<t> oh god frag, this is silly. you are stating the price for renting a pipe for yourself, i am stating the price charged for downloading a GB of data from someone else's pipe. <br/>
<br/>
kindly stop revealing the utter nonsensical basis of my opinions. or at least read the post before you do ...

<t> also, i would not say "matrix will charge the maximum that the market will bear," but rather, "matrix will charge the amount that they believe will generate the greatest income"<br/>
<br/>
i say this because there isn't much of a "market" wherein the customer can pick and choose. their ...

<t> sure i can explain why.<br/>
<br/>
obviously, i don't have access to your contract with digital river. but bandwith can be purchased for about $1 per GB. (i know because i live and a developing country, and have to buy it). add unto that, say, a $1.50 transaction fee that digital river charges ...

<t> well, i am even starting to bore myself with this, but here is where he says its more expensive: "Everyone thinks digital downloads are cheaper . . . well they are not." So, I guess you could say he meant the price is the exact same, but I doubt anybody would believe this. The cost of shipping ...

no, that would cost you $30 more. Wait, I forgot, Matrix has posted that it is more expensive to sell it WITHOUT a box and a manual!

cmbb/ak is 2 games. if they sell cota/httr for $60 than it is the same pricing scale.

<t> This post concerns the proposed $60 COTA price. <br/>
<br/>
The standard Matrix explanation conists of: 1. a statement that wargaming is a niche market, and 2. a plea of poverty (we don't make any money, and if you guys don't pay through the nose, we aren't going to make any more games for you ...

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>but the 60$ is justified and is definetely not "charging the bejesus out of its customers" <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Combat Mission Afrika Korps -- $35<br/>
Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin -- $35<br/>
<br/>
are Matrix Games 45% superior to Battlefront ...

too expensive for me. i won't be buying it.

too bad, too, as HTTR is one of the best games I have ever played.

I guess you will find out if Matrix knows what it is doing charging the bejesus out of its customers.

arjuna posted that the existing friendly detection algorithim was pretty crude, and that the boys at panther were discussing the issue.

so my guess is, no, there probably isnt anything you can do.

how do i figure out what the native resolution of my LCD screen is?

he he. don't pile on[:)]

i really like the game, and i like knowing how things work in general.

for instance, i am also interested in how the effectiveness of fire is reduced over distance [:)]

<t> thanks arjuna. excellent answers. i will stop setting up in little scraps of villages so often.<br/>
<br/>
does anyone know the answer to this: using the line of sight tool, 25 percent of my unit's footprint can see 80 percent of the enemy unit's footprint. what effect? 25 percent firepower ...

<t> 1. if my unit's footprint spreads over, say, 3 types of terrain simultaneously, how are the terrain effects determined for combat and movement? for instance, the defend icon of my big fat division base is situated in the woods, but seventy percent of the footprint is in the polder. what effect ...

btw, really great game.

i've patched, and i have the same problem. my AA units are the first to lead, and the first to die.

<t> here's what i'd most like to see:<br/>
<br/>
1. more detailed representation of who is firing what at whom. graphically, i can imagine something like combat mission; the greater the volume of firepower, the more and/or brighter the lines. also, scalable volume of sounds: the greater the ...

got it.

thanks a lot!

it would be tres cool if i could get a copy:

any chance you are running it on a laptop?

if so, you can spread it across the entire screen by changing bios settings, but i dont think you will like the results.
