Coffee spat all over the screen ... that is the funniest thing I've read on this forum for a long while.
Jesus Q Christ, guy, it wasn't that funny.

Jesus F Christ. They get the ONLY actual working Tiger, In. The. World., for the movie, and you complain about the freaking smoke launchers?
Who are you, Dorosh?
(FWIW, that Tiger was captured in Tunisia in early 1943, and was from of one of the earlier production batches, so the nit you picked is probably technically correct. But JFC ... wood for the trees, much?)
Actually the proper expression is Jesus H Christ, if you want to show frustration with my nitpicking at least use the oath properly.
No, I am not now, nor ever have been Dorosh.

Do the Sherman tanks look like Easy 8's?, most surely not short-barreled 75mm, although some may have been that type. Also the Tiger looked as if it had smoke dischargers on the turret, weren't they gone in later models?
Trialers always have the best looking scenes, one cannot make a judgement until you have seen the whole movie. War movies are always entertaining, because the dead guys get up after the scene is shot. Also in today's war movie making, the drive for realism in period uniforms and equipment is very strong.

You know that the destructive borer beetle is making a comeback in the Northeast. Probably a good thing if all the trees are dead anyway, as we reduce our carbon footprints to fit the mold of the climate change crowd, there will be less carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the trees will die anyway.

I hope its not the voice that goes; "Run away, run away, run away!"
Whenever I hear that one I know my British lads are in serious trouble. -
Why is it that some folks start an "I am thoroughly disgusted with Combat Mission" for the following reasons, and I will never play it again unless BFC fixes this horrible problem which causes my frustration" thread, and then never come back in to comment on subsequent posts relating to their rant. I find that quite curious.
There is probably a logical reason for it.

Good word. You lot are still here?
What did you think, that we were all killed in a horrible "Final Destination" like tragedy?

I am in your timezone, and always looking for PBEM opponents.
I don't use CMH, but Dropbox, and I have all games, however I do not play CMSF any more.
Message me if you are interested.

And they're welcome to keep you. Preferably in a cage in a galaxy far, far away. Maybe on a planet circling a star set to go supernova...but that seems a bit harsh, even applied to you. I mean, why blow up a whole star system when a few well done strokes with a Louisville Slugger will accomplish the same end and provide greater emotional satisfaction?

Yeah we sent him to a small planet near Alpha Centauri. He is is very happy, the first episode of "The Golden Girls" finally reached there.

So how's the whole doddering old man thing working out for you? Got it down pat by now, I'd imagine. You've been at it for such a long, long, long, endlessly long, one day slowly, inexorably grinding into another, time, eh? Know the meaning of entropy inside and out... literally... I would say. Come to realize pudding is your best friend?
But I assume you've also come to embrace the concept of truly how liberating adult diapers are.
Good for you, Michael!
Only someone who is intimately familiar with the ravages of age could describe them as well as you have Olde Boo!!

What? No donkey porn?
Michael
You of all people should know that it requires more than 5k of RAM for any kind of decent porn.

Yep, all the time, I feel compelled, its hard not to.

gawd I somehow came across the podcasts y'all used to do and thought, huh an interview with Steve from 2006, that could be interesting.

Um yeah right, instead I end up at a link from some Japanese pervert with a message so foul my wife blushed. I didn't bother asking her to translate even though it might very well have been the normal ramblings of someone from the cesspool...
Thats some really disturbing archival content. Thank goodness the actual podcast links are broken.

I think I've found an Ahab on my Moby Dick...
Is he beckoning? Maybe Emrys will follow.

Whot the bleedin' 'ell is goin' on 'ere? I see the feckin immortal MBTon page feckin THREE! Where is there a Peng, or a Berli, or, god for-feckin-bid, a Seanachai?
Hiram? Moriarty? Lawyer? JDMorse? OGSF?
The missing roll call is long and sucky.
I knew Obama was trying to empty out Guantanamo Prison, but letting you go has the be the worst mistake he has made so far.
-
Ow God, and here I was thinking Peng is dead... What a drag.
The more you keep saying it....the less likely it becomes!
-
Its a good thing that bullets kill quickly then, lead poisoning can be a slow and painful death.
I always thought that Emrys had colica pictorum.

Mis-spelled and not bolded as it should be.

This thread proves that we will respond to just about anything, even something as obviously set up as this.
Even Emerys got sucked in, but that is not saying much, he replies to everything.
He even added a smiley, just to make sure we knew he was not being serious, wow!

Your first post is classic man, did you spend a lot of time composing it?
The concept you describe has merit, and has been requested for quite some time.

The TAB key gives you the perspective of the unit you pointed to before you enabled it.
You can get down to low level and basically "see what that unit sees". If you leave the lock on while in the movie phase (if you play WEGO) the camera will follow the unit as it navigates across the terrain. Hitting TAB again disables the lock.
View Lock and Unit Lock are esentially the same thing. The tab key only performs the one function. However in unit lock you can move the camera around the unit that you are locked on with the mouse to see that unit from different camera perspectives.
-
My take-away from all this is that I don't want to be hit by a bullet. Check.
Don't worry, no one ever dies "it's just a fleshwound"

What do you expect from a former KGB operative?
For so many years the story of the Great Patriotic War told from the Russian side was cloaked in secrecy, and very few unvarnished accounts were published. Looks like we are headed back to the xenophobic ways of the old USSR under the Putin regime.

Sod Off twit! [spelt but not bolded]

File is fast approaching dropbox. I'm loading it into the smoke discharger as we speak.
