I had a class in college called "War in Film." (God, I loved freshman year.) We saw about 10 films and wrote short essays about each one. For our final we had to see a film that was not shown in class and write a paper on it. I chose Kelly's Heroes. The kids teaching the class (they were sophomores) hadn't heard of it. So who was teaching whom?

Yeah, Doug, that was my reaction too. I haven't tried it myself. I don't know if the bumping actually frees the tank or if the tank frees itself and the bump is just coincidental.

I think the answer to your question is no. I don't think a mod could do it.

There was a thread a few weeks ago about this. Some people have been able to un-bog a tank by bumping it with another tank. If the tank does not become immobilized it may free itself eventually.

Sunglasses?

Did you know that D-Rations were really Wonka Bars?

Maybe just a tad less shading around the features, but they are very nice.

How about the Goliath?

You shouldn't be playing CM at work.

I sometimes wonder how business got done before computers and fax machines. Now I wonder how I ever played computer games before Combat Mission.

When you install mods they take effect immediately, although I am not sure if you need to reboot CM for some of them. They are only graphics files, so they do not affect gameplay. When you play against another player each of you sees the game with the mods each has installed. You may have all the winter mods installed while your opponent doesn't. You will see the winter camo while your opponent won't. [This message has been edited by Pvt. Ryan (edited 09-22-2000).]

Where are the medics? They are on Wall Street. Where are the sanitators? When I hear the Germans shout that I expect to see a guy show up with a broom and a big can of disinfectant. [This message has been edited by Pvt. Ryan (edited 09-22-2000).]

So, does this mean Matt isn't having a sex change after all? Vanir asked: 2. Why did Matt need to have surgery before he started work? It was just a mod to upgrade him from Battlefront beta to Battlefront gold. Congratulations to all.

I would like to see: Combat Mission: King Arthur - Beyond the Round Table

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Madmatt: I appreciate the support guys but plans are in the works to make this all be resolved peacfully in a way that will have the least amount of impact to CMHQ. Madmatt <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think Matt is alluding to a sex change operation again.

I had a similar problem when working on an Omaha Beach scenario. The Americans would flee down the beach instead of trying to move up to the beach exits. I solved the problem by putting the friendly edge of the map opposite the troops, i.e. the same side as the exit. Your troops may be afraid to cross the bridge, but they will do so if they perceive that they can seek safety on the other side. It improved my scenario immensely.

MadMatt, I am pretty sure the contract between you and TGN is binding. They sent you a contract to sign, you signed it, and returned it to them. Their parent company was not named or identified in the contract, so you could not know that the contract was subject to their approval. TGN, has apparent authority (that's a legal term) to bind its parent company to a contract if it acted as if it had the authority to do so. Judgement for Plaintiff. Mr. Madmatt, please see Rusty the bailiff as you exit the courtroom as he has some papers for you to sign.

And how about paying $6 to park to see a $9 movie? LA costs money, but it is expensive to live no matter where you are. Except in West Virginia. I think they pay you to live there.

I still haven't received my membership card. I hope it gets here soon, because I will be renting a car next week and I was told that CM membership entitles you to rental car discounts. And a discount at pets.com.

If it was just a sound contact your troops aren't sure where the vehicle actually is and the sound contact keep moving around until your troops spot it visually. This has happened to me. If this isn't what you are talking about, then I can't help you.

I think you have them confused with Vikings. They are probably attachments for the liner or strap, as David Aitken said. I have noticed that the WWI version had more pronounced "horns." I guess the WWII version used a more modern rivet that had a flush appearance.

Wasn't that kind of gamey?

This is taken from Ambrose's D-Day, which I am currently reading: A small hay barn on the south side of the church square was on fire, evidently caused by a tracer. The first men to land in an around the town were from the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne, although their objective was Ste.-Marie-du-Mont. Lt. Richard Winters was the ranking officer, as the company commander was killed when his plane crashed. Four men from that group were killed, as the Germans were distracted by the fire. After the men of the 506th scattered, the second platoon of F Company, 505th PIR, landed right on top of Ste.-Mere-Eglise. By this time the German garrison was fully alerted and fired on the men as they drifted down and as they landed. Ambrose does ot say how many paratroopers were hit or give any information on the German garrison. A few hours later Lt. Col. Ed Krause, 3rd Battalion, 505th PIR (I think from the 82nd, as Ambrose is talking about the 82nd at this point) headed towards Ste.-Mere-Eglise with 180 men. When they got there the fire was out and the town's residents and the Germans had gone back to sleep. The paratroopers quitely worked their way into town and were directed to the German billets by a local Frenchman. Thirty Germans surrendered and ten were shot trying to resist At that point, Ste.-Mere-Eglise was taken. I hope this helps. You will need to replace the ambient sound wav with ringing bells if you want an authentic atmosphere.

Didn't you play for the Mets? I could have sworn there was a Rommel Swaboda on the Mets in the 70s.

To create a setup file start out as if you were playing against the computer, go to quick battle (if that's what you want to play), set the parameters, choose your side and then select PBEM when given the choice of type of game you want. I am pretty sure that is the order, but you can figure it out easily. Then you will be given the opportunity to select your units. After you finish, it will ask you to name the file - call it SETUP or something. Then you go to your e-mail program and attach that file to your e-mail, and send it to your opponent. After that, just sit back and regret every move you make.
