Thx KD, that is a refreshing note. Take your time, da I dont want rush software. I hope my boss doesnt want that kind either. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Agreed. It is a sad thing. There are always somebody around the Net who lack self-respect and maturity. Griffin. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mr. Clark: Jeff, Just wanted you to know that I took your post as you meant it... so not EVERYONE thought you were a total swine! I've always argued on this sort of topic that it REALLY should not be an issue what gender someone is on a gaming forum. I remember a female on the Unreal Tournament forum who received all sorts of harrassment, along with some rather disgusting/perverted pictures posted for her "benefit", supposedly as a "joke." It's REALLY a shame that harrassment and discrimination is being ironed out of the workplace, only to be rampant online.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

oops! dbl post

Frist thing: in 1.1b states that the attacking side have more force advantage. So, even in ME, check the "attacker" option. I have seen most of the time the attacker has at least 2:1 advantages over the defender in the infantry department -- and they are veterans! Cool 8) BUT... As others pointed out, the tweak in 1.1b has gone a little extereme. I tried several 500-points combined-arms QB which the computer don't get any armor at all. Sometime you have jeeps, infantry guns and even mines (I like that) I think BTW are working very hard on this one right now. In the meantime, you may wish to stay with 1.05 Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

I know some software like PaintShop Pro which can convert between formats but they are all shareware. I may dig around a bit for freeware convertors.

Serectly, I picked up a Klingon B11 for German in a ME loaded with type IV drones....I think I can have a King Eagle CC too. BTW, plasma equppied Fed BCJ (iirc) is too cool to miss too. OTOH, my pre-order is made with EB but not DigiRiver...oh mine! Wish me luck. Griffin. P.S. Make sure you get the "Bonus Mission Patch" now which is out earlier and I read that tomorrow they will have a point release patch for Voodoo texture bugs and long campaign fixes. That is what I did during the office hours... ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Quoted MadMatt: The "Cool Star Trek Game" StarFleet Command 2: Empires at War is out. Some lucky people have it but mine is still travelling. Curse Interplay, this thing will certainly occupy me after BG2, which I think I have completed all but 1.5 side-quests in Chapter 2 and now I am in Chapter 4. Dear PBEM opfor, spare me....

Hey 420, It is in the CM FAQ... For PC, you can use Alt+Print Screen to copy a in-game shot to the clipboard. If you want soemthin more sophiscated, try HpyerSnap. For Mac, iirc, it would be Option+3. Hope it helps. Griffin. P.S. Where is my turn? ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

But an educated guess will be your squad will not have their "nationality" painted on their heads and well...CAS in "CM-style" happens. I watched an show of "Tech Now" and they said MS hired some WW2 verterans (both US and Jap) to check the flight model in CFS2. Reviews in SimHQ.com and CGO say CFS2 is okay but not so according to CombatSim.com Well the best flight-sim for WW2 PTO is still 1942PAW.

Sad but true, appearently EAW is the defintely the WW2 west front sim for some time. But according to CGO, B17][ is very encouraging but still it is no EAW. Let's see what the Russians are going to do about hardcore sims.

Hey! Thanks for the heads-up!!! But where can I find this list? I normally don't use ICQ.

Hello BTS ppl, What is up with the final 1.1? I am not rushing good people but just curious, and hope it would not kill any "cat". Meantime, keep "testing" tcp/ip games...

Artillery, o/b or on-board, are very effective on small map, small points. Right landing at the right point can shatter a good portion of enemy in no time. Sweet! But bear in mind that shells, especially rockets, "have no eyes" (that is what Chinese comment on weapons in general), make sure you know where you are pointing at or you men suffer.

Actually, PERL is not a CGI "favor", you can view it as a way to handle requests and responses for your http server. Actually, there are many other means to talk with CGI from the server pov. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Colonel_Deadmarsh: Griffin, Thanks for your explanation on Perl. One question: Is PERL a certain "flavor" of CGI? Are there other forms of CGI? It seems CGI and PERL are always brought up in the same sentence as if it's one language. Can you explain their relation? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Maximus: Forgive my ignorance, but what is PERL?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Let's see if I can make you understand this: PERL is a scripting lanuguage available on many platforms including Win PC, Mac, Linux, etc. (Actually it is a acynomn but I cannot remember) It is created by Larry Wall and its strength mainly lies on string processing, pattern matching and file I/O. It was the CGI language of choice back in the early web days around 1995 but now we have a large variety of competitors like servlets, ASP, SSJS, PHP, etc who works better and safter than Perl in CGI department. It is not object-oriented in mind. Another problem is the syntax of Perl can go really wierd especially in the hands of experts -- their codes can be difficult for others to read. Various modules and revisions expand its functionality to database access, object-oriented data handling, graphics, BBS like this, etc. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

I came across a thread posted early this year which mentioned some: "A Midnight Clear" "Massacre In Rome" Both of them are not in DVD BTW, I came across a TV documenatary series in 1995 on PBS, each episode tells famous battle in World War 2 with in-depth analysis. I watched the "Battle of Midway" episode. Question is: what is the title of the series? Is it also on DVD?

The problem seems to be more serve in 1.1b6 than the original 1.05. In a 700-pt-ME-QB, German has 1 motar ht where the US have only 1 M18 Hellcat. I hope BTS is listening...

If you are using Mac, look at the TCP/IP setting in the Control Panel. BTW, your IP address is shown automatically if you setup a TCP/IP game. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"
