  1. Juju Yes, getting that font would be lovely. Thanks. I am always interested in unusual fonts. Do you need an email address or??
  2. I like the font that you use for your labels "Juju's stylized . . ". What is that?
  3. Volksgrenadier, Can you upload a picture or something from this mod. There s no explanation of what this is so additional information about what it does would be helpful.
  4. I am enjoying the Soviet campaign and this is the first campaign that I have ever played for any CMx2 games. It is challenging and I have not yet won a total victory (I cannot remember but perhaps in scenario 2 but I have forgotten) and now am on scenario 4. So far, especially Scenario 3, it was a slog and I ended up taking a lot more casualties as the Soviets than I ever would have as either the Western Allies or the Germans. But that is the point I guess as to why I am enjoy it. I too just want to relax but still want a challenge. Most realistic scenarios would probably be a cake walk if played according to absolute historical accuracy. I am sure I would learn something but not enjoy it as much. I like these more even evenly matched ones. BTW - Does anyone know how many scenarios there are in the Soviet campaign?
  5. Yes, I agree that the donation should be more prominent. I feel bad that I have downloaded so much lately and would like to help you defer the costs. Also, larger preview pics in the downloads screen.
  6. I run an SSD with the CMx2 games on it. It still loads fairly slowly. 180gb SSD i5 - 3570k 16gb RAM 7850 2 Gbs But then I also have 30-40 mods so I imagine that this is a major factor in slowness. It gives me time to go upstairs and make myself a cup of coffee.
  7. Is it possible to have the water under the water lilies a little bluer? It looks very grey and when beside a river, it does not blend in as well. It does look fantastic though and I am using it but perhaps a bluer edition may look even better.
  8. I had a Russian flame team attack a SdKfz 251 (dismounted) and it emptied its whole fuel tank and the vehicle was not KO'd. OT but still no luck.
  9. All I can say is that I enjoyed the mod, no one was attacking anyone and no one should look for insults when none were given. The "old guard" are a fairly decent bunch. Take it at that.
  10. I will have to go back and check as I could not see him anywhere.
  11. While looking at my units for the Soviet campaign , I noticed that my SU-76Ms say they have 4 crew members but when looking at the vehicles, I can only see 3. Is this an abstraction or are they missing a pixeltruppen crew member?
  12. Ian, I must have put in a wrong search term or perhaps too generalized. Greenfish does work very well though and is very easy to use for simple editing. I am now in the process of cobbling together a few different peoples work to get exactly what I want. It is kind of fun when I have some spare time to play around. People though do have some skill around here as some of the blending of colours is amazing.
  13. I also just downloaded Greenfish and it does work very well. The problem that I had was that it was very difficult to find. I finally found it on a Chinese language website and I had to get my wife to translate for me. Not the most ideal. If you also have trouble finding it, I might have the install file somewhere.
  14. The bizarre and irrational behaviour of Hitler could also be attributed to Syphilis. There is some evidence that he may have contracted syphilis during the first world war. He was attended to by a Dr that specialized in treating syphilitic cases. The cure of the time was mercury, which he was prescribed, and it could have been the side-effects of the mercury (mad-hatters syndrome) or from the brain slowly deteriorating from the neurosyphilis disease. The symptoms include brain damage: Depending on which part is damaged, symptoms could range from motor effects (such as tremors) to mood disorders (such as having delusions of grandeur). Muscle weakness, pain, decreased muscle coordination, and loss of movement of the limbs are possible. There is actually much to be said for physical and psychological effects on leadership. You can see it in Meade (Peninsula Campaign) as well as Napoleon (Waterloo) and General John Bell Hood (Tennessee). This does not excuse but may explain some of his behaviour.
  15. It does look good. Is it possible though to change the current Casualty indicator to a thick dull red line. I find the text distracting on a yellow wounded background. Or perhaps a light grey weapon with a dull red line through it?
  16. Can we ask what the wrinkles were? Would they not be treated as a mortar that is mobile? And by that I mean, always positioned but housed in a vehicle; like the AA guns that are on halftracks or could be set up independently on the ground.
  17. They look good and I congratulate you on finding the symbols. I will definitely give them a try. What program did you use to create the icons? I would not mind also just trying this out myself as a self-mod and this may be just small enough to be manageable (and I have no artistic skill so vehicles and faces are never an option)
  18. DeeYay, Don't be detracted by the slightly snide remarks. I think they cannot believe you asked this question in the first place. Yes, it is definitely worth the money in my case (and everyone is different). I get great enjoyment out of these games and if money is tight, wait a while, save up for a few months and buy it, maybe check out the demo. If this is your form of entertainment, then I think it is worth it as I only have paid about 10 cents (and that's Canadian cents) per hour of play. Even renting a bad movie or even worse, going to see a bad movie (I am looking at you Captain America) cost about $8 per hour. Then there are the mods (we have a great group of guys that mod these WWII games to the hilt - much more so than CM:Afghanistan) and the additional scenarios and the quick battles that you should be playing this game for about 5-10 years to come. Perhaps even play a PBEM game against a bad opponent like me and you will feel King of the world. See, this game even battles low self-esteem. What more can you ask for?
  19. How does one get a full circle covered arc? I can get a half-circle but I saw in ChrisND twitch videos, him setting a full circle arc. In all my time, I have never been able to find that key. Perhaps I missed it in the manual also. I also like the idea of a short halt and a fire command, like we do with pause but instead, just add a fire on X for 15 seconds and then continue moving.
  20. Thanks for the download, I will give it a try.
  21. **Correction Works Base Markers (now with the red circle wounded icons that pop up - look good) Icons_German_Blue (now they work, not sure why not before) Special Equipment Icons (look nice) Ratings (though not integrated into the general look and feel) Go-Button (but it looks terrible and off centre) Command & Control (radio, visual, voice)
  22. *Base Markers - work (for the casualty crosses) *ZZZ_CMFI Icons_German Blue - Do not Work I have got to stop renaming the mods but I like to rename to UI - XXX Graphics - XXX Effects - XXX To keep things straight. I was really hoping that the unit markers would work as I have played with them for so long, I forget what each of the vanilla icons represent.
  23. I actually noticed it on Chris' Twitch feed but thought it was just a beta thing. I guess a little duct tape on the screen will save my sanity.
  24. Love the game. Bought, installed and played a short game. Great intro music also. I even like most of the interface. Great job! One question, the action button you press to start/end a turn. It keeps flashing. It is driving me nuts. Is this a bug or is it supposed to flash the entire time? Also, I noticed that this loads extremely fast and the turns are faster but there seems to be a delay when I click on a unit. About 1-2 seconds but it can be distracting when you expect it is act instantaneously. Could it be one of my settings (though I clicked ATI off) i5-3570 7850 with 2 Gigs Ram Intel SSD
  25. The manual says that the IS2 (Late) had a 12.7mm added. I do not see any ammo for it though listed. Is it supposed to be available to the unbuttoned commander?
