[Indicating which units have orders]

Maybe turning on bases could indicate by their color which units currently have orders. This would be less messy than showing paths/targets.

[Is "neutral steering" simulated visually?]

Can you see the tracks of tanks that actually had neutral steering rolling in opposite directions when executing a 'rotate' order?

[Vehicle turn rate - bug]

Whether rotating in response to a 'rotate' or 'fastmove' order, I watched as only one track of each type of tank in the demo moved, with the "fastmove" rotation being quicker.

Would someone similarly verify that both tracks of tanks that did in fact have "neutral steering" move, and (hopefully) in opposite directions?

Harpoon demo includes the manual.

Would one of you guys explain how posting manuals would threaten sales?

Why does BTS not make available for download the complete manual, say in PDF as is the case with many demos?

[Terrain analysis techniques]

Are there any techniques to make more efficient the process of terrain analysis, which for me is the only significant cause of tedium in this game I've found so far. TacOps allows LOS to be checked between any points on the battlefield whether or not units are present.

[Is there a "requested features" thread?]

Well, is there?

[How fast is your game?]

My computer is so fast that time actually slows down when I hit go. It's like a black hole contained right on my desk, where the laws of nature and physics as we know them cease to exist

Note to self: Don't post while stoned.

[A slight diversion while we wait for CMBB. CMBO meets SL/COI.]

Yep, I'm definitely buying new golf clubs next year.

[Why was camera rotation changed?]

For CMBO my mouse is programmed to have the camera pan laterally when a button is held down while the cursor is buried in the left or right edge of the screen. This is no longer necessary in CMBB so that now that button is programmed to move the camera from point to point.

[Can labels be modded?]

True, but this way they'd be visually separable and thus readable at a distance.

[Can labels be modded?]

Cluttering could be reduced by abbreviating unit status labels; "A" for "Abandoned" etc.
