Those of us who've graduated beyond 'brown paper wrapped thingy'. Who wants to be first to tell Axe that, due to the smaller manual, CMAK comes in an envelope?

Is it time for the 'Why do Aussies call their beer XXXX' joke yet?

I think they were holding out for Mel Gibson, but he refused to appear in any game where the English weren't the bad guys.Originally posted by Mace:I understand that Paul Hogan is a very hard man to catch and normally has a busy schedule.

The Canadian Editing Nong, Act 1 Scene 2
Vermont, 25th Floor, BFC Towers
Steve: MATT! Get in here NOW!
Madmatt: What is it boss?
Steve: How come we have a briefing that spells 'through' as 'threw'?
Madmatt: You're criticising someone else's spelling?
Steve: Christmas can be very unpleasant for the unemployed, Matthew.
Madmatt (hastily): I blame those two nongs that Rune got to do the proof-reading.
Steve: Why? Who did he get?
Madmatt: Axe1212 and Mr.Spkr.
Steve: You got a Texan and a Canadian to do the proof-reading? Couldn't you at least find someone who speaks English?
Madmatt: We could, but they wanted paying.
Steve: Right! I want a full scale investigation, and fit the 75L42 to the Weasel. In the meantime neither of them gets the game until this is sorted out.

It's an engine limitation that just affects all nationalities, in the A Walk in the Sun scenario, the sergeant who took over the platoon in the film is a lieutenant in the game.

£19-99 in proper money in the UK. I still got it from BFC though

Yes, uniform disicipline was lax to non-existant in the desert, in all armies. Even Monty didn't wear a regulation hatOriginally posted by von Lucke:The Free French troops in NA wore just about everything --- usually all at once.

So why were they called wireless operators?Originally posted by Schutzstaffel:I think allies used Wire Radio in that period

A question for the brood. Do you think it's Axe or Mr Spkr, who doesn't know the difference between 'through' and 'threw'?

Normally yes, but Seanachai's Poetic License expired in 1967.Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:Shouldn't some of the words rhyme then, or at the least be spelled wrong, mister Poetically Challenged?

I don't know, to be honest, it depends if the installer set up stuff in other areas such as the registry, or shared dlls etc. I'd use the uninstall option to be on the safe side, unless BFC tell us something different.Originally posted by Ace Pilot:Thanks for the info, Firefly. So, will just deleting the CM folder remove everything like it did with CMBO? Or do you need to use the uninstall option to get rid of things outside the CM folder?

Aren't we lucky? Most people have to pay hard earned cash for mind-bending drugs to see stuff like that. We get it free.Originally posted by Axe2121:A drunken Soddball being wooed by a penguin, an appearance by a garden gnome and, for God's sake, Mace!!!

All three here too.
The true fanatics though are the ones with all three games and all three demos still installed.
-
It's probably there because they use a custom intaller, the CDV version of CMBB was the same. I've noticed that when people release 3rd party mods for other games, such as MS Flight Sim, that use shareware installers, they will also set up an 'uninstall' option.

b. Er... that's it.

It doesn't seem to like the files from our current 'Line of Defense' game, Gary, so it looks like we'll have to carry on with the demo for that. It wasn't a problem with the CMBB demo, so I guess they must have squashed the odd bugs in thd demo this time.

Indeed, evidently the full price LOMAC comes with a not very good .pdf, manual and no reference card, but for an extra 30 bucks you can get a more detailed paper oneOriginally posted by Moon:Obviously this is indeed part of the reason. Not bad if you ask me, there are $55 games out there without manuals to speak of
. I've got used to .pdf manuals in lower price games, it's when they do it with full price games I'm not impressed.

WOOT! It's reached darkest south-west London, a moment's panic when the install wouldn't start, but re-inserting the CD appears to have fixed that

They also stewed the tea, i.e. they added tea, milk and sugar to the water and then boiled it. I can tell you from experience that this results in the most disgusting cup of tea imaginable (but I've never been to North AmericaOriginally posted by Michael Dorosh:not to mention the British invented the Tommy Cooker for the specific purpose of making tea - sand and petrol mixed in a cut down flimsy, set alight, provided even heat for tea.

In the British army the troop (platoon) commander was usually a lieutenant with the other tanks being commanded by the troop sergeant and corporals. The loader was normally the deputy TC and was a lance-corporal, the rest of the crew being troopers (privates). Often in later Sherman equiped units the troop sergeant got the Firefly. Of course in practice things were changed around because of availability and so forth, I've seen references to troops being commanded by the Company Sergeant-Major (a warrant officer) and Ken Tout tells of how when he took over from his injured TC in Normandy, the rest of the crew joked with him about contacting the corporals' union, because he remained a lance-corporal for a while.Originally posted by Michael Emrys:TCs were usually sergeants with corporals for gunners and the rest of the crews privates or PFCs (lance corporals in the BCE armies). Platoon (troop) leaders were lieutenants unless they had run out of those, in which case it was a senior sergeant. Companies (squadrons) were most often led by captains in the US Army and majors in the BCE armies.
