1) Whole thing is explosive, it blows trenches. 2)Correct, you dont want to get a wing or prop caught on a steel cable, which held the balloons up.

I just read See Spot Run, and I still didn't understand parts of it. But its up there with Voltaire and Plato I'm sure.

I stand by Tomb Raider

Patience is a virtue or something like that my friend. It will come...soon enough...

Get out there and vote for CMBO. But vote for Half-life counterstrike as best First Person Shooter.

Get Tomb Raider Chronicles

Give a guy a paintbrush, some paint, and some time and he'll paint the vehicle any way he wants to. That was sort of the case in 44, some crews painted the vehicle how they wanted, but it wasn't like that all the time.

They would tell a fighter where to go, or tell someone who was in communication with the fighter and they would be sent to the General area and told what to hit, according to Steven Ambrose in one of his books.

Is this Russian Sniper movie being filmed in the USSR, or in the USA?

Whats the blast radius of a 380mm HE rocket round?

We'll get our best wargamer of the board to fight Mr. Trotter in a CM QB. Then that title of "Worlds Best Wargamer" will be taken away.

I guess It was the way I interpreted it, I'm more of a "yes" or "no" answer type guy. But I guess thats my own problem

Sort of sorry I posted this one, you guys got real, pissed at me for asking. I just wanted to know why a crew wouldn't surender when really close to a full sqaud, instead I got huge replies with sarcastic remarks in them. But thanks to the few people who actually tried to answer it.

I guess I didn't make clear, I was talking about full crews, ones where their vehicle didn't get completley destroyed. I have crews that make it out with all members in one piece. I think those people, who don't get completley meesed up still have the ability to make logical decsions, especailly a veteran crew. Yes one member who made it out of a burning tank shouldn't be able to think and reason too well. But not having been in combat I can't really speak on how man thinks or behaves under moments of heavy stress.

Regardless if they are broken, they should still have enough sense.

I was playing a game where a Veteran British Airborne sqaud was 8m away from a bunker, they attacked it, knocked it out. Great. But than the crew runs out of the bunker. The Brits mow them down and no more crew. Now if I was the crew I'd be first, pretty shocked from getting knocked out. Than with a british sqaud 8m away, I wouldn't run. I'd surrender. Same thing if a sqaud knocks out a tank at 10-20m. Why would the crew run from 9 guys with rifles and machine guns? Seems like more crews should surrender when close to full sqauds. Atleast a Veteran or Crack squad should be smart enough to make a logical choice.

NT, sorry [This message has been edited by ntg84 (edited 12-18-2000).]

I'm 16, you guys are all really old.

Most people make them stay untill they die, which is "gamey", but I think it would be nice to save some lives and get them out of there.

I dont want all armor, I want atleast one tank and infantry, maybe a halftrack or two.

I've noticed since Beta 1.1, there has been very low ammounts of armor, sometimes none in QB combined forces games. Is this a bug or just my imagination?

Whats that? Inside joke or something?
