Always.

That’s a very good point. As I was doing this comic I realized there were so many interesting little engagements and even following one tank, like I did in the Apache comic. Some vehicles had fascinating careers, and a few BMPs led charmed lives, taking out enemy tanks etc. Likely material for another 3 comics, really, in this battle. But for now, my intention is to complete Once Upon a Time on the Western Front

Heinrich, thank you for really engaging with this thread as it went along. And your commentary then and now. The feedback I've received tells me that my experiment with what I think is a very different style of presentation (in part due to the alternate software) was still appealing. Every time one makes a significant change there are risks that it may not go over well, I'm glad that wasn't the case here. Little things like the picture in picture approach had me worried things would look to "busy" and cluttered, and I had to really think about when and where I'd use it and how to position the smaller pictures - yet still show enough to make each worthwhile examining more closely to see what is going on. Finally, this was an experiment to try to show just how lethal, confusing and impersonal modern warfare is.

Thank you! Thanks very much for considering!

@MOS:96B2P Awesome, thank you for taking the time to write answers to my questions, really appreciated. I will know better if others add their own thoughts but it’s my impression that the map on page 2 made things not end up confusing.

So for those of you that read this I wanted to ask, how was the narrow perspective (one squad, very few big picture overviews)? Was it all confusing? Did the confusion seem right, given the story, or was it just annoying? Did the map with locations and page numbers on page 2 help? How did you like the style - few text balloons and no onomatopoeia (“Boom, Bang, Pow”) and the comic had a lot more text in straightforward paragraphs, compared to my other comics. How about the picture-in-picture panels? I wanted them to let me show a large shot, but also to be able to add additional shots that show more information and cover the main image where there is irrelevant info. At some point I have to do what I think is best from a creator’s standpoint, but I am always interested in hearing constructive feedback, whether about what I asked above or anything else.

It was brutal. A lot harder than I expected. But then @IanLis good at what he does. Thank you, and thank you for the comments along the way. Nice to get some reactions and feedback. You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, that was unexpected. I thought he had more infantry in the village. One minute we were fighting hard and then suddenly, you could hear the birds singing in the silence.

And then... there is the after-End end...

The last gasp before... A Minion invasion! Run!

Logging into the Canadian store simply does not work. I can login ti the UK store easily but can’t place an order on it due to my address.

Given they are free I wonder if it would not be possible for us to pool our resources and share them here? I could not get the ones from weeks 2, and 3. I think week 4 is next week. I’ve had multiple emails back and forth with their staff but no resolution yet.

Just a small cliff... more like a curb, than a cliff! Yes, and you were a good sport to play on despite being down to a handful of men!

Huh... you and me both, man. Too bad the most recent version was...less than stellar. I started with the original, years ago.

I'm sorry this has been so frustrating for you. I've helped a friend with a recent iMac, and I have a MacBook Pro myself. I've seen the black screen with CMRT upon completing install and licencing. The fix is unintuitive as you'd not expect to need to do it, but actually quite easy, and literally requires nothing more than copying a file. https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/help/article/136663 In short: 1) Right click on the application (CM Red Thunder), and click COPY 2) PASTE the application to your desktop. 3) Delete the original 4) Copy the desktop version back to the CMRT install folder This has fixed the issue every time, assuming the install and licencing is done correctly in the first place. I hope it works for you.
