Agreed, a superb piece of work by the Battlefront team (including the Beta people). I can only hope they don't burn themselves out dealing with the flow of complaint and requests for tweaks - I want to be able to give them my money for a while yet (looking forward to the Eastern Front). Take it easy for a bit guys, don't forget to smell the roses.

Elves get a racial bonus for the use of swords and bows, so she could be an Elven M-U. No need to go multi-class here.

Wotton Costard - I resist the temptation
Some Of the English types. Actually I look at the list and think - if I were to invent some I could never make up such a collection.
Bites back and gives you a severe case of the runs. Not a pleasant experience.

Thanks Chris - that'd explain it.

Sounds like an intermittent bug. I've had it happen too: the Hide button doesn't change when clicked. I had to move the unit to get the functionality back. WEGO, no game save.

You know what they say...opinions are like a$%holes...everybody has one.
...and nobody wants to look at the other guy's. Emrys excluded, of course.

Magpie Oz, the M1A2 did not have gold sparkles on the turret or cannon, nor was it intended to camouflage itself in the Blue Oyster Bar. (I have it on good authority that the nail polish remover is good for ungluing noses that get too close to the source, by the way: a tip I'm sure you'll appreciate.)

That was a nice story, Granpa... tell us another.
"Wheel him 'round the other side, Nanna."
Joe rightly deplores the state of SSN challenges these days. "Please sir, may I have a beating? Oooh, yess, like that, only could you perfume the bootlaces next time?" Faugh, your vinegar is Tuscan balsamic with a hint of verjuice, your bile coaxed from the willing stomach of the Bolivian Pissant Tree Shrew with recordings of Enya and "Wanna buy a cave painting?" Bob's "Blowin' in the wind". If Stuka was to run you over in his Albacore Monster Fun Truck you'd plead a case of the sads for the little juice you'd squirt onto his undercarriage.
The whole tone of this place is that of somewhere out of the gutter and standing on the sidewalk (so's the merkins can understand, see, tho' it wrecks the rhythm), hand outstretched and begging for acceptance into wider society. Aren't you blind enough to see that they're on their way down to join us? Do you think they really want to? Instead of begging we should be offering to carry their junk, tripping them so that they fall the rest of the way and stockpiling the loot to retire on. M'oz (the little whiney one) and his fellows unrecognised can tread water in the pool or hold the newbies down, tie them together (preferably face down) to make a raft. We need not worry about drying out in the warmth of the new sun, as more bodies go in, the level of the pool will rise and we will find ourselves once more basking on its shores, feigning interest in the odd dip of the toe. Pickled, moist and fragrant like a squashed cane-toad - that's us.

You're a suspicious bugger, Diesel.

Stuka, o great one, I recognise your peerless appreciation of sycophancy and am shamed. But it shames us all that your Northern Hemisphere Holdings (Unlimited) be administered by a Collingwood supporter. I beseech you, I implore you, reconsider; the quality of mercy is not strained.

Baseball aside, today marks the first time colonies broke from their mother country to become a nation in their own right.
Carthage? Japan? Americo-erotic is all fine and good, but really...
Happy birthday Yanks. Give your new overlord Stuka a kiss with a baseball bat for us.
Boo, send a setup - I yearn to beat your pixeltruppen into yet another bloodied pile of pulp.

Is the column advance dependent on the cover available - on the causeway, is there a wall that provides some cover, so the squad uses what it can? I think the advance across open ground tends to be less linear. If the movement is plotted alongside bocage the squad tends to use it for maximum cover i.e. they advance in column. Perhaps the movement order could give a secondary option for breadth of front for the advance: right click, place click for breadth = use the whole road (or field) instead of the ditch to one side? It seems like it might be a lot of work for not too much gain, and bound to bring into play second (and third and fourth...) order problems associated with the end point of the movement.

