New Website status update
Wicky replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Worked fine for me Any time BigDaddy is involved in a website project I'm asked to work on I get a feeling of dread as they hide away the functions in the domain control panel that most others provide willingly upfront. Saying that they have improved their online support from the days when they were only contactable over the phone. -

Toy UFO taken off shelves for ‘teaching kids that Nazis achieved space travel’ https://www.thelocal.de/20180619/toy-nazi-ufo-taken-off-market-after-criticism Odd headline as the German V2 rocket was first man-made object in 1944 to to travel into space by crossing the Kármán line, but the only folk to get upset will be the Kettlerians as the model doesn't have underslung Panther turrets... -

Mac High Sierra compatibility with CM
Wicky replied to Michael Emrys's topic in CM2 General Tech Support
CM works fine with my install of High Sierra 10.13.4 on early 2009 Mac Pro - 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB. Any old 32 bit software will soon get left behind later this year - CM apps are good to go as they are 64 bit. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208436 -

Not just them but anyone on the 'wrong' side inc folk who'd surrendered, forced laboured or were refugees - anyone who'd come into contact with the West. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/oct/13/stalins-defectors-by-mark-edele-from-ed-army-solders-to-hitlers-collaborators http://www.whale.to/b/lutton.html http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/frank-kelly-arnhem-pow.69143/

There were also Western Allied POWs falling into Russian hands at closing stages of WW2 , plus aircrew + others that Russians made life difficult in getting them returned - so understandably attitude was to keep Stalin sweet to ensure their return. Soviet ruthlessness was demonstrated by Russian POWs who'd fought for Germans and in turn captured by West knew their fate when it was agreed they''d be returned to Stalin, often preferred suicide than return 'home'.

Problem is how would the AI compute avoiding messing with its crunchies... This reminds me of why gun elevation limits isn't strictly modelled.
