Enough for tonight or I may not go to bed at all. really beautiful guys, the maps, sound effects, vehicle models. It's Christmas early. Funniest part was hearing my pixeltruppen muttering "take a look at that" and me responding "oh yeah!"

Whew finally completed download and installation. Will probably only get through the briefing and a look at the map but dang it looks nice.

Next thing you know he'll be saying how great the actual game is....man I really need to work on my own time machine.

Be patient. Took me a while to connect, but am downloading now. Hopefully it won't be interrupted. :-P

Much appreciated, the upside is the announcement says the full game will be out in a few days anyway. Patience young Skywalker..easy to say for a garden gnome wannabe.

Better say it now as you guys aren't likely to hear from me anytime soon. Thanks for all the hard work and the commitment to make a superior product. You guys rock. Man my boss is gonna hate you when I show up tomorrow to burnt out to work.

woohoo it is official, outstanding! Oh gawd I am gonna be fried at work tomorrow.

same here, I am waiting till I see it from them. last thing I need is to hose my computer just before it is released.

Don't go to Casablanca. It was a foul smelling disappointment. Imagine diesel fumes, rotting garbage and urine. Then the dead dogs left by the side of the Souk, yeah a fun trip thank goodness it was business. Rabat is much nicer.

LOL it is just so wrong that you be post 300, but it feels so right. :-P

It will just morph into the game release refresh thread and then the CW release refresh thread....

At first I thought this was one of the funnier comments in the Peng Thread and a refreshing break from the Justin Bieber refresh spasm frenzy. I used to come in here to see how the big boys set the standard (I didn't say where) but you guys just got usurped by a noob on your (well Shaw's) own idea. Man this is just sad.

Everybody who is anybody and nobody who isn't somebody is here so why the hell not. I'd twiddle my thumbs but I'd drop my beer.

At this point my wife is probably wishing it was porn. Eventually I would be done and could go finish the work on the kitchen remodel. Now that the Paulaner is gone I may have to take a break and go buy more beer. Somehow I don't think "honey can you go buy me beer, I don't want to take a chance I might miss the release of a demo" is gonna fly.

Stop torturing the refresh monkeys or animal control will be paying you a visit. Hell folks are probably parsing your blood pressure rate and breathing to see if there as a clue to release. EDIT: That "came" out wrong. I meant game release... at least I think I meant the game. And ANYTIME is a good time to investigate better beer... speaking of which I believe I have a cold Paulaner in the fridge. Time to go refresh something else.

Well this is one of those times where I would be extremely happy to be way off base and totally wrong. Here is hoping to that being the case!

I had a similar question in regards to WP. In the accounts I have read there seemed to be a trend of firing WP at German tanks at least in the Lorraine campaign which frequently induced the green German crews in the Pz Bdes to abandon the tank. I don't know that it is documented well enough of frequently enough to be included, but was an interesting tactic.

Actually that isn't what he said. Once again we are trying to parse a statement, read into it what we want and figure out a release date. All Steve said was check tomorrow (because odds are they aren't open now unless you do it online) and then make a decision. No reference whatsoever that you need to do anything by X date though obviously if you want to cancel the sooner the better just in case it is released. Sorry if that is a downer but I have yet to see anything remoely resembling an actual release is imminent statement, though I do keep hoping for it. Edit: hhmmm perhaps I have to eat my words....... It doesn't quite say imminent, but it does imply it is very close.

Honestly I think this is just begging for a best caption thread. "What the hell do you mean you think you wrapped your lunch in the assembly instructions. You stupid git!"

CAD fight! CAD fight!! Sorry I just couldn't resist.

Hence the development of the M3A1 stepladder.

See this is how myths get started - I saw this tank. This pic was actually taken in East LA. If you look from the side you'll see the blocks they left it on after stealing the bogie wheels.

Now that was funny!

I resemble that remark

When you say revision, it isn't clear what you are directing that at. I think actually no one so far has disagreed with the above and no one has said the Germans shrugged off the air offensive (or maybe I missed that). I think the only disagreement is the impact directly on armored vehicles has been found to be very overstated. The overall impact on German operations however I think all would agree was severe. Everything from transport and supply columns, artillery batteries, supply dumps, HQ units, bridges, crossroad towns etc was at the mercy of TAC AIR.