siffo, I've had optics knocked out on tanks (red cross in the damage panel) which meant the tank was then unable to use its main gun; M4 and Panther. It looks like the different optical blocks can be damaged separately.
-
Michael, all of those [non-excretory] activities require the lid to be down, no?
-
Hi Bugged. She would if she could, but she won't so she can't. A bit like toilet seats. Ok, so I get that females have less competent immune systems and don't wash their hands; fair enough, we males should make sure the lid is up. But I'd like to know why we have lids on the bloody things if they're supposed to be open all the time?

noxnoctum, we're seeing the promotion (to power) of capability supplanted by the promotion of status relationship: these days, that status is based on money. The development of the economies of the latter part of the last millenium required the identification and promotion of capability. Legal and political systems were developed to maintain and develop the society, behaviours were driven by those systems to further the power of the societies that adopted and cared for the mythologies and values that lay behind the intellectual constructs through the economic benefits they delivered. A positive feedback loop was achieved that directly resulted in the technological and economic advances of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - within those societies that followed the rules.
World Wars One and Two (especially Two) saw the emphasis on the need for promotion of capability: a great many people's survival literally depended on it. We're now two generations removed from the recognition of that need and have reached the point where the ignorance of the constructs that underlie our society and outright denial of the values and mythologies that brought it into being as a powerful and advancing culture are about to spell its ruin. It takes a long time to build something of beauty, function, form - value. These cretins are intent on enhancing their own comfort levels (and that is the true crassness of their impulse) and are completely ignorant of the consequences of their behaviours. They will not take responsibility, they haven't the capability to fix the problems. We're ****ed.

She gets a new pair of squishy earrings and I get to keep my dignity. As a bonus, I don't have to go shopping with her and, possibly, she'll do something about that fat ass. (Not that I'll get to enjoy it, but there you go - it was never about me now, was it?)
-
6 was solved when God appeared to his favourite prophet, Charles of the Jar, in a dream. The chosen people gladly give up their rights to the remote in exchange for time with CM.
12 is easily solved with "Babe, your ass is fat. Doesn't matter what you put it in, its still fat." Bingo, no more shopping trips. Conjugal rights are a little tricky to manage after the use of this tactic, but when were they ever easy to negotiate? At least this way you go with dignity, your integrity intact.
-
Also handy for encouraging a mutinous or unwilling squad - who has the firepower here, eh?
-
Blackcat, edge of map makes some sort of sense as all three crews were hard up against it (small map, limited deployment area). I found that the one crew that could fire initially was unable to fire when the angle of the mission changed to their left beyond the "straight across the map" orientation. Possibly the layout of the crew around the tube has the gunner positioned "off the map" for that orientation of fire and we're seeing some sort of unwelcome result of this. It'd make sense for the same problem to happen to ATGs with trees interfering with gunners' LOS, tanks too, apparently.
-
bodkin, does it resolve or do you have to reset the fire command? I figure someone has a dud shell in the breech (it's raining, maybe I have a problem with mud in the tube?), but how long does it take to tip a 60mm tube upside down to clear the blockage? I told them, NO chewing gum on ops.
-
Two of them, last time I looked. But one is busy falling into the sea, ya?, so I could well be mistaken. Not likely, but remotely possible.
-
Where the hell is the Eastern Island? And I only breed with sheep that aren't my first or second cousins. Boo does too have a lawn - the smoking ruin beneath his burnt out Camry.
-
I couldn't find anything with a search on this. Calling in 60mm mortar fire, three separate fire missions: one of the mortars is doing fine, the other two are stuck in a fast loop where the gunner is planning and spotting, but never gets around to firing. The fire missions were called in by the same spotter in the same round. WEGO, save game available.
US Customer Service
in General Discussion Forum

I just had the very pleasant experience of dealing with a US customer service guy, helping sort out a 'puter problem. BF's customer service is outstanding. Every time I have dealt with a US company the quality of its CS has been streets ahead of anything I've experienced from anywhere else. (Maybe you just like Aussies, but I would like to credit you with better taste.)
Guys, you can do stuff like this - be the absolute best in the world when it matters to you. What the **** is going on with your political leadership at the moment? They suck at customer service, fer sure.
