All because he doesn't know what a psychic is? Man, this is a tough crowd!

Ahhh, Tanker, ya beat me to it. That's by far the best usage I have found, other than flushing units out of buildings. Just sneak up from the back, and they run out towards your cover squads. Toasted or shot are the options.

Okay, Mark_IV. I see your point. But no fair being all logical about it! The weapon details were good, it just seemed like they got a new script writer after the first part. Or maybe the budget for the special effects ran out?

Hey, Manx, I just went there and reread all the articles. Seems to be working fine.

Cows can run. Anyone who has engaged in the now passe sport of cow tipping can attest to that!

The first half hour or so were good. Loved the stuka scenes. But beyond that, it degenerates into a soap-opera love triange. Save your money. It's stupid, unrealistic trash.

Ooooh, club him good. Didn't even need to call the fire dept.; they could hear the flames! Paton, word to the wise: Use proper punctuation amd grammar. Stop beating your chest a la Tarzan. DO A SEARCH! so you don't spout off on topics that have been done to death. There are a lot of intelligent, knowledgeable people here. Listen once in a while.

Chin up, ol' chap. Stiff upper lip, wot? All kidding aside (yeah, right) you are now a legend in the cess. Ought to help you make squire that much sooner.

Hey, even us newbies know enough to avoid the lame posts...

Wow three locked threads on the first page. Madmatt must be feeling testy today. And that Chubby Phan has started a second thread, when Madmatt said just one. Ohhhh, I'm telling! Is is too early for a Hi Mom?

You need to update your mouse drivers. That's all it is, has nothing to do with the vid card.

The whole lot of them are evil, sick, twisted vermin. All the more reason to leave it as is. If you pick at that, it'll only get worse, like any oozing sore. Besides, then we know where to go for the entertaing reading!

Does this mean the start of a new series of Phan threads?

Does this sound familiar? A platoon of rifle squads battle it out over a VL. You lose a squad, and send reinforcements. Your enemy does the same. Close assaults ensue. More reinforcements. Bloodbath. Eventually, your pixel-grunts take the flag, (Woo-Hoo, way to go, guys!) ending up with a mostly intact squad, low on ammo. They sit there, no longer under fire, on top of 30-40 of their fallen buddies, (sit down,Bauhaus!) and remain low on ammo. There ought to be rifles and ammo littering the tile, but they won't pick it up! I realize that low is intended to represent scrounging, exchanging , etc. But with that much laying around, there ought to be a command for scavenging. It's not like they need to go to the rear areas. It's in the same tile. They're all rifle squads, so use the same ammo. Maybe a delay of one or two turns to sort it all out. I hope this is coded into CM2. Any thoughts?

I can just see the CM2 gamey topic now. "Looks like he was trying to play bumper cars" It may have been done, but i'd hate to see it in play.

I gotta agree here. Mostly obstacles are a waste of points. They need to be larger or cheaper, or both. I often see the AI buy them, but rarely see them placed in a logical manner. Usually not even a factor. I like the idea of the tank/vehicle barriers (i.e. dragon's teeth), but they would have to be fairly cheap, too.

Lorak yer link is busted (to the pic). Must be all you old peng-grogs are getting a bit senile in your old age? [ 04-24-2001: Message edited by: R_Leet ]

Have to post a fer smileys. Get Peng involved! He's gotta be hungry for more by now.

Hey, great job on the site. I, too, "hope the skiff stays afloat". I'm just glad I don't have to go without (CM, that is); I'd go insane! We'll be watchin' for ya.

As I recall, the standard reply to this type of question used to be DO-A-SEARCH! Now it simply becomes a sarcastic post. But anyone who jumps right in and asks lame-o, beaten to death stuff deserves it. Come on, do a little reasearch first. It isn't like this is the latest twitch offering, it and the entire forum have been around a while. So, DO-A-SEARCH!

Oh, hell here we go again. Haven't you gone to do some fish squeezing for the summer?

There you go again, blowing your own horn. But i guess you gotta stick to what you do best, eh?

Must...get...more...mods. These are just the thing I have been looking for. You do some nice work.

An instant classic! Should be on Gustav_109's site. LOL

Search the forum for LOTS of posts on various tactics. It takes a bit of getting used to. Note the topic: "Ever been beaten by the AI?" It takes practice. Try the tutorial, and get so you can beat it from either side.
