Formerly Babra Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 Too Much Info. It was just brought to my attention that when I select any given unit of my opponent's forces I should not be able to see his plotted ambushes. One of my current opponents was quite surprised to uncover one of my ambushes this way. I've seen it so often, I thought it was intentional. Apparently, or so they tell me, it's not. Also, in another pbem, an enemy Tiger is hidden in some scattered trees. As my forces approach for the kill, a "sound contact" let's me know to what direction he shifted his turret. When the turret stops swinging, the sound contact disappears. That to me seems like WAY too much info. If I can't see it, there's no way I should know which way his turret is facing. Sorry, Mace -- Prepare to be Cromwelled up the bum ------------------ Years have passed and I keep thinking what a fool I've been; I look back into the past and think of way back then; I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win; I guess I should have listened to my friends All the burning bridges that have fallen after me; All the lonely feelings and the burning memories; Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door; Burning bridges lost forever more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splinty Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 The traverse mechanisms of the time were quite noisy and an undergreased turret ring makes one hell of a squeal. ------------------ Nicht Schiessen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple onyamate should be sufficient for you, but no you have to trumpet your infintessimally miniscule acheivement big noting yourself like you're the ant's pants. You are lower than a snakes armpit. [This message has been edited by Simon Fox (edited 12-11-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
