    Well, I'd just like to mention Kegytys hawk, that was very good at the time and I still like to buzz around in it. Also MFCTI is excellent.

    I have Gainward Ti4200. A friend of mine said he'd heard of this problem on a message board somewhere else. Maybe it's a winME thing. No, there was no problem before I got the card and there aren't any suspicious programs running and my system is as clean as it's ever been.

Must be a misunderstanding somewhere along the lines. The thing that bothers me is that we sold Sadman most of his stuff, does any of it work? It doesn't for us.

    As are we all, although I'm also looking forward to any kind of response from Codemasters about a replacement CD, no way am I going to pay for another full price version. I don't mind paying for the cost of a disk and postage and stuff but I have no intention of paying out 25-odd quid.

    certainly more people are against the war here in Britain than are in favour of it. But that's got a lot to do with the fact that we would prefer not to take military action unless the circumstances are very severe indeed. Not quite as gung-ho as some.

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (David Shipley @ Jan. 21 2003,19:09)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">You know, I've been playing OFP for a few years now. I still love the game... but lately, though, I've grown -- well -- tired of being the guy who has to kill everybody. I'm tired of being the guy who carries the LAW to destroy any tanks that come by. I'm tired of taking all the risk, and basically being Rambo. And also being the 'Rambo' who dies the most. Lately, I've shifted to letting my men do everything - I'm just a squad leader now. I tell them where to go, which direction to look at and when to shoot. I micromanage everything, all in an effort to make my team an effective fighting force. As I went forward, I learned about teams, covering fire and more. The result? My squad kills more bad guys than I ever did, and suffer less casualties due to good leadership. And the best part? I almost never die in missions now. I only fight when I have to. Most of the time, I just point out bad guys with my binaculars, and let my men deal with them. Well anyway, I guess I'm just trying to ask, "Has anybody else tried this?" Considering Operation Flashpoint is supposed to be realistic, I guess this is the most realistic way to play - as squad leader, that is.<span id='postcolor'> I know what u mean. The biggest problem with micromanaging a squad is getting killed while giving orders. What I like doing is taking 12 man squads, assign them to colours, dividing them up into a AT squad, Snipers and general troops. This way I can send each squad away in a different direction quickly without getting surprised by the enemy. Just my two pennies
