Actually, looking again at the lay of avenues for armor movement, my humble and inexperienced advice would be to cease all attacks and concentrate upon the destruction of the enemy, with a view toward winning on points by casualty. Then again, whats fun about that?!?

Oh, I had thought the Congressional bit was part of it's title. Seems like they use them interchangeably on the medal society's website. http://www.cmohs.org/

You are hanging tough, but he's got you outnumbered, if not out-gunned, I'm thinking. I'm reminded of that great scene from O Brother, Where Art Thou? in the movie-house where the guy goes "DO NOT SEEK THE TREASURE!" Good luck!

Buy it, play it. You'll return to it over and over. Awesome game.

Looks like a sticky situation for your two platoons in the ville. He's going to destroy all the buildings, apparently. That's my modus operandi, at any rate. Serves a dual purpose, of course: casualties, and dust to obscure one's advance. I think you are going to need your stugs to flank him. Is it possible on this map? I would also guess that his own sharpshooter is either on the top floor of the church if that gives LOS, or across the road there and will scout your stug locale, maybe. Good luck, Oberst! BTW, sending you a setup. I'll see about making an aar of my own

It was an award a man won in a war. It's his property and he ought to be able to do with it what he wants (unless he's a communist, maybe, lol). Certainly in capitalist society, like the USA, is ought to be legal. He fought for freedom, after all, didn't he? Anyhow, that has to be the greatest medal ever. He's a Genuine Govt-Recognized Hero! They need to rename the CMoH. Maybe the Congressional Medal of Heroes.

I should add that I've been reading Tux' aar here, so dunno if your scenario is the one we ought to play? But if its just a maP AND ONE CAN PURCHASE, THEN i GUESS THAT'S FINE. Stupid button, I'm not going to fix that capitalisation (yet I will give explanatory remarks, my laziness takes a strange bent?). Be happy to play you as well Tux, if you want.

Hi. Would like to play a game or two. Send it to me at dbass at arctic(net).

ot download them? They are cut price from Battlefront atm. What is the special edition deal?

No, he meant to say reduce. If they are still shaken when they crest, then there may be increase.

Thanks for replying! I had changed the password.......... So I went into the router and had 7023 forwarded to my machine (atm the only one on the LAN) and when my friend tried to connect, I had a popup from NAV asking if I want to allow it, which I permitted CMBB. However, after that we lost connection. Is there a time-out delay thresh-hold? For the game I mean... Or might there be something else I need to do, such as configure packet size or something?

Having trouble configuring my router for CM tcp/ip play. Trouble is that I haven't any clue about it. I know the internal IP is universal for the LAN and hasn't any bearing for my opponent (well, afaik). I get my IP from www.whatismyipaddress.com Cannot connect to this either apparently. Anyone who has this router able to walk me through it? I did try to forward port for CM but I cannot access the router config for some reason. Linksys site says to access it from within a web browser, and enter ADMIN as the default password, but this gets rejected...

LOL To Runyan: I dont pretend to be the proprietor of "Universal Morality". Neither do I think Jason is. (Tho he knows he is right, this has no real basis either for the same reasons that 'History by the Victors' doesn't or he is extrapolating via Objectivist consequences and doesn't affect any 'Universal' principle unless his consequences hold true forever in any given circumstance.) I do believe that there IS a Universal Morality, so to speak, that there is one correct course of action for each situation, but I cannot with authority list them or their underlying principles. But if you are genuine and not merely switching to a passive-aggressive approach, there is plenty of guidance on the matter, both from a theologic and an objectivist viewpoint. But to try to answer your island case, I can only resort to the same argument as JasonC has and ask: Is anyone adversely affected in any gross manner?

Woah, your rebuttal is quite good, JasonC. I feel like the dilettante that I am...

Untrue. There is evidence aplenty that slaves felt themselves misused. Rome suffered greatly from slave revolts, as did Russia and I would hazard anywhere else that opportunity presented itself. The Scandinavian rituals and their ilk cannot be ripped out of their cultural bounds and used by themselves to illustrate your point. I would say that its quite possible that those subjected to this practice felt it an honor or a duty, or at least feared the shame of resistance to it. And if any did not go willingly, then I say they were misused in an immoral manner, and I'll wager so would they. And much like those imolated children, we dont know that it was considered "well and good". Perhaps they merely felt that it was a necessary evil, due to ignorance. At any rate, this argument does not make sense. You say that because they felt it was moral, and we do not, that morality changes. That is not necessarily so. Furthermore, if we DO grant that morality changes, it doesnt follow that humans are the ones changing it. Especially seeing as two out of three of your examples derive from supernatural influences and not human. Saying a people did something because of religious beliefs either allows the supernatural, in which case morality is taken from human hands, or points to the ignorance of humanity, in which case we have demonstrated that they were WRONG. I think you are confusing truth and morality. You seem to be using Truth as 'what happened'. I will concede that the victors write the history. But history is fact and as such is either true or false. If I steal a bicuit and no one knows, that doesn't mean I never stole a biscuit, no matter how many people I convince of it. And whatever I may happen to say about myself and that biscuit, it has no bearing on whether it is moral to steal biscuits or not. It doesnt matter what Iraqi children are taught. If they are taught to blow up Americans, that doesn't make it right... Even if they are the last people on Earth. So yeah I disagree wholeheartedly and I dont think you have made any solid points, Im afraid. Anyway, from this post I believe your position is boiling down to "Might makes Right'. May as well just state so outright. Just remember to duck when Jason comes to visit, lol.

I dont know if he fails to concede your so-called point or not. I certainly dont. Put simply, this "point" seems to state that truth is only what we (whoever we may be) say it is. And actually, most people do agree on what is just and what is unjust, I think. Take two of the most basic rules of mankind, which I believe you will find stated in any major system of morality: A. Do unto others... B. An eye for an eye. IF NOT A THEN B JasonC's operatus seems to follow directly from the above. BTW, the only irony I find in this thread is that logic is the finest fruit of Empiricism, yet lends itself to definition of morality, while Empiricism itself remain amoral...
