1 on 1 parity now!!! Thanks a lot, Slap. I will be looking for your news on that document

I said it in other thread, but worth repeating here: my heart is with you.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by CMplayer: What a terrible idea.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think that was an overstatement. You can't get and idea of Bunny's brain squeezing it with press.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Maximus: nijis, with all due respect. SHUT THE F*CK UP!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> MAximus, you was the dumb ass who throws internal politics in it. Nijis is just stating a fact: some people is so filled with hate that they look this as a victory. I can't blame them. I can't forgive them neither. The best you could do is trying to help people affected for the bombing, instead of showing your strange behaviour here. Total revenge just put yourself in the path of worst terrorism acts. Don't play they game. Be smarter. But not mercy, just justice.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Lars: Priest, I think Madmatt will let this one go past the 300 mark.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Is not Madmatt caprice limit. The servers tends to get screwed when threads surpasses 300 posts.

Is one of those times I feel bad to not have a God to pray. My heart is with you, people. Keep in mind to open a new thread before the 300 posts. I don't think Madmatt will be here then.

Was very terrifying...

WP is a chemical that ignites in contact with air, making a great amount of smoke and some serious fires Was used as Smoke and also as antipersonnel round. [ 08-27-2001: Message edited by: argie ]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Brian: Serves you right. You obviously failed to strip and clean your weapon before using it. Many the time I caught the fact the preceeding digger who'd been issued with an M60 GPMG had turned the gas piston around the wrong way when he'd reinserted it into the gas cylinder. What I find interesting is that the picture posted is obviously of an FN-FAL rifle, whereas I was under the impression the Canadian armed forces had used the C1 - a variation on the L1a1 which was developed from the FN-FAL but which featured only semi-automatic fire selection and a very different flash-eliminator. The C1 also featured a cutout according to my sources over the magazine for allowing it to be loaded with clips, without removing the magazine (a strange modification IMO but each to their own). Personally, I loved the L1a1 when I was in the Oz Army. Great weapon, very accurate. Only the F-88 proved more accurate with its 1.5x scope (which IMO is cheating).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Bah! If that was MY weapon that wilol not happen. But in the Argentine Army of that time they gave you the rifle to shot, in whatever condition it was. The little valvle which regulates the gas wasn't marked, so is a sort of trial and error if you wasn;t aware of the former use of the weapon, or you disasemble it previous to fire, which you can't as you got it just before the firing. I remember another day, in which I got one issued for a tactical march and live fire... I walked with the thing 40 or 60 kms and when the firing starts, in Auto, I can't get more than Semiauto shots... I checked the weapon and I found that the guide that fixes the cover of the mechnism was out of trail (this is the worst part in the design of that rifle IMHO), I was lucky that the whole thing don't explodes in my face I disasembled it and restarted fire in a few moments, and got into the first in finish the range. As I said before, was pretty simple to maintain as rifle. Oh! The Para has more recoil than normal FALs because the recuperation spring is shorter, as not having a butt to be in...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Babra: Maybe it's just preference. I really liked it because it "fit". I used a thirty-round mag and it was quite handy, not nearly as long as the full-size model, and thus quite useful in an APC. I'm nothing like the world's best shot, but I could get decent groupings at all normal ranges.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Then is official: I suck in the firing range

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Babra: Really? That's my favourite battle rifle in all its flavours, especially the para. [ 08-20-2001: Message edited by: Babra ]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I used that one in my military service. I can't hit anything with it Plus, in some fire range I pick one from the armory which had the gas selector put in the position to fire rifle grenades and salvo, and I got a nice scratch in my cheek when I fired the first shot and the thing recoiled OTOH, was very easy to disassemble and to maintain.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by JonS: What a pompous statement, but then I guess it suits your style Maxipad. IMHO that's reason enough to not go there. [ 08-15-2001: Message edited by: JonS ]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> C'mon, Jon!. We make great fun of Maximun's statements in the General Forum! You are really missing it!
