Guest aaronb Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Sample conversation: "Don't shoot!" "Hands up! Name?" "Ed Gruberman" "Rank?" "Sargeant" "How many of our men has your squad killed?" "34, and one StuG with a rifle grenade. Oh, and we wiped-out an AT bunker with one of these satchel charges.". "Filthy American!" Sound of gunfire. When you look at a captured unit, FOW is off, so you find out if they're Veterans, etc. You also get to see the kill stats. This causes me to pause each time (a minor break in immersion). I'd rather not see them until the end of the game. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Play with fog of war ON. Frankly, I'm amazed it's even optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I haven't tried this, so I might not have what aaronb is saying correct. ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that the sky might fall on their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank-you for reading the post. You can duplicate this quickly in a hostseat game against yourself, just surround an isolated team, let it shoot a few of your guys, and move in for the capture.

Fred Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Just DON'T READ IT! Oh boy... Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 You did say "FOW is off." Just shows the importance of punctuation. But I have to agree with Fred anyway. If you don't want the info, why look in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aaronb Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 I don't look at it deliberately, just occasionally when clicking through a bunch of units. I can take in an entire page of text almost instantly, so the kill stats end up in my brain, like it or not, when I goof and click on a captured unit. It's not a big deal, and the question posed in the subject line looks to be answered. Thanks for yelling, Fred. Although I am now searching for an on-line hearing-aid vendor, it's good to know that under no circumstances could I misunderstand what you were saying. F. Babra: you're right. The extra comma fuzzed my meaning. Maybe I need more context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
