If I use the old .exe, does the new bug fixing code still run, or do I HAVE to use the beta .exe for the bugs to be fixed? ------------------ "Reality is created by the participation of the participants."- John Wheeler

Thanks for all your time and effort. It works perfectly fine. I dug out all the movies files and put them in a separate folder and followed your instructions. Voila! A movie of the whole 20 minute battle with just a short time(maybe 5 seconds) while the next file loads.

This has happened to me also, in fact it has happened in every TD I have played with. Must be the open top................

Combat mission was not the first game to use the "give orders/simultaneous execution" system. I don't know if it has been discussed in threads long past, but Gary Grigsby's "Panzer Strike" was the first to use this system. I was wondering if the developers at Big Time developed this system independently or drew from Grigsby's previous endeavors? Grigsby also used detailed armor penetration algorithms and velocity/diameter calcs for the projectiles. ------------------ "Reality is created by the participation of the participants."- John Wheeler

Wow! A persons got to be real careful when they post, cause even some innocuous little message can turn into a Pandora's box. -Tink- ------------------ "Reality is created by the participation of the participants."- John Wheeler

Calm the nerves?!? Nay! I want to be so keyed up that when that first explosion touches off, I want to damn near fall out of my chair with my heart pounding out of my chest. My drink of choice is espresso and lots of it chased with a coupla Red Bulls. I want to have the jitters just like those green troops did! -tink-

You are all right, and I am wrong.I appologize and retract what I said if that is possible.

Since everyone is offended by my observation I retract everything I said and appologize sincerely. I was not "trolling" as I have been accused of, I am sincerely bothered by all "observed" holidays, not just veterans day, but I concede that airing my feelings today was insensitive and inapropriate. I had a father and uncles that served in the pacific theatre and I served in Thailand myself 1972-76. I take my hat off to all those who have fought and died for freedom.

So croda do you celebrate Christmas on the 24th? Seems you have escalated the thread to a flame, wheras I was just pointing out the waste and bureaucratic BS that EVERYONE has come to accept as the norm. I see that the ego runs high and actual objective examination has no value here. Well, I appologize for the reply then, but I am truly sorry for your lack of objectivity. Press on in your ignorance sir, if it has seen you in good stead so far, then you have been lucky.

You just don't get it do you croda?

Please see my post in Croda's Vet thread.

This is not to rain on anybodies parade but today is NOT veterans day! Today is a blot on the veterans as it is the day that those who sit on their butt in the most unproductive sector of our economy, the government at all levels, get an extra day off with pay for doing nothing. Tommorrow is Veterans day, and because it falls on a Saturday, some fat cat legislators thought that it was unfair that they didnt get the day off with pay and legislated this waste of taxpayers money. How many of you in the private sector got it off with pay? Being an honorably discharged Vet from the Viet Nam era (PACAF, Khorat Thailand, Udorn Thailand 1973-75), I will celebrate and remember those who gave their lives for the freedom to live as we do in this great country, tommorrow, when it is supposed to be honored, not today, a day that symbolizes all that is a travesty of government waste and BS.

Ok Bush is an idiot and Gore is a liar, who would YOU elect? The only REAL candidate for the people was Nader. He is truly against all of this one world/globalization/NAFTA/ socialistic garden path that both major parties are leading us down. There is not one whit of difference in the ultimate goals of the republican and the democratic parties, and if you think otherwise you deserve what you're going to get.<-tink-> ------------------ "Reality is created by the participation of the participants."- John Wheeler

I can not emphasize enough how gracious and easygoing Kking has been over this fiasco which I precipitated through my own ignorance and lack of even tempered restraint. I would like the moderator to close this thread if he would as it is a source of embarassment to me. Once again I <SALUTE> Kking. ------------------ "Reality is created by the participation of the participants."- John Wheeler
