  1. I won't say whether I think it really works or not

    but they are going to have to do better than a video on YouTube

    in order to establish "proof of concept"

    it appears to be a marketing video:

    the type produced by every Defence Contractor to promote their product

    (Sometimes taking licence with the difference between "operational" & "theoretical")

  2. I went back and found my e-mails from CodeWeavers

    regarding CMAK & Crossover

    here are the two replies

    POST FROM: Ken Thomases

    BODY:

    Wow, that was strange. I downloaded and installed the (CMAK) demo.

    When I run it, it switches to each and every full-screen mode available with my video card and monitor. After that, it puts up a dialog saying it couldn't initialize Direct3D.

    Maybe Stefan will know what's going on here.

    POST FROM: Stefan Dösinger

    BODY:

    I didn't try running that game yet, but usually such failures happen when some high level dlls are missing(d3dx9_xx most likely) or d3d calls fail unexpectadely.

  3. Brilliant Idea

    I was subbing last week for the "Science Class from Hell"

    one of the only well behaved two or three students

    had his Social Studies text open to WWII

    So I gave him the Battlefront website

    and told him about the games

    My ONLY suggestion looking at the Schedule

    is to begin with an overall briefing with a map on the wall

    like troops would get before a battle

    the Background, Objectives, Forces etc

    "Gentlemen (and Ladies) our Objective this Week..."

    I'd go for the Israeli wars back before Lebanon. I figure any war more than 30 years old could be considered politically neutral (or at least less of a hot potato). '67 war, '73 war - M60s, M48s, Centurions, Super Shermans, AMX-13s, T54s, etc., etc. Wouldn't expect the whole thing to be provided as a 'module' of course, but as a stand-alone game.

    Snip

    I'd have to agree

    the point where I became hopelessly addicted to wargaming

    was a very minor Victory in AH's Arab/Israeli Wars about 25 years ago

    and the Best drug for that addiction has been CM

    You mean just as the Soviet Union was collapsing and Eastern Europe was liberating itself? Wouldn't be my first pick for a historical event that didn't ever happen ;)
