  1. And the best thing is that you don't even have to pick a unit nearby. Just pick any old unit and the FT unit and give the move order... then delete the move order from the other unit. Oh and my first thought when reading the headline? "what are you smoking? Patch 3.0 isn't out until mid december!" The perils of being heavily involved in the forums of multiple games I was thinking of SWTOR hehehe
  2. Yeah, that bit was certainly "movie aim" Oh yeah, she loved it And I'm the one who took HER to the movie Btw. she also loves superhero movies so I've seen all the marvel ones with her (either at the cinema or at home on Dvd/blu-ray) Also an avid fan of Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead. I've also watched Band of Brothers, Rome, Breaking Bad and Deadwood with her
  3. I saw the movie (with my 64-year old mom. It was her birthday present) and I liked it. Sure, there were a few "movie" moments, but overall it was a good movie. Surprisingly so actually. Definately not a "hollywood warmovie". And anyone riping about the youtube clip where they fight the tiger needs to watch the movie as it is completely different there. 1: they pop smoke on the tiger and back away. 2: they decide to flank it left and right before the smoke clears. 3: the tiger decides to move forward through the smoke, interrupting their manouver. 4: it damages the turret drive of the "fury" tank. 5: the fury misses due to firing on the move. 6: they decide to circle around it to hit the weakest part (which is understandable if you are to the side of the tank and all impacts would be at an angle, but still not called for) So yeah, it's not much to complain about in that clip in its full form. Only the "move behind it" part, but even that could be explained due to simply heat of the moment (and failing to penetrate the tank earlier due to hitting the mantle)
  4. I don't get how anyone could find this difficult. First thing I did when I (finally) got the pack was set up a small scenario to test the units out (holland, 1944, september). Put in 1 forward observer on each side, then I picked the "single vehicle" option to pick out all the tanks, then "specialist units" to get the flamethrowers. Bunkers were right there in the formations. Only thing I had to "go looking for" was the priest kangaroo, and all I had to do there was switch to canadians.
  5. Actually, that might not be as exciting as you'd think it would. At least not to the average movie-goer.
  6. I think some people need to get out of their armchairs a bit and ask themselves if it would be a good movie if they had just shot that Tiger from 1km away or if they had been blown up by the numerous panzerfausts in the end battle. Would that have made a good movie? Sometimes reality doesn't make for good movies so you have to thumb on reality a bit for the action in movies.
  7. I knew, hence the Anyway, we actually have a few loons ourself that go up to the border with småland and halland every year and dig a little bit just to some day separate skåne from the rest of sweden. Yeah... loons :/
  8. Well that only works if you have spare capital. BFC isn't exactly swimming in money here and they need to pay their employees.
  9. I'm more curious as to why the fa**** word wasn't censored but the sh** word was :/
  10. For all of those guys who play quick battles and like playing what-if scenarios. It's always nice to be able to have bunkers when defending as something other than the germans.
  11. Eh... you should re-read your posts a bit mate. It's full of emotional arguments. Point is, you are the one that started comparing with other products. You said you could buy other games for 20 bucks.
  12. 'twas never your land to begin with! You danes and swedes just need to leave us scanes alone!
  13. Actually, it's the entire argument. You are saying it's too expensive for its content. Then don't buy it. You can't demand that they lower the price just because YOU don't think it's worth it. If that worked, I'd be able to buy ferraris and porces for the same price as a volvo.
  14. Well then fine... Let's compare digital products to digital products. Here's a pack of 6 ship skins for 1 ship in Elite Dangerous... it's 12.50£ And here's the Elite Dangerous game. it's 40£ and it will include hundreds of ships that you can travel through the entire milky way with over 100 billion star systems, each with their own planets and stations. Each with their own sort of government and tons of resources. Now... that's only for 40£ That's a ton more content than what's in a CM game. So should they start giving the games away for free? Or should we just realize that a pack with 27 units takes time and effort to make and that time and effort must be paid somehow, and 20 bucks is not alot of money. And don't talk to me about the value of money. Have you ever been starving? I have. Have you ever lived without any income? I have. I know the value of money. And 20 bucks is not alot of money. Hell, I could make that much money if I just went out and started begging in the streets.
