VJ, You forgot to take your medicine again, didn't you? :eek:

W4, I didn't know you guys wanted it. Both of you need to send me an email to verify it.

Hey, I would have actually been disappointed if the Packers had lost at home...

Let's hear it for Ritch! ...and there was much rejoicing... yayyyyyy.....

CW, Hmmm, a threat from a Bears fan? Assuming you grossly overestimate the effectiveness of both your offense AND your defense in all matters, I have no reason to fear you OR the back of your hand.

CW, To quote myself in an earlier post from this very thread, "...before the week is out, the only place where this will be available is CMHQ! Word of the official release will be made here..." Any more questions?

Yup!

Well said Ted. I think that for the most part scenario designers don't compete in a racing sense anyway. I think groups like Boots & Tracks inspired many scenario designers, including myself. Its also good to hear that Boots & Tracks is going to make some more, excellent quality scenarios like it has in the past. Rob</font>

The re-organizing continues at Boots & Tracks! Today, a new member has joined the team. He has done some fine behind-the-scenes work in the CM community, and now he is stepping into the spotlight that is Boots & Tracks. We proudly present Keith "Buckeye" Yeates as our newest tester/designer.

Guys, Boots & Tracks will be back in the game very soon! We are currently in the process of strengthening our team and re-designing our website. We do not intend to "beat" any other site, of which there are several very good ones. Rather, we intend to add another top-notch site to the mix for the benefit of ALL. Any questions?

But these are existing mods that have been repackaged into a convenient (al beit rather large) package for your CMMOS-enabled enjoyment.

Eggs, ham or bacon, toast, juice, etc. Looking at this spread one can clearly see that the chicken is involved in this breakfast. On the other hand, the pig is committed to this breakfast." - Unknown</font>

W4, 80 turns?! I thought I dropped that to 60. Hmmm...

PL, There's a small site you may have seen. I believe it is called... [ February 06, 2002, 11:06 AM: Message edited by: SuperTed ]

PB, Them's fightin' words...

CW, I only types what they tells me to types...

It is! It is! Field and Stream is ready to hit the streets! F&S consists of four RuleSets named "Field and Stream," "Leaves of Grass," "Shrubbery," and "Wet and Wild." "Leaves of Grass" consists of 16 subdued grass sets, some of them not well known and/or difficult to find. They form the basis of the edition and allow you to construct your own mix-and-match mod that can be tailored to season of the year, time of day, and/or weather. "Shrubbery" and "Wet and Wild" are all the other subdued natural terrain mods (with a few non-subdued ones thrown in to simulate the colors of spring growth). There is a plethora of choices for everything except trees (there are more than a few of those, though), and this edition will allow you, once and for all, to speak with real authority when you say that a certain scattered tree base looks best with someone else's grass and yet a third person's brush. Because of the magic of CMMOS, a bewildering variety of combinations can be tried out at the push of a button. But, wait! There's more! Because many can't remember what mods they installed before the converted to CMMOS, Field and Stream allows you to save up to three user-defined terrain sets. So you can save whatever you've got on your hard drive now and summon it back up later at the push of a button. You can also save two other combination versions that catch your fancy later on. And finally, there's a section in "Field and Stream" that specializes in giving you all of the mods from a particular set, and then lists what other terrain mods will be needed to supplement it. This is the section in which the seasonal mods truly come in to their own. Take a look at the screenshot in the first post to get a peek at how these things work. The Field and Stream edition does not cover winter terrain, but never fear, that will be taken care of in a few weeks with the release of Winter Wonderland. In addition, Gordon has been adding features to his building set, and that will eventually cover all man-made terrain types. What's that you say? You want to see this baby in action? Okay, here goes... This is called "Autumn in the Vosges" Here we have "Springtime in the Ruehr" A fine view of "Summer in Normandy" And, the for the fourth of the seasons, we have "Winter in Limbourg" Impressed? You should be! F&S will change your life! Never again will you be forced to endure the agony of waiting for the seasons to change! Now, at the touch of a button, you can have whatever season you want! Who created this masterpiece? Well, I think it's safe to say it wasn't me. Kudos go out to Philippe for getting this baby organized. Also, I believe Gordon had a small part in developing a little thing called CMMOS. Don't forget Manx; he's the one who will be posting this so all of you can get your hands on it. Finally, lest we forget the man who will likely take all the credit anyway , a big "Well done!" goes to Madmatt for.....uh....for doing.....ah.....for taking the credit! Let's hear it for these guys! Well done! Now, you may be saying to yourselves, "Wow, this is great stuff, but where do I get it?" Well, before the week is out, the only place where this will be available is CMHQ! Word of the official release will be made here. I suggest you keep your eyes glued to the forum. [ February 06, 2002, 10:10 PM: Message edited by: SuperTed ]

Hold on... I'm told the above image may be from this. I wonder if it could mean...? Nah, it can't be... [ February 06, 2002, 04:12 AM: Message edited by: SuperTed ]

ICS, Thanks for the feedback.

LGMB, Trust me, you don't want to know.

I found this and was hoping somebody could help me identify it. :confused:

Franko, I was planning to send you an email this weekend to invite you to join Boots & Tracks. If you're interested, email me at tedquincey@yahoo.com so we can chat.

W4, It sounds like you guys are having a blast. I may have to play that one. Speaking of which, I suspect the scenario has good replay value. What do you think?

Hey, now, the people have spoken. You ain't kiddin'. Hey, I wouldn't want to leave you and Manx to try to run things without me. I know an old bald guy, but who is the young bald guy? How about a kick start? If I apply all you have taught me, the Raiders will fear me! Mwahahahahahaha....... In all seriousness, thank you.

Attention All, If it should happen that one of the scenarios being used is found to be wildly unbalanced (60:40 ratio or worse), I plan to use Nabla's scoring system to "correct" the problem. Now, it is highly unlikely this will be needed, but I thought you should know. [ February 05, 2002, 05:41 PM: Message edited by: SuperTed ]

Play me! I already wrote the AAR of our battle. Here: Here is my AAR for the scenario I played against SuperTed. The name of the scenario was "The Fusillade of Doom." Okay, first I set up my troops. Then, I told them to charge and shoot stuff. Then, SuperTed surrender. Man, I'm sweating! No but really, wanna play me SuperTed? I'd wub to get spanked even more then I usually am. Cheers.</font>
