Well, the Brits still are waiting for a "Brew tea" option.

I have had nothing but great experiences with BF. In those cases where there was a dispute or problem, they worked to fix it promptly and graciously.

It has started to download the Windows version (I am on a Mac): I don't remember seeing a place where I had a choice. Any Mac users got an idea?
Thanks

Me! I bought Wizardry 1 for My Apple II (I didn't even have a IIe) at a computer software convention in San Francisco. Back then, software conventions were 75% games. That was the best game ever, for its time.
Age of Empires? Silent Service? So, what, you guys are like 40? You think that's old?
Pfah! What about SSI's 50 Mission Crush? Or Baltic 1985? Those were the earliest wargames around.
Who remembers playing games on their Commodore PET? Warlords anyone?
Will CMRT ever get released? The March deadline has come and gone. I'm so sad.
Ah Wizardry! I still fire it up on an Apple II emulator from time to time---Tiltowait, better than a small tactical nuke! BTW 40 is a very distant memory, but 71 is the new 40.

I got my Commodore PET with 4K of RAM in 1978 and had to write my own games, as there virtually none available. When I upgraded to 32K I was sure I could never run out of memory, but within a month I had written a game that used every byte.

They can't possibly release it tomorrow: who would believe an April 1st release?

Scotland's loss is surely South Africa's gain.
It would improve the quality of two countries at once.

I think we should introduce all our wives/girlfriends/significant others to each other, and give them a hobby. That will give them all something to do, and they will already have a common interest to discuss - their wacky, addicted gents.
One word: Pinterest

Well, apparently Apple has a macro issue with conflict. Period. On this basis, to resolve a burning one, I propose that Apple be forced to have two virtual calculators in not only the Mac OS/iOS, but in all apps employing such calculating functions. Clearly, it's discriminatory, ethnically insensitive and possibly racist of Apple to exclude RPN (Reverse Polish Notation), right?

Are you trying to say Poles are backward?

Ssshhhh. I'm hunting wabbits!

Heck, back in the 50's I made Airfix models with three! different colors.

I will add my thanks. Seeing how each turn played out, after reading the rationale for each move has been very instructive.
-
I will add my thanks to the rest.Being able to read your planning and commentary have made this a very instructive thread.

Amazing: after 15 years I still can't tell if the Peng thread is populated by infants or those suffering from dementia.

What's the name of that (bestseller?) book on punctuation? "Panda eats, shoots & leaves".
Let's eat, Grandpa

Weirdly I read that several times as "avenge the Rhondda" and wondered where exactly the Welsh fitted in to CMRT...
Did someone call?

Seriously, what do you do when you have to pee right in the middle of a battle?
You *always* have to pee in the middle of a battle!
-
Should the number of mines that you can purchase be affected by the type of battle or scenario? Units that are in well-prepared defenses might have had time to lay extensive minefields, while others might have had no time for more than a couple of quick AT mines on the main road.

I suffer from CDO. Well it's really OCD but I like the letters arranged alphabetically: as they should be!

Apologies.. I intended to get another turn report up this morning, but my computer was acting up (Windows update screwed something up and I didn't have time to dissect it), I won't be able to get to it until tonight I'm afraid.

What! Noooooooo…. I have to spend the *entire* day actually working?

How about they just delay mailing your copy?

Get your priorities right. Delay the walk.

"Splitting was, by technical definition, a tricky thing for the Soviets to pull off in real life. They centered their doctrine on concentration and simplicity, which in a way was the opposite of Western doctrine."
Would one of the knowledgable forum members comment on the fractal nature of military doctrine? Do most nations tend to use the same overall approach at every level, or there no general pattern?

Does that make Charles Cliff?
My all-time favorite Clavinism is
Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

This has been requested of CM since 1999. It will never, ever, ever be a feature in the game. Ever. Players have too much precise information at their fingertips without working hard for it. If one wants absolutely ridiculously precise and exact information then we want them to work so hard at it that they get annoyed and stop. CM never has been, and never will be, a game tailored to those who feel that level of detail is required to play.

P.S. Never, ever. Just in case you missed the first part
So, soon then?

Maybe they don't want to become the target for snipers!
