That is what I want. Something incendiary. :mad: </font>

:mad: Oh, all right. :mad:

Oh, go on then. I'm just off home for some lunch so my opponents can expect a large portion in their juicy boxes shortly. :mad:

:mad: :mad: :mad: I'm at work at the moment (like I do anything but work these days), but I want you knuckle-chafing nonces to know that I live. Sorry to disappoint. :mad: I have been testing the CM:AK waters again with my old chilblains, and have come up with a grand "I've got no friends and want a scrap" system. Set up a game vs the computer. Put yourself on defence and give yourself a 25% bonus. Set all AI settings to Random and let the AI shop for stuff. In the unit purchase screen, use the 25% bonus to buy trenches, barbed wire and mines. Then pick your other units normally. Set up a QB map with the parameters you want. Fight the battle, which (unless you are MasterGoodale, GrandMaster Jewel-Encrusted Gimp and Cripple) you will win. Then start a new quick battle, drop your bonus by 1 notch (to 10%), and spend the points as you wish. For the map, load the saved game you were just playing on and import the units. Move the time on (so if you fought at mid-day, move it to dusk, dusk to night, night to dawn etc). If you win this one, load a new QB, with no bonus, when you win the fourth, give the AI 10%, and the fifth 25% - and so on. By the time you reach the eighth battle, the map will be stuffed full of dead bodies, exploding molten TNT and burning wrecks. Great fun. I have an hour off work this afternoon so I plan to get those turns out of my inbox before they fossilise. :mad:

Stonking book. If this is book one of three(as the front cover of mine proclaims), has there been any movement on book 2? Emrys, you mentioned books covering other aspects of Tunisia. Got any recommendations?

gargahraghHGGHHGGHRrghh :mad: :mad: :mad: My life sucks at the moment. :mad: :mad: :mad: What is all this sox business?

You can see hidden mines in the after-action screen, even if you haven't spotted them during the game.

81mm smoke isn't worth using. Run some tests to see how long 81mm smoke rounds last compared to 75mm smoke rounds. 75mm lasts much longer.

Searching for a mod? Found one, I would say you have, mmm?

That's a wierd graphical glitch that crops up - Nvidia graphics card and alt-tab to desktop and back IMO. I get it too.

One other solution would be to create a two-battle campaign and play the first battle, leaving wrecked vehicles and craters where you want them. You'd then, of course, have to balance up the points in the editor otherwise the scores would be unbalanced.

Fall 2004? Is that last month?

You don't need to load the save game into the editor. Use the editor for the first bit, to create the battle scene you want. Then run the battle, causing huge explosions and all-round death. Then save,then load the battle you've just finished into the QB setup and purchase your units.

ARAGRHAGRARGARHGH Jamoomba uses your removed tonsils as shoulder pads, mortal!! :mad:

One possible solution to your idea: Create the map that you want, with the units that you want. Then blow them up with an arty spotter, using up the arty spotter's ammo. Then walk the arty spotter off the map and save the game. Then create a quick battle, loading the saved game as the map and keep the units. It might work.

Go polish your head. :mad:

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Why don't you have a big piece of cheese with that whine? :mad:

Hey, you freak. I'm assuming Snarker and I will meet in battle at some point in Alpine Summer? Good god man, we're, like, 20 turns in and nary a sound contact. :mad: :mad: :mad: </font>

:mad: Yer all a sack of cock-knockers!! :mad: :mad: ARAGAHGARAGHGH!!!! :mad: :mad:

Incredible! This is what you get when you just hold your nose & dive into the filth. This idiot is actually trying to ‘work out’ what my hopes, my desires, my motives & my fears are. Unfortunately he is wrong on all counts (again quite incredible you’d think he’d get something right)… I am from the North of England. I’ve been watching for several weeks because my computer has been out of action. I didn’t really notice Shotty nor am I ever likely to want anything it has. </font>

I haven't denied your assessment of the weapon's potential at any point. I raised a specific objection to your claim that its provision in the form you mentioned on the previous page would have been beneficial. The 90mm gun needed to be in a heavily armoured, turreted tank or TD to make it effective against the opponents you are talking about - Panthers.

So it makes up around 5% of the typical ammo available to 17pdr weapons? Approximately? And the standard round available fared better than the Tungsten.
