Okay, I've got a question about infantry smoke grenades. ***DISCLAIMER*** I have read the manual and understand that the reason infantry smoke grenades are not modelled/included is because BTS could find little or no supporting evidence that they were used as anything other than signals. Okay, here's the question(s): Are infantry smoke grenades not a viable tool? Do they exist for any purpose other than signalling? Is the reason that they are not in the game because they were used only at the sub-squad level, for example, "Johnson, throw smoke to cover Smitty!", and as such be inappropriate and gamey for a game of CM's scale? If you can muddle throught those rather stupidly-worded questions (it's very late where I am), thanks!

I'm definitely with I/O Error. VB is very slick. "1337!"

I/O! I've been watching the CS boards for a LONG time. Too bad SplitSoul left, huh? Steve, whatever new software you use, can we stick with this format of clicking on and reading the entire post at a time, as opposed to having to click on each different response? I read WAY faster than I can click.

I'm not sure, but isn't a regular Tank Platoon just five tanks of similar type? A Sherman Platoon, for example, would have five Shermans. I think things get mixed up more at the company-level, like a M5 as the Company Command Tank. Absolutely unsure about all of this, though . . .

Another idea: Have CMHQ Chat be the place where people go to meet?

On the subject of churches, those little villages in QBs can sure have a lot of churches, huh? I've seen as many as four churches in a town with around twelve buildings total.

Well, the TD Crew's idea that maybe our HE will penetrate the side of this cliff is a little bit buggy. . .

On the subject of other games, has anyone heard anything about Majestic? It was in the last(I think) issue of PC Gamer. Looks scary as hell. . .

I'm into the combining of words, such as "F@$%SH$T" and the immortal "SH$TF@$%"

Tom Sizemore is in it as LTC McKnight. Check it out here: http://www.upcomingmovies.com/blackhawkdown.html Very good info.

Err, please excuse the above post. This is the third, count 'em, third apology I've had to make on a message board today. Wonder what else I did. . . Sorry!

goddamned thread is my best friend i drank sooo much scotch tonigh i don't know what the shell i'm oing on the puter

The first time this happened to me, I cried out in dismay when the little sucker ran. A second later, though, an errant artillery round impacted right in front of him. Hehe. Little jerk.

Sorry, guys. Nice work, anyway.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Lose an infantry man - 1 mouth full of beer <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ouch. The way I play, I'd be having my stomach pumped by Turn 10.

Try Team DeSobry by Wild Bill Wilder. Make sure to get the updated version and play as Allies.

What, exactly, is so horrible about having some special unit types in? I mean, they add so much, and detract so litte. I loved playing around with Rangers and Commandos in Steel Panthers. What I liked even more about Steel Panthers was that you could edit the squad's armament and names.

I don't especially mind the speedlocking of flame wars, or burgeoning ones, but it bugs me when a thread is deemed "unnecessary" like the Borg threatening assimilation and immediately shut down. So what if it's unnecessary? If it isn't relevant, then it'll drift downwards, sure as being locked. If it doesn't drift downwards, then people are at least a little interested in it and what's so wrong about that? [This message has been edited by JeffRaider (edited 10-13-2000).]

Has anyone else noticed the amazing number of locked threads in the last few days? The way things are going, this thread should be gone in a couple of hours. . .

/me lines up an 88mm on the whole crowd. Look, Ma! No Hands(or optics)! BOOM.

How about Jeffgeny Edwardovich Fraserov? Now THAT'S a good Russki name.

THANK YOU!! Way to go, Bill! Tell those stalwart Raiders thanks, also!

You win, lad. /me moons Deadmarsh, struts out.

My kind? You just illustrated my point, pal. [This message has been edited by JeffRaider (edited 09-12-2000).]

Abbott's right, it should have been a losing fight. YOU HAD A PANTHER FOR GOD'S SAKE! You must be using the term 13 year old as a mark of respect, you big baby.
