Mr. Clark

So does the problem apply only to HT's, or to ANY vehicle vs. Grenades? (Sorry, coming in late and confused.)

Better get some copies of the game in stock!!! Congrats BTS! ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Good idea Tom! I'm gonna give this a try myself... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Okay, this list certainly makes sense. I already use Sharpshooters and HQ units in combo as my battlefield observers. I was called "Gamey" once for using Sharpshooters as scouts... but I shrugged it off after watching Saving Private Ryan again and noticing the sniper acting in this role in the end battle. After all, if it was in a movie it MUST be true!

LORD GENERAL, It may not be the best... but my MOD for the Kubelwagen can be found in this thread: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/014311.html Lo-Res and all. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

The 10 episode HBO series BAND OF BROTHERS (produced by Spielberg and Hanks) will be on sometime this year... I personally cannot wait. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

A reply by the entity known as BTS in the post about targeting arty spotters brought a question to my mind that I had not considered before... For game purposes, are some units assumed (programmed) sighting range based on having binoculars handy? What Units would this include? (as they would obviously be the best units to sneak into an enemy overwatch position) As I said, I had not considered this to be included in the game, but if it is... AWESOME! Thanks! ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Don't worry, it will only be a couple of weeks before you can get your copy from what MadMatt recently stated. I think he said end of this month. Anyhoo, welcome aboard! [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-11-2001).]

No kidding! It's great! Nearly infinite depth of play here.

Thanks for the update! I just started using this Utility after the Scott Adams thread, and I love it. Makes everything completely quick and simple! ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Looks good Tiger! Where is it? Is it Hi or Lo res? (Not that it matters... I'll just convert it...) ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Great Idea!

Actually, it loads faster for me now than it did at the other spot. Great site ya got there, by the way! ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

I've recently become one... except the last TRP was placed a little too close to my own platoon. Nevertheless, it is EXCELLENT to be able to use your FO's from the back of the map! I'm tired of sneaking them up into the next place to be overrun by the enemy... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

C'mon Lurkers, arise! Your posts won't ignored any more than the vast majority of mine! Your revelations won't be as startling as The Commissars recently acknowledged fondness for "pretty little horsies." Your spelling cannot possibly be worse than ROB 1's! You won't be any more baffled by Rexford's arcane technical spouting as the rest of us! You can't insult someones shiny new mod's any worse than Maximus! Certainly you can't PO people here more than Gunny Bunny. You won't be the first to be yelled at by MadMatt. And finally, your ultimate banning can't be any more gloriously blazing as Fionn's. So c'mon... SPEAK OUT! (Now where EXACTLY is this "smiley Legend"???) ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order." [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-11-2001).]

Congrats on receiving proper recognition BTS!!! ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Based on this news, I think everyone should use E-Mail or a chat to continue this conversation... wouldn't want to see BTS or any of you in trouble. The company I work for (...and hate) ran through a copyright action, and it isn't pretty.

Looks sweet! I have to agree, a Hi + Lo Res version would be nice. (...and I'll take an Aston Martin.) ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

If possible, that's a GREAT idea Firefly! I have noticed that some opponents either DEMAND, or HATE zip files... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

I believe the old 1.1 complaint about smoke was that it was fired too often towards weak or INFANTRY units. Since you say that there was visible armor in your positions, the firing of smoke by the AI makes sense. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

D'oh! I didn't think of the little cute Pikachu armies getting gunned down while my daughter watched... I guess it's not such a good idea... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

I'm pretty sure that no matter WHAT other orders a unit has, as long as it is in the process of sneaking it won't engage... Thus, the sneaking. It will return fire. I find that MOVE works well, allowing units to fire at enemies while moving to a new location. EDITED for 6th grade spelling... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order." [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-09-2001).]

My daughter would certainly enjoy watching me play CM more... ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."

Thanks BTS!!! 'Nuff said. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order." [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 02-11-2001).]

This may not be entirely on topic, but: Playing a scenario, I had some TD's firing at a Panther from a treeline. The panther was in a city, and had no idea where the fire was coming from. The shots kept bouncing off or breaking up... I finally got a tread hit and immobilized the beast. The TD's kept pummeling the tank with ricochetes until the crew finally bailed (NOT a KO... the crew just bailed... I suspect because of the immobilized + no idea where fire was coming from.) It's stuff like this that makes CM better than any other wargame... every single battle is unique. ------------------ "Fear is for the enemy... Fear and Bullets." "They didn't want to come... but I told em, by jeepers, it was an order."
