I cancelled my order in February when it became apparent BTS weren't going to be able to meet the "Winter 99" deadline I re-ordered again a few weeks ago, so I guess I'm last

Upgrading my drivers and directX version to 7.0a has only modestly improved my graphics in CM, but the game no longer runs as smoothly as it did with my outdated driver. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original driver disk for my video card, so I can't go back. My card is an S3 Savage 4 with 32 MB RAM. Computer is a PIII/500. Surely there is enough processing power there to smooth things out -- but I obviously need to optimize something somewhere. Any suggestions?

Congratulations. The first double-post Lindan I hereby promise that I will nevermore stray off topic.

Easy as pie. I've already scrawled graffiti all over my tanks. Just use whatever paint program you normally use and open up the bit map images.

Backblast, my child. Backblast.

Guess most folks never heard of him. PBS has a bio posted at http://www.pbs.org I don't agree with half of what the guy had to say, but no historian delving into Nazi Germany should skip this personality.

While slumming around the board here this evening, a nifty little docu-drama on Dietrich Bonhoeffer came on PBS. Looks like a BBC production. Looks a bit made-up (okay, a lot made-up), but still pretty cool. Worth checking out if it comes on in your area.

Well, it's no consolation, but churches got windows -- big ones usually.

Mods for Pods and Sods!

That's what I figured. The rifle discrepancy in the squad is just the difference between "available" and "spare". Presumably the heavy weapons guys have (or ought to have) a rifle handy.

That was from the Film Waterloo. Wellington said it.

Damn, can't believe I forgot The Odd Angry Shot and The Lighthorsemen! TOAS soundtrack could use some spicing up though! Sounds like a cheesy porno. ermmm...not that I'd know of course...

It means you posted less than thirty posts on the forum.

Wouldn't dare contradict BTS, (Not while they still have my game ), but I'll put the info from the US Army Handbook here, which comes from T/07-35T, 24 Feb, 1944: HQ Company: -----7 Officers, 165 men -----8 .30 cal MG -----4 81mm mortars -----9 Bazookas Rifle Company (x 3) -----8 Officers, 168 men ----------Rifle Platoon (x 3) ---------------HQ (2 Off., 5 men) ---------------2 LMG ---------------1 Bazooka ----------Rifle Squad (x3) ---------------12 men ---------------1 .30 cal LMG ---------------1 BAR ---------------2 .30 cal Carbines ---------------10 .30 cal Rifles M1 ----------60mm Mortar Squad ---------------6 men ---------------1 60mm Mortar Glider Battalions were set up differently with more heavy weapons.

I beleive I mentioned Little David (and all its stats) in the same CM2 wishlist that Lindan referred to. Of course, my handle was different then... http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/002506.html [This message has been edited by Formerly Babra (edited 06-15-2000).]

So why the hell are you here and not picking and packing, dammit! Back to the warehouse with thee!

Earth tones make great matting. Ask your framer for his input -- he's the pro.

It has been conclusively proven by "Walkerton Force" that no military plumbing is deadlier than Canadian Hardware. (In-joke for Ontarians, with apologies to the families of the dead).

I confess I haven't seen Tribes in... oh... hmmm... Well, Nixon was still squirming and Cambodia was still writhing... Guess it's been a while

Stürmörser Karl came in two flavours: The Gerät 040 with 60cm mortar and the Gerät 041 with 54cm mortar. A total of six Gerät 041 were built. Weight was 120 Tons (Okay, the crew can run with it, but they fatigue easily).

Waterloo (sucky dialog but a great effort) Sink the Bismark Ice Cold in Alex Iron Angel and of course.... wait for it.... Kelly's Heroes!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Germanboy: The original Kangaroos were 'defrocked Priests'. The Rams had been converted to open-topped 75mm SP arty carriers, called 'Priest' or 'Holy Rollers'<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The Rams were taken out of the Canadian TO&E in 1943, just prior to HUSKY. Some were converted to Arty Observation tanks with extra radios in place of the main gun and saw service with Brits and Canadians in Normandy as OP and Command Tanks. Just prior to TOTALIZE, the Canadian AGRA units which were using M7 Priests on loan from the Americans re-equipped with Sextons. The 105mm guns on the Priests had already been removed and returned to the Americans, but the chassis remained. It was these chassis which Simonds drafted into use as the first Kangaroos. They proved so successful that the mothballed Rams in England were converted to APCs and shipped over after the M7 hulls were returned to the US forces.

Apart from looking for opponents, I won't be cutting into my gaming time by hanging around here anyway
