Ive heard that he is Seanachai's new French maid (Baghdad Bob that is, not Lars).

Generally though, its not good for business to tell off customers. Personally I dont know how many times I've wanted to clock one of my clients or at least tell them to sod off so I definitively understand the frustration.
But still...

I owe everybody turns.
I think there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere.

I think CMPlayer has a crush on me.

Oh God... All that wit and a smiley too?
Begone you monstrocity. BEGONE. You are looking for the waffle-thread. There you will find wit (HA!) and panache (Right) better suited to your lack of sophistication...

I on the other hand will not be having any Christmas vacation this year. Something about lots of cases needing to be finished before the end of the year, and youngest lawyer in the firm etc etc.
Pfft...but one upside is that Im spending at least 14 hours/day at work these days...no...wait...that wasnt an upside now when I think about it.
Capitalism...gotta love it.

So if Democracy is for "loosers", does that mean that Socialism is for "tighters"? </font>Originally posted by Boo Radley:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Leutnant Hortlund:

Personally I would like to see another type of campaign than the "pick forces in 39 and fight to 45".Originally posted by Moon:Yes, a campaign mode as they are typically represented (or requested), i.e. involving hand-picking of one's forces and fighting from the beginning of the War right down to downtown Berlin while keeping the same troops who rise from green to elite troopers in the process.
Is this a good or bad idea for a CMX campaign:
You guys pick one division from a combatant included in CMX, for arguments sake, lets say US and Germany. The choise of division would be based on variant factors such as how easy/hard it would be to research it and how much combat it saw, etc etc. Lets say just for arguments sake that we pick Grossdeutschland for the Germans, and 1st infantry division for the US.
You then put the player in a very specific spot in that division. For example, you let the player command one infantry battalion in one regiment. Then you build the campaign around that. Whatever battles that battalion took part in, you let the player take part in by creating an operation or battle, depending on the historical situation. All these operations and battles are made historical, so in battle X where the players battalion had tank support from unit Y, the player also controls these tanks.
If the battalion was in reserve or if it was sent on R&R, or if it was on a quiet sector of the front, the campaign just skips these dates. If teh battalion was upgraded, from motorized to mechanized, or whatever, the players battalion is upgraded.
The campaign keeps track on all squads and all hq's (assuming that this is the units you will be using in CMX) letting them gain experience depending on previous behavior.
So on the one hand you will let the players build that special type of relationship to his little pixel-troops that only true übernerds can have or understand... Like me playing Steel Panthers 1 ages ago and keeping track of all the kills made by all my units on a separate paper, awarding them medals for heroic actions.
And then I would scream in agony as Lt Hansen...the hero of Smolensk, where he singlehandedly held the left flank against a platoon of BT-7s in his PzIII, was killed in his Panther by a IL-2 Sturmovik on some unknown polish hill in 1944.
Yes *nods* I was/am quite the übernerd.
*hrm* anyway
But on the other hand since you still keep the CM operation as the largest type of battle the unit takes part in. So you wont have to track ammo and stuff like that from 1939 to 1945. And since you lock the player to a unit and a division, you wont have the totally-ahistorical effects of having one task force or kampfgruppe being created in 1941 and then fighting all over the place once/month to the end of the war.

Ah yes... under your skillfull guidance I have come a long way from accepting scenarios with a bunch of Italians (me) attacking across a field towards a bunch of well-armed russians hiding inside heavy buildings (you).
Not all the fox-pee in the world will save you this time.

I wasnt talking about ME you TWIT. Anyone with those kind of allergies in Sweden are pretty much gone during their first living winter anyway. Around October when the snow is 5-6 feet deep and the Polar bears come to town, you'd better not have any sort of fur-allergy.

I hereby volounteer as counsel for the defence. I dont know squat about US law, and Ive never been in a trial with a jury, but on the other hand I do like beer, so I think I am more than qualified to give Boo Radley the defense he so richly deserves.
