I have SPR on video, not DVD. But, I just got Kelly's Heroes and A Bridge Too Far on DVD. Really nice. ------------------ Land Soft, Kill Quiet

Very nice. I got the Sherman and Panther for Christmas. Both "toys" are very detailed. Not sure about the sherman hatch--maybe storage or access to the engine. The panther has the engine compartment accessible (with no engine of course). It also has an operating rear turret door in back--pretty neat. I've already started adding a little of my own detailing to them. Oh yeah, they have a Stuart tank out for the 12" figures--wow!! Check out this site for some nice pics. http://www.users.qwest.net/~challagan/XDMain.htm ------------------ Land Soft, Kill Quiet

Took me less than a week to get CM--in Pennsylvania. Course, no holiday mail to cope with in July. ------------------ Land Soft, Kill Quiet [This message has been edited by Airborne (edited 12-28-2000).]

Merry Christmas, Mace. And also, to all of the others I've met here since July. Have a great holiday. Back at ya, Adder.

Hey Jake, For whatever reason, the same thing happened to me. I thought I knew how to install a patch correctly--been doing it quite a bit lately. The only thing that worked for me was deleting the new patch file, and re-downloading it. I also deleted all old patches except for 1.05. I d/l directly into my CM root directory. Then, I dbl clicked on it to extract and it worked. The correct patch is displayed in the game. ------------------ Land Soft, Kill Quiet

I just checked these units in the editor. Yep, no ammo for Sharpshooters and Flames. Could be a problem. ------------------ Land Soft, Kill Quiet

Go under control panel. Click on mouse and look at the pointer tab. Use the normal select (or something like that). I originally had a problem with the demo using a custom mouse cursor. Hope this helps. ------------------ Land Soft, Kill Quiet

Yes, I always remember this day. Course, it is my birthday, too. Never forget the vets..

I really like this movie, especially some of the dialog and characters. However, the actual combat scenes, while real, are oftentimes, hopelessly out of place. And the final crash on the carrier deck showing a Korean war era jet is hilarious. Also, regarding pacific war movies in general, how many times do we have to see Pearl Harbor scenes with SBD Dauntlesses dive bombing? Hollywood, ...jesh... ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

I had a Voodoo 3 2000 pci and originally, could not see realistic smoke. The fix was loading the current drivers from 3dfx and DX7. Worked like a charm after that but I rarely played on resolutions greater than 800X600. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. RW and CM work fine for me. Many players cannot receive while in the game. They have to esc out to receive. It is a blast if both players have it. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Hey Earl, I found the .bmp and did some tinkering. Email on the way. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

If I'm caught when a spotting round comes in, I generally run or move out of the area. If a barrage is coming in thick, I generally hunker down and hide. I only rarely use the crawl option. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Hi Earl, thanks for the kind words re: my patch mod. Are you asking for a change to the patch that is displayed in the scenario page?? IIRC, someone had changed that look, not sure where it is located. But, they didn't change the 101st symbol--I'm sure it can be done. Formerly, Eco 505th PIR, 3d Bde. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

I only have Das Boot right now on DVD. I hope to get Kellys Heroes and A Bridge too Far soon (my favorite). Mr. clark, the book is great and the movie is very well done. edit: I also liked "A Piece of Cake". Very well done except for the ahistorical use of Spitfires based in France. Still, a great series, will have to look for it. Also, really enjoyed the Sharpe's Rifle series (Napoleonics-Spain). ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

I agree with Chupacabra here. I went with a new Dell and picked up the one with pretty much all of the specs of the refurb above sited by Supertanker. 1Ghz, Pent III, 256m ram, 64 mb GeForce2. Go on-line to www.Dell.com and spec one out for yourself. That is a great price. So far, I've been real happy with Dell. CM really rocks, and the hi-res mods are beautiful to behold Good luck. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

I disagree with this post, to a certain extent. I DO agree that it is great to be able to explore the wonderful visions this game offers by replaying turns--and not missing out on anything. But, I played 3 games the first day 11/29 and had a blast. The timer was set for 3 and 4 minutes which made me feel much more immersed in a "real world" situation. I agree with Deanco here. Most of my pbem games take quite a while to finish--weeks instead of hours. However, I will still play pbem games because I may not always have the time for tcp/ip. The feature of switching back and forth between the 2 methods will be great--haven't tried this yet. When I want to take in the beauty of a new mod, I fire up a small QB and have a go. TCP/IP is wonderful, and doesn't take away from the other options , IMHO. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Very nice, Waxx. I've got some updates to the mods I sent you. I'll be finished with them soon. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Right back at ya, Bill. You have a great one!! ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Grrrrrr, double post.. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it." [This message has been edited by Airborne (edited 11-21-2000).]

I have seen something similar only when the vehicles jam up at the bridge. Make sure you use adequate spacing (use the pause command) between vehicles. Otherwise, tanks and vehicles seem to negotiate bridges fine. If driven close to a bridge edge at the ends, they do tend to "fall" off of the bridge. Hope this helps. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Welcome to our world, Norman. At least you've realized that you now have to give up your life as you once new it. CM Borg???? ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Are you sure the parameters specify snow on the ground--not just falling as weather? I've never heard of this one and I had a Voodoo 3 that worked fine. What are the specs for your pc? Do you have current video drivers and DirectX?? ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."

Thank you Tiger. This is what I've been waiting for. These should great with the subdued terrain textures. ------------------ "If it bleeds..we can kill it."
