<t> Chelco, I just might take a stab at a few maps and see how much work each is.<br/>
<br/>
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good (but free!) resource for learning how to create a GE overlay? Sure, I could open the application and open the help file, but why take such a direct approach??<br ...

<t> MarkShot, I hope your fifth example (placing units just so, then returning them to their organic command) isn't gamey, because that is a practice I follow in probably every CotA scenario I play. I find I most often do this at the beginning of scenarios, or in defending sectors that aren't yet ...

<r> I enjoyed Rooster's Google Earth walk through some time ago while eagerly awaiting CotA's release. I was wondering if Rooster or anyone else had ever created maps that outline the areas covered by the CotA maps? I'm no expert at reading topographic maps, so Google Earth is a nice resource (once ...

<r> Thanks Pergite! I did a Google image search and didn't come up with much. Here's the best of the lot:<br/>

<t> I played (and really enjoyed) the Tempe Gorge Scenario yesterday as the Allies. My guys successfully blew both the road and rail bridges. However, there are numerous ferries on either side of the two bridges. As anyone who has played the scenario as the Allies know, the Germans were slowed, but ...

<t> I apologize for not getting the screen captures to show the situation, but in a couple of cases today the program froze. In both cases the freeze was at the very end of the scenario. In this last case, in the Tempe Gorge Crisis scenario, it was definitely after I had begun exiting units off the ...

Thanks! If that had been in HttR, I guess I had forgotten. The shortcut should help delay the onset of my pending carpal tunnel. [:'(]

<t> CotA community,<br/>
<br/>
I bought CotA over the weekend and have been enjoying it since then. I had deja vu when I first double-clicked on a message at the top of the screen, assuming that it would select (and center the display on) the unit described by the message. Just like in HttR, that ...

<r> A random question while we wait for CotA...<br/>
<br/>
Has the RDOA/HTTR series influenced wargaming over the past few years? That is, have any other authors played HTTR then decided to incorporate one or more of its previously unique elements in their own games/series?<br/>
<br/>
I myself ...

Thanks, Dave! I just knew that there was something intelligible there, I just didn't know what! [:)]

<t> I was wondering what on Earth is said during the sound effect that follows the completion of air strikes? I hear explosion sounds, but I also hear what appears to be a voice. To me it sounds vaguely like Cliff Claven (sp?) from Cheers saying something like "It's the batter, it's the batter ...

You don't by chance sponsor any awards for HTTR players? If you do, I'd like to self-nominate in the category of "Best non-bridging use of bridging engineers." [;)]<br/>
<br/>
It's fun to gamble with electronic soldiers on both sides. If I were a real life ...

<r> Everything worked out perfectly. There were two German units who appeared to be guarding the bridge at Dinter, but they were far enough to the northwest of the bridge that my units were able to slip by unmolested - especially given the low light conditions and some arty that I called in to ...

<r> Even though I feel a bit guilty when I do so, I nevertheless enjoy exploiting bad decisions on the AI. Last night's action was a case in point. I'm sorry I didn't take some screen captures as I went, but I've included some blank maps with arrows.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, I've been playing the ...

I didn't see the show myself, but it was interesting reading about the man and some of his fellow soliders at the web site provided by bigbabyhead. Thanks for the link! [:)]

<t> Thanks for the info Dave. Now I'm thinking I should have examined the movement table in the manual before placing my foot firmly in my mouth. [:)]<br/>
<br/>
Regarding the efforts by 30 Corps at the end of Operation, it sounds like the Guards Armored Division used (or attempted to use) the ...

<r> Here's a question that asks which game reflects reality better - Close Combat or HTTR. In Close Combat II in the "Island" scenario, IIRC, you <I><s>[i]</s>could<e>[/i]</e></I> move your tracked vehicles off the road, but you risked a high probability of getting the vehicle mired in the polder or ...

<r> I have to share an immensely enjoyable experience related to artillery from my current game playing as the Allies against the AI in the historical Arnhem scenario. At least half-way through the ten days or so, I had already secured the highway and rail bridges at Arnhem, as well as the bridge to ...

<r> Here's a repeat of a second message that I posted yesteday that seems to have been lost...<br/>
<br/>
On the general topic of user created and/or modified scenarios and maps, I feel like I am either missing something, or there simply aren't any out there yet. I've looked through a couple of ...

<t> It looks like this forum may have experienced another hiccup, and a pair of messages that I wrote yesterday are gone. Anyway, here is a recap on my first message...<br/>
<br/>
Based upon what I've read above, it sounds like some enterprising HTTR fan could modify the Eindhoven scenario, for ...
