If you have "Fast Artillery" on (preferences screen) then there is no arty noises. Turn it off and you should be good to go.

I tend to avoid AC all together; since they are essentially 'airbore artillery" and have this nasty habit of veering off target for their own greater glory, why not just use the real deal? Offboard Artillery is the god of war, boys and girls <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Wild Bill you've campaigned long and hard and earned the right to set your sword down upon your shield and rest in this life. Off to Valhalla with you now.

<t>I think it's great to see another solid programming house come under Matrix's umbrella!! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br/>
But please...PLEASE...CHARGE US!! I want to pay my $ to you guys and gals for some quality products, not for T-shirts and coffee mugs (those I have in abundance and they ...

Thanks OdB <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

And yes, what I really meant by enemy was "loser" and friendly was "victor"...heh, just a little egotistical assumption on my part <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

<t>Ok, 2-part question here...<br/>
<br/>
All vehicles which have been abandoned are counted as destroyed at the end of the scenario. Is that all ENEMY vehicles which have been abandoned, or does that include friendlies (which presumably would be recovered/refurbished/repaired/etc.), too?<br/>

<t>SS cavalry was almost always used as rear-area security and counter-partisan ops. It was also mostly manned w foreign recruits/volunteers.<br/>
<br/>
The Italian Savoie Regiment or Brigade (can't recall exactly) conducted history's last major cavalry charge.<br/>
<br/>
As for how I use cav, it's ...

LOL, yes I can understand both your points... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

it all sounds great! can't wait to try MCLV out!

Since there has been minimal chiming-in, I'll chime in a second time <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I would like to see both OOBs included, or if that's not possible, then go with the v7 OOBs and simply advise of possible minor inconsistancies.

<t>Paul by all means take the time to do it right, I already consider my MCLV money to be well spent and well worth the wait <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br/>
<br/>
Also, any more word on whether MCLV will come with v7 OOBs? It would be nice to have the latest and greatest on the disc <img src ...

Federico, the faith is nowhere near lost! Just trying to help with a few ideas here and there <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

<r>A while ago I asked if maybe it wasn't time for the Matrix crew to move on from SPWAW and concentrate on CL/CA and other upcoming projects.<br/>
<br/>
I have since been assured that continuing support of SPWAW is not taking away from other efforts...and I've also heard that the SPWAW MCs are ...

OK, to the best of my ability, here we go...<br/>
<br/>
First, "Point Blank" means to be very close. Literally, it means the shortest possible distance, but tends to be used to mean "at very close range."<br/>
<br/>
"Point Blank Op Fire" is when an enemy unit moves into very close ...

<t>Have to agree fully, combined-arms is the way to go; in '43 or '44, the German general staff was trying to come up with ways to counter blitzkrieg tactics (which the Russians were by then performing so well against them) and combined-arms is what they came up with.<br/>
<br/>
Have inf advance to ...

<r>Paul, my chiming-in goes as follows:<br/>
<br/>
Include both OOBs; have the "original" one used with the making of MCLV be the default install and have v7 OOBs on disc to install at owner's discretion with a little warning message about possible incompatabilities w the MC.<br/>
<br/>
If that's ...

I've poked-around some old posting and have seen the question alluded to but never answered: I know MCLV will come with SPWAW v7.0; will it also come with the v7.0 OOBs? Please dear God say yes... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Thanks Paul, that was my whole point to begin with <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

<t>First off, I can't comment as to whether or not SPWAW is getting worse; I have been soldiering on with v4.4 for some time now (long story, don't ask) and am waiting for MCLV & v7.0 (& v7.0 OOBs) with bells on!<br/>
<br/>
My question/suggestion: why not make just the patch available as a download ...

The "Tigers" in Kelly's Heroes were dolled-up T-34s...didn't look half-bad I thought <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
