RE: A patch question and a small bug report

<t> Hmmm,<br/>
<br/>
Ok, this was a "Armoured Breakthrough" type battle, so then wouldn't the software have to eliminate the infantry (non-armour) ones some how? What was funny was that the scenario file (SCN?) did not have anything that looked like a key to tell it to make that selection.<br ...

RE: Idea for New version of CS

ORIGINAL: 1925frank

The part I haven't figured out yet is how to get the game to answer the front door.  

You need the right USB connection for that.

I guess what I'd like to try, as a mod, is something that would allow a player to use the Battle Generator to create a basic scenario and then easily modify the result on a basic level (ie, just change the ...

<t> "Guns of the South", I think you're talking about. Great read,<br/>

One of the problems you might have in making a set of scenarios based on Turtledove's version of WWII ("Settleing Accounts") would be figuring out which armour to give to which side. It's hard to decipher from his ...

What the status of the 1.03 patch? Any estimated release date yet?<br/>

Now the bug:<br/>

RE: MCS User WISHLIST

Here's one for all games:

Hotkeys for Save Action Point for Firing and Save Action points for Loading/Unloading.

And I'll second the suggestion on the Engineer's; let's give them ability to lay a minefield or two.

The speed thing would be a help. Both PC's are running AMD 3700+ chips so they are quite fast. Some sort of slider/mid setting would be nice. Patch 1.04, perhaps? [:D]<br/>

Hot Keys and "fast" movement

<t> Does anybody know of a printable list of the Hot Keys for JTCS? IIRC the original game (Talonsoft's) had a "cheat" card that was mighty handy. Anything like that available?<br/>

I finally got my copies of JTCS this weekend and loaded it onto my PC's. No problems, except for the movement ...
