This action gets a mention in Cariu's book - but it does not cover the latter ones he describes. ..... </font>

Are these battles depicted in Otto Carius' book Tigers in the Mud? The descriptions above do sound familiar. Mies

Can we go somewhere already to practice for the "night of the refresh monkey's"?

Maybe the crew is a little light headed from too much Schnapps?

Hi mom! Seriously, in some occassions I wish people would shout their opinions to the walls of their home in stead of splattering them over this board. Mies

I was just going to say that. I was wondering how the AI decided when the troopers should pass left or right of the Stryker. Is that done at random or is for example a danger factor included as well? Mies

Oh cr*p, only now I'm at work I find out about this? Have to wait another 8 hours.....

I can only second that. I'm Dutch and into history. Most people are not. A random question to highschool students on when, which Dutch city got bombed heavily during the war and how many people lost their lives got answered something like "That was Arnhem in 1945 when planes dropped food packets that turned out to be bombs. Around a million people died." And that was from students that managed to come up with an answer. I'm not saying that everyone needs to know everything from history, but some awareness as Tripp has given his students wouldn't be out of place here either. Job well done Tripp. Mies

I hope this guys birth date is mistyped as it would probably make him the youngest Luftwaffe pilot at just under 14 years of age when the war began . Mies

I've been reading this thread and couldn't remember for the life of me what a Hs-129 looked like so I looked it up. If anyone's interested, maybe some good pics in this collection. Edit : Ignore the obvious non related stuff in there. And question, what is the thing on the b&w photo to the right, 2nd row from the bottom? Mies

In reading all of the above, I can't help thinking that it would have been a lot shorter conversation if the spot where the Marat was attacked and subsequently sunk, damaged, beached, killed, immobilized and so on, would have been dredged out a little deeper. Mies

I tried some different type scenario's with the above setup and except for small setup I can't play anything comfortably. The computation before the action starts takes as long as running "To the Volga" on an underspect pc. Also manouvering through the terrain is too slow to play. And then there's the sound which is horrible. Back to the drawing board once again.... Mies

It's been a while (in fact almost a year) but I gave running Comba Mission under Linux another go. An lo and behold I managed to get CMAK working, more or less. I'm able to install and startup CMAK using cedega's latest CVS build on Ubuntu Edgy. I can start a battle and play it as well. At this point only the sound is not 100% and the game is terribly slow, but at least it works. Should anyone want to experiment, here is what I did. Install steps cedega from cvs on Ubuntu Edgy : Install dependent packages for Cedega: sudo apt-get install cvs build-essential bison flex-old libasound2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg62- dev libfreetype6-dev libxrender-dev libttf2 libttf-dev libsdl1.2-dev l ibsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl- net1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev msttcorefonts libfontconfig1-dev The x-window-system-dev package is listed as a requirement, but it's not a part of Ubuntu anymore aparently so I left it out Download : http://winecvs.linux-gamers.net/WineCVS.sh or any other download location you can find. Wine / Cedega doesn't install properly with gcc4x so do the following at the prompt : export CC=gcc-3.4 make Note : I had to install gcc 3.4 first. Just synaptic package manager or apt from the prompt. Run : sudo WineCVS.sh Choose option 1 and follow steps through the install Change your config file. Mine looks like this, the stuff that changes anyway : </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> [Drive C] "Path" = "/home/mkoning/games/windows/c/" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "Dos Drive" "Filesystem" = "win95" [Drive D] "Path" = "/media/cdrecorder" "Type" = "cdrom" "Label" = "CD-Rom" "Filesystem" = "win95" [Drive E] "Path" = "/tmp" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "tmp" "Filesystem" = "win95" ....

Perhaps a little late, but I stumbled on this topic searching for something else. Should you still want to release your work in book form have a look here : http://www.lulu.com/ . It's a do it your self book publishing place where you can create your own book. Even if only for a personal copy. Haven't tried it myself because I haven't got anything to poor onto a couple of pages, but I have read some nice stuff about the concept. Mies

It will be here when Chuck Norris says so!

Excellent, hahaha!

Someone get Schrullenhaft in here. Fix or do somefink! Mies

Very funny. And at least now I know why the Russians won th war in the East. They had a secret Jacky Chan company haha ! Mies

Chuck Norris invented heat waves so he could be cool and watch how others suffered while he's popping a brewsky. I know I am suffering...

Chuck Norris can split someones personality with a blink of an eye.
