Lorak's Germans have shiny grey coats and a fondness for fish-meal. Other than that, there is no difference. Everything is based on armament and unit quality. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

This discussion comes up a lot. Am I the only person that doesn't use bases at all? If you lock to the unit (any unit) then cycle through your units, every last one of them will appear smack dab in the middle of your screen with a big yellow box around it. Not really hard to spot, even for the spectrally challenged ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Okay, the "Radio 1940" thing is just the coolest thing ever! ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Opinions, opinions... In truth they performed neither better nor worse than anyone else. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

You have given me a gift idea. I know some people who would enjoy it if only they would try it, but I can't convince them to download the demo. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Can I perform empirical tests on Mk IV, Thrash and Swamp? Puleeeeeeze? ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Interesting site. Never heard tell of that "Slugger" before. Wonder how many saw action. EDIT: D'oh! That's nuthin' but a Jackson! ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me. [This message has been edited by Formerly Babra (edited 08-21-2000).]

You're a true heart of oak. All your Elma Mater says so. Just ask Lindan. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

(ignoring previous post) Looks like some damn nice effects anyway. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

It's true the a/i does not (cannot) function as well as a human opponent. Look how much effort went into creating a computer a/i that could handle a game of chess. Look at how much more complex CM is than chess. On the other hand, the a/i is better than any other game I know of. Enjoy the game -- play humans. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

You guys can't tell he was joking? ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Raze. I'm a pretty good player. At least I've got a pretty good record against humans. That didn't stop Mk IV (damn, damn him) from flaming two platoons of fast-turret Shermans with one platoon of medium-turret Germans inside five minutes with no loss to himself. Stuff happens. That's what makes the game exciting. Must go hunt StuGs now... ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

That's some scary damn imagery... (Damn, damn you...) ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

I'm still in shock... My boys, my brave boys.... Damn, damn you, Mk IV... <choke>... ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Sorry, Hofbauer, Pz IVJ definitely is rated as slow traverse in CM. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

The "funny grey and blue jacket" makes that 76 look like a 75 from a distance. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

I THINK there was a long thread on this issue from several months ago. You may find some answers there if you can find it. Interesting though. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Sorry, Mensch. Can't stop laughing... really I can't... ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Can you imagine being in a tank being rained on by a quad 20mm? That's the beauty of those weapons -- they throw out so much ammo that sooner or later there's bound to be a critical hit, and at anything other than point blank range they're hard as hell to spot too. I just had a Churchill immobilized by one of the little bastards (damn you, Mk IV!!!), so I feel your pain Fortunately the crew of that particular gun is now enjoying a cuppa with my boys. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

105s, 76mms (US Type) and 17 pounders frequently camouflaged their gun barrels so as not to attract undue attention from Jerry. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me. [This message has been edited by Formerly Babra (edited 08-20-2000).]

HE would be my load of choice against a carrier. Maybe some lighter armoured units such as halftracks and carriers should be classed as "unarmoured" strictly for the purposes of determining what type of ammo to throw at them. Not Kangaroos or Badgers though -- they use a tank hull. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Matt, Do NOT give out a real-world addy for this person. (Liability Issues). If you were to share it PRIVATELY with, oh, EVERYONE, well that would be different... ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Watch out for these shady characters ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

'nother bump. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.

Yeah it would be nice to have the readme before doing anything. Just run the 1.04 program. The files will be extracted to their own folder. Then copy the files into your CM directories manually. The readme will be there. ------------------ Sounds like 100% weapons-grade bolonium to me.
