CMBB Storm 555

[PoorOldSpike]

I recall I've played Storm555 3 times in the past, I think the first two were okay but in the third I was bombed in fog and rain so I quit on the spot in protest, maybe it was a new version or something..:)
I mean, aircraft might well bomb in fog and rain in Alice in Wonderland, but not in serious adult wargames like CM..:)
In fact there was a big discussion in Proving Grounds last year about whether scen designers should unrealistically tweak the program with things like that, and by putting pillboxes in houses, tanks in rubble etc.
I pointed out that doing things like that can make the program glitch and bug like crazy (a proven fact), but of course I was howled down as usual.
No big deal, I tell scen designers to STICK WITH SPIKE OR TAKE A HIKE, meaning that if they ignore my advice they're gonna have ter get themselves another boy to test their stuff in future..:)
For examp, a guy just sent me his scen to test and he's got conscript and green American tanks in it, totally useless, so I said 'change them to Veterans and i'll be glad to test it'.
But he refused, so i'm currently testing somebody elses game instead..:)
