There is a DirectX upgraded version of X-wing and TIE Fighter (iirc, with all mission expansion) plus demo of "X-wing vs. TIE Fighter) which uses "X-Wing Alliance" engine. From what I have read, looks like LucasArts repackages the whole stuff into "X-Wing trilogy" and will be on sale around Xmas.

I tried a game against myself using my PC (PPPoE) and PowerBook (dial-up). With PC setting up a QB, there is no hassle.

Mord, yep! Airbrone Ranger was REAL fun! Too bad they never make a sequel out of it. Compassion, original Castle Wolfenstein is cool but the "3D" version gets old too quickly. "Aces over Europe" could be on my list but enemy AI cheated -- big time! I learn memory tweaking when playing Ultima VII. 420, how bout YOUR list? Huh? BTW, wanna an online CM game 2nite? Check your mailbox... Looks like a lot of multi-interest old-timers here. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

Mr. Clark, Many HBO programs are in VHS and some even in DVD. I can come to "Sorphonos", "Sex and The City", "Tuskegee Airmen", etc are available to views who do not have HBO (overseas like me) installed.

Mi Lord, I strongly recommend ASL Maps and Scenario conversion to CM site as one of the great sites: http://www.asl2cm.com Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Hum, my PC counterpart won an Allied Major and my Mac loses I am the final winner becuase a lot of interesting thing observated such as how FOW works and other stuff when you can have pov of both sides simultaneously. But still my Mac's 120mm motar FO score all the killings. Griffin -- owner of both Griffin-PC and Griffin-PB. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Well, I played a 500-QB between Griffin-PC and Griffin-PB, I find that the other side does not see any mod you made. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Thanks for the encouragment. I think I can go with anybody who is not having PBEM an interplay session. 420, I am going to give it a shot, sometime Fri or Sat after 2200 HKT. See u in opponent finder forum. In the meantime, I will try it first with Griffin-Mac.... ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

First I am not skeptical but my problem is in my time zone, there are not so many opfor to play online. PBEM seems okay for me for I cannot afford to spend 2 hrs each nite after work. (But I will if I get a chance to) So I think I am going to be an occaion online player. I think it is definitely better than CC. I am stuck in work-place right now so I cannot test how much fun it would be. BTW, I am one of those who voted CM release first then TCP/IP patch later Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Let me guess, have you get the correct TCP/IP config working? Check the "Control Panel". Hope it helps. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Thanks you my Lord. But since I use ADSL/PPPoE, the IP address is automaticaly shown on the "dailer" software. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

If you have icq, you can find your ip from status screen. If you don't, try using command "ipconfig /all" on Win95/98/NT I suggest you people who are lucky to test TCP right now to CMHQ Annex or just ICQ/AIM/Yahoo/MSN Messagner.

"Initiating downlaod sequence...download sequence completed" I get it! It is so wonderful to have your Powerbook (aka mobile wargaming system) in the office! Now, tonite we will have a Griffin-PC vs. Griffin-Mac duel. Hehe Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Yee Ha! Woo! Whew! Wow! Hurray! Three cheers to BTS, 3 more when the final TCP/IP arrives! Now take a break BTS. Bravo Zulu! Downloading the beta patch right now... Griffin. P.S. The above is all I can express in words.

Sorry Tom, but broken link here. Griffin. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by aka_tom_w: try this does your game look like this? It could I really like this interface. -tom w<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

NP, BTS, Just make it right. I like cars of quality and can rush. I like software of quality but no rush. Keep it up. I am still around.... Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Okay, be cool man! The nice thing about being in the opposite side of time zone is when something happen in US midnight, we are awake (kinda). OTOH, I feel like I always lag behind in discussions, I just into when it is getting cool. I still waiting and well, looks like I am just have a little more patience than the others.

No connection.... I humbly suggest everybody just keep calm and wait for offical announcements. I don't want to see another Gold Demo fiasco again. I like fast and quality tanks. I like quality software but no rush. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

"Since you peoople do not post where we can find these great scenarioes, thanks to the CM Scenario Database, they are located with real ease. Hats off to these people who make these great things for us!" -- Yes this is an ad. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

Well, iirc, some other threads have pointed out that "Gun Damanged" does not necessary mean that the gun firing or breaching mechanism is physically damanaged, but the gunnery optics as well. If the gunner sight is gone, there is not way to aim and fire the gun, may be this applies to co-ax as well. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?"

Franko, Read about your plans about a new ops in other thread. Can't wait. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI." "Can't get enough Tank?" [This message has been edited by GriffinCheng+ (edited 11-28-2000).]
