  1. If the "lived in look" is lower poly models and rudementary weathering over low detail 2D art, they achieved it.

    Here is a comparison of a Bradley texture and YPR texture.

    Excellent comment and comparison. The dusty 'lived in look" looks more realistic to me. The Bradley texture, while super nice, looks like it came straight out of the paint shop instead of a dusty battlefield.

  2. I'm finally getting back into CMSF after leaving it for a long time and during my game, I moved a unit into the green objective area with the result that the green disappeared and a message stating that the unit 'Located Objective X' appeared.

    Does that mean I have captured the objective and once I leave some members hold it, I can move on to the next objective? Is 'locating' an objective the same thing as capturing the objective?

    Many thanks for any and all replies.

  3. I try out the train wreck of Ageod WWI and did not like it at all. I may install it one of these days and give it a try again. Hopefully the patches help it out. I also have Guns of August but could not get into it for some reason. I also wish they would replace the horrible map of Europe they have.

    IMO… SC-WWI this is the best WWI game out there right now. Its has and easy UI and it is also a very fun game to play. I say you should try out the demo and if you like it then get it.

    Actually the Ageod World War One game is now pretty darn good. The first version did not attract me, but the Gold version with the new map and with the latest patch is fun to play and addictive.

    I bought Frank Hunter's Guns of August years ago, but never really got into it. It has the feel of a board game like others wrote, but the interface and graphics just don't appeal to me. I must admit though, I haven't put much time into it.

    Hubert's game is fun to play and comes really close to a true WW1 atmosphere. The events are definitely interesting to play. The game is definitely worth the money and I have had no regrets purchasing it. I also have the other SC games and I'm playing the Pacific game right now and having a blast.

  4. I remember watching this when it was first broadcast in 1996 on PBS and a few more times when it was repeated. A fantastic series in the same vein as Ken Burns' "Civil War" series. I highly recommend it. It's a great pity that PBS never released it in DVD.

    The Youtube user 'theolperfessor' has uploaded the entire series.

    Here is the first video of the series: PBS' "The Great War and the Shaping of the Twentieth Century"

  5. Nope, you don't stink. The game is tough on the high levels.

    I'm playing the game as the Central Powers on Hard in late 1914. The west has settled down to trench warfare in northern France while I'm really struggling to hold back the Russians in Galacia and even East Prussia. I'm finding the AI pretty darn good so far.

    Even though I'm struggling in the game to win, I'm having a blast playing.
