General Jack Ripper

Best way I found to get prisoners is to give a routed enemy nowhere to go. I made a battle on CMBO where American force attacks fortified German position on top of a hill. Several times I snuck around back of gun bunkers, after taking many grenades and explosives, my guys would say 'come out with your hands in the air' and the whole German gun crew would surrender. Knocked out four bunkers this way. The rest would try to run through my men to get away, with predictable results. Anyway, I've never had a problem taking prisoners when I wanted to.

I was reading the big consolidated post about Shock Force, and I had a couple questions. 1) When the game comes out will it ship with the map and battle editor like the other CM games? 2) I saw the blue on blue thing where you could have US vs US, could you have Syrians with US vs other US? 3) Is there any definite answer on whether other countries will be modeled into the game? Maybe as an Addon at a later date? 4) one more, will air units be "smarter" in this game and not constantly attack their own guys. "Think of CMBO and CMBB and shudder." 5) Also will air power be more controllable than simply having it present and it doing it's own thing? Thats all for now.
