    It would be nice if this thread focussed solely on military aspects of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Its like the slower pace of Russian advance has given us all a pause to breathe and absorb while they stagger forward/regroup, giving us time to get distracted by dramatic, useless, irrelevant clickbait garbage. 
    I don't want to sound dogmatic/snotty, but....I personally have no interest in Taiwan, in regards to this invasion - I do see the correlations/parallels/implications ref that island, and it certainly would be fascinating in another thread, but here its a distraction of pure speculation.

    I loved seeing that guy pop out of the hatch with his phone in hand - I was imagining he's looking up a YouTube video on how to start the tank. Because of course there'd be a YouTube video for that !

    This is one of the best things of the Battlefront Forum: you can post whatever you want. Unless you cross every border of decency and/or common sense, you are TOTALLY FREE to express your opinions.
    Read that, Mr Putin!

    This has shifted more into the territory of "Stop worrying about what your enemy is going to do to you, and start thinking about what you are going to do to them".

    So I get up, US west coast time, do big dog walk in the woods, some chores, and then sit down to the most informative and clear thinking Ukraine war coverage available -- this thread! 
    Y'all are really something.  Thanks much!

    Gents a gentle prod we are keeping this thread open by talking about Ukraine. Russia has invaded Ukraine 🇺🇦

    I just realized guys, if someone wanted to they could now make an insanely large multi module  campaign following a whole division from the beaches right through Germany when the next blitz module comes out. 😮

    Interesting, the photo comes up if you search for Utah Beach but that could be a Googlism...
    EDIT:  Google maps on satellite image confirms the above photo is Lokken - oh well, at least the guess was correct 🙄.
    Perhaps I should have used this photo instead:

    Buy the 4.0 update and then don't bother with patches. Downloads from the orders page in your user account. That gives you an up-to-date, comprehensive installer for all your content in one file.

    Not to put too fine a point on it but there were no '59 Goldtops
    The '59 Standard though, that's the thing.
    Gold top "Les Paul Model" was phased out in late '58, replaced by "Les Paul Standard" and went two-piece maple tops and sunburst finish. If you see any non-two-piece sunbursts they are refinished gold tops.
    The small hands crack was because of the shorter scale?
    I happen to love Gibson guitars and have several including LPs, so this thread is interesting. On one hand this sort of targeting is creepy. On the other hand why wouldn't I want advertising that is suited to me?
    I'll look at guitars all day, thanks very much.

    That's a good idea. It's scary how well those ad servers are getting. I feel better knowing I wasn't the only one who was taken by one of those ads. Sometimes the item advertised is so exciting!
    I loved they chose this Bowie song:

    BFCElvis reacted to danfrodo in David Bowie and Zuckerberg   
    Vast majority of rock/pop stuff uses some mix of 1-4-5 chords and maybe a 6 and/or a 3 thrown in.  Bowie typically would break that formula, changing keys here & there and back again, throwing in a minor where one expects a major.  Only really good songwriters can do this and actually make it work into a something that fits together.

    BFCElvis reacted to danfrodo in David Bowie and Zuckerberg   
    Funny I just learned ziggy stardust and, more interestingly, Starman -- classic Bowie w clever & unique chord progression.  And I did not order a Les Paul (I have a guitar that sounds very les paul-sh) but I did just order this beauty below (delivery tomorrow), i do love me some Vox.  This did unfortunately cause serious delays for KG Peiper as I spent way too much time researching between this and Gretsch electromatics.  der Fuhrer was positively frothing w fury at this, but hey, war's lost anyway, right?  I gotta start thinking about my next gig after hostilities end.  Hopefully the Brits will capture me, they seem nice.

    BFCElvis,
    Much appreciate BFC's diligence on maximizing customer value received and your explanation ref how people got/get the physical game. I think the cover art is cool, bears a foreshadowing message and is atmospheric as all get out!

    BFCElvis reacted to StormDog in Add something new please.   
    Keeping it simple, I'd like to see
    A cancel button on the big red button's save email dialog. A two way acquire mechanism, so I can correct my mistakes when I take something that my unit can't use.   The combine command be a more reliable way to put my teams back together so I can break out a different team, or assault with the full squad after have broken it into teams. Maybe just select the two teams, and issue an assault. Command phase improvements. Things like tabbing through the selected unit's way-points, adding and deleting way-points, or selecting a unit and being able to quickly position the camera relative to it. More flexibility in embarking and debarking my grunts from and back into the vehicle. Wouldn't it be nice to move a vehicle to a waypoint where they wait for the grunts to load up, then move to another location. A way to select multiple units (e.g. vehicles), and plot a series of way-points, and all the selected vehicles travel through those way-points. (i.e. absolute movement rather than relative movement) In general, I'd like improvements to make the command phase to be less tedious. The easier it is to play the game, the more enjoyable it becomes.

    To update any Combat Mission PBEM game when a new patch comes out do the following steps:
    Load the old configuration PBEM game (.ema) in the old configuration of Combat Mission. Instead of processing your turn, save it as a save game (.bts). Update your Combat Mission to the latest configuration (in this case going from 1.01 to 1.02). Load the save game (.svg) Play and process your turn as normal. Enjoy. Like and subscribe. 😆
