You heard wrong.

Global Warming. :mad:

A Wii version would be fabulous.

I have been able to move through breeches caused by artillery (155mm) - these did display rubble.

You can't change mode mid-battle or mid-campaign - only at the start of each.

That's what I had in mind actually. I'm glad that finaly someone honored my screen capture and image posting skills. Jens </font>

You need numbering if you use PBEM Helper - not that I know if it works for CMSF yet.

It has many options.

LOS was not WYSIWYG in CMX1 either and HD command was not even in CMBO IIRC. Experience of playing the game should tell you where to be hull down - as in CMX1. The big advantage CMX1 has of course is that the LOS tool confirms that you are actually hull down to a specific spot you pick. So you soon are able to judge without a specific command where to place your units. Once you are able to get that sense of manual judgement I think the player can do better than a specific HD command - which cannot possibly be hope to assess all the details that the player can. A 3D battlefield with 360 degree possible threats must be hard for the game to calculate the optimum HD positions to take up. I suspect that's why I stopped using the HD command in CMBB - I could do better myself. Anyway that's just my opinion - early days in the new game yet - I'm only playing WEGo at the moment - maybe I'll change my mind when I move up to RT

Let's hope they get some of these issues sorted - shooting through walls is particularly alarming to my commanders.

The other question is how much should you rely on the computer to do your job for you. I actually enjoy putting my units in good positions by myself - it's part of the skill of the game to me.

Why did he ask for 3 then? Unless you can read my mind it is unclear to me.

I too was wondering when my deluxe mousemat would arrive!

It's not clear to me if he means: 1. Hulldown to a spotted enemy 2. Hulldown to a selected spot irrespective of spotted enemies 3. Hulldown to a general direction 4. All of the above with one command? He has asked for all 3 in different posts. If it's clear to you then which is it? If you're asking for a command it must be a good idea to define what you want the command to do. I'm just interested to know exactly what he wants it to do.

Exactly!

Nailing jelly to the ceiling is very difficult - it keeps moving - try it. That's the point I'm making. What he is asking for does not make sense - because he keeps changing what he is asking for. It's hard to be constructive when he's not clear what he wants in the first place. Yes there used to be a command for it. Does he want it to work exactly like that old command? I've not got any problems with him, or you, asking for the command. I'm trying to understand exactly what he wants the command to do. If you find that unconstructive then tough.

Which bugs are fixed with these patches?

You are the one being unclear what you want. Up to now in this thread you have asked for: 1. A flawed command from CMX1 2. A version of a Hulldown command that already exists - Hunt 3. Another version of a Hulldown command that operates without sighting the enemy. It's hard to discuss the options with somebody who keeps changing what they actually want and then accuses people who are trying to help with not listening.

This is like trying to nail jelly to the ceiling. Adios.

Hey BOOM$STALKER I'm convinced I said something useful 48 posts ago. I try to keep up that 1 in 50 ratio.

Buy it from Paradox and you can use Paypal IIRC.

That is exactly what the HUNT command does. Why do you need a "Hulldown" command that replicates an existing command?
