  1. Yes i have to admit that i too have not purchased a new title since Combat Mission. I used to buy at least one title a month.
  2. ah doug thats just what i was looking for now i have to figure out how to print it out so i can use it thanks!!!!!!
  3. yeah there is a excel version of one but not being a excel wizard i could not get it to print in a way that would be easy to use
  4. I wish I had a ring bound hand book of all the units with pictures and a data table from combat mission wishful thinking Randy
  5. I have a viper v550 16 and I am playing with version 1.1b22 I guess if there is no solution I will just have to put up with it...it is playable just a little hard to read..but I have been playing for a while so I know what's what thanks randy
  6. hey never mind it just started to work but i do have the problem still with text
  7. anyone else have this problem none of my shift keys work i also have some text problems they flash and are not easy to read thanks for any help
  8. yeah well I knew that what I am using is not the best way to access the internet and play games on but I just wanted to see what every else's experiences are thanks guys
  9. hey ceebee, thanks for responding so you really think its the university network that is causing the problems? bummer the one game that I did finish was not from another uni account and I had to restart it once after the game shut down randy
  10. I am using a isp that is from a university and yes its free to all employees. But I don't think that is the problem when I say I have disconnects its the game that disconnects not the ISP. I have a 56k modem supra I think and I do not know if there is a firewall
  11. Well I have been trying to play the game online ever since I received the beta patch and on every game there has been at least 1 time out disconnect or a total disconnect from server in the middle of game play. Is anyone else having this problem? I admit that the disconnect from server may be my problem but not the time outs. I have only been able to finish 1 game out of 4 Randy
  12. I have looked today to try and find a site with the database you mention but I can not find it...could you please post it Thanks!!!!!! Randy
  13. Is there a way to see a picture of the unit you are picking when buying your forces for a online game or quick battle? I don't always know what the unit is from the name but a picture would be a big help. If this has been talked about before sorry for the repetition. Randy
  14. ok this is it I may never see my wife again at home. Finally got it figured out how to get wingate working on my wife's and my computer via a LAN(she would not let me play the game on her computer since she has the modem..something about her needing to be able to do work at home or something silly like that) and all I can say is wow!! it was the most nail biting, white knuckle, intense, brutal game I have ever played. Something about playing against a real person just steps it up a level. So we played the game for about 3 hours the game stalled 4 times and we had to reconnect then finally in the last stages of the game when I was on the losing end of the game my isp disconnected me. So I must apologize to the guy I was playing against it was late and I really did not have a chance against your tiger I tried to reconnect but it just dumped me again so I called it a night. all I have to say is playing the game against the computer is great but playing against a real person is just, just, just, awesome. Randy
  15. hey Nigelo how do you like wingate. Does it work good? I am taking it home tonight to try it out. Any tips to setting it up? Thanks Randy
  16. Ah you know what I will have to check that out. I may be unknowingly switching between the two. I have been using the beta version thanks guys Randy
  17. yeah that's the weird thing, within the game I can see some saved games but not the ones I am looking for, so I don't know what is causing some to be able to be seen and some not. Another interesting note when I launch the game by selecting the saved game all saved games show up but I had a game freeze on me last night by doing it that way. I will check the folder name and make sure it is correct
  18. This may not belong here but what the heck Any of you techies know how to share a modem on a home setup LAN. Me and the wife have our computers set up as a LAN to share files and such but her computer is the one with the modem. So is there a way we can both use the modem, she to do her work and me to play games (ie combat mission)we both have win 98 thanks Randy
  19. Anyone have this problem Saved games are missing from the night before. I hop to windows then to the saved game folder and they are there they just don't show up in the game. The only way I can get the saved games to load is to open them in windows and have it launch that way randy
  20. ok so last night I went back and played the scenario were I had the problems and low and behold they were firing left and right at anything that moved soooo with head bowed I ask forgiveness...there must have been some other factors that I did not see that contributed to them not firing.
  21. yeah that's what I thought...they had line of sight to the enemy target..I even targeted to enemy..the carriers had ammo and they just sat there until they finally took enemy fire one was destroyed and the other reversed till it too was destroyed.. no ammo was expended..they did not fire one shot I will see if I have a saved game and try to see if I can get it to happen again randy
  22. ok my 2 cents the game that started it all for me way back when on a mainframe on a collage terminal then I played it on my first home computer a commodore 64 Zork then all the games that followed not in any order and I know I am missing a lot back then any SSI game on warfare and I had them all kampfgruppe elite computer ambush harpoon steel panthers!!!!!!! all 4 doom
  23. I had the same problem the other night. Neither of my vehicles would use their MG's. both had ammo and neither were damaged or taking gun fire. I rolled them up to cover holes in my line of defense. I didn't think much of it at the time figured it was other factors that I couldn't see but now that someone has mentioned it it could be a problem. Randy
