As for the scrolling, I just wanted to keep it simple since it seemed like this guy must be very new at RA2/YR. It's been a while since I chronoshifted a pile of prisms. Mostly I do chrono other people's stuff - after chronoshifting one opponent's tank army into the lake, the next time the chronosphere was charged, he was prepared and scattered his troops. Unfortunately for him, he forgot about his Harriers and down into the water they went... It was a crushing blow since they were all double-veteran level as he'd been using them as his primary base defence late in a FFA game when nobody had much money. -- Tim "HeXetic" G. www.planetcnc.com
