And used paint shells: I want those DayGlow beauties in my tanks!

Also, PNG is lossless and allows transparencies, which is why it is becoming the format of choice.

And CMD-Shift-4 lets you pick a portion of the screen

(there seems to be some bug in the game that manifests itself in all my tanks blowing up and all my troops becoming dead). That’s not a bug: it’s a feature!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the mac.com or me.com address: I have noticed some sites do not recognize them as valid domains.

I got neither notice.

A dish of milk and bread will usually lure them out. Hamsters are another story altogether.

Of course WEGO is very artificial: in real life we don't have time to go round the battlefield giving individual orders to each unit individually. On the other hand, what is the largest group where that could be done? I reckon a company is about the limit, larger than that you have to give general orders (take that hill) and let subordinates take care of the fine details. I suspect this is why I enjoy small unit scenarios the most, I can have the illusion that I really could control that number of men in detail. One question about the AI in RT. Are the units 'aware' of the victory conditions and behave accordingly in the absence of orders from the player? In other words could you have AI vs AI battles?

After 10 years absence I am very happy with the game. I am managing victories against the AI so far, though I get the feeling I am playing a fairly sloppy game. I seem to have units scattered all over the place and don’t know if this is more because of the 1:1 ratio, or whether I am not handling them as tightly as I used to. Anyway: congratulations to the entire BF team: a long wait, but worth it. One weird bug: infantry getting out of the trucks come through the sides with disembodied legs sticking through the canvas.

I realize this is probably not doable (at least not easily), but I would love to be able to overlay contour lines on a map. One of the few things I was good at in my limited experience was the ability to determine LOS between any two points on a map. This saved a lot of trial and error in positioning observers and ordnance. One of the small frustrations with the game is trying to find out where a unit can be placed to see point X.

Thanks: so simple. 6 minutes later. Happy, happy, happy!

Still no email. Is there a timeline for when to expect it? Thanks

We already covered that. Though the date was a bit off!

I don't think we should encourage pagan religions

As a fence-straddler I like combined arms but, if I had to choose, then infantry. Armor battles tend to be all-or-nothing. One second you are 40 tons of steel and guns, the next a flaming heap of metal filled with exploding ordnance.

The designers didn’t make bocage as a gamey ploy; they were trying to recreate an integral part of the Normandy landscape. Is no use complaining that it is too hard to penetrate, it is what it is. This is a hedge http://www.battlefront.com/community/images/attach/jpeg.gif This is bocage http://www.battlefront.com/community/images/attach/jpeg.gif Nuff said. I suppose when the Russian campaign comes out people will complain that there is too much snow, and could they have snowplows to remove it Edit: clearly I don’t know how to attach pictures : hedge on the left, bocage on the right in case there was any doubt

Well, I will double check my orders next time. As my wife will tell you I tend to be certain I did X when I really did Y.

I doubt it: the HQ was part of the suicide mission, and I am pretty certain I told them all to stay put.

I am not sure just how much initiative the AI is supposed to have. In my latest game I had two MG set up in bocage, providing covering fire across an open field. Next thing I know they have decided they are bored or something and both are trudging across the field, straight at the enemy and are all knocked out within a minute. How do I stop this kind of dumb behavior?

But, there will be no lumps of flesh flying out of the windows and discommoding the passers-by.

I understand their feeling: I reached a comfort level with CMBO that allowed me to play without having to think about the process. As a result playing was pure fun. Of course ten years have passed and I may be having a senior moment of false memories. Now the mechanics have changed (and seem more complex), so I am not enjoying the playing process as much. I am sure the enjoyment level will go up as I become more comfortable with the CMX2 engine but for now it seems like a struggle.

I really hope that the Brit tanks will come with the requisite 'tea maker' installed.

Of course, when the Australians show up, they will all be called Bruce

But then it would not be true to reality. These are very dense growths *designed* to prevent animals from moving through them, so having small holes would be pointless. Edit: Sorry YankeeDog, we must have posted almost simultaneously

Its not that we chose to live in a cave: we were locked in it when the games no longer ran on our Macs.
