<t> Yee-hah! Ordered mine on July 1st. Arrived yesterday here in Seattle on the 10th. Thats within the 7-10 day window for me anyway. Does seem odd that they are reaching the West Coast before Arkansas....but how the mail works has always been beyond me.<br/> <br/> Time to start printing and reading...

<t> This was done in PS ver 6.0. Go to your Layers menu. Click on Layer Styles. You'll see a whole list of options. Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outter Glow, Bevel and Emboss, Satin, etc. Assuming you have some text on that layer (and it's not the locked background layer) start playing around to see wha...

<r> Some image editors such as Photoshop allow you to apply edge effects to objects such as type or other closed shapes, Bevels, contours, drop shadows, glows, patterns, etc. Just gotta experiment with them a little.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/bEVEL.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL...

Hey! New banners are flying already. Good job guys. [:)] Cap Mandrake...is that a situation map of the battle of Bloody Ridge in yours?

Doesn't look like it will arrive this weekend for me either. Digital River starting to look like a dry creek bed to me. Dagnabit. [:D]

<r> Oh do I wish it had arrived today kaluen. Would have been great to have it for the weekend.[:(] Hopefully by Monday. Until then....I want my...I want my...<br/> <br/> <IMG src="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/DireStraits.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/DireStrait...

As noted above they're not too hard to create on your own. Kinda fun too. This one is just a scanned image out of a Time-Life book with a little Photoshop lettering applied. Took a little more effort to create the roundels. [;)]

Me too! I'm camped out by the mailbox waiting. Then I can finally dump this stupid banner. [:D]

Time to call the Better Business Bureau.....and tell them you found an actual better business. [:D]

<r> They say a watched pot never comes to a boil....I can wait a little longer.<br/> <br/> Wouldn't wanna end up like this poor chap....<br/> <br/> <IMG src="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/RS.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/RS.jpg">http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files...

Somebody tell that tumbleweed to keep it down to a dull roar.

This aspect of UV always eluded me as well. After all we don't set the depth of our submarines in the game....we leave that up to the individual captains. Seems to me aircraft altitude should be left up to the squadron leaders.

Oh nooo. Not this morning. I forgot to line up my aircraft wingtip to wingtip last night.

Thanks for posting that page Hartley. Bought my first computer in 1992 shortly before Pacwar came out. I was stunned by what I had been missing up to that point and the possibilities. Brings back a lot of memories.

<r> Hey....we can still play Victory Games old Pacific War on my scanner...here lemme set up my pieces...<br/> <br/> <IMG src="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/CounterConfusion.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/CounterConfusion.jpg">http://ruhkarv.homestead.com/files/Co...

The man deserves a round of applause for his devoted support of this game. Haven't seen him around the forums lately. Must be recovering from Origins....or pursuing his evil twin Mikuma.

Hmmm. You'll notice that in the background of that picture is a sign that says 'women'.

Wonder if the first guy at that booth bought five at once. [:D]

Something tells me the inscrutable mass of code and algorithms that is the Japanese AI is not too terribly concerned. [:D]

<t> I'm waiting patiently...calmly....feet tucked up in the lotus position. Deep breathing.<br/> <br/> Seriously....I'm as anxious as anyone to finally see WITP. But let's keep things in perspective. The sun will rise tomorrow if we don't yet have the game.<br/> <br/> Did I say Rising Sun?.....gulp....

The battleship Missouri when she was moored in Bremerton. The Cold War destroyer Turner Joy. Plus the Russian Foxtrot-class submarine B-39that is on permanent display in Seattle
