    Since the article with the screenshot specifically says contracts will be to UK firms, and there is zero mention of CM or BFC in either article, believe the safe conclusion is that the article writer simply used a screenshot from CMSF to get the point across and that neither involves CM or BFC.

    Sigh... :rolleyes:

  2. Just did a quick test

    Flammpanzer 38 area targeting 44m ahead* with a foxhole of allied personel at 55–60m away - and splash effect causes suppression & casualties.

    *Area Firing seems dependent on how it is set with regards to action squares - so depending on range can appear to be able to target 50m ahead but vehicle simply won't fire.

  3. 24 SAS were killed by a mortar strike in Termoli

    Following the taking of Sicily and shortly after the capture of Termoli on the Italian mainland, the Germans counter-attacked. Wiseman had just left his truck to talk to a messenger from his CO when the vehicle received a direct hit from a shell. His whole troop was killed or injured. It was, he said afterwards, the worst moment of his life.

    Art is something that is used to transmit emotions or otherwise some kind of meaning

    Not I imagine then for art school - entrance to them was from demonstrating some form of eye hand drawing ability - and this was honed by life drawing , first from plaster casts and then life drawing in the classical tradition. There was in acedemia / pre-camera a heirarchy for artists where the best emarked on careers as Figural / portraitists, then lower down Landscapes, then the lowly Still Life artists.

    Things now are a bit more flexible - Hitlers work reminds me of when I first attended life drawing at an One year Arts Foundation Course  (pre Uni) following A' Levels and I was seated next to an aspiring industrial designer - and he produced a wonderfuly drawn picture of the room inc plumbing/ radiators etc all in perfect perspective but where the nude model was meant to be was just a blank untouched silhouetted outline.   

    Here's what the precociously talented Picasso (b. 1881) and Dal (b. 1904) i were doing in their early teens.

    KEDO LWR was not built within the agreed deadlines.

    That was 2003 after "DPRK's revelation of its nuclear development program in September 2002" after North Korea committed not to develop nuclear weapons.  US supplied Oil was meant to tide them over until LWR came on line.   https://www.nti.org/learn/treaties-and-regimes/korean-peninsula-energy-development-organization-kedo/
