<t>No, the game just runs on the primary monitor. Some games have a hard time with the dual monitor system - they screw up the secondary (or even fail to come up at all) when they run, but AA is fine <br/>
<br/>
BTW, I have run the scenario maker on the secondary monitor (while working on the map ...

<t>I personally run at the highest resolution that the monitor reasonably supports: at least 1280x1024.<br/>
<br/>
Notwithstanding my post in the other thread, I am frankly flabergasted that anyone still runs at 800x600, though I see people set up that way at the office all the time. I often think ...

<r>Matrix did a poll on their main website a while back. Turns out about 14% still use 800x600, though 1024x768 is the most popular resolution. But 800x600 is almost as popular as 1280x1024...<br/>

<t>Actually, by BG I meant "Battle Group" which is a battalion sized combined arms organization. In Canadian doctrine the assigment of Close Support Arty personnel is as follows:<br/>

Forward Observation Officer - Combat Team (Company)<br/>
Battery Commander - Battle Group (Battalion)<br ...

<r>Thanks for you comments. Much appreciated<br/>

<r>Here's a few shots of the new map that Marshall mentioned. Please note that it's still a early draft and we have not chased down all the errata yet so please hold off on pointing out any inconsistencies or specific cartographic errors just yet.<br/>

Basically the last version seemed to be ...

<r>I have, indeed been working on the next map - #4 - "Three Sisters" set in the Fulda Gap area. The map is about half done. I'll try to post some shots once the first draft is done. Due to RL commitments, that probably won't be for another week or so. <br/>

Each map takes between two and ...

<r>Here are some shots that illustrate the LOS Checking on the Northern Germany (#2) map. The shots are all taken in the SW corner of the map near the site of the "death of Charlie" described above<br/>

While Charlie was sorting that out, the old man was putting on a fire plan to help extract them. We had a M109 Battalion in direct support. They were ordered to fire two battery targets of HE directly to Charlie's front and a battery smoke screen laid on top.<br/>

Despite the ...

<t>Game "pieces" come in platoon and company size. The standard is company size for maneuver units and platoon for specialist units.<br/>

Formations which can be represented will typically be battalions up to reinforced brigade groups.<br/>

Jeez, I must be losing my touch! :rolleyes:

Is anybody out there!

Hey, is this thing on!

Somebody turn up the house lights, I think they've all gone to sleep... :p

Robert already has a mode that does that. I assume that something like it will sppear in the final version.

<r>Hi Guys,<br/>
<br/>
I had been working on testing the second map in the game, just kind of playing around with different scenarios. I ended up having so much fun with this one that I just had to share it. <br/>

A couple of years ago I put together this page about making close combat maps - much of it is still applicable - although I've ...

<t>FWIW, that pretty much falls into the doctrine that we were taught as FOOs' and BC's. Fast air was never expected except as part of fire plan. FOO's at the combat team level would probably not have access to it. <br/>

For reference, a typical FOO fire plan (for a combat team) is planned ...

<r>Robert, Robert, Robert, I am stunned by your lack of faith <E>;)</E>. Of course I have versions of the maps with grid lines on them (made 'em up as soon as I read your post, in fact).<br/>
