Welcome North_Wolf. You already sound like a veteran. Many hours of good times ahead for you!

Re: Newbie HITS advice.

<t>I really like Pipe Creek for HITS. Those rolling hills allow the enemy to hide and spring some traps on you, but you also have the advantage of being able to get your commander to a good vantage point to scout the terrain. There are lots of great maps available. It's a great time to be a new play...

Re: Prairie Grove - Released

<t>I'm one happy Arkansas boy today! John, if you're able to check up on us every once in a while, and I believe you can, thank you so much! This is a beautiful map.<br/> <br/> As far as whether it's an installer or a zip, both are fine. I'm used to installing zips, but I know some people aren't fam...

Re: Poll: 32 Bit vs 64 Bit SOW, the next generation engines

<r>Here is some more info, D. I had it working with my old XP box, but the enabling procedure is different in Vista. I've heard it can break some drivers, but as I recall I didn't have any problems. Anyway, I don't need to do it since I'm on Win7 x64.<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.bleepingcomputer...

Re: Poll: 32 Bit vs 64 Bit SOW, the next generation engines

<t>I agree 100% Jolly. I'm thinking about a CPU upgrade, too, but I can't really justify it when the other one (Athlon II x4 2.9 ghz) is still working. My framerate slows to a crawl (around 4 fps) during the movement phase in larger battles, but I like to keep my settings on "best" if I can. It does...

Re: Poll: 32 Bit vs 64 Bit SOW, the next generation engines

<t>When I saw this poll the other day, I was tempted to vote for x64 right then and there, but I realized I was just voting for my own personal needs, and not taking other players into consideration. One of the things I think Norb is a master of is the balancing act that has to be done with this gam...

Re: Reply Spell Check

<r>Chrome has it's own built-in Flash player, so if you decide to stick with it for a while and not use FF or IE (ugh!), I'd go to Programs and Features, and remove the Flash players found there before running a scan. I use Malwarebytes Free and Super AntiSpyware Free, and be sure and update them be...

Re: Reply Spell Check

<r>I switched to Chrome from Firefox about a year ago. Maybe I just had my Firefox loaded down with add ons, but Chrome seems to be a bit faster. One difference I did notice and appreciate is Chrome seems to render text better. It could just be me, but it seems less blurry in Chrome than in FF. Mayb...

Re: Ideas for next Release

<t>I'll cast my vote for the Valley Campaign, as well, but I'm a bit biased, since I lived in the Valley for a time. As Saddletank says, terrain accuracy would have to be sacrificed for somewhat generic maps. It would be a monumental task to get accurate maps for the whole Valley. I'm sure this will...

Re: Great Computer Deal - So Far

<r>By the time I got my computer together a couple of years ago, I spent over $500 for a lot less than what RebBugler got. Goes to show how technology advances. Wish I was in the market now, but since my wife recently got a new laptop, our computer purchases are over for the moment.<br/> <br/> I was...
