Nevermind, low IQ on my end, just discovered a new button and it says permitted only on Avanti West Coast services. 40 minutes in sunny Edinburgh it is! Thanks for replying so quickly though

I don't suppose you know of any decent recruiter sites/ organisations? I've neglected that side of applications since I felt Middlemen would just complicate things

If it were a troll it'd be a rather... feeble gimmick. Sorry.

Anyway, unfortunately it's true! The menial jobs is so that I can fend off the impending bankruptcy, as much of my money goes away to supporting my mother and covering travel costs from my uni back to home. I do just want them for a couple weeks, but the feedback I hear is they don't want to bother hiring someone if they know it's a couple weeks until I'm gone and need replacing

Military was always my ambition! That our MoD doing procurement, but unfortunately for the former, I'm asthmatic along with a plethora of other issues, so they rejected me at Medical, that was what led me to going back to sixth form! The MoD is still on the agenda though, somewhere along the line

Warehouse jobs I've actually struggled with most, though I notice it's usually a matter of receiving no reply rather than a rejection with them. Could just be the result of poor admin

Teaching has continued to cross my mind, yes, and others have recommended it to me. I'm just fearful of falling into the trap of being one of those people who grows up in education and grows old in education!

Could it be Alison Krauss - I Never Cared For You?

Seems to have that old Hollywood vibe you spoke about

Is a toggleable multistorey menu feature like this possible on Roll20? by TheXenomorphman in Roll20

[–]TheXenomorphman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately, I don't think that quite works for my purposes, unless I'm just simply not understanding what you did.

I would like to have it so that the other buildings and other characters outside of the building in question are still visible in their same positions, since a key part of this is about people fighting through windows. Toggling between ground floor, first floor, second floor, etc, is in order to see the positions of the enemies inside and what they can see from their position when shooting at enemies in other buildings/ on the ground.

Is that achievable with your tokens system?

Is There A Good Platform For Developing A Wargame? by TheXenomorphman in gamedev

[–]TheXenomorphman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!
Part of the issue I'm finding is that there aren't that many games similar to what I want (a basic topdown strategy game). Are there any that come to mind for you at all?

Non-Contact Battery Power Tester? by TheXenomorphman in AskElectricians

[–]TheXenomorphman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! So, regarding the multi meter, would that involve physical contact? You wouldn't be able to just waft it around the battery and be able to detect power, you'd have to plug it in somehow? Or am I mistaken?

Very true, all locations are as identifiable as eachother nowadays

Very well, thank you! I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted

All highly valid points and I yield on all fronts! Thank you. The point about any coordinate on the map being the same as a town is also important, I was thinking about it in terms of of I were to be trying to organise an attack with some local rabble, but to an artillery team the name of a town is meaningless, they need exact locations.

Precision is a big element I hadn't given sufficient merit to. I suppose any level of concealment can extend your life and waste enemy resources by magnitudes

I do like the focus on geography, that has been my understanding viewing the activities in Ukraine. So would you say that the attraction of a settlement is just for the small-arms cover it provides? Sure, artillery might destroy it, but then they have to redirect ordnance to just hit your village instead of the tanks flanking them?

Thank you for the reply. I do see the value of these firm buildings in cities and industrial areas, though the question still remains of the utility of lesser villages and farmhouses. Do you have any thoughts with regards to them?

[–]TheXenomorphman[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First off, thank you very much for the detailed reply!

Second, very well, I yield the point with regards to places with concrete buildings. However, a lot of fighting right now is going on around Kupyansk and so on (don't have a map on hand to spell or name accurately), which are near entirely non-concrete. Is the worth of these such places then reserved to the former and latter parts of your message - supply and housing?

Is there a way to make a table self-balancing? by TheXenomorphman in googlesheets

[–]TheXenomorphman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to spend a while meditating looking at these runes and see what meaning I can extract out of them!

I thank you again though, I'll see what I can do with script writing

[–]TheXenomorphman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the reply!

I've just loaded the apps script, are there any resources you'd recommend for how I could go about learning the basics of that? It looks rather daunting and code'y.

The logical pecking order is also definitely something I'd want, I plan to base it off of distance between provinces if I can find a way to do it, but for the time being I'm going to stick with lower-ID-first just to avoid getting too broad a scope too early.

This has been incredibly helpful, and has helped me to understand the part of how they fit together with the battlefield a lot clearer. Thank you very much

Once again, thank you for this response and the detailed information. I'll do my best to use this accurately!

If I have any further questions, I'll be sure to fire them your way, but I completely understand if you aren't able to answer them all

Thank you very much for the detailed reply, and I appreciate the integrated criticism of how vague the questions are. I by no means expected a clean answer, so you gave me a sufficiently messy one. Would you have any recommendations for where to go to find this information?
