So basically the external HD is connected via USB but will not mount. Try a different cable and Does the external HD also have the option of having its own power supply? It might be worth getting the External's Backup HD out (presuming its a SATA drive) and plugging it into a HD dock and seeing if that works https://www.amazon.com/SISUN-Docking-Station-Reader-Black/dp/B009F7TXMK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1475478083&sr=8-3&keywords=HDD+Docking+Station

Sounds like iMac 21.5" Early 2013 2 core 3.3Ghz which should be good for CM :-) - Though HD is a bit slow (5400-rpm SATA) compared to usual 7200 unless it was originally configured with a Fusion frive. Whatever it's got your stuck with it as it's non-upgradeable. :-( So does the old Back Up drive mount on your desktop when connected? What kind is the external? Is it connected to your mac via firewire or USB? Is the cable okay and is the external drive plugged in and powered up? What version of OSX is the new imac and what version was the old imac running?

Re final bonus stage - should have backed off, waited for clearer weather and let the airforce bomb him to bits... Can you go both go back to the turn on the mutual ceasfire and see what the game result was rom that position? EDIT saw your bit about rewinding to that.

6 years is pretty good going for something pretty much sealed for life - what imac have you now got and were the problems with software needing to get it updated? Anything I can help with? I'm muddling on with a refurbished early 09' MacPro bought a couple of years ago but firmware hacked to 5,1 run latest Sierra OS :-)

Now that raises the question if each mole hill's graphic representaion gives the indiduals benefit or does the action square the foxholes are placed wether the indivual is in or out his hole.

Was the defunct mac the ol' water-cooled G5 or had you gotten an Intel based Mac replacement for that beast?

Bring back Timeless Tests ;-) or even bring on Timeless T20s QBs! A timeless Test is a match of Test cricket played under no limitation of time, which means the match is played until one side wins or the match is tied, with theoretically no possibility of a draw. The format means that it is not possible to play defensively for a draw when the allotted time runs out, and delays due to bad weather will not prevent the match ending with a positive result. It also means that there is far less reason for a side to declare an innings, since time pressure should not affect the chances of winning the game. Although the format should guarantee a result, it was ultimately abandoned as it was impossible to predict with any certainty when a match would be finished, making scheduling and commercial aspects difficult. In the modern era teams often play back-to-back tests in consecutive weeks, something that would be impossible without the five day limit. The last ever timeless Test was the fifth Test between England and South Africa at Durban in 1939, which was abandoned as a draw after nine days of play spread over twelve days, otherwise the England team would have missed the boat for home. This match had started on 3 March. South Africa had set a target of 696 for England to win. By the time England had to leave to catch their boat home, on 14 March, England had reached 654 for 5 (the highest ever first-class fourth innings score). This is the longest Test cricket match on record.

Sweden vs Russia - A new Cold War front? 4 February 2016 Sweden has re-militiarised an old Cold War frontier base to combat what it believes to be a rising threat from Russia. Paul Adams reports from the remote island of Gotland and asks Sweden's Supreme Commander why he is so worried. Russian menace pushes Sweden towards Nato 4 February 2016 The new Gotland battlegroup, expected to take shape by the end of next year, will number 300 full- and part-time soldiers. In a frigid, air-conditioned warehouse, deep in the forest, 14 German-made Leopard tanks are already waiting for their crews to join them. It's all a far cry from the 15-20,000 military personnel who were stationed on Gotland at the height of the Cold War, but officials say reinforcements can be sent in quickly if needed.

@hattori - I think you'll find the various nations inc Poland desperately want missile defence and upgraded air defence systems to keep the Russians at bay without much prompting from the US... http://www.reuters.com/article/us-poland-defence-tenders-idUSKCN0VK1PG http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/if-necessary-alone-the-shield-of-poland-022785/ They're been steamrollered before and experienced acting as buffer states and don't relish that occuring again now that they have achieved independence.

In-game weather will impact as it does in Real Life™. So falling snow, fog, mist and rain will lessen visibility range (and not bring air support!). And associated ground conditions like muddy and deep snow will hamper movement and lead to a quickening of exhaustion rates for ground troops.

"I'm by definition of Ukrainian descent, however I consider myself to be Russian historically I think of each other as the same." Plus you said Russia's motives in being in Ukriane was for the reason of looking out for the Russian speakers - What have you to say about the enforced Russification of Ukraine over decades that played its part in creating you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russification_of_Ukraine In the 1960s, the Ukrainian language began to be used more widely and frequently in spite of these policies. In response, Soviet authorities increased their focus on early education in Russian. After 1980, Russian language classes were instituted from the first grade onward. On a literary note if you get the chance read a play by Irish playright Brian Friel, called 'Translations' that's set in early 19th century > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translations that has interesting themes of imperialism of language and culture.

They've also had to postpone plans for biggie rockets, manned moon landings and moon bases... Russia approves its 10-year space strategy > “This is a sizable program, but we need such large undertakings even when it is not all easy in the economy,” said the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at the conclusion of his cabinet meeting on Thursday, March 17, where the program got a formal approval. The final space budget is a shadow of its 2,315.3-billion ($56.4 billion) draft proposal circulated in the spring of 2014, before falling oil prices, the annexation of Crimea, and the resulting western sanctions sent the Russian economy into recession and forced Moscow to cut spending across the board. The very fact that the program was approved two and half months after the first year it covers had already started is evidence of tough battles the Russian space industry had to fight for each line item in the document.

Are you sure? it looked to me that the Panther took a pot shot at the scout team.

?? Pchandler43 Mark mines is a special move command in which an engineer unit operates on a minefield to make it much less dangerous to infantry. Only infantry benefit from minefield marking. Antitank minefields can be marked, but this doesn't change their danger to vehicles. An order to mark mines is only allowed on a known minefield which is not already marked. Also, it is only allowed when the location of the engineer unit, or its last waypoint, is close to the known minefield. ("Close" here means in the same action spot, or in any of the eight adjacent action spots.) A unit performing a mark mines move will sit still for two or three minutes, not even turning to face the direction of the mines. Then, at the start of a turn, you will notice that the minefield's warning sign turned from red to light yellow; in that same turn, the engineer will crawl onto the now-tamed minefield. http://combatmission.wikia.com/wiki/Mark_mines

Split squads (some with binocs) are still within voice range to share what they are spotting with other squads....

Weather Effects During the Battle of the Bulge and Normandy Invasion

Have a look at pages 8, 11,12, 13, 14 & 15 in the linked PDF

Depends where & when - in the highlands/hills it more readily snowed, while in lower laying regions it was more sleety/rain. Weather Effects During the Battle of the Bulge and Normandy Invasion

Could be that the system is a prototype undergoing testing and not fully integrated. Stereo system and size of units could be for short range/ intermediate three dimensional tracking position measurements.

Muzzle velocity radar (MVRS) hence the cables running to and from the boxes.
