I'm hot and babelicious and you're all jealous. :mad: Nonces.
My turn processing time for Alpine Summer has dropped from 11 minutes on my old computer to 22 seconds on my new one. Now that's angryolized processing power!!! :mad: :mad:
I'm busy transferring all my porn onto the new drives, so no turns for a day or two. :mad: :mad:

Hey, I look respectable and mature. It's how I make a living. Fortunately my customers never see me having "Last one to vomit's a nancy boy" contests with my mates.

I'm up and running on the new machine, Maggots!!! Even an unrevised BIOS which can't detect 250GB SATA drives can't stop me!! :mad: :mad:
Turns out when I find my CM:AK disk.

That's a must-have mod - or at least, it will be when my new PC arrives. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Rarity is not included in CM:BO.

You're only jealous because, even blurred, I look better than you. :mad: :mad:

So that it's clear I'm not being unfair, and not ashamed to show my ugly mug, here's the only photo of me on the interweb. From my holiday on Barbados.
Wisely, my face is hidden by poor camera work and toasty tropical sun.

If you want your self esteem boosting, go hang out in the Cuddly Love Bundles Hold Your Hand And Tell You You're Not A Wanker Thread.Originally posted by _Axe_:My self esteem has reach a new all-time low.
This is a TNT-Chucking zone. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Maybe we could move his ears to the top of his head. That way people would be so amazed at how wierd he looks they'd fail to notice the badger on his chin. :mad:

Let's have a contest. You can all decide which part of Axe's head you could change to make him more ugly than he is.
It's a tough one, but I know The Brood can come up with something.

Well, yeah. He's Lewis, back because nowhere else will tolerate his peculiar mix of objectionability and purported knowledge. He's returned more times that raw broccoli.Originally posted by RMC:It's official. He's an ass.

Whoopee. Anyone joining you or are you going to sit and gibber at yourself like normal? Freak.

I blame food additives.

Oh, god, NO!!!!! :mad: :mad:
Fecking computer fecking up the fecking fecked spout. ARGHARHARARHGHGH!!!!
Just had to spend £1100 on a new machine. The old one's 4 1/2 years old, so it's done well, but that's not the point. My computers should run until the universe becomes a cold point of light, or Snarker wins a game, whichever is first.
So no turns until at least Tuesday. The good news is an Athlon64 3500 with 2 gig of RAM and 500GB of SATA drive space should be fast enough for CMX2.

T'aint my fault Snarker doesn't have the brains of a Penger.Originally posted by Moraine Sedai:OH lookie! Three WAFFLE threads on page one now. :mad:
Isn't that ironic considering how bilious Spudball was over *our* conundrum two days ago.
Yet, this is the second time IN A ROW the Wafflers have done this, iirc. :mad:
So, Snotball, how does it feel to be on the other end of the derision you used up, worthless, kleenex what's not fit to spit my bubblegum into before being thrown away? :mad: :mad:
Edited because all you Wafflers look the same to me. :mad:

I suspect you've never had to carry a .50 cal tripod. Google the weight of the .50 - and its ammo. Should be self-evident, even for you. </font>Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Soddball:
.50 cals rocked. They made a really cool noise and put holes in stuff. Why would they not be included as a standard issue?

Leave the dog alone, cat loving ponce!!! :mad: :mad:Originally posted by Snarker:I think I tried "Alpine Summer" with Axe. Not our cuppa. Too lng to contact for us short attention span maggots. :mad: :mad: :mad:
And I'm going to thump the dog with the BIG, SOFT bbs. No damage done other than shock and scare factor. I'm a little tired of being woken rudely after 0200 multiple times in one week. Although his owner deserves it more for letting him roam at night, his dog will learn this as a second best solution. :mad:
New version of Alpine Summer only 9 turns to contact. 130 turns to carnage. Too much for unibrow maggot Wafflers. :mad: :mad:

Turns out!! :mad: :mad: It's a blue moon, maggots!!! Make the most of it!!! :mad: :mad:

Man, Snarker is a nob jockey. Shootin' a dawg fer doin' what a dog's gotta do.
I reckin he deserves a full playthrough of Alpine Summer with MasterGoodale as his opponent, with 1 turn per month. He should be finished by 2014. :mad:

I managed to pack in three hours of CM map-building yesterday, and finished off the Alpine Summer campaign. It's 42,000 points, 675 turns over 15 battles on an 8km x 4km map.
I also playtested 15 turns of battle 1, and it's quite good fun if you're patient.
I'd put it up at the Scenario Depot but it has a 100kb limit and the scenario is 220kb. I'll have to email it to Admiral Keth.
Turns out when I'm back from work (Wednesday, by the look of things).

Steve, what is the likelihood that BFC will release the CMx1 platform as open source once CMx2 comes out?
-
Interesting document. I doubt (from what little I've read of tanking) that such a document was followed in some areas, in particular the 'stay inside the tank even if you get shot' section. Remember that the SOP for the RAF in 1939/1940 led to dozens of dead pilots because it was written by people who weren't in the thick of it.

Hey pimps, I spent 15 minutes editing a CM:AK campaign I've had on the boil today.
Back in the zone, or wot?

Why don't you pizzle-streaked freaks just fill the entire fecking forum up with mongrel dumb-arse threads? I mean, three's not enough, is it?
Conscripts
in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks

You can win battles with conscript troops, but it's harder.
The biggest thing that you gain is numbers, and you shouldn't be afraid to use that benefit.
However, there are ways to improve the odds.
Firstly, if you're purchasing units for a QB, buy lots of support units - machine guns and mortars. A conscript 82mm mortar round hurts just as much as an elite one. Conscript MGs and mortars can't use the 'cover arc' function but you can order them to area fire, which works well.
Advance slowly. Keep your platoons in command radius. Keep company HQs close behind the main line of advance to rally fleeing squads. Saturate your target with MG and mortar fire.
I prefer to play using green and conscript troops - I find it much more of a challenge.
