  1. That was it. I had used Winzip. I forgot! Thanks to everyone.
  2. Hi, Just loaded Shock Force & the Marine Module on Vista Ultimate 64 bit & it looks & works great. I have one problem though. I downloaded Armor (Armour?) Attacks & extracted it to my scenario folder. I fire up the game & it doesn't show it. I use Windows Explorer & it shows the file in the scenario folder. Any help or suggestions?
  3. I started the Wiki & it will be named "Shock Force - Military Intel". That is, if it's okay with Battlefront. If I could use Shock Force graphics, that would be great. 100% free site & it will be open to all, so international Shock Force fans, start your engines. I want a site to enhance Shock Force for us civilians & to support Battlefront for a great game. I'm heading over to Columbus, Ohio to head bang with my Friends, American Dog, for their annual Christmas party. I will start on the Wiki Monday. I will have to recover from decadence & debauchery via American Dog & that usually takes a day or two. I'll check back soon.
  4. That's a good one! Actually "Shock Force - Military Intelligence" might not be bad. Or shorten "Intelligence" to "Intel"?
  5. I will start on gathering info on Wiki & start on the site. Can someone get me a real SMAW so I have 1st hand experience with it? I'm sure Uncle Sam wouldn't mind. I'll be checking in soon. Any suggestions for a name of the site? How about "Raw Dogs and War Hogs" from Uncle Ted's "Craveman" CD? Heee.... "Love Grenade"? There's no Barry Manilow fans that I'm insulting out there, is there?
  6. I've never done a Wiki site before but I'm game if that's what everyone wants & thinks best. I have some input here from a couple of Rangers but I would need all the help I can get. I've never been in the military so this is a true gaming experience for me. I have several videos from one of the Rangers that everyone would enjoy & I can put those on the site & let's add everyone's, from anywhere, their videos too. No gore, just some nice things that go boom. We'll keep it a family friendly site. I'm open to anything. I really feel it would be a nice companion to the Shock Force family. I want to support Shock Force in anyway I can. Let me know what you think, ideas, etc. Let me know who wants to help. I have programming experience but I never turn down free advice & help. I want to see the modules for the Israeli, German, French, Dutch, etc. military keep Battlefront busy designing & profitable making these available to us. I love the game. Battlefront deserves the kudos & the support for a great game. If we do it, everyone come up with an idea for a domain name & we can vote on it. P.S. Anyone near or coming through Central Illinois, the venison BBQ, wild turkey fry & cold suds are on me for those who help. Anyone that just wants to drop by too.
  7. I have been mulling over the idea of putting together a website with technical information of modern weapons (their effective rages, complexity, etc.) that are used in Shock Force & tactics on the modern battlefront. I would definitely need some help on things but I thought it would be a nice companion to go along with the Shock Force series of games & modules, especially for newcomers, novices like me & those with no military experience. I'm an American but in no way will that limit my website to just US weaponry. I want all countries & insights from their citizens & their military. This will be a FREE website, paid by me. No pop ups, ads or any other annoyances. Any thoughts? Any experts willing to help? Anything else? Any input? Authors? Writers? The ones who do the hard work, the soldiers of the world. Thanks in advance! JP76er P.S. My freezer is full of venison from this past weekend but I actually suffered frostbite on my right fly the bird finger & my right ring finger. A first for me, the wind was just brutal.
  8. Ding! We have a winna!! Indonesia, are you Indonesian or a Brit living there? Look for "Zalvation". It's a fairly new live CD with the singing being done by "Mad Max". He does a great job at vocals. He doesn't try to reinvent anything & doesn't try to sound like Alex but he does pay great homage to Alex. Excellent CD to pick up. I don't drink anymore but "Big Louie" was a great song to sing along with when I did. You'll like the "Isabel Goudie" version on the new CD. The boys hit it. I don't care if there is American equipment in the British module. I'm 100% American & I will buy is as soon as it comes out in preorder. I want to be able to try out other counties equipment. New toys makes ya happy.
  9. Sold!! Oops, not for sale yet. I know you guys are wincing at being bugged about when the module will be released by all of us. I promise to wait until right before Christmas. Joking aside, I can't wait for the Brits to arrive! The game just keeps getting better. Great job Battlefront. I love music. Let's see how old our British mates on the forum are in a musical question. How many here still carry the spirit of Alex Harvey? Yes, I'm old.
  10. In both scenarios, they were shots at buildings that held some annoying pockets of enemy. Looks like a great launch & then whammo, swimming pool at your twelve. I am going to try another scenario & I will report back. I'll try against armor.
  11. Not that I have noticed. Just with the two scenarios that involve Stryker units. I'll rty some other ones & see what happens. Marine module works great, no problems so far.
  12. You write & understand English very well. How did the Ted Nugent suff come through? I can just imagine how it translated.
  13. Well, that stinks. If I was just Joe average grunt, they wouldn't allow me to play with a Javelin? I'm taking my football & going home. Seriously though, I've played this game at least a couple hundred times (Disabled with Multiple Sclerosis so I can play a lot when I'm up to it. PLUS, early retirement sucks, work as long as your health will let you & enjoy life. Retirement becomes boring very quickly & my dog is getting P.O.ed because I keep hiding his bones. Now there is a nice life for ya. I love Rock N' Roll & I'm enjoying going deaf to some Uncle Ted. That's my Saviour.) & I have never seen this before once. I've seen plenty of misses that to me, are the simulation of the real world. No, somethings up. It only goes approximately 43 meters & then it builds a nice fishing pond. I have the saved files right after each occurrence for the powers who be. Let me know & I'll send them on.
