1-1280x1024 2-yes 3-dsl Thanks for your hard work. A scenario manager next? [When played, who with, outcome, when installed, what version, etc)... Well, one can only dream.

Don't we ALL worship CM???? (No offence to the otherwise devoutly minded.)

Would this Saturday evening (October 7th) work for people? And where to meet? I guess Manhattan is the most central point transport-wise. Please post your availability and preferences for time/place.

Starting new thread to gain attention. Please check there.

Bump. OK guys, so shall we do it? Anyone for a drink?

I have queried this before - to no avail.

Just to let you chaps know that there is a very interesting interview with the Producer of Battlefield: 1942 at http://www.dogfighter.com/interviews/show.php3?interview=969897255

I thought that too. If they are from a 3D engine, I wonder what the min. specs for a PC are to run it....

Anyone heard anything about Battlefield 1942? The screen shots at http://www.ga-source.com/all/news/bits/08+20+2000/12:43:59.shtml look interesting, the 'city scene' screenshot especially. As to whether it can fulfil its potential, well, I guess we'll have to wait...

Thanks guys! Guess I'll have to fly...

Is there any successful way to remove/pre-detonate mines without any engineers? Will direct fire work, and if so, what sort of direct fire (infantry, tank, etc)?

Also spent some time with the Bren (7.62 version), and got to like it a lot. Usefully fills the gap between an 5.56 (burst fire or full auto option) or 7.62 (semi-auto) assault rifle and the heavier FN or M60 GPMGs. [This message has been edited by Cuchulainn (edited 09-13-2000).]

How DO you find time for the 'day job?'

I would say that it is NOT a be all and end all matter. The Boards that are up are great and CM is fantastic. It's just that we started off with one board, that has split into the main board, tips & techniques, scenarios and tech support; so I guess at SOME stage, we'll get a CM2 board. Sooner rather than later might be sensible to keep it all in one, easy to find place. But, whatever. It's a great game, it's a great board, and the vast majority of people posting are just fine - some quite awe inspiring in their depth of knowledge!

Hear what you're saying Elijah. It doesn't HAVE to be elitist, just somewhere for that specific topic. Might help to hive off that area for BTS too, keep it all in one area....

Seconded.

Am I right in thinking that if a barrage, called for by a FAO is underway, and the FAO is killed, that the barrage ceases? And should this be the case? Surely it should continue until all the rounds are expended, with no changes (new targets or cease fires being allowed).

Time to lock this up?????

From: http://british-forces.com/fkac/history/regiments-coprs and www.army.co.uk Royal Army Service Corps Raised in 1794 as the Royal Waggoners (land Transport Corps in 1855, Military train in 1856, Army Service Corps in 1869 and Royal in 1918) Motto: Nil sine labore (Nothing without labour) Museum: Buller Barracks, Aldershot, Hampshire Awards 5 VCs; 1 GC Modern successor: Royal Logistics Corps, which also includes REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, the old Royal Corps of Transport, Arms postal specialists, etc)

Well it all strikes me as pretty unlikely too. Any Scots about who would care to defend their scientists?

Actually, Royal Army Service Corps. They have performed many function over the years, more nowadays as units have been amalgamated.

This just in from Scottish scientists... Why Germans are down in the mouth BY MARK HENDERSON, SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT SPEAKING English can help to cheer you up, but the mouth contortions of the umlaut may make Germans feel glum. The muscle movements that are needed to make one of the German language's most characteristic sounds - the vowel with an umlaut - turn down the corners of the mouth and contort the face into a frown, a psychologist told the Royal Society of Edinburgh yesterday. According to David Myers, Professor of Psychology at Hope College, Michigan, frequent use of the muscles that the brain associates with sadness and frustration can depress the speaker's mood. In English, the "e" and "ah" sounds, as in "bee" or "car", have the opposite effect, he claimed. They use the same muscles as smiles and laughter, and can lift the spirits. "Research has shown the facial expression of a person can affect how funny they will find things like cartoons," said Professor Myers, who has just finished a sabbatical at the University of St Andrews. "Even when speaking, movements of the muscles in the face can change a person's mood. It is delightfully subtle. This could be a good reason why German people have got a reputation for being humourless and grumpy." A spokesman for the German Embassy said: "We can give no comment on this as it is too scientific." ---------------- I don't understand it. With the Germans known worldwide for their wonderful sense of humor...

Felixgrey, you might like to look at the topic http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/004108.html where we talked about TEWT use of CM for training. My first post in fact

Congratulations on an excellent start. Having played it through I would echo the comments made above. The German force balance needs addressing, and, most especially, I would seriously consider adding more land on the far side of the river. The German reinforcements were forced to appear upon their arrival VERY close to the river, in plain sight, not gradually drawing near as would be more realistic, and there was for similar reasons, no way to defend in depth ton the far bank. A great start though.
