When I want (or even *need*) a system is it better to a) send two (or more) diplomats on one single mission together or b) send each of them on a mission of his / her own? Which way works faster?

Do you use any decoy? I actually remember one of my first games when indeed Han blew up an ISD over Coruscant in the very first days. Struck my opponent hard - but I thought it was pure luck. Are you suggesting that Han can do the trick more often?

Oh great! Thanx, I'll try that as soon as possible! (but don't expect any feedback soon, I'm quite busy at the moment)

Damn - I'm doomed However, thanks for your time and afforts, guys Should I find a way, I'll post it here.

No. UC, I am still a Windows user tired of being forced to buy Vista for no other reason than because everybody else uses it - so I'd like to get away from MS once and for all. I found alternatives for almost all the programs I need in my daily life - if I had a way of playing Rebellion on such a machine the change would be perfect

Does anyone have any experience with playing Rebellion on a Linux machine? A friend of mine once tried but it only worked half way - normal gameplay was ok but he didn't see the battle sequences. Of course that made playing impossible. So: Any suggestions e.g. for an emulator that can deal with this great game would be very much appreciated

Again, not much to say, I guess most of you know it already. I think it is hilarious http://www.angryalien.com/1205/starwarsbuns.asp

Thank you, Grand Admiral! I am just trying to earn my next promotion by serving the Empire well

Yeah, that's what I thought Merry Christmas everyone!

Not much to say - just enjoy:

Not really (even though I understand your point, btw) - just think twice: If these guys would have been successful, one of their most prominent beliefs would have been that the country is first, the individual only second. The individual has to serve the country. Now, can you imagine what they would have done to you if they found out how much time you - well, all of us - have wasted playing "Rebellion" - time you could have spent serving your country...?

First of all let me say a big thanx to Officer for even changing the avatar: Thank you! Then let me repeat myself: All 'easy' answers on this topic are often at best short-sighted. Although I have to say Eagle is doing a very fine job here And, yes, there is a very similiar discussion about the difference of the Wehrmacht and the SS here in Germany. A few years agao, there was an exhibition about the Wehrmacht, approaching it as a more or less regular army. There was a huge outcry at first, but it set in motion exactly that discussion. And it sparked some healing thoughts, I guess, similar to the questions you guys have asked here. And before it sounds too bad: The general approach towards the "Third Reich" has gotten less paranoid in the last years. Voices of rage e.g. because there is a Nazi-flag in the first "Indiana Jones" movie (and Hitler himself in the third) have gotten fewer and fewer. In the seventies, "Kiss" almost got banned from playing in Germany because the two 's' in their bands name looked like the old SS-sign. I don't think that would even being suggested today. Two generations after WWII, Germany is on a good way, I assume. But just keep in mind that the Nazi-regime was probably much more of a trauma than Vietnam was for the US. And as the recent Iraq-crisis shows, even that is still an issue, isn't it... Btw, today there is a small march of idiots (aka neo-Nazis) in my hometown. They are allowed to do that and are even protected by the law of free speech. No-one is happen with the event - but I think it shows (even though in an extreme way) that free speech is far from over in Germany

First, let me say that the whole Nazi-history is damned complex - most easy answers about it are more or less wrong... About your question: The "Wehrmacht" was the regular army of Nazi-Germany. The men in it weren't necessarily Nazis. The SS was kind of an 'elite force' and in it were specially selected men. [Don't ask me what made them 'special', I don't know the details.] Interesting question wether all Nazis were German. By definition, not. 'National Socialism' is something you are not born into, you can deliberately choose it (if your sick enough...). After Hitler had invaded France there were quite a lot people converting to or at least helping the Nazis. Still today, France has, like Germany, its own problem of dealing with that history. Historians made known recently that some persons (I don't recall which exactly, sorry) within the British government and even some royals seem to have been prepared for a time after the Nazis would have invaded Great Britain - they seemed to have liked the thought... And last but not least there are still today rumours that Walt Disney didn't dislike the views of the Nazis - to say the least It's an interesting topic - go and press more infos out of your teacher

Smart move, DO, smart move. I would miss SWR a lot, you know And Eagle is right: Consider a different avatar, too.

Generally and due to our history, we strongly tend to see the swastika as a purely Nazi-symbol - so it is forbidden to use it in any context. I don't know about any execptions but the Buddhists I know here in Germany at least do not use it - wether on purpose or due the special path they are walking I cannot tell. Bottomline is: Don't use it when in Germany. And maybe tell Darthyouknowwho not to use it here. PS: Remember when Prince Harry was in a club wearing a fake Nazi uniform. You would be jailed for that over here. No kidding. PPS: I rembember a short discussion wether or not New Hope should be displayed in Germany at all - because Tarkin's and other's uniforms were quite close to Nazi uniforms... uc, sensitive stuff...

Yes, those laws exist - and thank God, they work rather good, too. Even 60 years after WWII, anything that deals with the Nazi-regime is still a very sensitive topic here. I remember that there was an article on BBC News about that guy being fined over his anti-Nazi-leaflets, I'll try to find it and post the link. Well, it's not the original one but maybe even making things clearer: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6040086.stm

Being from Germany myself I have to agree with Eagle: That officer makes me feel rather uncomfortable, to say the least. But maybe more important to all of us fans over here: There are quite strong legal rules for displaying any Nazi symbol - in short: you aren't allowed to do it. Just a couple of weeks ago someone had to pay a fine for displaying ANTI-Nazi-signs because they showed a swastica. That dark officer could well be the cause for swrebellion.com being completely shut down in Germany. Just think about that... (That photo he uses is quite 'dangerous' as well in this respect because is walks a very thin line...)

I just got up - and found all this help. Thank you so very much! And I'll surely be back with more questions

OK, I'll keep waiting for that. btw, are you sure your location is meant to be ... "The Andorid's Dungeon in a galaxy far far away." ?

Verdex: is there a way to pull the sounds from rebellion?.. this I dont know.. ... me neither, that's why I am asking

I'd like to hear my e-mail-client tell me that new mail has arrived using e.g. Solo's "I told you it was gonna work!" or Vader's "I have arrived!". Unfortunately, my client accepts only mp3s as sounds. Is there any way (anyone) to extract the sounds of Rebellion as mp3s?

I have neither found this in the manual nor on this great site, so maybe here's something new for you, my Imperial friends: It is possible to make the rebel's HQ target of a sabotage mission! I once located the HQ on Womrik, sent one Imperial command, they blew it up - and I won. My opponent was *very* surprised and this event struck fear into his heart until today. My kind of revenge for that damn 'Trench Run Syndrome'
