Chris,
ORIGINAL: christof139
You know Eric, I put up with this guy telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about, then you pop in in, not reading the whole thread that the self-righteous jerk that you are, so let me ask you the same thing: Are you off your noodle??

I read the whole thread and I agreed with you, but this apparently went over your head. I disagreed with your way of presenting your information, which as usual was more argumentative than necessary.
Lensman's knowledge only concerns TODAY and the UPPER MISS> RIVER IN IOWA and NOT THE MID AND LOWER MISS. RIVER of ACW TIMES. Plus, I gave some faactual scientific info. and further Geologic info., but neither of you two clowns being a Geologist you wouldn't have the faintest idea of what is going on with the Miss. River.

Except that I agreed with you on the facts, but again you somehow missed that part.
You do this all the time and are a complete yo-yo.
And go take a hike, a long one. Because as another person said somewhere, this if 'The Forge of Frustration'.
I wouldn't submit any modifications I do to your screwy Guns.txt file for your persual because you don't know your buttocks from a whole in the ground concerning the subject to begin with. You try and twist things like the used car salesman you must be. Good riddance, this is a complete waste of time, Chris

And here's where you prove my point, again and again and again.

Do what you want, but at this point I have to give you a formal warning. Keep this up and you'll join the handful of people that have ever been banned from these forums. If you don't understand how to disagree without insulting people, then you really have no place here.

Regards,

- Erik

Although 90-plus percent of Christof's post are informative and substantive and make a real contribution, he has a tendency, which he not only cannot control but refuses to recognize, to insult others. When someone points this out to him, he often insults them, no matter how courteous and reasonable their tone.

I for one would not mind seeing him banned from this forum. I can find informative and substantive information in lots of other places where I don't have to watch people being insulted and being drawn into flame wars.

I was always rather fond of a cheese sandwich

With a slap of chutney..wonderfull

Hovering my finger over the "buy" button at the moment, and a small but important question for me. Looking at the screen shots I can't see an example of the "classic" counter style. Is there an option to switch to a counter style graphic representation for the units?

Do you mean in detailed battles, switching from the chit symbol-like counters to counters that show men marching and shooting? If so, the answer is yes, though you want to have a decent amount of RAM for that.

<grin>..Better clarify, eh ?

In the five screen shots which show hex representation, all the shots show "men" and not the chit symbol type counters within the hex. Is there an graphic option for these "men" to be replaced with chit symbols?

Yes, the men icons in detailed combat can be replaced with NATO symbols during game play by pressing the '+' key. I don't have a screenshot of this handy, but maybe if someone else does he could post it.

Cheers. Your word is good enough :)

Just have never been able to like the toy soldier represenation graphics in these style games. I seem to grasp the situation much more easily with NATO chit symbols.
