  1. >>It's funny... if we give a date and we miss it, people complain. If we don't give a date because we think we might miss it, people complain. If we stick to a hard date and release something that isn't ready, people complain. So the only solution is to not give dates and to release it when it's finished<<

    So how about a hint, this week, this month, this quarter? That wouldnt be giving a date. And I promise not to complain one way or the other <VBG>

  2. Hi Moon,

    Thanks anyway But I was able to get it fixed. For some reason it became unstable with the 4 GB of memory I have had in there for months and wouldnt even post. I took two out and it wouldnt boot so I moved the two to the other channel slots and it started fine. The really funny opart is I then put the first two sticks back in the now empty slots and it is runnibg fine. I guess the memory sticks just wanted a change of view <VBG>. Thanks again. Take care.

  3. Good Morning,

    I put CMSF/Marines that I got by download into two computers last week one of which just crashed. How do I get that one unlicensed so I can put it in another computer until I get mine fixed.

    I am having withdrawl symptons already as I cant beat my son on the network games we were playing <VBG> anymore. Actually he trounces me most games.

    Thanks for any help. Take care.

  4. Thanks for the info on where to find the Mosques. The one thing I miss in the new downloadable games is a bound manual but I understand why they do it. I find e-manuals very hard to get much out of.

    I havent seen any minarets in the scenario's yet so I assume there arent any? Hopefully they will add them.

    I hope they add more countries and locations as time goes on. I can think of a few I would like to see added:

    Israel

    Iran

    Iraq

    Afghanistan

    Russia

    Georgia

    Ukraine

    France

    Germany

    etc

    etc

    etc

    Hopefully they will continue to add countries and locations so you could simulate just about any modern conflict. They possibilities are endless.

    Any idea if they have any interest in expanding it? This is such a great game and much better than the original it was derived from.

  5. Speaking of stunning revelations, I notice no one has denied the 7/31 release date from the gamespot review. :confused:

    I have heard that it will help if you run around your house naked four times under a full moon.

    Give it a try.

    How about we run around Moons house for four days or at least until they tell us when the release date might be :D

  7. Has anyone noticed that you can use the undo move feature as a way to do recon cheating. My 10 year old son sends out his ships to look for my subs when playing with fog of war and if he doesnt find it the first time he hits undo move and sends it out in another direction until he finds the sub or covers all the possible area he can with that unit. Then he moves on to the next unit until he exhausts them all.

  8. In the first place you are confusing tactical airpower with strategic. Bombing german factories, or North Vietnam's factories or Iraq's factories is Strategic bombing. Attacking tanks, planes, infantry and supplies are for the most part tactical. This has been far more succesful than strategic bombing has ever been in any war. As some one pointed out earlier strategic bombing is primarily symbolic and has never won a war yet. In fact the Italian General who invented the concept stated its intended purpose was to strike terror into the hearts of the civilian population and thus destroy a countries will to fight. It has never accomplished this once. Not against the British in WWII or the Russians or the Germans. If that isnt the intent then why did we bomb Berlin suburbs flat? Why did we firebomb Dresden flat? Why did we nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki? All of those cities had two things in common; militarily they where about valuless but physically they were mostly intact so they made good demonstration targets. Airpower has neve won a war and never will. If the Allies destroyed the German oil industry with strategic bombing how is it they managed to mount all those little offensives in 1944 - 45 like the Battle of the Bulge. The fact of the matter is ground troops denied them the oilfields and they were producing synthetic fuel in factories. How were they able to shift troops back and forth from the eastern front to the western front right up to the end of the war? How come we couldnt stop the Scud missles in Iraq? These are just a few thought that come to mind if airpower is so effective. Again I say airpower is mostly ineffective, largely symbolic and nobody (except an airdale) ever believed it won a war. WIth all due respect IMHO.

  9. Strategic bombing was pretty much a flop anyway. If you look at the stats, Germany was producing more of every class of war material in 1945 than in any other year right up until the point when the Allies overran the factories. At best Strategic bombing was a nuisance and may have slowed German production some but Germany's real problem was manpower not material.
