Sequoia got a reaction from J Bennett in My thanks to all the playtesters.
It's the Holiday for giving thanks Thursday in the U.S. and while I'm grateful Battlefront does what it does, I wanted to give a special call out of thanks to an underappreciated by most group, the playtesters. Many of them put in countless hours of work for no payment, so thanks guys (any gals?), my hat's off to you. We wouldn't be where we are without you.

Sequoia reacted to danfrodo in Rome to Victory Release Date
good god, is this really even happening? this false equivalence bulls-t? "oh, well the allies did bad things too so everyone is equal." We are not blind or stupid as Aragorn likes to imply. We KNOW THE ALLIES DID BAD THINGS. But the allies weren't on a campaign of conquest and murder for all the resources of Eurasia, were they? And the allies were extremely merciful to their vanquished foes. The germans planned to impoverish, enslave, banish, or exterminate their vanquished foes. They did in fact impoverish/enslave/banish/exterminate everyone they conquered. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. The allied bombing campaigns of german and japanese cities constituted war crimes, there's no way to deny that. The allies did NOT do this to enslave those countries, they did it because they (wrongly) thought it would end the f___ing war and end the suffering sooner. Intent matters.
And having said that..... I am currently playing CMRT campaign as the germans. Because they have nice gear. and I already did the russian campaign.

No problem, though Wart may like the Alice in Wonderland ride with the Queen of Hearts yelling "off with their heads" !

"Sociology" is a subject matter, not a method. Some sociologists use scientific methods, some do not.
A common reason that the "hard" sciences seem to be more scientific is that the problems studied are often easier, measurement more accurate and precise, and the subject doesn't change so rapidly over time.

I think that's a stretch. Besides pretty much every modable game has fan mods.

Sorry things have been quiet. We hit a snag. The build that was supposed to fix the Sikh models and textures didn't quite get things sorted and left Bud dead in the water. Such is how software development goes sometimes. Both problems are being worked. In the mean time enjoy some of these cool shots I took of the Sikh soldier's that were fixed in the latest build.
These were taken on a hazy overcast day in July.

An example of how early desert war stuff could be adapted to late war Italy.

Nice, but I doubt any Gladiators were still in the theatre in 1943 other than possibly being training aircraft.

If you load the blender project files directly into blender which are included in the m48 & m60 download releases on my dropbox you will get seperate objects which can be assigned seperate textures. There is also an UV editor in blender but like I said I am not into uv editing and can´t provide feedback about differences or compatibiliy between max and blender.
Making Of videos of M48
Part 1:
Part 2:
Note to Part2: press F6 to open the menu which lets you decide which side should be cut away. You can copy/paste model parts between blender windows with usual CTRL+C or V commands.
I used the finished M60 for visual comparison and because it was easier for me to move all the relevant stuff (crew, muzzle positions etc.) to the M48. You can also see me assigning quickly vanilla textures from the t55mgun.bmp. The workflow is a bit rough as I run into issues because the turret,hull, and searchlight was one object which needed to be cut in order to create separate objects. What is not shown: ALL my custom models have a vanilla model base, in this case I used a T-55 hull object made invisible with blank.bmp. Without this my models wouldn´t display ingame.

M48 Patton Tank
In Action:
- textures again are vanilla CM textures but you can apply some Camo scheme and a more detailed track texture to make it look better. Textures also can be reassigned in Blender.
- track/turret works
- commander open up in decent looking place
- use it for the T55 and the M60 can be renamed to a T62 replacement
- removed cupola and commander MG and reworked the AA MG (can be removed too in blender)
- project file included
I nearly gave up on this one as turret, hull, and range finder were molded into one piece. I had to slice them into pieces. I recorded the process and will upload it for educational purposes.

Sequoia got a reaction from Sgt.Squarehead in How a tree trimming in Korea's DMZ almost started a war in 1976
I wasn't aware of this. I found the article interesting and thought it worth sharing.

P.S. Perhaps this is how Mord started out.

Not sure if I want to post here, reason, seems every time I post nobody else post afterwards
But I will see what happens. thanks to Aquila-CM and Sbobovyc, I've taking the plunge and try my hand in using Blender. At first I was cussing at the monitors but after awhile everything is working.
I use the M1064A3 MC and try to change it to just a M113 medic. Still not finished, still have work to do on the interior.
Have some ideas to work on and trying to add the M577 and M997 Medic vehicle.

Sequoia reacted to Frenchy56 in Med-evacs + Detailed Injuries.
I often hear even people in the Army repeat this.
5.56 was for standardization in NATO (really it's just the US that adopted 5.56 and NATO followed suit, among them some very angry Brits who had spent a decade designing an intermediate cartridge and a rifle to fire it from scratch).
Its advantages over 7.62 were that a grunt could hump more ammunition for the same weight. This is definitely more important to an infantryman than making sure you're wounding your enemy, who might be left behind anyway, and the 7.62 round's power was judged too excessive due to its effective range usually exceeding today's usual combat ranges, especially since these days where urban combat is much more common, and is an integral part of combat training today, unlike during WW2 for example where people just tossed grenades and went in guns blazing with rifles and SMG's.
In fact, the first 5.56 rounds fired in Vietnam, the M193 Ball, created wounds that were judged as too gruesome by the US military. They tumbled inside the target's body and made gory exit wounds. It was replaced by the Belgian SS109, the M855 in the US.

The new billboard flavor object can also be used as bulletin boards and SitMaps etc. Pretty cool. I have to learn to lower them so I can get them inside a building and also raise them so they can be placed on the second floor above a storefront etc.

Who knows, maybe there's a huge untapped market of Brazilians wanting to play Brazilians in a computer wargame.
