Status: offline 		I would guess there's a "feature freeze" on right now 'cause the next release is soon to come out, but... I was wondering if it would be possible to add a clock to SPWaW... maybe right above the little map in the lower right hand corner - that way we can keep track of time without having to look away from the screen :) -Andy

Status: offline 		Alby, I'm too lazy to buy a clock :) Hahahaha... then again, $10 would probably solve the problem...but I bent Paul's ear, so hopefully it'll make it on the feature list at some point! :) Andy

Since this is a windows program, what is wrong with alt-tab to jump out and then clicking on the taskbar button to get back in. You can check the taskbar clock while at the desktop. If I am running a long sim, I will let it run when I am not using the comp, and just alt-tab back out if I need the comp again. I have even go so far as to load a second SPWaW to get to the encyclopedia during a game. I can then alt-tab to read up on my target, if it isn't something I am used to fighting. thanks, John.

Status: offline 		The problem I have with Alt-Tab is that I lose the log below the action! Sometimes I can get away with it, but sooner or later I'll come back into the game and no log. I've taken to saving and quitting when I want to check something outside the game. The clock idea isn't that bad, but I don't know how they would account for all the different time zones.

Status: offline 		Don: I'm thinking you don't know this already, so please excuse the information if I'm incorrect here. The reason the log is lost is because of hitting the tab key when hitting alt-tab. Normally I wouldn't assume the tab function would both switch to another window/desktop and also do the tab function, but that sure appears to be what it is doing. When you get back to your program, just hit tab again and the log is back.

Oh thanks boys for a thousands of laughs !! But now ...Can you understand this ? I went to bed quite early that night turning off TV because : '''yawn...oh baby...I am so tired tonight - ;) ;) - ''' and with a whisper within a flattering smile : oh honey , will you...help me in resting my poor bones tonight ? 'next' to me ? ''' (You know..I did not used properly that same words... :D) (but I am sure you understood the concept)and I played...my first 'battle' and a second and a third and a...(Ok stop it now ruxius..just some good kisses...) The needed ones to 'defeat' the enemy... (hoping I implied correctly what I mean..) :-))))) and She went deeply sleeping... in the meanwhile I kept myself silently awake...the plan was not yet complete... after a while ;) in the darkness .., fighting the hostile force of gravity..and suspended in the air..I left off from bed... and YES : OberSturm Fuhrer Fritz Von Rusdze Here I am ! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! Ora si che finalmente SE FA PE' DAVERO! --------------------------------------- (To be in argument , usually I have a special clock.. : rolling shutter ..when it's up it's mister rising-Sun itself telling me it's time to turn off the PC because night is over...now I can go to bed...He never fails to do that job !) That night it was particularly hard to handle those damned endlessly T-34/85s and I didn't hear what was approaching to my seat... A face in the darkness looking at me... with mouth opened.... -"eh ? Are you still playing Stul..-Stal-Pin-(sh*t) Panders again ?? ah-ha ! but weren't you so 'tired' tonight ?? " -"uh ? I ? oh ehm..well..I er...er..." -"but please tell me : 30 years old For what ???" and she going back to bed ...hopeless... (glomm) ...I tried to argue something while my eyes devastated from screen and strain were focusing that face ! I decided I hate the soviets ! :D :D and also that Next time I have to be more cautios ! But I like you guys !! ...your attitude to Command is within your veins..despite real life ! Like me ! It's very interesting trying to feel this passion from your girlfriend's perspective.. "War ? But go to work and marry me !!!!And Hurry up BOY !"" It's a battle lost before it starts !...I know...
