  2. Is there a specific reason why you are running Vista 64?
  3. Are you sure about that?
  4. It's not necessarily bad spelling, more like bad typing.
  5. Here is the site link : The Canadian Army Journal Here is the link to the article (pdf) : NOTE TO FILE—CONSTRUCTIVE SIMULATION VERSUS SERIOUS GAMES FOR THE ARMY: A CANADIAN CASE STUDY
  6. Take it apart and clean it. Use alcohol on the plastic sheets and soak the button assembly in warm water then use a blow dryer on it (assuming you have a normal keyboard). Take your time during reassembly, making sure all the parts are sitting properly in place before screwing the cover back on.

  8. Glued firm eh? Visiting pron sites again? ;-)
  9. The Power Point Creed This is my PowerPoint. There are many like it but mine is 4.0. My PowerPoint is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My PowerPoint without me is useless. Without my PowerPoint, I am useless. I must format my slides true. I must brief them better than the other staff section who are trying to out-brief me. I must brief the impact on the Commander before he asks me. I will. My PowerPoint and myself know that what counts in this war is not the number of slides, the colors of the highlights, nor the format of the bullets. We know that it is the new information that counts. We will brief only new information. My PowerPoint is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its fonts, its accessories, its formats, and its colors. I will keep my PowerPoint slides current and ready to brief. We will become part of each other. We will… Before God I swear this creed. My PowerPoint and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our subject. We are the saviors of my career. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace (and the next exercise)! Author Unknown
  10. There are two items that weren't addressed: Sponsorship and Urbanization. Insurgencies invariably have external sponsors in one form or another. Arms, supplies, training, recruiting, etc. requires money, space and the freedom to carry out such tasks. If any long solution is to be had, you need to deal with the puppet master too. On that note, you have to remember that not only nations such as the US have to combat insurgencies, we also sponsor them too. More significantly, the world is urbanizing. Traditionally, insurgencies have been rural endeavours and urban operations were used to distract attention away from what was happening in the rural area. I dont have the numbers but the world population is again moving back into cities because of factors such as globalization. Three excellent examples of modern urban insurgencies are The Troubles in Ireland, Soviet-Afghan war, and Chechen war. It's easy to discuss and dissect what to do and why to do it... but I never see the most important part: HOW to do it?
  11. Motherlode of videos http://www.strategypage.com/gallery/video_2007.asp
  12. I'll post more material for you in the download area. It will be named OPFOR quickguides.
  13. Version 1.0

    598 downloads

    A guy named Richie created this simple little utility. Might be useful for mission designing or during the planning phase when timing is a critical issue.
  14. Has anyone tried this? http://www.army.mil/fcsold/f2c2/index.html
  15. I admit I didn't know much about 4GW so I did some research. Am I missing something because it reads a lot like rehashed unconventional war doctrine. Unconventional wars are traditionally fought by special forces and what Lind writes pretty much describes their mindset, tactics, techniques and procedures. During my research, I came across this : http://www.military.com/Opinions/0,,Lind_Index,00.html It has 4GW and ancillary articles, some of them makes good points but some of them are "out there" (Note there is a 4GW manual in there if you are interested). I am trying to be objective when reading his writings but it's sometimes hard to take him seriously.
  16. I strongly recommend that you should stay away from the current war in the Middle East. If you are going to post in this thread, do not make provacative statements which will surely draw a hostile response. This is not directed at anyone specifically, but rather a reminder to think before you post it. There is one strike already from the last thread.
  17. http://www.channel4.com/fourdocs/archive/soldat_player.html Documentary on Russian conscripts. Make some popcorn... long vid.
  18. You need to update the CM runtime files to version 3.10 or higher
  19. The link is fixed now.
  20. Most likely it is mechanical related. Moving parts fail much more often than electronics.
  21. KT, Don't anything to that HD, remove it from the computer until you get a hold of me. I have something that might help.
  22. You should've pasted in the helo from Choplifter instead I also fed a lot of quarters into those things back then. I was into BZ until Star Wars came out.
  23. He's off to a good start Thanks glcannon, I got a good laugh from it... P.S. I don't remember helicopters in battlezone ??
  24. I would say thanks... but that's me on the receiving end. heh
