Hi. The OS X version seems to have a problem. The application itself is not executable. I had to go into Terminal and issue "chmod +x fu.app/Contents/MacOS/fu" before it would start. Sadly on my old MacBook Pro it is a little bit sluggish even with low graphics option. And it is too hard for me...

Yes, since my intention was to ask for reasons for choosing this name and not to request a change.

Final words on this from me: - first, the oath to Hitler replaced every single other oath pledged before (see those old text and speeches) - Second: Generalfeldmarschall-Rommel-Kaserne, Army-barracks, Augustdorf, Germany (I served there) Graf-Stauffenberg-Kaserne , Army-barracks...

Still trying to understand you, or your motives, but frankly I can´t. I don´t want to discuss Dönitz so called "apolitical" motives. There are plenty of books and papers around that do a severe and critical look at this topic (e.g. he got the golden NSDAP party badge). And for your statement...

I am impressed. The entire Standoff missions are really great and a lot of fun. But one question: do you really think it is wise to name a ConFed ship after a criminal of war http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Dönitz? I have no problems with names of ships of historical persons, but this one...

Wow!! Placing Third!! Cool! Congrats! Mission accomplished! You are cleared for landing. Maybe it is time for me to buy a X-Box and try to fly on your wing.

The Hydra looks quite nice. What kind of interface can we see in the movie and which software is used?

OhA! Thanks, that worked!

This thing rocks DOSBox is a must-have tool for all fans of old games. Seeing that this one now enables me to play Armada on my Mac makes me happy for the rest of the week :-) One slightly OT question: Now I want to try WC3 and WC4. I tend to create .iso files from my game discs, so I can...

I have an iBook G3 running 10.4 without problems. But maybe you have an old PowerMac which is not supported anymore. But it is not a matter of your CPU :-) Anyway, this thing needs somewhat more power, so a new Mac is an option :-)

Why do you think it is a "redundant fighter plane"? The Eurofighter is not redundant, the problem with this plane is that it was designed as "Fighter 90" (Jaeger 90 in german) as replacement for the Phantoms (and other older planes) in many european counrtries. So the initial design is as old...

This list is very nice, but can you add a list of all used references? I mean, I know that WC4N stands for the WC4 novel, but what is OOGWC3 or PS? This would make the list more complete... regards, Alex

There is no need to be sarcastic, just point to the "innumerable discussions" and everything would be okay. Look, I am just reading the novel again and found myself confronted with this thread while reading this specific page (71).

What about the novel for WC4? It states that it was easy for Blair to find his room, because it had been were Angels room was on the Concordia, and this is because the Lexington and Concordia were sister ships ("same class, build from the same plans"). Page 71, last paragraph I think...

Hmmmm. Action Stations, page 270, second paragraph: Begin: "Coral Sea´s gone!"....... End: ...."bursting out of the old carrier´s single launch ramp."
