    More importantly, the CDV version is copy protected by SafeDisc, which means that you can't make a usuable backup copy of the game CD.

    I don't believe the American version has this restriction, but I'm ready to be corrected.

    Regards, Len.

    Hmmmm, that explains why I can't get the in-game movie to work with my copy of the game. I wonder if it also restricts you from playing modded wave files?

    Who's For a Jolly Sing Song, and Another Go At the Peng Challenge?

    The time has come to announce my first defeat in my very first PBEM game! My poor Brits were heavily bullied by mtcross and his sausage munching krauts. Having lost my tin cans early in the game, my sourly squaddies were given a severe beating up by his tanky warriors and ran off with their tails between their legs several times. In true Brit tradition though, they kept coming back for more, suckers!! In the end, I had to surrender them, it was time for the fish and chips, and a round of ale or two.

    That's right. Pick the ONLY medium-light (not HIGH-light) in the last 35 years of Australia vs Poms. Pathetic. One match is all you can point to. It just underlines the pathetic state of English Cricket.

    Ask yourself...have you won anything against the Aussies in the last 5 Ashes outings... ?

    Don't take too long. You know those two brain cells will overheat.

    Personally, I think it's time to return the MBT back to Aussie soil, mainly because it upsets Seanachai and the Just-a-mode-of-transport.

    btw Goanna, you have nothing to fear with me standing behind you, unless your scales can be mistaken for fluffy, white wool.

    "HERE, HERE!!!" I formerly second the move.

    Excuse me UG (thats short fer UberGnome you twats!) but I detect a certain trend in those two excerpts. Sigh... How the mighty have fallen........your foppish address to the masses made me - CRINGE!!

    Oh, BTW I should have that transmitter fixed in no time to catch the end of the WORLD SERIES CRICKET TEST MATCH. I know Simmo is REALLY hanging out for it (and secretly, I know Joe can barely contain himself), so hang in there you Aussie wannabes.....

I am further guessing that this is some kind of metaphor for the entire India-British struggle of yore. Now, I must admit, it sounds a bit trite (and probably is) but if you think about it, isn't "a heated Cricket match" pretty much the way the British view everything?

    Incidentally, the main character, I imagine the Indians coach, or pitcher, or Marketing Agent, or whatever is named Papa Khann (Note: the movie character's name is here-in boldened, not the foolish git who is currently reading this.)

    Now, what this all means, PK, is that I offered you a challenge yesterday, and you FAILED TO RESPOND!!! And that, friends, is a slight worth shouting about. PK, check back a page or two, wipe the sweat from your brow, show due contrition, and step forward to meet this challenge! You sir, have been named, and found wanting.

    That's a bit strong coming from an American, whose country holds the "World Series" of baseball, when only American teams are invited to take part!!

    Blind?

    If you really want to comment meaningfully on a scenario, you can only do so after playing it 'blind' or 'double-blind'. Otherwise you know the surprises and enemy force composition, and that obviously affects your play, and some scenarios will be completely unplayable, because the designer relied on the fog of war effects.

    Thanks for the information smile.gif

    Bo Diddley my last turn to you bounced last night, when you return to the land of the living.....FIX IT YOU MORON!!

    So, let me get this straight. A file that you sent me, bounced and now you want me to fix it?

    Sure no problem. I'll just use my Uri Gellar-like mental powers and repair the faulty code. Tell ya whut. While I'm at it, I'll also use my prodigeous mental prowess to do your dishes, change the oil in your car and give you a personality. Wait! Wait a sec. I don't think that even I can pull that last one off.

    Sorry, you'll just have to remain a pillock.</font>

    Not in my case Pan Head, all I'm really good at is leading my French sissies to their deaths at the hands of Bo Diddley's heathen Hun.

    Oh, and Berlington Berti I'd like to say I'm honoured to be swiped at by someone with such a low member number as yours........but I'm not, I don't give a toss for your seniority!

    You now stoop so low as to insult My Beloved Corps? Not even Papa Smurf or that other SSN... whasisname...

    [qb]Garbled incoherent rubbish from Bo Diddley

    Well of course it's dead, thats why I sent it to within 50m of your end of the map! It seems like your little girlies don't want to play unless I offer them a sacrificial lamb first!</font>
    Well, here's an idea, Alfalfa. Why don't you send the rest of your troops forward one by one?

    Or you could at least send me a move. Any move.<HR>

    Bo Diddley

    If you would like to lift that 450lb of lard you call a body from your revoltingly oudorous bed, and proceed to the battlefield, you will see that some of your little German chappies have stumbled blindly through the fog into a whole heap of trouble!!

    Now Bo Diddley I realise you would like to colapse like the proverbial pack of cards to an inglorius defeat, but please, don't make it too easy for me!

    Was that the first installment of a multipart reply or something?

    Where is the wit? Where is the personal insult? Where is the slightest indication that Pavlov didn't reject you as too stupid to use in his experiments?

    If I'm going to unleash Panzer Armee Khann upon you so that you can learn a thing or two from my superior tactical awareness, you're going to have to provide at least a minute amount of provocation.
