RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Warhorse - 07-23-2014 Bolo is doing very well, I might add!! RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Crossroads - 08-17-2014 Busy summer, real life ain't all bad as I've found out.  At the moment I'm Beta testing Middle East, working on a couple of Forgotten Battles scenarios for MCS, proofing the imminent 2.02 UPDATE release... All's good, in other words.

RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Tankertony - 08-17-2014 Not sure if I'm in the minority on this, but I wasn't impressed with 2.0. My favorite game forever, having played since 98', I thought the game was almost perfect. My main issue is with the interface; losing that fat toolbar on the bottom hurt. Especially not having a zoom out/in button, which I am a big user of as I play on all views. Now I have all these little micro icons, mostly those I never use. And by God I can't seem to learn the buttons. No real issues with the changes to the graphics and audio. Some new explosions are cool. I suppose there were improvements to the editor and stuff. Nevertheless, I did see some posts which indicated that they were addressing these issues. Is 2.1 going to be this update? If the powers that be will just give us the option of using the old toolbar, the masses will sleep well at night. Fortunately, I have 1.4 on one machine, and will continue to play that when possible. RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Crossroads - 08-17-2014 TT, the Classic Toolbar option has been made available in 2.01, but if you don't have it installed yet you might want to wait because 2.02 UPDATE will be released Real Soon Now. Here's the Coder Diary #18 with intel about the new Toolbar options that were introduced in 2.01: LINK RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Herr Straße Laufer - 08-18-2014 Last year I changed careers. My new job is shift work and I have limited play time. I also lost the use of my left arm in February, to an infection in the shoulder muscle that took out the bicep and most of the triceps along with 90% of the muscle over my left shoulder. Still looking at an operation. But, mostly relying on Physical Therapy and a Stim Unit. Two week ago I recovered enough muscle to do a pageant wave. But, it still takes me twice as long to do most things. Even typing is a chore. And, I have not missed a day at work. I'm just glad they let me work when I looked like I was a stroke victim. Other than that I have two PBEM games going with a couple of patient players. I'm also looking forward to the fixes. I share TT's revulsion of the tiny icons. But, I know the fix is coming. HSL RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Big Ivan - 08-18-2014 Hey Ed, I never knew you were in all that difficulty. Sorry to hear about the loss of your arm. It must have been one of those infections I sometimes read about and hope to the Lord I never get. I hope you get well soon to the point you can function close to normal again!! If you have a JTCS slot open sometime send something my way. I'm wide open on optional rules and will play with any ROE's. I don't mind a slow turn rate either. Take Care and Best Always!! John[ItB] 
RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Crossroads - 08-18-2014 Hang in there Ed! I had no idea you had it so tough either. Here's hoping you get better soon! RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Kool Kat - 08-18-2014 Hey Ed:  Sorry to learn of your physical "challenges." Hope you get better soon! 
RE: Kind of Quiet Around Here!? - Herr Straße Laufer - 08-18-2014 Hi Guys, And, thanks! The condition is called Brachial Plexity/Plexous. The infection that got into the shoulder muscle took out the Brachial nerve which supplies the current to run the muscles in the left arm. Within a two week period I lost so much muscle my bones were sticking out. Be aware. It's causes are viral or bacterial infections. And, they also are finding statistics that show that "middle age men" can get it after taking the flu shot. Mine was bacterial. I do not do the flu shot.