  14. It's happened twice more in the same battle in "A Bridge Too Far". Approximately 43 meters. They make great foxholes for your men but I don't think the higher powers would like paying that much for a hole to hide in. Of course if you are a CEO of a company, these work great to felicitate a safe place to hide after their "Golden Parachute" ride.
  15. I have played two scenarios where one one my teams, squads or scouts has launched a Javelin & it has went 43 meters & detonated straight into the ground. Twice was in the "House Cleaning" scenario & it was fired by the Platoon Leader MOUT squad. I just downloaded the new version of "A Bridge Too Far" & this time it was a scout team & it was the same 43 meter travel & detonation. Are my guys suffering from "premature detonation"? I have saved game files of this but I won't cough em up if you make fun of my tactics. I have no military experience & I'm at the "G.I. Joe" level. Actually, I just moved up to the veteran level but still don't know what I'm doing half the time. I completely uninstalled Shock Force, reloaded it & then installed the Marine Module as soon as it was available. I started over with a completely new & clean install. These are the first problems I've seen. Let me know what you think & would like me to do. Thanks!
  16. I'm the one that started it & it was in no way meant to be offensive. I was excited to hear some Russian insight on the game. If I offended anyone, I truly apologize. I was just having fun with Babelfish. It's great writing something & then re-translate it & you sound like a baboon. No offense to baboons of course. Have you ever been near a baboon before? Sneaky & mean. They are smart & they know just how far they can push things before beating feet in a retreat. I hunt & it's very humbling entering the woods. Man is no longer the supposed smartest species. You are lowered more than a few notches on the wise one scale. Болт, Приденная охота некоторое из & миров самого большого; самые вкусные олени вокруг с нами. Можете вы принести T-90 поэтому я могу сыграть? Само лучше, jp76er
  17. Babelfish is great. It can make you sound like a complete idiot while you goof up another language.
  18. То смогло быть большой делом основанным паутиной, если вы смогли улучшить технологию для служения хорошего питья через ваш ПК. Я мог начать работу на то одном.
  19. Dima, Сделал вас для того чтобы сказать " Glocks" или " Glucks"? Не обращайте внимания я, I' m имея & чтения потехи; играть с Babelfish.
  20. I'm afraid I have never served in the military so I can't answer anything for you. Just a welcome! There are some great people here & I'm sure they will start to answer your inquiries. Myself, I'm going to sit back & get a good education from the people that know. I would love to hear more on the T-90. Добро пожаловать!! Утесы Тед Nugent кстати!!! (I bet that translated well. Gotta love Babelfish!)
  21. It ended up affecting other scenarios. I believe it was a mod I installed but wasn't sure which one. Just removed the game via Control Panel & reinstalled. Works great.
  22. Hi, I really like this scenario but the sound is coming out strange. I'm not getting any of the firefights, just a RPG every now & then. I'm also hearing what I think are sniper shots when I'm setting up my moves on my unit. I have not had any problems before. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks! Here's my set up. I do vinyl audio restorations & even though I have zero musical talent, I love it & this machine was built to enjoy!! Intel® Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5B-Deluxe 2.94GB DDR2 (Actually 4GB but only have 32 Bit Windows XP Running. Changing that soon.) NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT Creative SB X-Fi Pro Using Monster Audio Interlink® LightSpeed 200 Higher Performance Digital Fiber Optic Cable I run a clean machine & this is the only problem I'm noticing. I can still make the neighbors leave for the day when I crank up Uncle Ted.
  23. That would be nice wouldn't it? I worked the Chitown area in my career as a Senior Telecomm Engineer & we installed a LOT of phone switches in hospitals (PBX) & I was shocked then as I still am now. The areas on the south side & west side looked liked arty strikes. The public schools have been broken forever & it's a very bleak life these kids face. No wonder gangs can thrive there. We should be able as a country, give these kids a good education & a leg up to better themselves. End the cycle of violence that goes on in these neighborhoods every day & to every generation of young people that live there. Clean up & rebuild these areas. I know, I'm dreaming...
  24. Hi John, I wish I had a place to check "For Our Military" on my income tax papers for ALL of my personal tax dollars. I know there are secret projects & I'm very happy they are happening. No, I don't believe "Joe the average citizen" needs, should or legally be told about them. I'm quite satisfied with that. Closest thing I have ever been to military was as an Emergency Medical Technician with the Civil Air Patrol over twenty years ago. We had a retired Colonel & he told us that we will never know much or anything at all about a lot of things we had back then. It's the same now & I sleep great at night knowing that my country & my family are protected by our servicemen & women. Spend as much as needed to make them the best & most feared military plus the best protected. That is the way the real world is.
  25. I liked it for just those reasons. having to maneuver around to get a good flank shot. It definitely shows the different approaches to armor. I used the naval arty on them & knocked out 1. I then used a squad split into 3 teams plus a SMAW team & took out the other two. I definitely took a hurting to do it though. Excellent module so far!
