  1. Here in Finland WW2 is covered pretty extensively, spanning all the way until secondary school. Nazi atrocities are covered in detail, but also the brutalities the allies inflicted upon civilians, such as Dresden or the nukes. All in all a pretty balanced view on things.
    Translates to:

    "We can go so far up the scales of 'goodness AND of badness' that we are pretty .... balanced, ceteris paribus! :D

  2. Hello, I'm Tanya and I was wondering if you all knew that today is JonS BIRTHDAY? Well it's extra special because it's his 40th, yes I know, very old isn't he ... I guess you've got that sinking feeling, why didn't I send a gift? It will never reach him in time now ... gosh, maybe you could still do something ....

    How about 40,000 views on this thread?

    that would make him VERY happy!

    Cheers everyone

    Tanya

    I believe the wine is all long gone now? ;-)

  3. I suggest downloading the latest CMSF Demo with the NATO module and see how that runs for you. CM Normandy is most likely going to perform a bit worse than the CMSF Demo in my estimation, primarily due to more foliage/trees, water effects and possibly more and varied textures.

    CPU and RAM-wise I believe you should be fine (CM games are only 32-bit). A Radeon Mobility 3650 is a moderate graphics performer for laptops and it should be 'OK' for CM Normandy, but it will most likely not do too well for larger battles (units, map size, etc.) without reducing the model and texture quality settings.

    Thank you for your answer Schrull. The Demo of CMSF runs fine on my specs.

    Seems even If I do have to trade off some less sizzle for steak in CM:BN, at least I'll still eat.

  4. Has this been mentioned before, the minimum + recommended hardware requirements for Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy title?

    Got a laptop with

    --Windows Vista (32 bit)

    --2,50 Ghz Intel Core2 Duo (T9300)

    --4 Gig RAM

    --ATi Mobility Radeon HD 3650

    So I should be safe for at least some recommended hardware requirements for the game, or not?

    I know swimming in molasses is possible, but will it be practical?

  5. ... Of course there are still a few mopers who only come here to knock the game because they were disappointed that it wasn't a WW2 game... which I find rather bizarre.

    As the latest WW2 version is in the offing, I expect that a few more of this kind of person to emerge from the depths of the CMx1 boards, to be here, lurking for news of CM:N, and who knows, may even make an appearance in this very thread (if we're lucky).

    Watch it sonny! I'm a very deep lurker ....
  6. Hey Winecape- How are things in the refereeing world? I have been meaning to ask you for some stories related to the World Cup and if you attended any games.
    And did I attend games :D Maradonna takes the cake for his antics & theatrics. I mean, who wears TWO watches as a fashion accessory? Sometimes it was more amusing & entertaining seeing "the great one" juggling the ball on the sidelines then actual play.

    I was an "referee analyst" for the local national broadcaster and met coaches, players and referees. Short of, "uhm, yeah, the ref screwed up here", I also had to explain possibly why. The point gets (usually understood) when I, for the umpteemph time, quote Paul Durkin:

    Although television replays shows 29 different angles on the field of play, the only angle they do not show is the referee's one. It's time for video spectacles for refs then, not?
