Krazy Canuck

Thank you. KC

Aw hell, I know you can link to the above post, just don't know. Just go to the main board, Tips&Tricks, scroll down to the Anthology of...and read to your hearts content. Hope this helps. Krazy Canuck, the 'puter illiterate

Here's a good place to start: Anthology of Useful Posts (especially new players) If you like sims, your life just changed Krazy

All my PC systems have been custom built. Done properly a new system should be upgradable for the next 2 yrs, 3 yrs would be stretching it, at least compared to the pace technology has changed these last 5 yrs. Find yourself a local reputable shop, research for your own requirements(this board has some tremendous systems for example) and shop 'em hard. Then you'll have a great system with local support. Krazy PS:I should add that I'm close to PC illerate and have had great success with my custom builds!

-------------------------------------------------- The 9700 is the best all round vid card available today..but, it does *not* support fog! Hard to believe, hungh? the Krazy Canuck

-------------------------------------------------- Yup, you got jerked around, as did a few more(from the bitchin' on this board I'd say its more than a few). Hey, I'm in Canada and mine didn't/wouldn't load up without the dl's so quickly provided. Cool off, send yours back for a refund, e-mail me, I'll get you a good one(North American version) and send it of to you. This seems to me to be a better option than just writeing it off. But then again, its your choice.....here's the offer. Lifes to short...? the Krazy Canuck. :cool:

-------------------------------------------------- Wish I had one of those!! One point though, the Radeon card does NOT support fog. I'm not knocking the system.....just trying to help. Krazy

-------------------------------------------------- No. You get what you start with....in CMBO anyway, and I assume CMBB is the same. Krazy

-------------------------------------------------- First try, Axis Major victory--81 to 19 Lost 2 tanks russia lost 8 and 1 routed w/damaged gun. Their troops never came close to the flags. Tank hunter team got a T-34 without getting a scratch!! Pure luck, ran like hell the whole time! Krazy

-------------------------------------------------- Not in this CMBB world! Krazy

-------------------------------------------------- No problems to date with;P4@1.7,384 megs DDR,MSI Geforce3 T1 200 Pro(128 DDR SDRAM) on Wins '98. I really like this card, great graphics and much better than average speeds. I highly recommend it, and its affordable! Rgds, Krazy

-------------------------------------------------- Fwiw, on my first install with Asus 50X Cd Rom it locked up at file# 90505(got the *error* message). Tryed again on Yamaha CRW8824E, bingo, scooted right through it without a hitch. Oh yeah, its both milky and has the edge blisters. Rgds, Krazy

Reporting from Halifax, got it yesterday, paid the gov't their $15 ransome. Krazy

-------------------------------------------------- This sure looks like a BTS *Arghh ***** situation, extra costs with extra everything(more cd's, packageing, shipping etc.) I'd like to recommend an acceptable compromise to both BTS and the *unfortunate few* who will be requesting the replacement of their faulty cd. You should create a simple form posted somewhere within this website asking for our id, order# and this form should have 2 boxes we need to check. 1) I'm willing to pay the extra S&H 2) Hell no I won't pay! I, for one, am willing to pay the extra 10 bucks(Canadian eh!). I offer this only because in my 50 years as a comsumer, never have I witnessed a *willingness to please* as exhibited here in these forums daily by your company. Waaaayy beyond the necessary. Besides, 10 bucks more for years/months/hours?? of gaming this good, helluva deal! Btw, I'm still waiting for CMBB. Krazy PS. For the dissenters, don't forget ***** happens* no matter how hard you try. If I thought for a minute BTS had done this on purpose (we know they didn't, that's my point!) I certainly would expect them to incur all the extra costs involved here.

-------------------------------------------------- Hey Andy, when playing the demo(and the game)there is a list of hotkeys available. Just read the interface toolbar, its there at the top of a tablist. Hope you enjoy the game, Krazy

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Der Kriegsherr: I'm a newbie, too. I recommend CMMOS. Download the latest version, and then download all of the CMMOS compatible mods. There are lots of them! I'm still learning myself. It can't be too hard. I'm an old Batch file mod veteran.<hr></blockquote> Thanks for the vote of confidance. CMMOS sounds interesting, but I'm still trying to master this downloading Mod thing. For some reason when I DL from the Scenario Depot I can't get 'em to play, while, if I DL from CombatMissionHQ theres no problem (this is the scenarios I'm talking about). Absolutely no problems with the graphic or sound mods, if I had hair I'd be pulling it out. Rgds, KC

Thank you!! You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!! KC

Thanks -- any "must have" mods?[/QB]

Are these available anywhere in a step by step informative arrangement? :confused: KC

I'm running a lowly GeForce 256 with a P3 600, it runs fine up to a 5000 pt game, only then does it slow down. As to compatability, that's beyond my limited knowledge. KC

I've found that if you just leave him alone for a turn or two it seems to get repaired. How long may depend upon his quality(green vs. vet etc.), also you may want to move him out of the fight til its working again. Works for me. KC

>> are you people planning on seceeding any time soon? I would really like to move there but when I think "Canada" I get a queasy feeling...>> Seceeding....You must be kidding! Nova Scotia now has the undignified distinction of being Canadas poorest province... I don't understand the "queasy" part, you allergic to shellfish or stupid politicians? KC

I've got the Desert Fox scenario's loaded in the *scenario* file...and cannot find 'em in the game anywhere. If I try to open one in the Program file it says *no can do*. Damn, some day soon I gotta take a computer course!! again, any help appreciated KC
