<t>Hi,<br/>
I'm from Washington DC, USA - which probably explains why I'm way too darn touchy for my own good, lol.<br/>
<br/>
Matrix has brought us a great game, I purchased Desert Fox and once my finances straighten out intend to purchase the other Mega Campaigns.<br/>
<br/>
Though I've said quite ...

<t>I agree with David. I was a bit too touchy earlier in regards to comments and said some things in the heat of the moment that I apologize for. Paul is a very busy person with a ton of things on his plate - I misunderstood what certain of the constraints he gave actually meant and therefore I ...

<B><s>[b]</s>As I'm not aware of all that went on, am playing catch up. What exactly was it you put in that isn't going to make it, Brian? I know how it is, since I worked on these originally over 2 years ago, and am aware of the "oob blues ...

<t>Well since why has come into it, though I was trying to avoid the issue, I'll give the reason why I resigned. <br/>
<br/>
It was not because of the issue of cost changes though Paul refused to allow almost all - neglecting the fact that fine tuning is required.<br/>
<br/>
It was not over the ...

<t>so it doesn't feel quite so bad this time around.<br/>

It seems all my OOB modifications will, for various reasons, not be making their appearance any time soon. All praise, or blame, for anything in the v7.1 OOBs rests elsewhere, my shoulders are free of all but the mortar modifications ...

<t>Probably the biggest reason I can think of for doing custom OOBs is that there are so many constraints in place on the official ones that given the limitations of the OOB file format, if you want to model some engagement that can't be represented well enough using the stock ones, you have very ...

<t>Having a few moments between waiting for test results and emails on various OOB errata and issues, I'll clarify what happened:<br/>
<br/>
I, as creator of the threads in question, deleted them after they had served their purpose and begun degenerating into flamewars. Being under a deadline and ...

In order to avoid increasing the noise here, I'm going to post notifications of OOBs under current review on the TOE/OOB/Equipment forum. Please check there if you are interested in helping out.

Thanks,
Brian

<t>Sometime tomorrow the v7.1 OOBs will reach my desk. At that point I will be addressing any known errors that can be corrected in the time allowed. The wilder ideas I've had and many of the issues that I've checked into will not be addressed in v7.1 due to the need to take a conservative route ...

<t>The more I play online or pbem games the less inviting I find random battles/campaigns against the AI to be. Still useful for trying out some things, but to make things at all comparable to human vs human requires a person to setup and deploy, set objectives, waypoints, etc for the AI.<br/>

<B><s>[b]</s>Hi!<br/>
<br/>
what is the difference betwen 6.1 OOBs vice version 7.0 or 7.1? I use 7.1. Mr webber said to me that some people may play better with 6.1 OOBs.<br/>
Can anyone explain?<br/>

Note that the Asterix and Hash feature is considered too much information by some players (how do you know you are spotted until they open fire?). This feature may be turned off also via the undocumented Shift-*.<br/>

Understand, was wondering whether it worked correctly in v7.0 or v6.1 ...

Please include SP:WAW version number (for both mech.exe and OOBs if different) as well as nation and year/type of ski troop unit in test/incident results so I can try to make absolutely positive that there isn't something fishy in the OOBs.

Thanks,
Brian

<t>There is a difference, imo, between using scout vehicles to draw fire and using trucks to draw fire. Of course it depends on national doctrine and whether or not one is attempting to play in a more or less historical fashion. One might argue that in the case of scout vehicles, they are just doing ...

I tested Finnish Skiers 1939 and they are armed with molotovs - work fine.

I'll look at a couple of other ski formations.

What version mech.exe are you using?

<t>Come on people, please help out here if you can. Paul has begun issuing the release candidate OOBs to the 7.1 beta team for review and minor modification under my leadership. We have the capability/authority to make error corrections to the 7.1 OOBs prior to their release *but* WE NEED YOUR HELP ...
