hi all, well down here in Australia the major PC magazines which include those from the USA and the UK have hardly made mention of it! Even the applauded demo version hasn't made it to a cover disk AFAIK. Games like CM and SPW@W (which made it to the cover disk of one mag but then it wouldn't load!) just do NOT get the coverage of those games from large publishing houses. The writers, as has been mentioned above, just do not seem to take much trouble to look for or at these game, they seem to accept the publishers adverts as gospil and rarely realy can a game if it is bulls***. I think CM (and SPW@W) could do themselves (and us) a big favor by taking out adverts in some of these 'main stream' gaming magazines. regards peter RAAMC capt

Soory, for being in the wrong forum, BUT there is little activity in the 'find opponent' forum for those of us 'downunder'. And as this one is more active I thought..... Peter Hawkins Capt RAAMC

i get to see and hear all the stupid excuses people say for how they broke their bones I thought it was time for me to add to them!

it's my name!! Actually the only combination of my initials/first name/surname that my ISP would accept! Sometimes use Tazdevil as I am from Tasmania (Australia) Not the Disney Taz!!

I just finished my first tcp/ip game last night (the suspense is so much better than playing the AI). I had a M8 HMC that was immobilised by assaulting infantry, it depressed it's gun and fired at a unit that was right beside it and next thing it was destroyed!! In the M8 HMC unit's kills screen it had an M8 HMC as being a KILL! (the enemy inf did not register a kill at all) DID this unit kill itself by firing at the ground too close to itself and get knocked out in the process? Peter hawkins Capt RAAMC

Escuse my ignorance but when you mod the BMP files for a vehicle why cant you alter them to such an extreme that it becomes something totally different. IE could you mod the BMP file for say a tiger so that it actually looked the same as say a sherman?? (obviously you would then have two sets of sherman BMP files but the game would i guess still apply the tiger characteristics to the modded sherman) Is this correct and if so then so long as the vehicle you wanted matched the characteristics of the original vehicle then you could have a vastly increased number of vehicles BUT at the expense of "losing" the original.
