LOL so am I - working on the venafro map... and being slow. I think I am "limiting" myself to 1 km square at most.

CM doesn't simulate texting - at least not in the WW 2 series. Maybe we'll se that more in the modern ones.

not yet, just messing with kieme's industrial building mod and trying to create a factory look. seems like he posted an updated pack that i somehow missed as well.

Red Army troops advancing through an industrial plant in Borisov. Yep more map fiddling.

Nice first post!

Excuse me, just passing through to do a quick check. Hmm yep as suspected, the walls are covered in flaking lead paint and the cesspool seems to have a very high proportion of leaded gas. thanks, gotta go....quickly.

So one has to ask, is the cesspool full of leaded gas? Never mind I'll go check.

LOL that is why most violent crime appears at NASCAR events... Actually that does look kind of interesting. I had a friend who was a psychologist and worked on lead paint studies back it the late 70s/early 80s. At the time there was no linkage in that to the effects of leaded gasoline. Wonder what he would think of this now.

Still catching "The monster that devoured Cleveland" last I heard.

One thing to note from here in the gun toting west- Violent crime is steadily decreasing year over year. Why, no idea, but I have heard of one researcher who has tried to statistically tie it to Roe v Wade and the legalization of abortion. Is there anything to that, hell if I know I have not seen the research nor would I likely be able to validate/invalidate it. Point is a good part of the news is hype and media hysteria because that sells. There are a lot of stereotypes about the source of violent crimes/homicides and gangs. We have lots of TV shows to reinforce those myths and a news media that thinks news is repeating with lots of kewl graphics what people want to hear or already believe regardless of whether it is true. The homicide rate per 100,000 people in 2010 was roughly the same as in the 1950s. You'd never know that from the media though and the gun lobby plays it's part in that hype. You think the average person is gonna feel the need to go out and get a gun if they think society is actually getting safer? To get an accurate picture, the best place to go is FBI and Dept of Justice reporting. The true tragedy in gun violence is that it disproportionally affects the young. The "optimal" age to be killed by a handgun is 17. The reasons for that are very complicated and have more to do with societal issues than actual gun ownership. I have lived in urban environments since I was 16. I finished high school in an impoverished neighborhood of Brooklyn and was one a of a small minority of white kids there having moved from suburban Phila. One teacher had been shot the year before over a grade issue so I expected the worst. I never had any issues there and I have never felt the need to carry a gun and never saw an instance where having one was going to result in anything more than an escalation of tragedy. I have been involved in a fair number of attempted muggings - I lived between Brooklyn and Wash DC throughout the 1980s, the worst era for gun violence and homicide in the US. Never once considered buying a gun. I now live in walking distance from downtown San Jose and have never felt safer. My advice- stop watching the news media to understand the dynamics of poverty, guns, homicide and gang activity in the US. The media rarely has any interest in truly educating people, they need to sell stories. Watch the Fox news week on "Spring Break" if you want a clearer picture- they spent days talking about how bad it was for kids, the drinking, sex, where are the parents etc etc and then spent a couple days regaling each other about the great time they had on spring break drinking having sex etc. As Bugs Bunny would say "what a maroon."

good thing you got hit by that 75 or the third shot would likely have missed too.

I am betting I could suppress you with a taser.

holy s**t dude. Well the upside is you can now point to your time on CM as tactical training. Maybe even convince her to start. Next time I suggest taking some smoke canisters for concealment while you amble back to the car. Kudos to your son for having the balls to sit down to talk and the foresight to factor in distance. You've got a real tactician there. Send him back to look for more papers, he'll probably take down the crack houses as part of securing the area.

I am still wondering what the comment is that woke it from the dead.

when we were younger and could still read the type on these tiny little cardboard squares.

LOL, the church in the background.

hmm I thought they were just using an expression when they referred to the "god's eye" view of the battlefield... :eek:

Was his name by chance Ian Anderson?

sounds like you deleted everything but the Russian first squad. It is a pltn hq with 12 men and can be split.

damn, I thought he was just cracking a joke.

load game, look on bottom of screen.

says the guy who has his own software company churning out games with immediate patches for whatever requests a user has... oh wait no, wrong guy. This is just the snide peanut gallery dude. Never mind, false alarm.

Oh my goodness, do I sense a German weapon lovefest coming. Oh these are so exciting to watch, damn where is my camera?!

Ask him if he has been to a love hotel. He'll know what I mean. And no it isn't just for prostitution.

I don't think anyone has suggested that, we simply expected it to last a little longer.
