. . . Let's just say I'm still hopeful that before we die of old age I might get most of them into some game or another
Steve
Which brings up the question, will the Steve and Charles clones be ready to step in when your Hull Down for good? Like on Sam Rockwell's MOON?
This issue isn't a deal breaker for me. I like the scenarios people make and I likes to take my time and watch all the action.

I just had an errant mortar mission. It was an Emergency request, but look at the picture and you can see they weren't set up for firing. Look out Sgt. Hulka!
All right, soldier, let's seehow you fire that mortar.- What coordinates, sir?- Coordinates?Yes, sir. They determinewhere the mortar's...Soldier, the Army has spent a lot ofmoney teaching you how to fire that.Now set it and fire it.- We don't know where the shell's...- The only way to learn is to do it!Now fire the weapon.All right!I don't know how to make the pic bigger, but the blue line was my linear request and the orange arc is where they fired 50 seconds into the round. If you enlarge the pic you can see all the little yellow mortar rounds heading to the corner of the map - not even close to the target!

Great thanks for the quick reply.

I was trying to Acquire a schrek last night. My 2 man team lost the original shrek gunner so I wanted the other guy to pick it up and help me out but he wouldn't do it. Very frustrating.

Is the repository a different log on from the Forums? It won't let me in. Do I need to register separately?

I have tweaked the hotkeys in the Demo to my liking.
Will I be able to just copy this file over to the full game when I get it?
Does the Hotkey file in the full game differ from the file in the Demo version?
Also, how can one soldier muscle an AT Gun around? He must have been an ubermensch.

Well for those of you on the fence, it looks like Nvidia is the card to go with.
I've seen too many people with ATI issues. I have an older Geforce 210 and will be looking to upgrade to a 460 or better.
Game runs fine now, but I want to see it in all its glory.

After just one go on Closing the Gap played from the US side, I agree. Those Panthers were tearing me up with a quickness. They seemed too good. I'll keep playing and see if things settle down.
I had a Sherman on Fast scooting up the road and the millisecond he broke cover, that Panther was rotating almost 90 degrees to ping him in the side. I lucked out with a bounce off the turret, but I didn't think he could spot me so quick.
Loving the Demo, no technical issues with my nvidia card.

I'll only complain if the thing won't run or crashes all the time(which I doubt will be an issue).
As far as armor thicknesses, Bren tripods, boot lace lengths, etc. I'll leave that to the G.R.O.G.S. (Guys Requiring Omniscient Gargantuan Satisfaction) TM.
I'll adapt to the game, I won't complain and ask the users and developers adapt it to me.
-
Not really. I like the game sounds. Driving games, Combat Mission, whatever, I want to hear the game sounds, not music. Music is for the daily commute. I like to hear the winds in the trees or the buzz of a Cazador.
As for passing the time. I downloaded the CMBB Demo. When CMBN comes it will be an angelic experience with the new graphics!
-
I telecommute tomorrow so that would be a perfect day for the release. The week is nearing its end as well, it has to be tomorrow, or tomorrow's tomorrow, right? We'll see.
I agree, the Demo will keep the masses quiet for awhile. Until those fanatic grogs start complaining about the leaves on the trees being out of season for Normandy or something.

Yeah, the elite speak geek stuff. Replacing E's with 3's etc. Never understood it myself. I don't mind abbr. stuff tho.
And ur right Blucher, it takes longer to cypher something than to just type it.

This is BY FAR the best forum on the interweb. Even with "The Peng" the Battlefront site is the best place for adult (mature) conversation on a myriad of topics. Most of us could compose an intelligent paragraph with nary a curse word or having to resort to using l33tsp33k.
I check the forum daily not only for games but all kinds of good info on music, movies, books, and drinks.
Keep it up guys.

And finally, pacing; Why does every commercial break have to begin with a 20 second teaser for the next segment – and even worse – end with a 2+ minute recap of everything we just saw? Why all the padding? The show is only about 44 minutes without the ads and when you take away the padding you have only a 35 minute show.
I have complained about this for awhile now. It seems every show no matter the genre does this.
Coming up ... Next on ... Stick around for ...
Then 5 minutes of inane commercials
Then another freaking recap of the program I have been watching.
This must mean the ADD crowd is now working on all the programs.
Very annoying - Thank God for DVR!

Michael Emrys, you have been most gracious with your answer, and by far the most complete, and i bow to thee for the help.
More sig material for Michael.

Back in the Stone Age men were boulder and they took it for granite.
Ba-dah Bing!
The 50's?! I can't remember what I read in the 90's!

Reading the current AAR between Elvis and Jon got me to reminiscing about Reisberg and those other old AARs that originally got me to purchase Combat Mission. Anyone have a link to them? Are they still out in cyberworld somewhere? Would love to reread them.
Normandy looks like it will be great. I haven't played a PC game in years (XBOX), but this new one will definitely get me back to WWII gaming.
Thanks

I stumbled on this interesting website while getting my daily does of FARK.
Thought you guys would like to see some cool dioramas along with a story.

Episode 3 was a snoozer. It had sex, but no combat. Did they really billet at a stadium? I agree with Deadmarsh, they all seem the same. Maybe they'll stick out more as the show progresses.

No I don't have an NCStar site. I bought the laser and flashlight combo at the Gun Show kind of spur of the moment.
Afterward I went online and found that NCstar was not that popular with the gun community.
It's fine for me though. I am not firing hundreds of rounds every weekend.
Mike, you don't like my tag?
"Hawkmek....<sigh>....where to begin?"
I was a HAWK Mechanic in the Army, hence the name.
Kinda corny, I know, in this day and age of WoW and other games but I have been using it for 16 years now.
Your handle is great! It could apply to so many.
Green is the new red until blue is the new green and whatever else the marketers tell the obedient consumers.
Remember when eggs were good, then they were bad.
Coffee was bad, no wait then it was good.

I bought a red dot sight and flashlight combo for my 9mm. Got it at our monthly gun show here in town.
No complaints so far. I hear green is the new red though. Green laser light is supposed to be better.
Only trouble is I am spoiled by video games. In games the bullet goes wherever the dot is. In real life, you can place the dot, but trigger squeeze and grip still determine where the round will land. I need more practice.
About $100 for this one.

Good luck.

A female UserName "Carol" should be a huge clue that it's a bot on this forum.
First Impressions

Would be nice.
Been discussed at length and I believe it is on the very long TO DO List for BFC.
I agree
Yes, I wish they would continue on
Oh come on, you're just being lazy
I agree, I never know if I am in the trees or in the open, but with 1:1 representation, not every member will occupy the same type of cover and concealment so I don't see how they could do this

Already in the game. Just Review Map after the battle and the green text in the lower right gives you Kill Stats for the selected unit
