Didn't know where to post this - sorry if this is not the right place. I am pretty sure that my log-in is the same as my forum log-in but I don't have access. Can I please get a password reset? Thanks.

Iron = hard core grog. Kind of like playing Silent Hunter in real time.

Doubt the two are linked in any way.

Didn't mean to be rude. Sorry if I cam off that way.

Very cool.

..that make this game great. So how about a cool little details thread? I'll start - and I found this out by benchmarking a saved game and running the next turn over and over again while locked on a Sherman: The Sherman was unbuttoned and when hit w/ small arms the TC would drop down and close the split hatch - so you would expect that. But a couple of times the TC was hit - and he would drop down into the tank and the hatc would remain open - and was closed sometime later (probably by another crewman). Now that's attention to detail. BTW, I must have played this turn out about 20 times and the variety of outcomes was very gratifying to see; - Hit/abandon - Brew ups where no one got out - Light hit/back-up/pop smoke - Tank kills enemy and survives ...good stuff!

My money is on Thursday.

True dat - kinda like George Castanza but instead of eating pastrami you are playing CMBN.

Did you miss c3K's post above? Read it to find your answer. A tank's armor may be able to shrug off a hit but not all of it's equipment could.

Hmm...no I didn't - but I will tomorrow morning. I'll report the results here. (Oh yea, DarthMod makes the TW series MUCH better).

Did some benchmarking for my ATI card and posted over on the Wargamer forum - a long post. If anyone is interested, here is the link: http://www.wargamer.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=537463

Just got done getting my benchmarking done and am now happy w/ my settings - 32-25 FPS w/ a very nice level of GFX goodness. Now moving on to actually playing this morning. Just want to say thanks as the game more than fulfills my expectations.

Looks like I need to update my drivers then.

Bingo! Oversight?

Yep, that's my set-up and I get the issue.

Exactly. The nuggets of wisdom are buried under dross. Would be great if BF could pull those out and put them in a sticky on this forum.

God bless you BF, god keep and bless you!

Too true. It may be cool to give the 76mm Shermans a couple of HVAP "hot rounds" * that you would want to save for the Kitteas - and you would not want your Shermans wasting them on a H/T. But most of the time the load-outs gonna be AT/HE/Smoke and - outside of Smoke which is a choice - the TAC AI knows what type shell goes to what target. * BTW, the later model M-10s in the game have these rounds. They BETTER not waste them!

Was that graphic from a US Army field publication?

Well then, I stand corrected.

Exactly. The EU is basically an unelected kleptocracy finding new ways to tax the productive class.

Tis a pity - snif.

Kind of makes sense as - it's a demo. You want full features, you gotta buy the game. Jusy have your friend d/l and then go to his house and SHOW him how great it is.

Love it - they're FANATICS - they ain't going anywhere!!
