Somebody needs to go post on the anti-thread, my name is showing up as the last post

You made your bed there, now you'll have to lie in it...

I was hoping you wouldn't notice that part.

Ah, you poor benighted soul... you KNOW what this means, don't you?

Back from the commute... fortunately the left hand started behaving before i started driving... i hate when it starts making gestures to the passing motorists...

I just tallied the number and size of the files in my WitP mod. ONE sodding scenario, two modified planeside files, two pairs of modified planetop files, and about 20 or so custom ship sides with shills. It came to nearly 30Mb! Yikes, yikes and yikes again...

Enjoy dinner.

By the way, thought you all should know, since I joined the THREAD late, somewhere around page 330 or so, I have gone back to read the earlier pages. I am now up to page 37 and you guys were talking about Bored of the Rings and such things with a little Monty Python thrown in. "Bring in the Comfy Chair". This flashback brought to you by Bruce.

PS I promised T I would never post the picture of a certain dog ever again. This promise I will keep.

T or his bot. The thread is heavily populated by Europeans and Aussies. Evenings are slow. I'm out now to play Witp! Priorities, ya know!

Evenings are the time I can post (with a break for the fitness center). I need to restart my game against the AI to take advantage of lessons learned from everone here. I just hate the thought of that first turn. Even as the allies it took me 4 to 5 hours to get it input.

After another day or so, the 2 units end up going NE to Sian instead of SW. Next turn - they are attacked and surrender...

But see, you had them ordered to move to a distant location, so the pooter figgers that they need to get on a road in order to make the trip as short as possible in elapsed time (it says correctly that their eventual destination is to the southwest, but you know how many odd directions the "AI" can move units in while they are wandering toward where they are going). They will not enter the non-road, non-trail hexes immediately to the southwest when a legal move onto a road is available to the northeast from which they can boogie faster.

I always micromanage ground unit movement hex by hex for this very reason. Trusting the AI is always a - dare I say it - Chinese fire drill...
