Those Hamsters seem to be about the right size to clean the barrel with.

Since the point value of a destroyed unit is factored into victory determination, destruction of vehicles should certainly be considered more. A destroyed 50.cal team is a loss of manpower. A destroyed Jeep w/50.cal is a loss of men AND materials. Not a real difference tacticaly, but if your point system is any reflection of a units strategic value (cost of production in man hours and materials), then this should certainly be tweaked some.

Man, that scenario editor for PE is hard to use, and the units/formations are really hard decipher. The only way to get a real feel for those scenarios is to play them out 5 or 6 times each. And since I've been playing CM, whos got time to run through PE scenarios again? (BURP!)

Point values should = common/rarity of unit. There was a butt-load of halftracks in service, these should be cheap. Konigtigers were a bit less common, they should be expensive.

Just don't use a time limit.

Bingo, -save link as- did it...off to defend Bastogne...

Damnit, I cant get his scenarios to work. Is it his Belgian text confusing my text editor?

I like the snowed on look. And on the flip side, I prefer it the way it is. If you fill in the darker areas, it takes away from the vehicles characteristic angular look. Maybe not the ultimate in realism, but I enjoy the plain structure of the units as much as the fancy camo paterns. I shy away from the patterns that take away from the shaded, contrasted features of the units. What you have there looks great. (Can I have a copy?)

23 hours. No beer, lots of coffee.

THIS IS TOTAL HORSE****! I was just about to descend off my mountain-top and lovingly slap down your quivering shellshocked troops. And now you go hiding behind your technical difficu.... hey, just realized we don't have a game going. Sorry Major.

Those are outstanding man. Me want.

That'd be v1.05.

Most all I download do work. The ones from "Combat Mission Scenario Page" and "MiNas Combat Mission page" do not. They seem to be unreadable in the game. They are displayed in the scenarios list, but only as jumbled heiroglyphics (like a pbem text looks). And loading them causes the game to crash. I've looked at the text file profile, extension, etc., and no problems there. I even tried several different text editors. I'm using latest version of Win95.

QUOTE: "The historical German "advantage" in the bocage was using a lot of infantry and AT guns, but the Germans have little infantry in this scenario and no AT guns." I've got a scenario that simulates this. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. I'll e-mail it to anyone who wants a go at it. ------------------ As I walk through the Valley of Death, I will fear nothing, for I am the meanest mother*#*#** in the valley. (George S. Patton)

You may want to add a permanent list of everyones ICQ#s we can refer to. That'll help us build our contact lists of everyone playing via ICQ.

Hey Oddball, are those the stock PE sounds, or Volcanos, or other PE mod sounds. I thought about extracting some of those into CM, but the ones I have now sound so good I couldnt get motivated to do it.

Thats a perty puty.

I've made a ballbuster that will make you howl like a wooped dog. If you like bocage fighting lemme know and I'll shoot it to you. ------------------ As I walk through the Valley of Death, I will fear nothing, for I am the meanest mother*#*#** in the valley. (George S. Patton)

Don't forget Red Storm Rising. Outstanding reading.

Doh! Whats a sniper marker?

A USMC corporal won his honorable discharge in '97, in federal court, on the grounds he swore to uphold and defend the US Constitution, not the charter of the U.N.. I applaud him.

I would like to be able to swap custom maps from operations to battles, or vice versa. I've spent all this time making a map under "new operation", and now that I'm done I think it would work better if it were a battle. I dont even need the parameters and units, just the ability to extract the map into a "new battle".

I'm only interested in killing hamsters.
