I'll let u know how good the panther is...in my PBEM, its getting bombarded by a Jackson and a tank destroyer from >180m...don't look good hehe

2 of us already reported similar behavior with the 'ploded buildings...its v105...says right when game starts

Yep...i agree Mark, but i sincerely think that in the long run...releasing such games is indeed BAD for the stockholders etc. The claim that these guys are droppin like flies outta business because of poor sales is a reflection of the quality of the games issued....its really gotta hurt if even 20% of folks return a game because it isn't running right, isn't supported, and just plain blows...even if the game idea in of itself is genius.

In my PBEM, my squad of 9 Fallschirmjagers (sp?) firepower 259 was in a building vs 12 reg infantry str 196...my supposidely somewhat stronger veteran grade guys lost...score?...Infantry 11 ok, 1 dead...Germans? all dead.... the horror...the horror....

It comes outta Mass. i think and i live there so it was only like 4-5 days for me...but they constantly run out of stock because of the demand...it could be that causing a delay...did u email requesting if they got ur order? If u got a confirmation, i'm sure u'll get it asap

Sure sign i have waaaay too much free time on my hands

I for one really appreciate the well built, supported game the BTS guys/gals have made in this day of "send the game out early" type attitudes. It gives me hope that there is indeed hope for the software industry when someone can: 1) Release a game that works VERY well right outta the box 2) Is supported by staff on their BB etc..etc I, for one, am very impressed with BTS and won't hesitate to buy another from this company. I don't quite understand why other games come out of the gate so poorly sometimes and i think this games helps support my point...a relatively low overhead team making a game that works splendidly, and has sold out 5+ times already even without instore advertising!...to me, that's pretty remarkable and i hope other bigger companies start to get the point i have known for years (gee...u don't have to be a rocket scientist) Release a bad, unsupported game, and word travels fast...despite the millions spent on hype hehe...release a great game and show a genuine love for it like these folks do, then the word spreads likewise. Hail to the smarter gamer and "good on ya" to the folks at BTS.......thanks Fox Keri

My tanks still like to spend precious ammo on buildings that i have blown up but there's no survivors left in the building.anyone else see this?...the last update, i had to uninstall the whole game and then reinstall and add the 1.04 update for the game to work correctly..my tanks were ignoring other tanks 100% of the time in favor of regular infantry over 500m away (even if a Sherm was 50 feet away dead ahead.

I can't either Rob.........

I understand...i just wanted to letcha know its got problems...but mabey i'm doin something wrong...but i have upoaded some stuff so i don't think so....i get the "upload failed" screen....then right below that, i get a success table saying it was saved...but i go to my scenario, and it seems the first "failed" one was right ...oh well...

DOn't ever open any programs sent by unknown people.then u will never have a problem.....Just this week, i got 2 mails from idiots saying there was some unclaimed securities worth millions of dollars that i could claim...providing i provide my Bank name and the account number...what kind of an idiot do they think i am lol...sadly tho...hundreds probably go for it. I always use my pseudo email to reply with an attached bulls^&T file stating that if the openned the letter, a new email tracker system is currently gathering data on the source of the email....hopefully its some uneducated idiot on the other end of this fraud that has to pick up his junk and leave town...

I get a successful upload of scenarios or updated scenarios 1 in 50 tries...mabey less. Ideas?

I likewise disagree as this being "gamey". Refering to it as such by references to the lack of a similar scenario in real life is beyond the point. I think we should look at it as a "what if" situation where some new plan is in the works for instance and executing this plan requires the control of a key town...and the enemie sees this too...so there's a race to control the area. If u wish to use ur argument regarding a lack of ww2 tru-life situations in this scenario, well, there's other game types to play too...a set up of attacker vs. defender would be similar to the situation u describe. I still think the meeting engagement is a valuable and fun game type and is just as likely to become repetitive as any other type because with the exact same componants in the game, the situation may result entirely different depending on troop types, skill, HQ skill lvl..there's a near infinate number of variables that would determine the outcome...if 2 sides both rush the flags...how many do u allocate for each flag?...and will my veteren troops in smaller number (cuz they cost more, i couldn't buy as many) do well against lesser troops in greater number....and if i know he's gonna rush those three flags in a group in town....perhaps i'll sit back, let him occupy....send in 1 squad to see if its occupied 30 sec before i send in a ton of 300mm rockets and 105 artillery onto the flags....if the squad doesn't meet anyone...well..call off the bombardment...if there are enemies there..retreat and watch the fireworks...its alot easier to kill troops after they've been broken once..lots of options that i see... respectfully FoxK [This message has been edited by Fox (edited 08-23-2000).]

