But the motherboard I have there doesn't support AMD, at least not according to the specs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> New motherboard! New motherboard! New motherboard! New motherboard! That 64bit tech will be nice when the new windows hits in 06 (it will support the chip, hence other things prolly will start to as well)

MOSCOW - Russia has struck a deal to provide Iran with Tor M-1 missiles, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Monday, news agencies reported. "A contract for the delivery of air defense Tor missiles to Iran has indeed been signed," Ivanov was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency. "This unequivocally does not change the balance of forces in the region," Ivanov added. Tor M-1 missiles are short-range, surface-to-air missiles already used by several other armed forces, including China. Russian media reported Friday that Russian and Iranian officials had signed contracts in November that would send up to 30 Tor-M1 missile systems to Iran over the next two years. The reports prompted an immediate expression of concern from the U.S administration and in Israel, which considers Iran to be its biggest threat. Israeli concerns were heightened recently after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged that Israel be "wiped off the map." Interfax said the Tor-M1 system could identify up to 48 targets and fire at two targets simultaneously at a height of up to 20,000 feet. On Saturday, an influential Iranian official downplayed the deal, telling the official Islamic Republic News Agency that Iran has been trading arms with many countries and would continue to do so. And the Russian Foreign Ministry, without commenting on the reported missile sale, said Saturday that all Russian weaponry supplied to Iran is purely for defensive purposes. However, a senior Bush administration official, who declined to be named, said that any arms sale to Iran is a source of concern. The official declined to say whether Russia had advised the United States of any negotiations with Iran. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051205/ap_on_...ussia_iran_arms So um, how are those peaceful disarmament talks going for ya guys?

I would suggest doing your best to hide one of your guys and have the other dress in the US army officer uniform and get the jist of where the troops are. Maybe you can knife a few to death quitely.

Is that real? Whats it off of???? Printed in Singapore, where it's cheaper

before you left did you talk to the Spanish guy, maybe he would join you

Yao is a Texan through and through? Never would have guessed. The man signed into law "Jesus Day" in your state, he's the adopted son.

Perhaps the Irish would like to own England Besides, we need all the delinquent teens we have to be in the army as...um.....peacekeepers/shock troops

AMD AMD AMD AMD!

Ok, your all alone with that map, how did you get it again? EDIT: then I massacred your peoples troops

The prison level, right? Unless, of course, you are the master of things TB (and all things carmel popcorn) Seriously, this level is a bitch and I think they send you in under-armed and below in levels and troops. This is what I did: Strangle the commanded, use his uniform and the American officers uniform you already have to get 2 of your guys to the second floor. Actually, take one of those guys, and hit the loot button. You should find wire cutters, that will allow you to put a hole in the back of the prison fence (you might have to turn off the power, dunno, I dont think I did tho). Then send that guy up to the 2nd floor. Take the third person, sneak them past patrols too the nook by the back door. Some times the towers spot you while sneaking in, should only take an attempt or two tho. Now your prepared for combat. Place your guys on the 2nd floor in position to kill as many guys on the first turn as you can. I recommend by the safe on the 2nd floor, when that one guy who patrols passes by, there are 3 of the 4 gaurds on the 2nd floor in front of you, but thats not it. If you leave your 3rd person on the first floor, kiss them good bye. You have to start the combat like this: Have that third person "run" to the 2nd floor. Won't get very far, as you'll be spotted, but take the few steps you can get and then start combat yourself. Have that person run to the 2nd floor, using whatever cover you can. Prolly get hit once, so level the mde equipment with that person. Your other two guys take out the 3 gaurds and move on to elimanating the 4rd one on the next turn. From there, you got two places to hold. The stairs and the ladder that runs to the roof which is excessable to you from the hatch in the ceiling. For a little help, the prisoners eventually break themselves out, and if you leave weapons on the ground (guns, knives won't help) they just might kill a few guards for you. Have the squad leader talk to the spanish guy ASAP when that happens and he'll join you. He can break open the safe as well, special gun and med stuff iirc. Not a very good shot tho, pair him with your strongest burst guy and a pistol for cleanup duties. Thin out the majority of them at the chock points, then fight your way out from there. If nessasary, blow up the stairs with grenades so no one can use them, but I'd hate to have to use the ladder to get down, your in the middle of everything and can't cover your guys very well. You can blow up the ladder too, now that I think about it. O, and keep you guys out of the direct path of those windows in the middle of the room.

