Although I'm against this war, I also hope they all come back safe. Best of Luck!

The Thin Red Line was crap, it was a mangled effort at best, a botched attempt, lacking in smooth continuity, pointless battle scenes, questionable directing.<br ...

I've encountered the same problem as ursus. There also seems to be some bugs in lost victories.

I heard that there was no blood and guts in this game. If so, I'm not sure I will purchase it. I like my 1st person shooters one way..."bloody!"

<t>Could someone tell me if I have the distinction between Regiments and Brigades? Its my understanding that a Brigade is essentialy a regiment. However, the battalions within the brigade come out of various regiments. <br/>
Thus, for example, an British Brigade in WWII would be made up of various ...

Thanks WB!! I just e-mailed you my e-mail. I appreciate the help.

I reinstalled and upgraded to 5.03. Bug is still their. In Brave men of Betio in only seems to appear on the troops in the landing craft in the lower left. It does not appear with all .30 Mg's. Maybe I should delete and purge the files and reinstall again? I

<t>Do you have any idea as to why I'm seeing it?<br/>
It does not appear to be a problem in all of the Scenarios. If anything it is rare. I did not notice it in 5.02, of course I'm not sure I played these scenarios when I upgraded to 5.03. Help!!!<br/>
<br/>
PS. I like the changes in 5.03. I think ...

In Brave men of Betio, .30 cal MMg's are replaced by M3 halftracks on screen. These are also seen in Marine Ordeal.

In Dicker Max. There is what appears to be an M3 halftrack with the German Army armed with .45's.

?????????????

I've noticed anther bug. In Brave men of Betio, the Marine .30 mmg's are now represented by M3 halftracks.

I've also noticed this in Marine Ordeal

There is a wierd vehicle in DickerMax.

Is there something wrong or am I hallucinating?

<t>The problem that I have is that MG's, while more effective than rifles, still aren't as effective as I believe they should be. In WWII, MG's greatly outperformed ordinary riflemen in causing casualties. I havn't noticed any increase in the effectiveness in MG's. Even with the changes in 5.02 ...

I'm glad for the change in headgear. I think the baseball caps look stupid.

What I would really like to see is to have the US military dress like Zouves. Then they would really look cool.

<t>I thought it was an extremely boring film. I almost walked out before it ended. Thank god I only paid five bucks to see it! If I had paid eight, I would really have been mad.<br/>
I didn't care about the characters or the story. <br/>
The only good thing about it was the opening scenes were the ...

I am 29 years old. I began playing these type of games starting with squad leader when I was 12.

<t><br/>
Not only did I encounter the super-Mega paratroop squads, I had 4 Soviet Cargo Aircraft remaining on the board throughout the entire scenario. They would move 4 hexes every turn. They eventually, much later in the scenario, decide to conduct a paradrop in the town.<br/>
<br/>
Luckily, I was ...

<t>"Very true. White phosphorus, or "Willy Pete", is a chemical substance that reacts when exposed to air. It is fatal in doses as <br/>
Usually stored under water; submersion of an injured person is the recommended method of halting further injury."<br/>

I may be mistaken but it is my ...

I don't know if this issue has been discussed before, but here goes.
The U.S. Army used sizeable quanties of White Phosphorous not only for smoke screens but for its disruptive and anti-personale effects on enemy soldiers. Is there a chance that this could be modelled in the game?

I like both counting the little heads and the numbers.

Look, I know I'm being very anal about this. I'm a very anal person. Nevertheless, for my own peace of mind, are others experiencing the same "problem" when you have either small squads or crews on the screen.

<t>This happens even with my own crewmen. I tried your suggestion in "Brave men of Betio". I had my two crewmen bail out of an Alligator by pressing the "9" button. Immediately a four man icon appears even with the limited intelligence off. This would be OK except that an Alligator only has a two ...
