deanco Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 Sorry, Madmatt, I couldn't resist with the exclamation marks!! Oh no!! Help!! It's out of control!!!!!!!! Thanks, Spock, I needed that. OK, a lot of news, here we go. 1) I have moved back to the old URL again. Although I loved the statistics I got with Ifrance, I just can't bear that #!&@! banner at the bottom. So the address is once again http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ 2) I have released a 1.02 update for the GROG interface. I put the wrong HQ bonus icons (stealth, command, etc.) in the original release. They are supposed to blend into the background, now they do. There are tiny modifications to the special equipment icons as well. 6k. At my site. 3) Madmatt has kindly allowed me to become a proud member of the Combat Mission Webring. He is also going to link to my page from a couple areas on his site. Thanks Madmatt!! Oh no!!! It's baaaack!!!! 4) I guess the biggest news is that I'm adding a lot more content to my site. The new section will be for absolute beginners, people who (like me) thought wargames sucked until CM came along. People who have never played a wargame in their lives, but dig the depth of gameplay CM has. Already up is an "Introduction to CM", a "Brief History of Wargames" section, and a "Quick 'n Dirty Newbie Unit Guide" with only the most basic information about the units to help that newbie get the most out of CM right away. To come is the Tactics Guide, the Basic Principles of Warfare section, and a Tips and Tricks section (which will be culled from this very board). The concept is that if an absolute newbie should ask some newbie question here, ideally you would be able to direct him to my site where he could find a simple, quick answer, and maybe some other interesting stuff as well. (edited part) Oh yeah!! I forgot!! If anyone wants to write an article that could fit into one of the above categories, by all means, have at it. Mail it to me, and if it... ahem, meets my high standards, ahem I will find a place for it on my site. There is one more section I will put up, but mum's the word for now as it promises to be quite interesting indeed. OK folks, please. If you find something totally inaccurate on my site... it's normal, it's me who is running it. Please, do not flame me here. Mail me privately at: deanco@cybercable.fr and I will fix it. Thanks. Bye all!! DeanCo-- [This message has been edited by deanco (edited 10-17-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
