Warrior. Elite and Iron appear to have little relevance in WEGO, where you can click around the map to your heart's content. But I do like having the full arty delay times we get in Warrior. Those delay times are the only thing holding artillery back from completely dominating the gameplay, IMO.

That's where the "TacOps style" SOPs will go. You know, the ones I've been asking for since 2001

I stopped reading right there.

Remember the OP stated that TRPs are not allowed in his game. That being the case I would use 81mm mortars for the quicker response time. In CMBN even the smaller caliber explodey stuff is highly lethal to infantry.

There aren't many humans that don't. Mostly super-cool guys in movies. And you

This. Passable low bocage appears to already be in the game, it just isn't labeled as such. With regard to Churchhills, I think it would be cool if they had a special ability to perform slow-motion bellyflops over bocage, but that would likely require special coding that BFC is typically loath to do in order to represent rare events.

Then why did you previously state "We all think rioting and looting is not the proper solution for the problem"? Given your apparent view of history, I don't see how you could have any faith in the political process. If your position is to be internally consistent it seems to me you should be arguing in favor of violent revolution. Otherwise you are perpetuating the status quo; just another middle class guy like me buying the media hype and ignoring the bigger picture

You sure about that? The Japanese have been indoctrinated to worship individuality? :confused: That's news to me. Maybe Diesel was right, and it is due to their ethnic and cultural homogeneity. What an odd question. I don't know the breakdown of foreign/domestic ownership if that's what you're asking. Then the Chinese economy would go back to 1979.

I don't, really. Is the lesson here that democracy doesn't work? With regards to the United States at least, some stripping down of social services are inevitable. The question really is how much. I didn't say I lived here alone

There aren't any. Actually, one upside to it is that Chinese worker wages will rise. When is that going to happen? Western economies have been going for quite a long time without reaching that point. With regards to China, it doesn't mean their economy will stop growing, it just means it can't maintain the recent level of growth indefinitely.

Bushido is my guess. That was, in fact, my whole point. China is Communist in name only, that is the difference. The means of production is primarily privatized.

That wasn't what I was asking. What I was asking, in essence, is why they don't vote the bums out. The other people who replied to my questions had no problem understanding the relevance. What is the alternative? Yes, of course. I do it all the time. Why would you think I couldn't?

That explains why the rebels can't find Gadhafi.

The same guy back again?

Correct, and for some of the same reasons Japan never took over the world. By 2013 China’s demographic dividend growth rate will turn negative: That is, the growth rate of net consumers will exceed the growth rate of net producers. Starting in 2013, such a negative growth rate will reduce the country’s economic growth rate by at least half a percentage point per year. Between 2013 and 2050, China will not fare demographically much better than Japan or Taiwan, and will fare much worse than the United States and France. As a result of China’s very low fertility over the past two decades, the abundance of young, inexpensive labor is soon to be history. The number of workers aged 20 to 29 will stay about the same for the next few years, but a precipitous drop will begin in the middle of the coming decade. Over a 10-year period, between 2016 and 2026, the size of the population in this age range will be reduced by about one-quarter, to 150 million from 200 million. For Chinese aged 20 to 24, that decline will come sooner and will be more drastic: Over the next decade, their number will be reduced by nearly 50 percent, to 68 million from 125 million. Such a drastic decline in the young labor force will usher in, for the first time in recent Chinese history, successive shrinking cohorts of labor force entrants. It will also have profound consequences for labor productivity, since the youngest workers are the most recently educated and the most innovative. -- Feng Wang

Japan has a different society. Since the March earthquake and tsunami that leveled much of Japan, thousands of wallets containing a total of $48 million in cash have washed ashore -- and been turned in, ABC reports. In addition, 5,700 safes containing $30 million in cash also have turned up. Ryuji Ito, professor emeritus at Japan's Yokohama City University, tells the Daily Mail that these acts of integrity are simply reflective of the culture: "...The fact that a hefty 2.3 billion yen in cash has been returned to its owners shows the high level of ethical awareness in the Japanese people." Link That's right, China the Communist powerhouse. "The major reform achievement has been in privatizing state enterprises. The private sector accounts for 70% of gross domestic product. There are 200 large state companies -- basically, they are in utilities, some in heavy industries, some in resource industries. Traditionally, this is where governments have invested. China Mobil and China Telecom are huge, but these are natural monopolies. Even France and Britain had those large state companies for a long time. If you take these away, China is a private-sector economy." -- Chinese economist Fan Gang Same as North Korea!

Are you under the impression that economics and politics are completely separate from one another? They are in fact intimately intertwined. That's what it has to do with it. I buy the "media hype" and disregard the bigger picture? What exactly led you to that conclusion? I'll tell you what I think is a bigger problem than people like me. People who don't know what they're talking about but spout-off anyway.

It appears the CM Borg has been repurposed

IIRC, Emrys is on a Mac. Could be something for 1.01c

I have a theory about this. If you target a bunker with indirect fire the target type is listed as "vehicle". As we all know, guns firing at vehicles aim for center of mass. So if the game engine is treating bunkers as immobile vehicles...

Test it and you may be surprised. At around 1000m the Sherman's 75mm M3 gun has lost enough velocity that it can no longer penetrate the Pz IV's 80mm hull armor, at least not consistently. In the same thread you linked to one of the beta testers wrote these comments:

Yes they are. Elite is the highest exp. level. How many iterations did you run for each test?

Why and how did that happen? Did socialism lose popular support? Was it banned or were the movement's leaders imprisoned?

Ah, then perhaps the problem is a lack of democratic institutions, or at least a preponderance of legacy undemocratic ones? Not saying it is, I really don't know. But if so it is a shame the British Spring just got crushed in under a week. Maybe NATO should have bombed Windsor Castle

As an outsider sitting here watching the British government be compared with Middle Eastern autocracies, I have to ask: isn't the British government elected? Are the suppressed "masses" not allowed to participate in the political process? Are the government's policies not supported by the majority of the British population? How is this kleptocracy able to perpetuate its hold on power election after election?
