Togi, Glad you asked. It seems that Phil left it on the table for Charles, but someone left the window open. Charles didn't see it on the table and merely thought that Phil still had it. Best we can come up with is that a breeze blew it off the table. It may be behind the refrigerator, but no one is eager to move it. Okay, almost nothing of the above is true, but none of it broke my NDA. Ken

Ahh, you've brought a tear to me eye... see: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=93380 and http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=104124 Ken

Or, perhaps, the player has forgotten about minimum range?

Pix, or it never happened!

Those external fuel tanks would have been emptied before any planned action. The mg destroying T34's should not have happened...

LOL! You got me. Hook, line, and sinker. It took a bit of staring for me to think something wasn't quite right. Great photo. Err, screenshot.

Hush, or I shall wave my piston at you!

You dare to quote a measly 2013 post? Here's my 2008 post! http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=84592 Admittedly, it does not have my test in it. However, it references my 1km test track. I still have nightmares about that test. Really. It was that which has made me always send the men forwards! I loaded a bunch of guys with every piece of ammo they could carry, and a bunch who had fired everything off, and a group with default ammo. Actually, a bunch of each. Then I set them off. Burdening caused early fatigue. I've rerun the test on occasion. Ken

savegame would help. PM me, please. Thanks, Ken

Any chance there's a savegame or screenshot?

I've done tests back to CMSF: it -does- make a difference. I'll test again and post.

No. This was included for free! It's noted. Thanks for bringing it up.

Agreed, it would have been nice if, with the 3.0 upgrade, every stock scenario and campaign had been modified. (Insert snarky comment about every other thing which would be nice had been included in my life. ) Let's think about the workload needed to include triggers in every stock scenario. Really. Every battle would have to be tested - again - and tweaked, etc. Do you think the time/effort needed would keep the cost at $10 for the upgrade? Now, think about those who DIDN'T upgrade: "I want to play "C3K's Demise" pbem." Okay, is that "C3K's Demise" v2.12 or v3.0? Or, did you want all v3.0 battles to be backwards compatible with v2.12 game installs? Meaning, those triggers would be ignored and not cause a game crash. How about battle balance? If "C3K's Demise" has a triggered counterattack (of course), then how would it play without that trigger? Now do you see the issues? There is plenty of criticism about a $10 upgrade. (Warranted, or not; informed, or not.) In order to solve all the compatibility issues and recreate all the stock scenarios (or your "some", which is worse*), the price would be higher. Imagine a $50 upgrade. Ouch. The "make it yourself" quote, admittedly looks bad. You have it in quotes, but not attributed: is it an actual quote by BFC? Regardless, it does reflect the true state of the matter. On the other side, the editor is one of the most powerful ones I've ever seen included in a game. It does take a little learning, but it puts all the tools to make anything desired in the hands of every player. No other downloads or tools are needed. * Why "some" is worse than "all". Which ones would be upgraded, and why? How would you tell them apart? What would the criteria be? The outcry would be huge for not upgrading the favorite battles, as seen by the player. Etc. Ken

The answer is "yes" and "no", respectively.

Eleventh point to notice - but it was a GLOOORIOUS attack, despite its failure, nonetheless!

Woot! Clang, BOOM.

This indicates an issue with the install, not the game. (Meaning, your copy isn't running correctly, probably due to how you installed it, not that the game has a bug.) If you had any mods installed, that can cause issues. Did you perform a clean install, or did you update an existing install?

(VAB: Thanks! Just about to do the same.)

At the start of a "move to contact" battle, I'll find the highest HQ, double click to make all units "selected", press "K" (for covered arc), "Shift" (for 360^ arc) and set a ~100m covered arc for all units. That ensures that my guys don't open up at ridiculous range and give their position away. The HQ select (can be done with Platoon or Section HQ, or any other HQ) makes it easy to set multiple covered arcs.

Grenade button? Nice. I imagine a USB device, about 4" square, 2" high, with a friggin' huge red "mushroom" button on the top. Plug it in, and whenever you mash it, the unit selected will hurl a grenade where they're facing. BFC accessory store: get on it!

Playing WeGo pbem. My scout car nosed up to a ridge. A hidden German team on the back side of the ridge popped up, fired a panzerfaust from 20m...and the turn ended with the projectile in mid-flight! Cliffhanger. (Next turn, it landed just short, but damaged the wheels and immobilized the scout car. Bad place to be.)

C'mon, cut the guy a break. Complaining is the FIRST step to grogdom. And who does this Phil Culliton think he is anyway? Pshaw. Using the old "compiler" excuse. Hah. Like his arcane language will shield him from the forum's righteous anger. Edited to add my FIRST post in the new (2001) forum. Why? Because I was complaining, dammit! "I'm curious if this is possible. At the end of a scenario, could you somehow splice all the individual turns together to get a single replay of the entire scenario? If so, could you do it so you still have camera control? Pause, forward, reverse? Thanks, Ken" http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=27921 THIRTEEN YEARS and we still don't have full game replay!!! Get that guy Phil and put him to work!

NDA prevents any kind of answer. Perhaps we can get some high fallutin' type to answer? Hello? Is this mike on?

Ditto on the v3. It's worth it. I think it's only $10.

Also, try to have suppression come from different axes. At the least, doing so will eliminate some cover/blind spots.
