    You should have the officers wear the "bear hats" (not the British Royal Guard Version, you know what I mean tounge2.gif )

    Either that or give them to the police. I know the Russian police wear them. And if you really have time give them great coats, they wouldn't last an hour in their current uniforms in a Winter Nogova! xmas_o.gif

    Just a thought! Can't wait!

    "Master & Commander" is the best I've seen for a long while

    Favourite quote:

    Captain Aubrey: "D'you want to call that raggedy-arsed Napoleon your king!?"

    The crew: "NO!!!"

    You know the French ship is an American one in the book, however the director didn't want to lose sales in America by letting the British beat them. rofl.gif

    Enemy at the Gates, mainly because I like the Russians played in WW2 (let's face it the were doing a lot more progress than Western Europe/America by 1944) thumbs-up.gif

    This mod actually brought me to the OFP community, I probably wouldn't be playing it right now if it weren't for you guys!

    Thanks!

    You guys will be back right? I don't think we could cope without an FDF-less OFP2 or AA. confused_o.gif

    We'll miss you! *cries*

    Katrina kills most fish in New Orleans aquarium [CNN]

    Apparently the animals in the Zoo survived. But it's not like I really care - it's the following that caught my attention:

    Quote[/b] ]

    A crocodile from the research center was missing, said Rhett A. Butler, a conservationist and founder of the Web site mongabay.com

    So, even if you don't drown, get shot or get some nasty disease, you might end up as a light supper for a crocodile crazy_o.gif

    If they ever deciede to re-build NO on the previous site (Which I hope not) then perhaps that Urban Legend of Crocodiles in the Sewers will become true! crazy_o.gif

    Just as a sidenote, I found something interesting:

    Bagdad, Arizona

    I found it while using Flight Simulator, it's right above Baghdad Intl.

    Check it out here!

    Please don't let this post distract you from the main argument, I thought it would be interesting for some of you to know.

    I hope everyone knows that Hydrogen powered machines/vehicles exist, but some Oil Companies have bought them, because hydrogen engines run on water, and companies like Shell can't own the ocean.

    Hydrogen does not emmit Carbon Monoxide, but pure O2. This technology is availiable now, but it's because of selfishness and "profit" that it's being held back.

    Quote[/b] ]Why Hydrogen?

    Hydrogen, manufactured locally using water, wind and sun, is a secure, inexhaustible, emission-free fuel for consumer electronics, heat and electricity production, and the next generation of highway vehicles.

    That has nothing to do with Katrina btw, just somthing ot do with the environment.

    I just hope it won't become a painting, and stick with the original game concept. I know a few games that are nice to look at, but when it comes to gameplay... well there isn't any.

    I'm sure the game devs have avoided this though, this IS AoE after all! notworthy.gif

    Seeing as they are desert units, wouldn't it be plausable for some of them to have those things over their mouths. I forgot the name of it, so here's a pic:

    A neckercheif or somthing. Anyway, I thought it made them look more bandit-y, and I know I've seen the military use them after sandstorms.

    Looking good so far though! thumbs-up.gif

    I hate to think this but perhaps the Government are using a "Pave over the area and forget about it" strategy.

    On the News I saw an Aid Helicopter hover over some survivors, throw some food/water down at them and leave, no one got out. Hell, it didn't even land!

    Stories about a dieing woman crawling towards a police car, then being shooed off by the barrel of a shotgun by the Officer.

    Some groups are suggesting that this is the end of America's time as "the leading superpower." Who knows how hard financially the country has been hit (9 out of 18 Oil Refineries offline). Also they've already pulled some units from Iraq to the disaster.

    A few people who wern't effected directly that got interveiwed cared more about the raising oil prices than the people dying in the City.

    I don't think people realise how bad the situation is, including the President. I blame some media groups of "holding back" some truthes.

    From here in the UK it looks like a warzone, I personally though it looked worse than Baghdad, espesially in New Orleans.

    Hope things improve soon, I've sent some money to the Red Cross.

    Any news about BumRush and his family?
