Missiles have a short burn, some exhaust their motor in the launch tube and coast the whole way. Others are ejected, then boost and coast. TOW is ejected, motor ignites at 7-8m, burns only for ...

I seem to recall this was at one point a triangular distribution (from 100% at 85% coverage, to 20% at 0% coverage)

Is this not still the case, or have I miss-remembered?

RE: New Update v4.6.269 now Available

<r> FWIW, if a unit needs supply and cannot draw from a Regt base it will under some circumstances draw direct from division (etc), even when Regt is still extant. I can't quantify the circumstances, just report that I have observed it. I am unsure if the state could revert if the Regt base recovers ...

This works in the release version for me. We never did get the debug version working though - and that was the same symptom.

Yet, one of the Bn Attacks is still facing SW. Are you certain this difference wasn't present prior to save/restore?

RE: 3 in 1 bug

Hmm. The FBB HQ seems to have the wrong "displayed" size. Not sure if that is purely a counter issue... currently showing as an Bn formation (with two visible Bn subordinates), should be a Regt(+) sized Brigade Formation, as with 200 Bde.

<r> This is disbandment, rather than surrender. The personnel are being incorporated into other formations. I agree that it seems overegged at the moment, but it is important to distinguish between lost units/Personnel (surrenders) and lost units <I><s>[i]</s>due to Personnel re-assignment<e>[/i]</e ...

RE: Who started World War I?

Germany had previously promised Russia a free hand against them (lapsed by 1914, but nevertheless a historical posture, that may be permitted still).

We did nothing to dissuade France or Russia from aggressive posturing (and eventual mobilisation), while simultaneously faffing with the Germans, giving an ...

The Ballad of Little Jo. The tale of a frontiersman near a mining community and his life in a wilderness area. True(ish) story, and interesting characters for a Western.
