The basic problem with the tubular magazine is the balance of the rifle shifts with every shot. Which is not a big deal when the basic doctorine is attack with the bayonet.

RE: Question about French rifles of WW1

<t> Please forgive me if this gets to basic in spots.<br/>

The tube magazine is loaded by opening the bolt all the way to the rear. This causes a "door" to open exposing the magazine. The rounds can then be loaded much like a shotgun one at a time. Once the magazine is completely loaded, or ...

Also "Suddenly We Didn't Want To Die" is another excellent read. Now if only someone could get the rights and re-publish "So Far From God". Vanderbilt University has a copy in ...

<t> I am not a playtester. Please take this an a simi-educated guess from following development and the boards.<br/>

You have to collect "command points" to do things in the game. This represents the staff planning, amassing of material and men, and 10,000 other things that make up an ...

RE: Does this game have an AI?

Can the play testers comment on the AI? Is it good enough to entertain when you dont have a live opponent?

RE: British Intervention

<t> The first problem is what about the channel defense? The British and the French had an "understanding" that the British would secure the coast and the channel allowing the French to redeploy the fleet to the Med to face the Italians and the Astro-Hungarians. So any sort of sortie by the Grand ...

Everyone on strike?

I installed the latest patch and started the game. When I tried to play a game I found that I had no players, anywhere.

New system more than capable of running the game.

If you want something historical then you will be disapointed.&nbsp; If you want a chick flick that you can watch for the flying scenes, to CGI heavy, then its a movie for you.
