Windowed Mode Strangeness

<t> Hi All, I'm running on Win10, hadn't updated to the new patch was using the old one and had not really played the game since buying in Jan. Wanted to switch to windowed mode so I could read the manual and learn to play.<br/>
<br/>
So when I did, I would be in the game and switch to the pdf ...

RE: Of Matters of Chem Warfare

Thanks for that, interesting stuff about the Germans.

Do we have any idea what the smoke unit characteristic does?

Bob, do you have info on what it does combat wise?

RE: Of Matters of Chem Warfare

So, its just ordinary artillery than. There is no chemical component because the chem is dealt with in the editor. Why is it in the game for? I can't see what you would use it for???

Of Matters of Chem Warfare

<t> So I gather that the Chemical Artillery icon is just eye candy? Does it do anything? I'm assuming not because when you go into the equipment editor there is no equipment characteristic that is chemical.<br/>
<br/>
However does anyone know what the smoke characteristic does other than the ...

RE: Of Matters of Shock

Thanks guys, thats what I thought.

I noticed something a bit strange during a test run; it only happened once.

I don't believe its correct either.

Of Matters of Shock

Does shock have to be reset in the editor?

Which one is correct?

A. Shock automatically resets to 100 once the event concludes its turn range?
B. Another event is required to reset shock to 100?

Thanks all in advance

<t> No thats not entirely clear. The first time Tamas comes up is when Bob mentions Tamas. Lobster than refers to Tamas in 63 where he states that "Tamas had said it would be okay. Tamas approached Ralph about it and Ralph said it would be okay." <br/>
<br/>
Than he basically repeats that again in ...

RE: So, when is the new patch coming out?

The thrust of the posts I referred to seem to be talking about the existing development with Matrix/TOAW. I didn't take from that a new project except for maybe the last one, 93. I agree that all is not well with the TOAW development. No one seems to be happy about the complexities.

I was just reading through posts 88, 92, 93 and 94. Surely you guys are jesting? I mean you know, jerking the chain, taking the pi$$, having a lend etc. Its meant to be funny isn't it?

RE: So, when is the new patch coming out?

Thats a good description of an aspiration, but that is not what I had in mind in terms of particularising the details of the claim that Matrix have agreed to allow volunteers to participate. I think only Lobster is in that position to answer that question.

<t> To characterise this discussion as constructive criticism is stretching that idea to its breaking point. Its really just now a series of competing factual disputes.<br/>
