I just watched as a bullet ricocheted off a wall and into one of my men as he was running past it. So yes... ricochets can cause damage and loss of life.

QB AAR with screenshots

Thank you. Yeah, I was shocked by that as well. I expected the number to be flipped around. Not that I'm complaining. Small battle, probe, rough terrain, Stryker medium infantry vs Syrian random infantry

Actually I do not play with shadows turned on which is why they are not showing in my AAR screenshots.

Actually when I clicked on the tanks the were listed as T-55 Static. That would probably be why they didn't move. However, the infantry didn't move at all.

I've finished posting and any constructive feedback would be appreciated.

I am in the process of posting an AAR over at MZO. While I am far from an expert when it comes to tactics and all you can all come look at the pretty pictures and tell me how much I messed up the battle.

Another thing I'm coming to miss... I miss being able to give a pause to the orders I issue my units while playing WeGo. Instead they always execute the orders as soon as the turn starts. Sometimes though I don't want my unit to move until later on during the turn. Something else to consider adding in during a later patch.

I have to agree that I miss a lot of what was mentioned about and would like to see them brought into the game during a patch. One thing I'm missing is that when you move your men during setup phase you have to switch to the targetting menu to have face them the way you want them pointing. I miss the old system where after you moved a unit you got to choose which way they were facing. A minor issue but something that will save a bit of time. Especially if you are moving a company or more at the beginning of the battle.

It's still too early to tell but I'm at about a 2 right now. I miss several features from CMX1 that have been taken out but I don't think it's anything that ruins the experience too much.

Sent ya an e-mail.

I do believe you are referring to Mortal Kombat MickeyD

Looks good! But one thing I did notice (and sorry if this has been talked about before) ... in the trailer you see a Stryker pull up onto a road and there's a double yellow line running down it. Now I've never been to Syria so I don't know how they mark their roads but I know in Europe they use a single white line instead of the double yellow that we use in the US. So I guess what I'm getting at is, how do Syrians do lines on their roads?

Well I went ahead and bought the full version. Bad thing is, it's still locking up on me. I find if I Windows Key + D I'm able to get to my desktop and then use Task Manager to end the game. That's a positive, no more hard booting my PC. The bad thing is that the game is still locking up even though I turned off shadowing. I have a GeForce 7800 with the latest driver so it's kinda annoying that it's locking up. Hopefully the patch will deliver and fix my issue.

Yep... I played a whole battle without a freeze. It would seem that the shadowing is the culprit. I got my butt kicked. Time to order the full version.

I've been having the same issue with the demo and its what was holding me back from buying the full version of the game. I'm gonna give this a try. <crosses fingers>

Ok... two weeks from now I'm moving from Germany back to the US... any chance I'll get the demo before then to entertain myself?

Before I was kind of being a wise guy but seriously, talk to a recruiter or two from the other branches. Initially it was a Marine recruiter who approached me about joining the military. Before that point I'd never considered joining up. But we talked and I liked a lot of what he said. It really sounded great. And I almost joined the Marines... almost. I'm very glad I talked with the other recruiters before I joined. I haven't regretted enlisting once since I joined up, I dunno if I would have been able to say that if I'd joined the Marines instead. But no matter who you talk to and how many different opinions you get the best thing you can do is go with your heart.

I suggest looking into the Air Force. There are some AFSC like Para-rescue and TACP which will get you close to the action and the quality of life is far better.

From the look of what you have I would imagine that you should be okay. But we won't know until they release the specs.

I can't answer 1 but as for 2... At the release there will be no QB generator. It will be possible to modify the scenarios that are included with the game using XML. They (and everyone else) are hoping to include a map editor in a later expansion/patch.

This wouldn't have to do with our PBEM would it?
