  1. It's the snow. It will require a whole new engine. Think about it, EACH flake has to be unique. And, due to global warming, the lack of water world-wide, the price will increase by $2.
  2. When I was unemployed...for over 2 years (AND going through a divorce :eek:)...gaming was the one thing I always found money for. It was therapy. Kept me sane. Relatively. Whiners gotta whine. Haters gotta hate. But gamers always game.
  3. You can send me the $10. Below is the tank I just created. Wasn't that hard either...looks great!
  4. At first, I thought this was a trailer for a Russian film...nice eye candy but seems a bit silly at times.
  5. I made my kids watch Sophie Scholl, the last days, the youngest ended up in tears at the end. Imagine standing up for freedom, at age 22-ish, under such a regime. Subtle, but powerful "war" movie...
  6. MG was good, but I never got too deep into it. You'd probably get more for your money with RT. It plays a lot differently, when played as the Soviets, than the BN series. Your mileage may vary.
  7. Adobe has since switched to cloud based software. For a monthly fee you can download ALL their products. The latest version of Premiere is now Premiere 2014. I am Mac based and use Final Cut Pro X. It all depends what you want to be able to do with your editing. Like most software, the more you pay the more features you get.
  8. Set a target arc. The units aren't hiding, just won't open fire until the enemy enters the arc you have set. Its under the "C" panel with target etc.
  9. I've always been drawn to the Battle of the Korsun–Cherkassy Pocket. Don't know why. Snow. Mud. Armor. Hopelessness. The usual ingredients.
  10. That's a lot of armor on that map! Have to see how it plays out. thanks
  11. here you go http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5199/details
  12. If the reviewer can play an hour and forty minute game in 4 hours, he must be very fast. That would take me a couple weeks at least. Glad BFC got good press though.
  13. First part looks great. I searched all over and could not find a file to download this scenario. Even at the Blitz site. I saw the review page for Jewel, not the download. Do you know where I can find it? Thanks
  14. I had a partial squad stumble into a minefield and lose two guys. They were not on hunt, just move. The squad sat for a turn or two. No movement as none was given. Then two of the guys crawled (with no order to move given) back into the minefield. Obvious result occurred. The remaining two guys, said WTF and went AWOL.
  15. I remember using a piece of floss for LOS in Squad Leader, and that still brought about debates between me and my brother. LOS could be made favorable if you sort of fudged how you laid the string on the board, just a touch to the left of the hex center dot and it's clear, to the right it's not. That was annoying.
  16. Very good points. This is one reason why I never understood the appeal of The Sims. A game that makes me "play" what I already do every day?! Ugh. No thank you. CM2 provides me with all I need. It is my escape FROM realism...YMMV
  17. You want cheese with that whine? Two games a year is $120, that's $10 a month. That is unbelievably cheap fun.
  18. After you unzip the 7z file, it will unpack the items. The .btt file will be in the root folder, look for the "The railyard at Pitrovsk.btt" file.
  19. One reason why soldiers don't switch weapons at will...You are responsible for the weapon you were issued. This is current day info, but I am sure regardless of the military, you don't report back with a different weapon. From a US Army officer in 2010: source link Sure, Corporal Steiner did pick up a PPsh in the opening scene of Cross of Iron...and guys may have picked up other weapons, but generally I think you stuck with what you were issued.
