I only have one problem with the show... Why the hell did they call it Survivor? Didn't seem any of them had a problem surviving, or lasting till the end. I just guess the "political and popularity" title was too long to use. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

I'm pretty sure the TRP is a registration target. Thats why on board units can fire at this target without LOS. As the location has already been dialed in. Oviously they lose the TRP advantage if they move because thier range and bearing are no longer good. Same with your off board artillery. An FO can order fire at a TRP out of LOS without it being scattered fire. Because the Off board guns already have the range and bearing to the target. So I think TRP's should most likely be used by defenders, who have had the time to set up and prepare areas of fire. As an attacker you can still use them, but think of them as " we pre-shelled this area before the attack, and this is where are guns were dialed in. make sense?

I would love an Outback Game. Just to download Matts Mod pack with a " Them dingo's just ate my baby" sound bite. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

too late Pillar. It appears that the Axis side has taken over your forum. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Yes, I'm sure it will happen in our RPG. I can assure you that your men will be kept under guard with no chace to flee. So how this will help you.. I have no idea. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Seahawk, IIRC once your guys become POW's they are cut of from you. You can't see what they see, give them orders ect.. But if they happen to unsurrender... All bets are off. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

My guess would be a rifle grenade. These things are great for taking out half-tracks. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

First off, I didn't run my shreck team into a building knowing someone was there. This was a city fight, and this house had good LOS to the road comming in on the right side. They were snecking into the building to set up an ambush. The scheck team was already hiding there. They were part of my platoon who happened to be in a very heavy fire fight with a platoon accross the street. This building seemed like a good ambush spot and was out of the line of fire. I'm not saying tactics aren't a big part of it. I'm just saying they should have some means of self defense. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

YES! thats it. Laugh a little harder. Laugh until your holding your belly... holding your belly and rolling on the floor. Then sir you will be at our mercy!! Of course my CCT's don't know the meaning of the word mercy..... or any other words for that matter... None the less! When you sir are surrounded and being torn to bits by my CCT's and awaken to the sight of an ambush marker on your groin. You will know a horror like no man has even been witness too!

Don't forget our ash camouflage techniques. Gives the allies a LOS penalty for spotting. We also have pointy teeth and can leap...well... not really leap, but we can um.... cap your knees..well...(if your lying down). Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

you guys must be all be peace loving.. I had the same thing happen. a bazooka team and a shreck team both thinking this light building by the road would be a good hiding place. My case my be a fluke.... But I targeted the bazooka team (after 2 turns like this) and my shreck fired. end result: Bazooka team eliminated. House on fire one member of sheck team down upon firing, second member cut down by american squad as he ran from the burning house. guess it ended in a draw either way...

David, you might also want to post in the scenario forum also. Should be a few people there that will help you play test. Just remember to return the favor. Lorak ------------------ Proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Andy, umm.. never really even noticed the smoke. Trying to remember back, It was by your wire and your guns.. correct? If so don't worry about it. I had already found my path up the side, so I could avoid that area. It just looked bad from the get go. Too bad I had to get a bazooka slaughterd to find out for sure though.

Someone call for chinchillas? Stuka....

Good job Elvis! Kindness and good deeds are often hard to find now and days. I hope your friend shows good graces and re-pays you once he falls in love with the game. Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Thanks for the replies fellows. Glad to see your still kicking Bill. I know how busy summers can be. Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

I just want to know if there will be a CMMC for CM2? And if so... giving the lack of comunication on the Russians part, will their commanders even be allowed to e-mail each other... Or will they just have to wing it? Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Assimilated? Several have been here long enough to remember when the Borg was just a spark in Bill Gates eye. They were here to watch the creation, the building and the launching of the Borg vessel. and no.. Not talking about my self. I'm still a newbie to those people. Only been active here since the beta demo. Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

LOL. I was a tribes fanatic for a long time. Haven't played in several months though. The way it worked before was you downloaded the custom skins and if a player was using one it would see if you had it on your machine. If you didn't it would default to the standard. Not sure if it is changed or not. Not sure if Tribes 2 came out. So the above was with Tribes 1. Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Greetings all. I know of three ladders for CM. Rugged defense Grognards ladder CMHQ annex ladder. Just wondering if any of the guys playing on them had any comments pro or con. Some of my own thoughts.. I'm only on the CMHQ ladder. Pros: Lots of players. Seems easy to us. Calculations take a lot into account. Cons: Seems only 40 or so people are using it. Not sure the calculations are correct, (but without a lot of users, who knows?) The Grognard site: Not a memeber, But I've spent some time looking. Covers a lot of games, but is an invite only ladder. Not sure how many CM players are there ect... Rugged defense. Haven't got much information here either. Hopefully this thread will let some people that are using them share their thoughts. Thanks Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Using custom skins in tribes worked fine. But you did have to download the Skins in order to be able to see them. Most Clans posted their custom skins on a web site. Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

Looks good Pillar. Bumb to the top. Lorak ------------------ Lorak : proud commander of the CCT's Chinchilla Commando Teams

a little news for those on cheering for the allies. ***************************************** From Commander Hawk: "YEAH, good shot Sarge" - the crew couldn't tell whether their Sherman was still shacking because of the aftershock from two well placed 'candies' or from their excited eruption of joy and relief. The now burning Nazi tank and contorted wreck flak were the result of good judgement, courage, and fighting skills. The crew had very clear in mind what to do and how to react under pressure and their trust on their COmmander certainly reached a peak in those moment. The Sherman commander Sgt. Miller was anyway unaffected by all this. He had seen that and more during his service time and he knew the Nazi tank Commander was more a fellow than an enemy. He knew the pressure coming from being responsible for the lives of his crewmen and the task to accomplish. He prayed not to make mistakes in the minutes to come. Life and death was a matter of being few yards too much in front or behind. He put his mind back into work and ordered "Now reverse a bit and let's go under cover. We have to play the cat role against these Nazi rats, boyz". "You know Sarge" went Cpl Jameson, " I guess we took out their loudspeaker too with those kills. Indeed more than SS soldiers they looked like an entertainment team of clowns". The crew erupted in laughs and the tension of the battle subsided a bit. Sgt Miller smiled "Good" he thought, "the morale is sky high. We are gonna need that". The Shermam started to back off the crest and the search for another rat to kill started again. It was one of those moment in a cold rainy day in the Western Front. *************************************
