I don't think so. She was simply overwhelmed by a mass air strike, and pounded into submission. Bomb down the stack or not, she had no chance of survival. Her escorting light cruiser and four of the eight destroyers were also sunk. I've never seen any mention that her sinking was due to a bomb...

Raptor is correct. The man was Admiral Yamamoto Isoruku, the mastermind behind the Pearl Harbor attack. The battleship was the YAMATO, the largest battleship ever built. She was sunk during the Okinawa campaign by US carrier aircraft, hit by some 7 torpedos and 13 bombs. Her sister ship MUSASHI...

I've often flown the final mission without any wingman at all. Simply don't choose any at the briefing.

That's not a systyem REBOOT. It is, as you say, a system RESTORE. Rebooting is merely turning your system off, than back on. Hence the confusion....

I often found myself in WCIV trying to scoot through missions just to get ot the next video sequence. In that respect, the cutscenes were a bit overbearing. One of th ereasons I like WCIII so much (as the best overall game in the mainstream universe, IMO), is its superb BLEND of gameplay and...

The character in WC is Captain Hugh Paulsen. The actor is John Spencer. Yes, he plays Chief of Staff Leo McGarry on WEST WING, but does not appear in BOSTON PUBLIC. For other roles, check out his IMDB entry at: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Spencer,+John+(I)

Nein. Do not believe everything you read in the Victory Streak -- it's got a host of errors. According to the Official Strategy Guide, and if you pay attention in the game itself, the Hellcat is armed with two Ion and two Neutron guns. Another (albeit small) advantage that the Hellcat has is...

Re: You know... No flames, but you are quite erroneous with regard to Freddie Prinz, Jr. and Matthew Lillard. Both were around for several years before WCM came about.

Re: Re: WC2 Questions The Vaktoth and Ekapshi are NOT symmetrical. Indeed, none of the Kilrathi fighters/bombers in WCIII (and after) are symmetrical.

Simple concept here, folks. The Rapiers in the WCM were constructed from the forward fuselages of post-war Lightnings (early 1950's, built by BAC/British Electric), as LOAF and I have been stating.. When the WCM was being made, there were several stories and pics online of their development...

While the P-47 did indeed serve in the Pacific, it's greater number, and greatest fame, came from the European theater, where it was initially one of the few fighters with sufficient range to escort bombers for most missions. Later, it became the primary US fighter-bomber. It was able to carry a...

Not WWII planes, but rather old British BAe Lightnings.

Well, whomever said them, at least the listed quotes are generally examples of merely mispoken language, which we all do from time to time regardless of intelligence. I can think of much worse on the part of prominent politicians than honest errors in speech: "I did not have sexual relations...

You might want to specify that to run WCP on Win2K, you need a modified executable -- available from the CIC files section, I think.

What if C-A-T really spelled "dog"? :)

For all intents and purposes, we already HAVE Prophecy 2...Secret Ops was the follow-up game to WCP. (And please, let's not start the old "it's an add-on, not a full game" crap). OTOH, Prophecy 3 -- if the poll on this forum is any indication -- is the very thing that a lot of people would...

For computer software, the realm to which games belong, copyright last *70* years, not 17. So the wait is a little longer than I think we are hoping to have to wait. "Great-great grandpa, can you help me with this math?" "Eh, quiet sonny! I'm about to enter the jumppoint!" Well, everyone...

I've never even had to do that. Installed the game from within Windows, set up a shortcut to the executable, and away I went, no troubles. Played right in Windows, no reboot, no special start-up files. Ran great on my ol' P133 with 64Mb RAM, as well as my PII450/256Mb, before I went to Win2K...

Re: Tollways Obviously, you didn't read the thread, where I already responded to this. I dunno if "tollways" is a MidWest regional term or what, but I know that I've never heard it used in common language on the East coast between New York and North Carolina. On the other hand, I DO...

For the record, the DOS version of WCIV plays perfectly fine in Win9x.
