Something to pass the time. Pretty grim, though. BERLIN 1945 | ArmA III Machinima Best regards, Thomm

No remorse here. I was not looking for an online multiplayer FPS. In fact, I was not looking at all. The game found me. If I want to have a multiplayer experience, I play a different game (which I will not mention, because you will point at me and laugh! ). I looked at some videos of the more realistic games you mentioned, but they seem to require so much more effort, and to be so much more frustrating then the straight-up bot matches, which can be tweaked and modified to give the a consistent experience reliably independently of any server population.

So I went ahead and bought the game (for 8 Euros). And it is a lot of fun!!! I was wrong, though, with my initial comparison to Combat Mission. The perfect description would be 'a FPS mode for Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far'. At least as far as the 'Arnhem' map is concerned. Lots of nail-biting action to be found there! Best regards, Thomm

In retrospect, not my most sensible post! 🥴 The game looks fun though. Best regards Thomm

Just heard of a little game called 'Brass Brigade' for the first time (at the Grogheads forum). I guess this is, roughly, what a FPS mode in CM could look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsIgZioe6L8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b80rkHNmQyQ Best regards, Thomm

This one is for you, agusto! Hope you find some comfort in it! ORF: Wien Heute Best regards, Thomm

Oh, I was looking for topics on the US election, and now I found this. Good to hear that you were not harmed, agusto! There is really not much to say about this attack, except for one detail. In one of the many videos of the attack, some Viennese dude (allegedly) shouted at the terrorist, in deep dialect: "Schleich di, Du Oaschloch!" Which translates to: "F.ck off, ass.hole!" That night, this guy summed up everything there was to say about it. Stay safe and carry on, Thomm

As a native speaker, I have to pay some respect here! For full effect, please use proper capitalization, as in: Truppen-Grillen Best regards, Thomm

Not following this thread lately. Did 'Fulda Gap' win already? Best regards Thomm

Found a reference to an upcoming "Fulda Gap" RTS on Grogheads. Quoted from Steam: Regiments is a Real-Time Tactics set in Germany 1989. The Cold War has gone hot, and the inferno is raging. Lead your Regiment through the fires of conflict and the fog of war. Break through the lines, call in artillery, maneuver, feign retreats, stage defenses, counter-attack. Do not relent. So the subject is worked on. "CMFG" would be a must-buy for me. Best regards, Thomm

It is the same with your opponent. Perhaps because it is overcast?! I am totally out of the loop re. CM. Maybe it is supposed to look like that. But shadows would be beneficial, I guess. Best regards, Thomm

Hi Elvis, do you play with shadows off? On purpose? Best regards, Thomm

Ha! That video is awesome! Kinda gives the feeling that one did not waste time testing/playing Combat Mission. Best regards, Thomm

Congratulations!! Best regards, Thomm

Listening to the "Distributed Version Control" Chapter right now. Again: Parallel to working, so bear with me. You use git and SourceTree. It would be good to mention where to get these programs and how to install them. You mention 'VPS' on the "How Do I Use Git" slide. Did you introduce this abbreviation before? Warning: This presentation seems to end prematurely (at "Merging Branches") Best regards Thomm
