So there IS a reason My parents decided to home school me.

I was just wondering if anyone knows the technical difference between strategy and tactics. In my mind the difference is this, a tactic no matter how brilliant is not going to win a battle. The use of many tactical maneuvers which are planed by a strategist are what is required to win a battle. So to use tactics effectivly you would need to have people commanding your platoons and divisions to be able to be able take the initiative, but still be able to follow an overal battle plan, something not really available in C&C. My thoughts are this, tactics, while necesary in the real world do not really come into effect in C&C due to the fact that flanking, elevation and troop inteligence are not either used or at the necesary level. What is used in C&C and indeed most STRATEGY games is indeed strategy. Any thoughts? P.S. This seemed like an appropriate community to post this.

Akward........

They already have made one and I think it is pretty clear they wont make another. I do think EA should give it another go though.

But one needs the other correct? Strategy with out competent tacticians is use just as tactics without strategy are equaly usless.

Some day the tech will catch up with the ideas.

Ah fubar I remember reading that in Bravo Two Zero. Too bad most of that "true story" was fabricated, or so I hear.

I was just wondering if anyone else noticed the many similaritys between The Brotherhood Of Nod and "The Party" in George Orwell's 1984. Besides the similaritys in doctrine, the most glaring of similaritys come from one of the early briefings from Seth when he states somthing like "to control the future you must first possess the past". Also after you install RA there is quote from Kane saying "to control the future you must first control the past, to control the past you must conquer the future". These arent exact words used but you get the idea. Anyway, these are almost word for word quotes from 1984. Other similarites include Kane's almost despotic control of the media and similarity to Big Brother. True, you could draw parallels with numorous other storys but westwood seemed to draw many of its influences for Nod and Kane directly From 1984. Just some thoughts.

Legs-hair=speed, and when I crash and my legs get all lacerated the lack of hair keeps them much cleaner and free from infection. To much information I know.

But you must agree that tactics are only really effective when your field commanders are inteligent enough to think independitly, to a degree.

being the cyclepsycho that I am I do shave my legs....... But only sometimes.

Kidding about what?

I was wondering if there is a editor for RA similar to the made by Biohazard for TD.

Maybe the aliens were just trying to give us a gift and didn't know any better. Meh lets kill em anyway.

Thanks Battletroop. I am a psycho for cycling.

Just wanted to say hi. You guys seem to have a nice little community of intelligent people here. Though my standards my have been lowered by all the time I spend on IMDB. Anyway, glad I am a member, and everyone has already made me feel welcome.

As do I, the argument, however, still amuses me.

Good old Kane, he is due for a happy ending one of these days.

Any chance of another renegade style game? maybe this time you could be tanya in the RA universe, or they could do a tiberian sun versian and you could choose sides. Either ghoststalker for the GDI or mutant commando, or mutant highjacker, for Nod. No chance that would actually happen, but I can always dream.

I was being sarcastic. :roll: I just find it humorus that we are arguing over some pixels Westwood decided to throw in the bottem left of a game screen.

I just hope the series ends before it starts, lets ignore generals, going down hill.

It's really amazing how slow dial-up is. We would have something faster but nobody is willing to run cable out to my place. To remote for a DSL hub to.

I was so pumped yesterday. I had just purchased The First Decade and I rushed home to install it only to realize that......... My PC doesn't have a DVD drive. Damn, just damn. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

It's a beached whale.

Hooray if EA doesn't f*** it up that is.
