You can click a waypoint and change movement speeds on the fly.

Who's Marie ?.

Our fps for our field is 400 with .25s full auto, and 550 with .25s semi / sniper. Snipers have a 50' engagement range.

Yes an airsoft bb does have its limitations, But you can customize your projectile and your weapon. Their are different weights .2 grams is standard. Sniper rifles usually shoot .3 gram bbs. The extra weight helps the projectile maintain its inertia longer. Also we use a hopup that puts a backspin on the projectile to increase its range. This video shows an upgraded spring powered rifle shooting out to about 90 yards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqmsPff01OA

My team the New York Recon Marines is hosting an event in the upstate NY ( Plattekill ) area on 8/23-8/24. Sniper v Sniper. Their will be open play also for non snipers.

Battlefront.com Administrator Member # 42 posted May 26, 2007 01:11 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hehe... actually, the Army has experimented with a sort of Squad pack mule thing IIRC. The main problem is the logistics of keeping them running. That and probably expense! One of the theories behind Stryker based infantry is that they keep most of their kit stowed in the vehicle itself. This is nothing new for Mech Infantry, who have had their tracks to stash stuff in, but the tradeoff has been smaller numbers of boots due to the more limited seating. Now Stryker ICVs provide the same footprint as light infantry platoon, but with the ability to lug around as much gear as the Mech guys. This is reflected in CM:SF. You can run over to a Stryker and "top off" your ammo. Steve

I would say that the U.S. military is light years ahead of Syria in prehospital care. I am a paramedic with the New York City Fire Dept. My future son in law is in the U.S. Army serving in Germany. I questioned him on what type of training he received in basic training for first aid. He explained they have a Combat Life Saver skill they must pass. That included more than basic first aid and included I.V. placement. This training is for the basic infantrymen. I know a medic can do more performing advanced trauma life support. I had the opportunity in the early 90s to act as a field trainer for members of the U.S. Special Forces. The military sent medics to ride along in ambulances and assist in trauma centers in the city emergency departments. At the time New York was not a happy place with crack being real big at the time. We would do multiple shootings during a single tour, Sometimes while rounds were being fired and prior to the arrival of the police. The most important thing to remember is without effective evacuation and timely surgical intervention all the buddy aid in the world is worthless. I imagine with an invasion of Syria they would be a near total collapse of any medical infrastructure. I imagine most doctors and educated people would be heading out of dodge with their families. Similar to the situation that occurred in Iraq. Chris DeMott

Answering the above question. Out to about 30 meters the area fire will say, Area fire use explosives. Past 30 meters it will use regular area fire. After reading this thread I fired up a QB axis attack. I was able to destroy small structures sometimes 2 or 3 at a time even though the satchel charges detonated 10 or so meters from the structure.

Thx for the speedy response

I have played the game a bunch of times. since installing the 1.03 patch I get a message that I am using too many system resources. The game freezes. I can continue from an autsave after rebooting. The game will freeze up again after a while with the same message. Any suggestions anyone.

Don't know if anyone else will have the same problem I have. It looks like the game CD has to be in the the first CD Rom. If you have more than 1. I have a rom and a writer. My writer is drive D and my Rom is drive E. The game will not launch from from the later after applying the patch. Hope this tid bit saves someone from a little frustration.

Nobody change your taskbar setup. uncheck the always on top. this will clear the task bar from the middle of the game screen. I had the same problem and that is how I resolved it.

I remember reading in 1 of the updates that squad leaders will be able to use indirect fire from HT's. not onboard artillary though.

Hello Can anyone point me in the right direction for Tacops PBEM forum on the net. Thx Chris

O.K. We've established that their is a fair amount of interest in a N.Y. sneak peak. So that being said. I officially offer my house as the host location. ( Large BBQ...Check...2 PCs on a LAN...Check...Access by major roads and mass transit...Check...Beta copy of CM:BB...Damn ) Can a Beta Tester help us out ?.

I cannot believe that New York, One of the most populated states in the union has only 3 people wanting a sneak peak. 3 ?. C'mon we can do better than this !. and oh yeah we need a playtester to volunteer.

I would be intrested also....and would be willing to donate to the cause. Maybe even throw in a FDNY tee shirt for the host [ July 16, 2002, 03:59 PM: Message edited by: Chris5110 ]

CM is listed as PCGamer's turned based strategy game of the year. In thier March 2001 issue. Also the general lists CM as his game of the year. The column also has a website that supposedly has over 9000 war movies. it is www.belleandblade.com. It has alot of hard to find movies and gives accurate descriptions if the quality of the picture is poor they will let you know. And they have Zulu on DVD wide screen format.
