    For the most part I'm also with, ME, regarding the above in Bold...Thou, like Bullet, sometimes I could play a competitive Game (like Chess) of a QB Purchase System.
  2. JoMac
    Yeah, and actually what I'm trying to imply...If Vet Troops can clean the floor vs. Green Troops, then you would think Vet Troops should cost at least 50% as much. Which brings us back to; "Why would you want anything less then Good Troops" in a QB Point System.
  3. JoMac
    Yeah, if that's the case, then I have a problem with that (never noticed till you mentioned it...I only play Green w/soft factors)...So, what is the Price Differences between each Class of Troops then?...If the Price range is incremental from each other (less then %10) per Class, then there would be roughly only %20 less Vet Troops vs Green...Now, that's sounds like a problem. Maybe BF doesn't think there is much of a difference between Vet vs Green in RL Combat :-( Joe

    Go ahead and update your base CMBN Game by purchasing CW + MG, and 3.0 Upgrade Engine, then update to latest patch...After all that's said and done, then you can go ahead and purchase any of the other WWII Titles in the near future :-) Joe

    Interesting Indeed !...Yeah, my guess is that some of his futuristic Minis is there to show his interpretation of what Soviet Marines might look like in the age of Warhammer :-) Joe

    Damn it...How did I know someone like, IanL, would find his way into my post and counter it...Grrr :-(

    Hmm, I wonder if the 4.0 Upgrade for the WWII titles will finally decrease the Modern like (CMSF) Direct-Fire chances to hit Vehicles :-) Joe

    That's why I use different size Firing-Arcs depending on potential Battlefield threats that turn (normally I use a 360 degree Arc anyways)...Even, BF, mentioned that there is no reason to use the 'Direct-Fire Order as the AI will pick-out the most potential threat.
  9. JoMac
    Yeah, using Even Turns to make new Way-points, (starting on Turn 2), especially on Meetings, because the AI takes forever (if not never) to reach any Objectives...And, you can also think of it as Command Delays.

    I only play Turn-Based against Computer AI or Human Opponent (PBEM), and my 'House Rules' are as Follows: Against the Computer AI ...I don't use Direct Area-Fire, or use the Target Order (let the AI do the targeting). No Call-In Arty Barrages on First-Turn of Meeting. I also don't move on the First Turn of a Meeting Engagement, and only move on even turns (and only after all my Units have finished their current Way points). Once a Friendly Unit checks LOS at a certain Way-Point, then Unit must keep that Way-Point. Against Human Opponent...if my Friendly Unit can see any type of Enemy Icon, then Area-Fire can be conducted within One-Action Spot of said Icon. All Direct-Fire will be conducted by the AI (I use Firing-Arcs to help persuade the AI to fire at certain targets). Once a Friendly Unit checks LOS at a certain Way-Point, then Unit must keep that Way-Point. No Call-In Arty Barrages on First-Turn of Meeting. I only allow purchase of Green Troops w/certain Leadership & Motivation Levels to represent actual quality of Troops. Oops, Sorry, but got carried away...You were only asking about AI vs Player Targeting :-/ Joe

    After careful consideration, I also believe it's only Road Debris that's intersecting with tip of gun. Hmm...If I'm not mistaken, I think this 57mm ATG should be able to cross over a 'Low Hedgerow' w/out any problems...What say you, user1k :-/
  12. JoMac
    Yes, use the 'Programs & Features' accessed through the Control Panel to delete 'Steam' (along with RO & DH if it's located there too). Then, manually delete any remaining Folders (which will probably be empty if there are any) by clicking on 'Local Disk C', then Programs Files (x86)

    Yeah, if you implement those two major 'House Rules' against the AI or PBEM (need to trust an opponent who shares Realism as much as you do), then at least, it's a good work around. Of course, to take Realism a step further, and this is just a Ball-Park thought...You could impose further C&C by having Platoons only operate in it's own Zone-of-Control Block, and can only change Grand Tactical Orders (not to be confused with Tactical Way-Point Orders) every 5 minutes (if Radio equipped) or 15 minutes (non-Radio equipped)...This will allow you to plan a Flank Movement (say at beginning of Game), and not have your opponent secure it's Flank in an instant (next turn)...All of this would include players to have Active and Reserve Forces. The above is something I'm working on against the AI, but will probably never impose on a PBEM opponent due to complexity, etc...However, I know Bill H has worked on something similar, but far more detailed.

    I think we need something above 'Iron' Mode to give the 'God Player' less info...'Iron' has a nice FOW effect against the AI during the turn (less info for friendly AI), but the overall player still has to much info during the turn that can be used to instantly react in the follow-up turn. As far as 'Area-Fire' is concerned, I have implemented a 'House Rule' for 'Meetings' that Units can only Area-Fire within 1-Action-Spot of any type of Transparent Icon...I also have a 'House Rule' that say's a Player has no Control over 'Direct-Fire' and is only conducted by the AI (you can of course still use 'Area-Fire' or 'Firing-Arcs'). No...There is no need for a longer turn then 1-minute, and in fact, might make matters worse...What do you do about those sorry people who play Real-Time ? There is simply far to much (Unrealistic) Action in one turn as it is. Joe

    Actually...You should keep 'Steam' installed, and let it update 'RO', and then you should be able to play it in 'Offline Mode' or 'Online' Mod (once it's updated)...It's no big deal, but you should be able to go under your Steam Settings and control any Advertisements you receive. On top of that, you can search the Steam Library and purchase any other Games of interest (usually games that are a 1 year old + can be had for $10 or less). Not only will you have 'RO & Darkest Hour', but other Mods, like 'Mare Norstrum' (free download if it's still available) & Pacific (which you might have to purchase, but not sure)...I think you will really enjoy RO (especially DH, since there are more active servers) as I still get on them from time to time. However, if you are still insisting on uninstalling Steam, then it shouldn't be to hard to do it...Now, I have Win 7 and I just go under the 'Program Features' and uninstall 'Steam' (along with RO & DH if it's separate), and go under Program Files(x86) and delete any remaining Folders.