please check on the first page of this post, second from the bottom..where i addressed twiggage...i wish we could but its not possible .....bout the ins and outs of mods...just open a .bmp in the bmp folder and take a look at some items (especially the ones with 4 digits in the 3000's...u can use any good paint program (i use photoshop LE) and start drawing stuff on it..save it (don't "save as..)..just save it so it keeps the same format and see how ur changes look and how they effect the vehicle. make sure u copy the original to ur desktop or something so u can replace it back after ur done. large generic sections of color can be filled in quicker by "cut and pasting" ur choice of color...just open up the file the swatch of whatever camo u want or create a "new" file in ur paint program with ur colors or camo and "copy" that to "paste into" the area u want to fill in on ur experiment. Diff. programs have different ways of doin things so i can't help much there. [This message has been edited by Fox (edited 08-22-2000).]

Jeff....:re your comment ******************************************* quote: Actually, it would be nice if the faust icon on the forward screen included a number showing its type, maybe a superscript showing a 3/6/10 or something ******************************************* If u click on ur troops then click enter...u can see the type of faust they carry...it'll say "2 Panzerfaust30" or whatever in read......hope that helps.

if anyone has a special request for a tank camo config...send me a swatch of the paint of a general idea and we'll see what we can do!

If anyone's gonna put some together into some kinda historical "right from the get go" operation...i hope my scenario is a good place to start...only scenario yet i think with an actual "beach" and it's at http://combathq.thegamers.net/depot.html Scroll down till u find "Normandy!" Positive votes are arrpeciated!

Not historical that i know of.....tho those Germans were a little more apt to vary their camo more than the US it seems so who knows..ideas anyone? Was there any special tank that had a purpose oriented camo arrangement?..I think the only steady mod actually employed was to attach actual twiggage and leafness to the tanks but can't remodel the 3d for the tanks for this game...too bad...i'dda like to make a commander's antenna with a little flag on it for the radio [This message has been edited by Fox (edited 08-22-2000).] [This message has been edited by Fox (edited 08-22-2000).]

Mr Peng...Forum is a latin word.....so before u make fun of Americans using "forums"....its plural is Forae not fora hehe [This message has been edited by Fox (edited 08-22-2000).]

feel free to add my tiger to ur site if u want.....looks pretty popular (not poplar )..soot added to rear pipes as well as an added rear German Insignia.http://www.capecod.net/~fkeri/CM.zip [This message has been edited by Fox (edited 08-21-2000).]

my general 2 cents worth...never charge with tanks hehe...they are hugely more effective when kept at a distance as supression till u know where enemies are I win 99% of my quickbattles cuzza this...i'll be in a town and get a few armours with artty...then save some for the inevitible onrush of 3 billion infantry units the puter likes to pick. By the end, ALL their armour is gone for just that reason...AI likes to get too close to the action and hide behind buildings where i have a haust hiding. If they kept all their tanks afar on ridges..they'd do alot better

yeah..tribes one..great game Thanks everyone btw for the comments

Nope...its not Mossy oak lol....hey...bout tribes...they said they were gonna make it so u didn't need the other server to have the skins for them to be seen...this may have been implimented....when's the last time u played? Some games i join actually asks me if i wanna use my custom skins...never did that b4......hopefully they figured a way to economically/efficiantly do it as this would be awesome in other games/flight sims etc too

Thanks Loki...ps...are u the Asheron's Call Loki?
