If you can't say something smart, say it three times loudly! (Sorry for the triple post. ) ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Welcome aboard, mate! AFV = armored fighting vehicle FFE = fire for effect FO = forward observer ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Allied tanks cannot cut through bocage before July (or August?) '44. I know, because I'm testing a scenario for Wild Bill that involves an Ami attack through bocage shortly after D-day, and my Shermans can't move through it, only around it. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Happy birthday, WB! Hope all is well. Thanks for all your hard work, and for your evil genius in the scenario design business! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Did you save a copy of the movie? If so, I'd suggest you send it to MadMatt with your comments. BTS is very responsive to constructive criticism, but it's hard for them to fix anything without seeing it firsthand. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Well, Kingfish, we'll see about that! You'll run out of arty soon enough, and my troops and tanks will decimate your puny Frauleins! Hey Borg, still no assimilation? ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Nice work, Borg! Never been assimilated, so might as well light me up! Happy holidays to all you CMers! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

It should not take that long to load. You may need to use a different ATI video card driver. There have been a variety of previous posts regarding similar problems. I'm not a "techie," so I can't offer specific suggestions, but hopefully some other folks can. Keep at it, it's worth it.

Hey OGSF, did you play the original or the revised version? In the revised version, the second lot of reinforcements is much less likely to arrive where they will be under immediate attack. Incidentally, I feel your pain: I played Elsdorf as a PBEM, and lost all my Tigers in 2 turns (3 out of 4 in one turn) when they arrived, to my opponents Pershings. I was doing okay but really needed those Tigers, and subsequently lost. Wild Bill kindly listened to my complaints about the location of the reinforcements, and revised the scenario. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

The size of the movie files depends in part on the size of the map, but even more so on the number of units, especially AFVs. The movie files tend to get larger as the game goes by, as more movement and combat occurs, because of the computational demands. The files then tend to decrease in size toward the end of most games, as the number of units and amount of combat declines. So, scenario designers do need to take into account these factors. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

There is no effect of the particular graphics you are using on FOW, only on your own ability to see what's on the computer screen in front of you. The graphics you use are not the ones that your PBEM opponent sees, and vice versa. And as far as I know, the uniform mods have no influence on the AI either. So, if you like how the winter mods look, use 'em. If you find you don't see what you want to see, don't use 'em. Or else keep the bases on all the time, and get the best of both worlds. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Nice job, MM! Thanks for all the good work! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Done! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Can't wait!!!!! Great job!!!!!! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Hey Martimer, there is a fix for the ATI bug. The new Open GL extension fixes it. Head over to the tech forum; there is a long thread that describes the fix and how to get the new extenstion. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

How about an elite zook taking out a King Tiger moving laterally through scattered trees at 150 meters? He had already killed two other KTs on one turn! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Hooray!!!!! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Stupid me...I looked more closely, and found the posts I had in mind. Doh! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Played it against the AI as the Amis. Had a lot of fun, finally assaulted the pillboxes with my Engineers. Got to play with my FT tank too. Got the total victory, but it would be a tough sled against a human in a PBEM. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Hey, the Forum wasn't accessible for a while, and now I got back on and there seem to be a bunch of missing posts from the latter part of the day. Is the Cesspool reaching it's limit? Is there something nasty afoot? BTS? ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Of course, Doug, that doesn't mean you're still not a slack assed you know what...just that you're a busy one! ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

I'm using the trees and bases for woods/pines. Like 'em a lot. Keep up the good work! I don't use the bases for scattered trees, b/c they just don't look right to me with the subdued velvet grass--the color/contrast is too marked. I'm using the clear treebases. Makes determining boundaries of scattered trees tricky, but looks better. Hope the high-res bases work better. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"

Just a point of clarification, WB: There is no distinction between Mac or PC for scenario files. They are interchangeable. And I'll put in a pitch for both Benicourt and Last Man. I played the former, and tested the latter. Both are terrific fun. ------------------ "Don't lie to me, Gustav! You're a stinkin' Mac user!"