  15. That's just cause we're all expert tacticians and brilliant military strategists now thanx to our years playing BFC games
  16. Rat sorted me for now. Encrypted zip file with password protection on an unlisted link So far it's downloading but it'll take 4-6 hours at this rate :/ If it doesn't work out, I'll PM you with my e-mail. Thanx for all the help guys, it's heartwarming to see
  17. Well then let's talk priorities. Do you think their priorities are to fix the game or release modules? Because right now, the CMRT patch isn't the only thing that's late. We were supposed to have alot of modules and packs released by now, but they have all been delayed because of this annoying bug. If BFC were really in it for the money, they'd have released a CMRT patch that didn't include the house bug fix and moved on to releasing more modules and packs to make money. So I'd think twice before starting to insinuate that BFC's priorities are with the allmighty $...
  18. Well, there's already 4-5 scenarios available for download (for FREE) that make use of the vehicle pack. So what's the problem here? That you don't get to pay extra for some scenarios and get them for free instead?
  19. Sure, and in the base game you get a gazillion times more than that at only 20$ more. You can't compare them like that. The base games are 55 bucks. The modules are 35 bucks. The packs are 20 bucks. The patches are 10 bucks. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. 20 bucks is not that much money. Could you get an entire new game for that? Sure. But then you could argue that the base game should only be 20 bucks since you can buy another game for that. And then the modules would have to be 5 bucks. And the packs and patches completely free. And BFC would be bankrupt and we wouldn't have any more games. 20 bucks is what THEY think it is worth for the effort made to make it. Don't agree? Then don't buy. But stop trying to convince the world that it's too much money because it really isn't. 20 bucks is not alot of money and 27 units is actually quite alot of units. Hell, I'm unemployed with no benefits (in other words, I get nothing from the government) and I still think it's worth 20 bucks. Just sit down and think about how many hours you have to work to earn 20 bucks. Then contemplate how many hours of fun you could get out of this pack. You'll notice that 20 bucks isn't much for the amount of fun you can have with the pack. Unless, of course, there are no units that interest you in the pack, but in that case you don't get to judge how valuable the pack is since it has no value to you in the first place.
  20. Since I simply cannot download it from the download link I got. Keep getting "network failure" type messages before it's downloaded and it downloads at horrendously slow speeds. Tried 7 times now (+1 time with IE, yes I got that desparate). So if anyone could put up an external private upload and PM me the link I'd be eternally grateful. I've payed 20$ for something that I can't even play right now, so it's kinda frustrating.
  21. Nice hyperbole there. But no. I count 27 new units (because, yes, things that aren't vehicles count too). And there are already scenarios being updated to use the new pack (so far I've counted 4 I think, but more are surely coming) and those cost you nothing at all. So no, this is not "a pizza you can not eat, but only lick and watch". We get it, you don't think it's worth the money. And that's fine. You are allowed to think that. What you aren't allowed to do is to imply that the price isn't fair or that we are somehow wrong in thinking it's a fair price. Because, guess what? We think it's worth the money. And you can't tell us it isn't.
  22. The problem with that approach is that suddenly scenario makers have to pick and choose from all the packs and if you don't happen to have the "sherman firefly" pack (or whatever pack) then you can't play alot of the scenarios. Keeping the modules down to a minimum removes that problem.
  23. As someone who voted left, and who knows active politicians in that party, I can unequivocally state that they are in no way "extreme". The extreme left are the syndicalists and autonoms, not the left party. Yeah they ussed to be communists... some time in the 60's and 70's. They haven't been communists in many many years, but the name change took a while (still, it's now 25 years since that happened). And the feminist initiativ are all over the place. They are part left, part right, part green but the main thing is the feminist thing. But yeah, living here I can tell you that most of the people who voted for SD are openly racist nowadays. It's suddenly become socially acceptable to have very racist or prejudice views in public. And it's making me sick to the stomache.
  24. We can and we do, despite 13% of the people being openly racist Alot of people confuse anti-racism with not being able to joke about anything.
