Mine came 2nd day air. I don't know if that is because I preordered on Jan 30th (1st day), or distance to deliver or some other random factor.

The one with the color cover is for the Red Thunder Game itself. The other one is the 3.00 Engine manual.

I'm 59. I still like the printed page in hand, better than a view on a monitor. I actually looked forward to that more than the disk.

Won't tell a soul. : ) Color cover is a nice touch.

Physical components hit my mailbox today. I like that both manuals are spiral bound and thank you BFC for putting them on plain white paper. My eyes read them much easier.

Was that Panther hull down to it's target?

My bad. I did not realize that you had to go into the data field and set the month before you could preview the units.

In the editor, when you pull up the armor group and purchase a Heavy Panzer Battalion (Tiger), you get basically support units and 3 companies of Pz-VIE's. No Pz-VIB's. In the QB menu, when you pull up the armor group purchase a Heavy Panzer Battalion (Tiger), you get support units and 3 companies of Tigers but the 1st company is composed of the VIe and the 2nd and 3rd are composed by the VIB. I know I am old(er) and wear glasses but I don't think I am mistaken on this. If I am, nevermind.

Thanks Steve. I hope that to do list doesn't outgrow the page.

Sturmartillerie Brigade with it's SMG equipped German squads is also missing from the QB purchase menu. It is available in the editor though.

I hope they appear. At least as long as I have to field Germans in the woods, I'd rather come closer to matching those Russian SMG squads that toting around a Mauser.

It seems that sturmartillerie units are only available in the editor but not in QB purchase screens. I believe its only the 4th company of that brigade has them.

They are available in my install. QB, Assault, Fortifications, at least for the defender.

Perhaps people who have never play tested don't actually realize how little "Play" there really is. Most of it is time consuming and detail oriented, and under a deadline. My helmet is off to those of you who work long and hard on this for free. It does not happen without your efforts.

I'm just glad they put in the disclaimer that you don't have to speak Russian. The manuals are in English.

I'm glad to know I am not the only one that wears headphones. Adds to the ambience.

I think you are going to have to talk to the man himself. Send him a PM. He helped me out a while back.

Pretty sure Gaj will need the .brz file names for it to work. I think I gave them to him for Market Garden when it came out.

This is from the log, right? It doesn't look like any of the errors I have ever seen. It appears that it cannot find the database it is looking for. Have you verified that h2hh is looking in the right place for your install?

I thought this clip would be appropriate to your "graphics" thought.

First off, mods. They are only cosmetic and highly personal. Everybody probably thinks there is a "must have" in their own opinion. Every bodies opinion is different. That one is difficult to answer. Gustav Line? Yes, unless you only want to fight with US forces in Sicily. Without GL, no Allied armies, Brits, Canadians, Kiwis, or Polish. Also no Salerno, Monte Casino or Anzio (and all points in between). You get to play in the snow. So I would get GL and be sure you upgrade to all the way through 1.12. There were some problems in earlier issues that were corrected.

Yes Warlord Leader, its a long way from Screaming Eagles, but enjoying the journey is just as important as getting there..

This may be another bug but when you start a QB, meeting engagement and select human map choice, maps 307, 340, and 363 all cause the game to hang at 0% read. Map 391 gives an immediate crash to desk top. All are "Open" types of maps. All I can see similar in them is that they are open types and numbered above 300. Maps 050 and 118 do not cause this problem.

Played 1 battle with Air Support so far, but it was in Italy. Bear Claws. P-40 was my most accurate and effective weapon. Go figure. Maybe they forgot how to aim after January 1944? Or newer pilots with less training?

I'll be truthful, it might have been another tank. If h2hh hasn't cleaned it out, I'll go back and try to see. There was a fair amount going on that turn. All of this took place on the 1st floor of the building so geometrically speaking, it would've been a straight line of sight return shot. Well I'm afraid I don't have that file anymore so I can't recheck.
