  1. did you play ALL those scenarios? smile.gif

    i was pleased to see you had my two scenarios I posted to cmhq...

    (crappy "Maneuver Warfare", and silly "Crazy Maze")

    I now have another at

    http://www.geocities.com/russellmz/cm/scenarios/Burpelson.zip

    ((be sure to "right-click" and "save as..."))

    i just sent in the form for my new scenario to the CM scenario database.

    http://russellmz.homestead.com/files/Burpelson/DrStrangelove.html

    is my new website to promote it and let it be previewed...

  2. thje thing is, you almost never see amphib charges when the two sides are evenly matched...

    the attacker usually has naval and air superiority before they even think about starting one.

    ike said he would not have planned? the d-day invasion unless he had air superiority.

    jap islands were isolated, with heavy battleships and carriers blowing away any island defenders above ground.

    napoleon + hitler could not breach the channel because of the naval superiority of the brits, despite better land forces...

    Why do people have problems with cookies? Have they ever caused a problem for anyone? I like that they remember all my preferences and passwords for various sites, and the cookie.txt file is rather small. What is the big deal (I ask innocently)? :confused:<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    they could send back info about where you surf to the their evil corporate masters.

    you are not compensated at all for this, and rarely given a choice about it either.

    bfast, nettaxi, doubleclick all leave cookies even tho you probably never went to their site because of their banners at other websites...they proabably record your surfing habits and report back be sold to ad companies.

    and besides stealing your data with little or no warning(a triple reduce sized warning at the bottom of a another webpage doesn't count morally, even if it does legally...) that doesn't even cover those companies' annoying triple new window open ads, freaking keep reopening no matter how many times you click, and the all time favorite, crash the browser crapola.

    How wish that i could give those aSSinine companies a taste of the annoyances they caused me.

    you COULD turn off cookies, but that just leaves some sites useless(yahoo won't work unless i have permenant cookies enabled) or inconvienient like this UBB since you'd have to re-type data everytime you post.

    i just downloaded Cookies manager from http://www.zdnet.com and apparently it is working well stopping cookies from annoying sites while keeping the good.

    if you want it search for "Cookies" i think and look for the one that has a lot of stars from both zdnet, users, AND is free.

    I once ran CMBO on a energizer battery with a piece of cheese wrapped around it.

    How could you tell the in-game sounds from the "boom boom boom" drumming of the energizer bunny?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    he probably had it set to spell it out in binary

  7. the BAD

    -------------

    colors...nuff said

    if a post has multiple page numbers then the page numbers are listed on the RIGHT --> rather than the LEFT <-- on top of the post where they normally are.

    links are orange BUT NOT UNDERLINED...ugh

    hopefully a few of these things will be corrected when the colors are fixed.

    harder to tell when a post was edited because it sez so BEFORE your sig instead of after.

    if u click edit on a post that isn't yours it won't let you see the post since you are not the guy who wrote it...this means you cant see the url of images in that post without using "view source" in your browser...annoying

    to search for a post by someone handle you need to type in an id number, not the name...ugh

    the GOOD

    -------------------

    can do ubb much more easily with the buttons on the bottom & smillies

    sig automatically added: yay!

    add a pic of yourself to profile

    the EH, WHATEVER

    font is one size smaller for some reason.

    when u edit a profile, you have to click profile, then click edit profile...kinda annoying but no less than when u had to type in a password

    My valiant platoon approached as ordered and then the shiny new .50 cal opened up...the assault failed, my platoon was annihilated and I lost the scenario. Thanks to a well known, often reported and nasty bug.

    sucks dude...tough break.

    hmmm...at least we know the "MG can't stop a human wave assault" bug is not a problem in that game smile.gif

    Tanks entered the city in marching column formations, to assume controlling positions on crossroads and such. Most tanks carried no active armor. There were no dismounted infantry covering the tanks.

    doesn't reactive armor precluse the use of dismounted infantry?(shrapnel from the reactive armor when tanks get hit)
