in one scenario in particular the fighters nailed all the nazi reserve armor and half tracks...i was able to mop up easily... of course a fighter nailed one of my own tanks as i advanced, but was a "fair trade" i guess... ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

your comparions have made me go and try out the new terrain pack... btw, not only does your site close the window when i saved a file, when i hit yr link to cmhq and downloaded the terrain pack, it closed my window too, which never happened before. is yr website server causing that? weird... great work as usual! ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

i almost forgot Seven Samurai, the ultimate edition movie by criterion(they don't call it that but it is: u will never see better quality video of this classic, you don't have to change video cassettes cause of length, and the commentary by michael jeck is very good) make sure not to watch the trailer till after you see the movie as it gives the ending away http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviews/sevensamurai.html ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show [This message has been edited by russellmz (edited 12-02-2000).] [This message has been edited by russellmz (edited 12-03-2000).]

what do you mean changing height? i use the 1-8 keys to switch view of CTRL-a and CTRL-z to change camera height. that should stop the accidental go hits... i would really hate the confirm button because it would do it for every turn, effectively making it four times as long to get the turn started(hit GO, wait for confirm, move mouse over, hit Yes i want to go) i'd go crazy after the third confirmation...for the love of all that's holy, NO CONFIRMATION PLEASE! ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show [This message has been edited by russellmz (edited 12-01-2000).]

1) first off, i never had the situation i described here happen before so bear with me: the green german unit was in rubble trying to escape the mogolian horde of ameris approaching. most were shooting at the germ unit. the unit was facing a burning building which it obvioously could not enter. so it kept bobbing and popping up and down trying to get up. (no, not getting shot, it was different, the bobbing happened like ten times) it looked pretty silly. was this the game reacting normally, with a green unit refusing to stay up in face of firepower while not wanting to stay down at the bad position where the ameris were coming? 2) when i was playing and i used the shift and mouse to move laterally around the map, when i stopped, SOMETIMES there would be a slight 'lag' as the screen paused for like a quater sec before scrolling to normal. never happened that i noticed before. my 3d card is nvidia riva tnt2 model 64, 600mhz pentium dell. 128 megs ram, no problems before. any reason why this is? ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

Meanwhile the commander of the 132d Infantry, who was suffering from malaria and the debilitating effects of the tropics, had asked to be relieved.51 Col. Alexander M. George took over command of the regiment and arrived at the 132d Infantry's forward command post at 0915, 1 January. One of his first acts was to stage a dramatic exhibition to demonstrate to the tired battalions facing the Gifu that Japanese small-arms fire was generally ineffective against a moving target. Clad in shorts and a fatigue cap, and armed with two .45-caliber automatic pistols and an M1 rifle, Colonel George inspected the front lines. He walked along erect in full view of the soldiers of the 1st and 3d Battalions. Some soldiers, unaware of his identity, shouted to him to take cover, but Colonel George finished his tour. Japanese soldiers in the jungle helped him to prove his point by shooting at him repeatedly but inaccurately.52 well...f**k...and i thought i was gutsy when i use myself as bait to attract sniper fire in delta force(i am "a smuck(skmdc)" in the team koth levels) http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/wwii/GuadC/GC-10.htm ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show [This message has been edited by russellmz (edited 11-30-2000).]
