The original question was where FAE's used in WWII this was one that I knew about from the Warsaw Getto uprings so far I haven't seen anyone else discribe a weapon similar to this effect 1. weapon disperses a heavier than air fuel over a target 2.a short delay igniter to detonate the fuel 3.damage to target is by overpressure not burns were friendly soilder may move into the target area very soon after detoonation with little to no worries about after effect of fire(it is burning really quick so most combustibles aren't ignited except the really volitale ones) and target gets very little use of fox holes and trenches because the area of explosion is a much larger point than any bomb short of a nuclear one think in 10's to 100's of yards the explosion is radiating out from as opposed 14" quick fuse detonation that can be blockedby the shadows caused by a trench or fox hole(time fused does help alot in comparision but is still no match for an FAE bomb) Hope it helps some

If the powers that be want to put out a consol version cool just as long as the keep up put out the great games they have been doing I much prefer the computer versions though

Mike Propane goes into vapor at normal air pressure and any tempature that humans could normally survive at(I believe we are talking liquid nitrogen levels when propane is in a fluid state and not under very high pressure) TNT,c-4,b-2,torpex,gunpowder,gasoline etc.. all burn making a flame just some faster than others which is how we get explosions Get the right mixture of oxygen and fuel and things will go BOOM heck even grain silo explosions are a form of FAE's Which is why they have the precautions on them now Again that is not a FAE. That's a flame weapon. FAE's work by dispersing the fuel AS AN AEROSOL. The resulting explosion causes very high overpresure over all portions of any target within the aerosol, destroying it. Spraying around as droplets doesn't have teh same effect, while pouring it into sewers or droping it onto the ground doesn't even come close. Instead the relatively large drops burn, causing damage by heat. For teh grogs out there, yes I know the terms burn and explosion are not exact and they are both essentialy the same thing but happening at different speeds, but I hope you get the picture.[/QB]

I believe FAE weapons where used during WW2,but in a different form than a bomb Propane was pumped into the sewers during the Warsaw uprisings and detonated to kill those using the sewers as a safe passage lanes

If the fire is so awfully inaccurate, would/did the "real life" FOs' even bother to call in the fire mission?. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speculative fire. It was done quite a lot in "real life" - either from maps or by guestimate from what could be seen. sometimes it even hit the target! I'm sure the artillery grogs out there will tell us the correct technical term for it. I've heard the term Recon by fire sort of like turning on a light and seeing what skitters away from it before the rolled up newspaper smacks it dead

Thanks Wolfe Are you going to do an infantry table also? that is the one I use the most often

Hi all I got a set of data tables from Chris H. on CMBO forum awhile back which gave the info on all the units it that game I was wondering if a data table had been done up similar to that one

I've just read the 2 pages of this thread and no where in it does the word COMMISAR or POLITICAL OFFICER come up condidering the way russians treated routed troops in the early to mid war getting shot by your own people might be some insentive to stay with your tank(at least form a russian POV Training is going to help out,as is fear of those projectiles that can't pierce your tanks hide but can pierce you

Thanks Wolfe That was exactly what I wanted

I may have missed where to look, but what I want is the data tables you get when you hit enter and have a unit choosen to see what it's armor,weapons and various data are I know that they only give a small amount but you can't access it when you are picking units

I was hopping for one also based on the data screen in CMBO if anybody has it could you email it to me beastttt@cs.com

So for a 30-turn battle, you're talking about 70-80 megs for a whole-game movie. Those of you with huge HDs and broadband might not have a problem with this, but others.....<hr></blockquote> I would think that in a PBEM game as with a regular game that past turns would be saved in a movie file for later viewing because having to rewatch the same turns over and over again would get tedious waiting to get to the current turn

Cool Maybe they can do it as a patch for CMBO

Hi All I was wondering is there any way to save all the turns in a game and then play them as 1 long movie when the game is over Kinda like a debriefing [ 01-19-2002: Message edited by: Robert Isenberg ]</p>
