  1. LOL, once I get back to my PC that post will get an up vote. Glad you found it useful
  2. I see it now - thanks. OK I agree the WYSIWYG editor makes it slightly harder to navigate at times but on the other hand when you don't get what you expect you can see that too. In the editor there is a light switch like icon in the top left corner of the tool bar. If you click that it turns off WYSIWYG and you can see the format controls just like the old forum. Then you can manipulate multiple quotes or break a long quote up to address separate parts. In addition if you turn it off the board sw remembers your setting so you can even just leave WYSIWYG off.
  3. Not very cinimatic but shows how tough Churchill tanks are (this tank is facing member of a company of Stugs from three directions and it destroyed a bunch of Stugs - basically every shot from the Churchill resulted in a burning Stug:
  4. Nope. Full screen only. Time for a second monitor my friend
  5. Mac's don't even have a right button - at least officially. But yeah it has been a long while since I saw a three button mouse - could be pushing 20 years actually.
  6. Hey @LUCASWILLEN05 this is the second time I have seen you quote someone's post but not actually say anything. What gives? Mistake? Secret Code for those in the know? Repeating the best posts Just curious.
  7. I just did a totally lame test - one sample each and timed with my phone. For CMRT 1.00 running on my SSD drive it started in 13.7s. For CMRT 1.03 running on my platter drive it started in 26.7s. Both of those were from time of launch to main screen up I did not <esc> the splash screen. So there you have it the SSD launch *is* much faster. I guess I just don't notice anything faster than 30s
  8. Another thing to consider is movement. I think, form reading your post, that your Panthers were moving forward while the T34s were waiting. I would expect that tanks sitting still at the edge of a treeline facing some open ground would spot moving tanks coming towards them much easier than the other way around. Buttoned or un buttoned I think the advantage of being still in overwatch vs the disadvantage of moving would trump the TC's position.
  9. I have found that the forum does not automatically use mobile mode for my phone's browser and full version when on the PC. Since I have to manually switch to mobile when on my phone it associates that choice with my account and when I get back to my PC it still renders in mobile mode. I have just been switching back and forth as needed. I am also trying to report the problem to the forum software authors - but I have had zero success so far. Their support setup is totally geared towards the admins of their customer sites and not to us end users. I hope to have away at some point but for now I think you and I are stuck having to remember to switch modes.
  10. At the bottom of the opening screen it should show 1.03 as the version number.
  11. Ah, I understand now. I always just target the same place and then I can start over with target briefly again.
  12. I happen to have a few CM installs on my SSD and a few on my platter drive. I am sure the SSD games launch faster but I have not timed it, the difference is just not huge. As @Baneman says the biggest difference I notice is the boot up time.
  13. Oh cool, I though of clear target the same way @womble did. I always used a face command to do the job. Learn something new every day.
  14. This time don't listen to Ken. When your vehicles are jammed together like that it will take some time to untangle them. Things will get much worse if multiple vehicles get lazed and take evasive action.
  15. I read Bill's comment to mean he would be comfortable dealing with rolling over 2MC with a company sized force, not the whole Russian force.
  16. This might be a good time to remind everyone that just because something happens once, or twice, or even three times does not mean it always will. Also remember that when bad things happen to your forces 49.99% of the time it is your fault and 49.99% of the time it is your opponent's plan. The rest of the time it *might* be a bug.
  17. Wow you guys are making variable weather complex. How about just letting us set initial conditions and a second set of conditions at X minutes. Maybe allow a short random interval and maybe allow an optional second transition. I bet that would be plenty of work .
  18. I am a bit confused. That actually works now. That is what I do frequently (including the <grr> sound)
  19. LOL, but who will be the first to down vote themselves... I'd do it right now but that is not available in the mobile version
  20. Yeah, it has to be debunked every year or so. Now where is that article that describes the history of BFC...
  21. I am in my mobile phone so cannot comment on picture size except to say that in the mobile mode the pictures scale to fit the screen. If other words they are ridiculously small. Very cool that your mines were found. Nice nail biter moment
  22. Yep, me. I have never played CMSF but do have all the WWII games except CMBO. Sorry but totally lopsided battles are not very interesting. Perhaps that is unfair but there it is I am loving CMBS.
