Congratulations on getting out of you comfort zone! I can't wait for Steve engaging with average customers on the Steam forum

Why turn comments off?
That's pretty obvious, at least to me. It's not some teenager YT channel.

My number one wish is to have working and realistic pathfinding routines or at least being able to give "follow the road" order to a group of vehicles.
In my current game I've received a company size tank reinforcements. Now I have to give a detailed movement orders to every single vehicle, just to make sure that they arrive ok to the frontline. It's completely mundane, boring and unproductive task. It often makes me quit the scenario that I was excited about, because I feel that I'm better off reading a book or watching a series than repeating over and over this exercise.

Chris, I'm happy to continue our CMBS game.

A Russian politician wants to prosecute a German journalist, who questions the Russian interpretation of the Prokhrovka Battle.

I don't believe for a moment that the Russians assassinated their own warlords. Makes no sense. Who but the Ukrainians would have the motive to do so?
It would make a complete sense, for example to maintain the credible deniability. Those "freedom fighters" imported from Russia knew too much and after the main hostilities ended, they become superfluous. I really doubt that the Ukrainians had capabilities, that would allow them to take down the separatists leaders - this would be the less likely probability for me. It could be Russia, but most likely they were killed in mafia style score settings, since in the post war reality, they effectively become the ring leaders of criminal organisations. Remember Arkan from the Bosnian War? He was also a warlord and a war criminal and was killed either by other criminals or by his former paymasters.

Interesting.. I just ordered this book. Will read it and whip out a Scenario after I finish reading the book. Never done any Campaigns but I can at least do a really good scenario. Want to get all the accurate details and such. Will post again when finished. LOL probably in a month or two.
Great news! You Sir are amazing!

I'm reading a book about the Aegean campaign of 1943. Who knew that in late 1943 the Germans conducted successful airborne operation and defeated the British thanks to... the air superiority...

I'm posting it here to encourage the modders to look at this campaign. It would fit perfectly into the CMFI scope. -

I would wait a few more months for more scenarios.
Yep, me too. Let's hope that finally it will be more than 8.

Great news! Thanks.
The product page for Rome to Victory says that it has 2 campaigns and 8 standalone battles. I assume that should be 18 standalone battles, to bring it in line with the other similarly priced modules? (Even the $10 battle packs have had a campaign and 10+ battles....)
Is that the case? That's 50% less content than GL module.

Take care Chris. Let me know when you're ready. I hope you'll recover soon.

Here is a free book for Kindle by a great writer. Well worth your time:
I just go myself an ebook for free. Can you believe that?! Thank you Sir!

Creating 3D models is probably one of the most expensive parts of making a computer game. So given the Battlefront's limited resources, hoping that they will invest their time and $ in some secondary units, is a pipe dream.

The Germans are the only NATO country that uses 30mms, as far as I know.
Apart from Germans, there's 30mm cannon on Spanish Pizarro APC and Polish Rosomak. US Army was pretty impressed with the performance of Rosomaks in Afghanistan.

I believe the plan is to either upgun or replace the Bradley. Replacement would have larger caliber.
They are thinking of 50mm. So here it is - finally the new APC will have the gun caliber of Panzer III. I respect that

Great, thanks for the update.
As you were working on stuff, the Syrian tactical map in the scenario UK Outmanoeuvred, shows British arty and air assets instead of Syrian:

those were already done. Only the campaigns were unfinished work as they had to be unpacked and redesigned one by one etc.
OK, thanks. So basically, what still needs to be done, are the British, Canadian and Dutch campaigns?

Will the stand alone scenarios from the NATO module be updated too?

Numerals are entirely of Hindu origin actually. Arabs/Muslims took over a lot of their 'wisdom' from the culture of the people they conquered.
Yes, but the Arabs hold the trademark and everybody thinks it was them. Just like Edison and the bulb.

He’s got a great series of videos. Well worth checking out.
For me the best thing about his channel is, that he often bases his research on the German sources, that are normally not available for the English speaking crowd.

Naturally we'll have to start charging licensing fees for our intellectual property once we leave the EU.
You could start with the ungrateful colonials from over the pond. But I'm afraid if we go down that way, the Arabs may start charging everybody for the use of their numerals.

17 shoots to kill a Stalin tank. This is consistent with my experience from this game.
Exciting news about Battlefront and Slitherine

About a year ago or so I played a SF scenario against Chieftain. He gave up and seemed to be pretty frustrated because his troops didn't respond as intended. As an ex tanker he was plotting some elaborate vehicle moves an they just don't work very well given the issues with the pathfinding. Maybe he cooled down since then and got a new perspective on the game?
