  1. Oh the irony - this must be the best international viewing figures for the Victory Parade in years - it is even being shown live on the Daily Telegraph paper site in the UK. Who gets the advertising slots ?
  2. From FT today 11:00 am: Some of Europe’s largest energy companies are preparing to use a new payment system for Russian gas demanded by the Kremlin, which critics say will undercut EU sanctions, threaten the bloc’s unity and deliver billions in cash to Russia’s economy. Gas distributors in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia are planning to open rouble accounts at Gazprombank in Switzerland in order to satisfy a Russian requirement for payments in its own currency, according to people with knowledge of the preparations. The groups include two of the single largest importers of Russian gas: Düsseldorf-based Uniper and Vienna-based OMV.
  3. @Haiduk I think you would be better offer just stealing some pick-up from the nearest Toyota dealership.
  4. Like Napoleon on the night before Waterloo, Putin thought he had a 90% chance of winning. But the dice rolled badly. -- The rest is history. Or will be for a long time.
  5. Scuttling the Moskva is part of the Russian plan to make Ukrainian forces in the Donbas reveal their positions through loud cheering and laughter.
  6. CMBS Ukraine 2022 Scenario 1 The Coup - scenario ends 14 April 2022 Russia victory objectives: 1. Remove Zelensky 2. Install puppet administation 3. Occupy Ukraine east of Kiev 4. Occupy Ukraine west to Lvov Russia score = 0 --------------- CMBS Ukraine 2022 Scenario 2 The Pause - scenario ends 31st May 2022 Russia victory objectives: 1. Putin still in power 2. Crimea still in Russian hands 3. South and East Ukraine "de-nazified" (obliterated, massacred, etc..) 4. 100,000 Russian boots still in Ukraine 5. Bonus objective: Germany still buying gas. ----------- Any bets on Russian points at the scenario end?
  7. I've got the GOG versions and they work OK - my laptops are all pretty low powered. Sometimes I have to alt - tab others not. I'm beginning to think it depends on what I might have been doing before e.g. game, internet or work but the sample size is too small. Last night I played a scenario on my AMD powered Lenovo ideapad330 and it was fine.
  8. I'm with Kump. I still prefer CMx1 - mostly the quick battles. I know the AI does suicide charges so I don't regard a win as a real win.
  9. So does that make it not so much a Char B as a charred B ?
  10. Come on Wart - shake your box of tricks up and give us another game.
  11. Having a cup of tea led to the Villers Bocage "brew up" didn't it?
  12. Avro ? or Pelmet = valance = The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. ------ It's six o'clock in the morning. Why am I writing this nonsense? Nurse, nurse ....
  13. Principles or principals? In principle I think the principals of a firm should explain their game design principles. ------ I usually ost (=post) drunk, so that's my excuse (error picked up just in time) --- A very short book called "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White may help the confused.
  14. What's up pussycat? I'd like to say the dogs didn't even scratch the paintwork on my cats but they probably did which rather lowers their resale value. Also on the review map screen (which I didn't even know existed until now) - I see what my best Puma did - Oak leaves for that lad. Anyway, this was of course a fixer because of the restarts, but it would be good to win a war and not have any casualties - a bit like the days of Omdurman and "We have the Maxim, and they do not." You can see where all my Pumas are and the infantry guns that achieved nothing. This was WEGO on Veteran but I bet some of you could do it realtime on elite.
  15. Major German victory with 14 minutes still to go. No casualties Ok, a couple of restarts but only because my troops disobeyed orders. They will be punished later. I'd give you a screenshot if I could reduce it to the bizarrely precise limit of 431.17 kB
