  1. I got to this party late but read the whole thing over the past three evening and must admit I am sorry to see it come to an end 

    and especially this kind as I always am for the underdog and In opinion we ( Americans ) were the underdog back then.  

    Anyway I really enjoyed it and yeah thanks for that bold decision to use a offensive defense.  I also assume you choose that partly for 

    our enjoyment so yeah thanks.  It worked!  

  2. Well thanks for checking mjkerner.  Had I known you'd be looking in those two places I would have done it myself.  Didn't mean to put you out but thank you for looking.  I thought there might be other sites 

    or places that were unfamiliar to me.  Too bad as I would sure like to see what all it would add to a uniform.  I'm always kinda envious of the other nationalities unforms.  The U.S. did have plain looking ones

    but I realize they probably weren't too worried about looks.  :-))

  3. Thanks all for the replies.  Didn't know about the 30 yard thing but good to know and also the light target order.  I wasn't going to ask these questions but thought what the hey so did and glad I did.  Thanks

     

    RockinHarry you mentioned supply dumps.  I've never seen anything in regards to that but will try to find it in the manual.  Thanks for mentioning it.  

     

    Anyway, I can see why BF didn't or probably wouldn't bother with these little actions but would have been neat.  Oh well.   :(

  4. I was playing a scenario earlier today and ran across a situation that a good old fashion bayonet charge would have really been in order.  :-))  

     

    Just wondered if anybody else thinks this would be neat?

     

    And since you asked I also thought that being able to instruct your troops when to throw grenades or when exactly to use a bazooka rather than their rifles would sure be neat and or helpful.  Had that situation numerous times in my playings also. 

     

    Anyway thought I'd see if these subjects were ever brought up.  

     

    Thanks

     

     

  5. Would it be possible to mod stripes onto uniforms or is that not possible.  If so would it be really involved or could somebody that's not a modder do it with a little instructions?  

     

    The reason I ask is I have a 24" monitor so can see details pretty good and I for whatever reason enjoy decking my 

    vehicles and troopers out with little fine details like that and think adding stripes or insignia's would be kinda cool.

     

    Anybody happen to know if even possible?  

     

    Thanks

  6. Womble I see what you mean.  I really hadn't thought along those lines.  I always just assumed at least in my playing scenario's etc that I either whipped them or not but what you are commenting on really changes

    my thoughts on playing or how I will in the future look at it.  Good points and or advice.  Gosh my old way ( now after your very well explained comments above ) seems so - mindless or simple.   :(  Really appreciate you 

    getting that across to me and taking the time to do it.  Greatly helps me understand a lot and will make my future playing or scenario designing much more interesting if not tons more complicated, but thanks.  :)

     

    Darn Sublime.  I'm kinda embarrassed admitting this but I didn't know all that.  Extremely interesting though now that I understand the differences.  How cool!  I just never took the time to read up on the differences but

    that really gives me some ideas for future games.  Never really gave a thought to meeting, attack or probe etc.  And all I really had hoped for was the ratio when I started this post.   :) Thank you much! 

  7. Thanks sburke.  That certainly sounds interesting to say the least so I will be playing with it but probably not for awhile as I'm really still learning all the other stuff.  I can see where that would really make the scenario a lot 

    more interesting and unpredictable for both the player and designer.  That Battlefront guys think of everything.  Thanks for the info.

     

    Some good ideas liveNoMore.  I like the idea of determining balance in a short amount of time.  Hadn't thought of that.  Also thanks for mentioning what Combatintman said.  I shall try that.  

     

    Womble I like the idea of viewing the after action results.  I hope I would have thought to do it but glad you mentioned it.  I can understand where that would be of great help.  I appreciate it.   

    what you are saying.  Thanks

     

    Thanks for the info sublime.  Adds some info to my knowledge.  I'm really not familiar with anything except attack believe it or not.  That's all I've ever played.  Really!  So you info helps me see the difference.  I guess I'll 

    now have to check into the others for a better understanding of the differences.  Appreciate you mentioning the ratio's.  Even if not 100% accurate I see your point.  

     

    I was thinking the other night before going to sleep that BF is pretty smart.  They aren't producing the game to play but to get people hooked on the editor.  Pretty smooth of them.   :P

  8. Thank you gentlemen.  Lots more info than I had even hoped to get and very appreciative for you time and replies.  

     

    This has opened up a whole new world for me and I don't see an end to it which is fine with me btw.   I can see how detailed this could get and I am pretty excited about it.  Really makes me understand and appreciate how much is put into

    the making of a scenario.   

     

    sburke I have seen that choice/ feature but have not really played around with it yet.  Is there a reason you asked about that particular feature?  I'd be interested in any comments about it you might like to make.  

     

    Thanks Combatintman for those sites I will surely check them out.  Great to have!

     

    Womble I appreciate all that advice.  Some good points I haven't really thought about - until now.  I especially like the idea about making a scenario where one would have to really work at overcoming the defender.  Thanks for 

    planting that idea.  I suppose it'll take some testing to get the correct ratio down.  

     

    In the foreseeable future I doubt anybody will ever see a scenario that I made except me but hey if I ever do one that is 100% correct and seems worth it you just might.   :) 

     

    Thanks again guys.  I really do appreciate it! 

  9. I just learned how to make a scenario and was wondering what was considered to be a fair ratio between the forces.  Maybe there isn't one as I know a lot would depend on the overall circumstances 

    but if you had to voice an opinion what would you think fair.  

     

    In a quick battle they make it easy by having points to spend but there is no such valve in scenario's so kinda wondering.  

     

    Thanks