That would be a waste of good resources. Stick their sorry asses in some desert African country. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Canada isn't a desert? "

I think alot of us are right around computer upgraded time. If their still playing in a month, I'd be glad to pick up the game, but I doubt my computer is going to be handling BF2 very well as is. We really should field a forum team Anyways, so this is a private server, some kind of offical server you guys just meet up on, whats the deal. I'm assuming, since you gave the IP address, just a server you guys have in the office.

Fair enough. But if you do manage to beat the ambush let me know pls. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure if I want to help you kill Americans. :ph34r: First, the only time I've seen Americans on that map are: 1. When the Spanish guy gets arrested, but thats a cut scene and hence can't fight with them. 2. If you kill all the cops, or at least, lots of them, then a bunch of US soldiers pop up. At least 4. I have comfired 3 with my eyes, but I was exectued by a very powerful machine gun from behind, so I'm guessing 2 squads of 6. If you have the patience, I'd fight my way into a house and just "Alamo Up", if you will

bu.. bu..but we're buddies eldar..... The period after "Die" makes it that much more effective at hurting my feelings.

Don't forget the cost of Windows itself. And the first system you listed does not appear to have a PCI-Express slot. Bad move, imo.

Ok, I'm about argued out on these boards. Agreeing to disagree in 5...4....3...2..

I do like lazers. It sounds like a giant thunderdome tho. 17 ethics groups enter, 1 culture leaves.

Not really. On anything but hard the enemy is so weak that it doesn't really matter what your setup is. Your main hero units, or things like assasins, will just destroy all. You can almost beat the GBA FEs with just an assasin. Sure, you can self limit yourself, but thats a whole new arguement. Sure, to each his own, but I maintain that SS is on top of the mountain in terms of TB depth. In FE, you use the "best" (see: damage) weapon you have. THe only reason you don't is because you want to conserve your best weapons for bosses. Then there are the reverse weapons that reverse the battle system. Thats really your weapon choices. A few do better critical damage or some such, but you get very limited in those terms. That doesn't happen at all in SS. You just pick the best weapon in terms of your strategy. Silenced weapons, melee, long distance, burst, grenages, multishot pistols, etc But FE gives you things like colleseums so you can just up your exp. In AW you have to worry about things like Fuel and your commanders special powers (and their commanders powers) Both games boil down to who wanders into whos "kill zone" first. Thats the real "tactic" of it all. Even then, the enemies usually can't kill you if you do before you get a turn to retreat that guy. You go into an enemies kill zone in SS, your dead. In FE, you can pick up that guy with another unit or, more likely, you survive and just run away behind other guys. Unless, of course, you are retarded and completely send your magic guys up front. That is like sending medics up front in SS, it's just to stupid to call not doing it a "tactic".

Whatever your typing right now is wrong

Your mistaking micromanagement for tactics. You may have to do a lot more popping up and down in SS but as far as overall tactics Fire Emblem beats it hands down. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think your mistaking having options for micromanagement. Your choices, even in terms of RPG type charecter building, is far greater in SS than it is in FE. I mean, you can't even pick how your character grows in FE, except when you "evolve" him. In SS, you have a pretty decently sized skill tree. If you want to bother going into weapons.... In terms of the combat, SS doesn't have a set "system" like FE. It doesn't bottleneck you into the best "tactic" to use. If I run into a mixed squad in SS, I can win or I can lose, it all depends on what I do next and a bit o luck. FE is MUCH more forgiving. Tactics, beyond FE system, arn't really nessasary. Seriously, I can't fathom comparing the two games serious. FE, imo, isn't even as deep as it's sister game "Advanced Wars". Close, but I'd give it to AWs.

Ok, Fire Emblem just isn't deeper TB combat than SS. No freaking way. Having played alot of both, just no.

Ooooooooooooo............I see where your going with this Eldar is Jodo!

I take it your putting it together yourself? $1500 is alot to work with, imo. Me, I was thinking of picking up this computer (emachines have served me well in the past): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1124431830447 Double the ram and put in a 6800 GT in the PCI-E slot, I walk away for about $800 thoughts?

Any people that were almost wiped out by a potato famine can't really be all that "perfect".
