The good news is that TacOp stracks every man and bullet/round! In short, it ROCKS! I've been an addict since '94 when it first came out. -Chris

I have YET to see a CAS mission in CM!!! They never seem to appear in QB's. And I think that CAS isn't modelled realistically in CM. I feel the restrivtions on CAS are more to prevent their overuse. FRUSTRATED!!! EZ

OK< I did a QB and bought 3 fighter bombers. Where are they? Are they controlled by FO's like arty? Do they appear at random? TIA -EZ

Personally, I like it. And for those who don't, then don't use it, but thanks for providing it. My next question is when's the Mac version coming out? Thanks, EZ

Actually, the Major has developed versions of TacOps specifically for the Canadian Army and the US Marines (I believe) and I think several other countries. So it's already in use as a training tool by actual military organizations. I've been playing TacOps since '94 when it first came out and it's still the best modern warfare simulation. I believe it's a valuable teaching tool for tactics. And it's better to learn those lessons in the classroom than in the field! EZ [This message has been edited by EZJCA (edited 07-21-2000).]

I would suggest "Crusade, The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War" by Rick Atkinson. EZ

Actually, my workaround was to move the Humber during the setup phase. If you wait until the game starts then you're really screwed! EZ

Glad I have a Mac! But I sympathize with ya. EZ

Might want to have the stuck vehicle "button" and blow up the house with another vehicle. Might worke...never tried it but I have had my follow on forces get stuck in buildings. Bummer. Btw, I just finished All or Nothing as Allies and am now going to try as the Jerrys. EZ

I noticed today while playing CM that the mine signs for vehicle minefields have an extra line of (albeit blurry) text underneath the mine signs for troop mines. It seems to be a good indicator of which type of minefield is there. Anyone else notice this or am I just late to the party? EZ

Before this gets padlocked <g> I hope BTS takes all of the staff to Bora Bora (always heard it was nice there) and then hurries home for lots of CODING <vbg> EZ

THANKS!!! for the Mac textures. My only problemo is that AhOLe keeps bumping me off before the 17 Meg d/l finishes. Oh well, one day when I get my cable modem and the winning lottery numbers BEFORE the drawing and pigs fly... EZ

BTW, what the hell is a junior member vs. a member? Also, what are the following abbreviations? IIRC, VoT? TIA. EZ

I heard about it off and on for about a year on the TacOps e-mail group. When it finally was released, I immediately bought it THEN d/l the demo. (What's wrong with that picture? <g>). Anyhow, It rocks! Just waiting for v.1.0.whatever. Thouroughly enjoying it so far. Can't wait for continued improvements. EZ

One alternative is to keep the Bazooka teams in the rear half of the building hidden and out of los to the fron. Then, when the tanks are right where you want (or after the first has hit the mine) move them up to the edge of the buildings and into LOS. Just one idea. Of course, you'll have to have someone else observing... EZ

I already did a search and got squat. Wy question is, what is the average delay other players are experiencing when an MG JAMS? It seems to me about 2-3 minutes, but one time, the gun was out for the entire battle (about 12 turns). EZ

I've only played 2 battles and 1 op. I have had my ass handed to me and then again I've done some handing. My question is what are your favorite (or least) battles and ops?

OK, so Mac users get the SHAFT again. When can we get some skins???? EZ

I'm always late to the party! <g> Thanks! EZ

Just wondering what the status of the 1.0.3 patch is? TIA, EZ

I just wanted to say that I LOVE CM. However, it shouldn't take 3 (I think it is) E-mails to play one turn. It would be better if it were more user friendly and if the players wanted to prevent "cheating" then they could exchange only 1 turn per E-mail as ooposed to 2. I'm basing this on my experience with TacOps (which I feel comfortable mentioning since it's in the Battlefront.com "stable". Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else shared my concerns with PBEM. Once TCP/IP gets off the ground (soon, I hope?) Then this will pretty much become a moot point. But until then... EZ

I've got a VooDoo 2 on my Mac and the only feature I can't get is High Quality Smoke. I haven't played in fog yet but I do get transparent buildings and the other apparently good stuff like infinite horizon. Cheers. EZ
