I like your profile, Widukind. "Ja, aber Scharfschütze?"

It must be, jamxo, but not 100% sure. I have so many mods for CMBN installed I can't say for certain. But Vein made a whole series of superb mods, so it's probably his. The foliage of this mod looks exactly like the ones you see on pictures of British infantry in Normandy.

Famous last words.

Absolutely. Much can be learned from the Cold War team by the FR team. Although I suspect the latter is as frustrated about the whole shambles as I am.

Great screenshots, jamxo. I think that LS's amazing Hedgerow Hell mod made CMBN the best looking game of all. Another must have mod for me is the British helmet foliage mod. A small mod but it makes the British soldiers look so much better.

I was afraid of this situation from the start. After all the delay over the past years, we're now in the so-called pre-order phase which can be dragged on for months and months, like RtV. This module has been so badly handled that nothing surprises me anymore. Most people moved on to Cold War. While still a month away, there's at least a release date for that.

My wife FULLY agrees with you.

To awake one morning, checking your e-mail to discover that Fire and Rubble is FINALLY available...

Well, when we go to Norh Africa we simply must have them.

And the Brits! I like playing as the Brits too!

Coming weekend six weeks since pre-order. Is it finally going to happen?

The unreliability and complexity of the Panther wouldn't make it my choice out of those three. I would probably go for the T-34/85. The number of runners in Panther units only reached an acceptable level in the last year of the war.

Because Putin is a politician? And not just any politician. A rather UNIQUE one, I would say. But apparently you don't share that view, which is fine by me.

No, don't. On this forum you're allowed to express your opinion. I'm sure Lethaface fully agrees. Let's not get too sensitive or demonize each other (as I personally experienced on several occassions), but let's keep this forum open minded and in good spirit.

I think the Russian military is a lot better than we think. That will also be shown in CMCW, I expect.

This isn't a parade anywhere in the world. It's a propaganda show by a regime that starts unjustified wars, poisons people and tries to destabilize other countries. In my eyes that makes it rather different, wouldn't you agree?

Everything considered had the Russians the best tanks of the war.

Impressive propaganda show, that must be said.

No prisoners?

Indeed. Very impressed. War is a dirty business.

Utopian games can be great. Same as non-historical or fictional scenarios.

Imagine a scenario with Bergepanther recovering some bugged Panthers...

Very nice, Jamxo

Good times. Looking at the AAR that's raging at the CMCW forum I think I will join the Americans in their fight against the Reds. Or even the other way around, although I will never admit that of course.
