    Kangaroos?, Kangaroos?

    You want to know about Kangaroos?

    Well here's the drum on kangaroos.

    They are great big hairy buggers ranging in colour from brown to red. This system of camoflage was of benefit in North Africa, especially during the fighting around Tobruk, however the lack of albino kangaroos rendered them next to useless on the eastern front where several captured specimens (2 males and 1 female I believe) were pressed into service by the desperate Von Manstein in his attempts to relieve Stalingrad. I would not expect them to be modelled in CM 2.

    The best service they were able to provide was mobile ammunition carriers due to the storage capacity of their forward pouch, which was not to be confused with the rear pouch as many ANZAC's were to discover while mistakenly trying to store their grenades in the wrong pouch.

    As combat units the short arms of the Kangaroo prevented them from handling rifles and in cases of guard duty it was reported that the kangaroo would often leave it's weapon leaning against a tree while it's attention was occupied by the scratching of fleas, a design fault inherent from the first prototype model.

    As design faults go the revolutionary suspension system of the kangaroo left a lot to be desired as movement was made in a series of giant leaps which played hell with gun optics and required the kangaroo to remain stationary in order to acquire its target. However stationary roo's often found themselves as the targets of old pick ups equipped with spot-lights and drunken yobbo's shouldering semi-automatics.

    Production of Kangaroos has continued unabated since WW2 as Australia has around 20 million of them.

    I hope this has been of help to you babra.

    P.S. Stuart Kangaroo? I've never met him smile.gif

    Was browsing through Cnet downloads one fine day (as you do) and saw this demo with 5 stars or some such. The rest is history.

    By the way I got my copy of the game today. I waited at the P.O. at 6am this morning for the earliest possible delivery!

    Attention all new zealanders...

    This is mohammed el fayed Mcbean of the Australian Combat Mission liberation front, we have taken over the aircraft carrying your western imperialist devil-game. Do not attempt any form of rescue mission as we are wild and crazy guys. Do not expect any form of ransom note as we have no interest in your capitalist kiwi-dollar. Be thankful that Allah has smiled upon our martyrs in the performance of their duties and that your corrupt and evil games are now reaching enlightenment in the hands of our gentle followers....

    I want my game too!!

    WAAA,WAAA Mummy!!! (kicking cat and holding breath)

    I don't suppose anyone can give a quick walk through on the process to do this for the more computer illiterate among us please?

    I've downloaded and installed Qres OK but now I have a long, skinny desk top and while frigging around with settings I've managed to end up with a totally black screen. I've re-started etc and I can see the Win 98 opening screen but from there the screen is black.

    (I'm posting this from work in case your'e wondering )

    HELP!
