I don't think that any Bren Carrier huffed a "Vickers". The clue is in the name. Although somewhat confusingly Vickers Gun Carriers did sometimes carry Dairy Ice Cream, allegedly. ...

It looks like you only hit it with paint balls.

Indeed. Better to keep it civil.
Yes, it is always best to keep things "civil" even in times of war as I tried telling the Stinkpots. In the meantime in the spirit of Basil Fawlty I shall refrain from mentioning the footy.

Oh, I have much harsher words than that for Crommers. But they don't belong on this forum.

Yes, when I was new to the game I would make a little sketch if I had about six or seven TRPs to play with.

The only good thing about their statues is target practice. And if you want to cuddle them, you need serious medical help.

You might also like to post them on Bootie's wonderful site.

It was a long time ago. But I seem to remember PzIVs in the last couple of missions. So they would be both out of place and time.

Haha. It would certainly be boring if we all thought the same way about music. Just imagine if George Martin had to choose between The Beatles and The Wurzels, and he went with the latter.

It's terrible. The electronic dirge is enough to put anyone with ears off for a start. And what the hell are Russian language street signs doing on this map? BFC need to fix that pretty damn sharpish.

I seem to remember Outlaws being marred by the inclusion of fictional German armour. Ho hum.

"Russia didn't become communist" Well you're right there, The Bolsheviks failed miserably to create a communist society, in the words of one Czech socialist back in '68 they only established a "party oligarchy". Of course, I was too busy watching Man Utd win the European Cup to bother about such things. I know that Ricky Lenin, Terry Trotsky and Stevie Stalin did go on to play for Felchester Rovers but that is a tad outside of the realm of CM.

I bumped into him in Tavistock Place the other day. I said "Oi, Vlad! You look like a bald version of Charlie Stewart." He was not amused.

I will post screenshots and Videos in the AAR. It's still ongoing. Maybe I'll include a soundtrack of a stuttering "Pop Goes the Weasle".
That should make for really entertaining viewing. Thanks in advance.

As Lady Bracknell might have said, "To lose one Panzer IV .... "

they are bunched up.
It sounds more like they are lined up. But, without screenshots it is hard to offer any more advice than that which our colonial cousin has already offered.

Sorry mate, that film is an utter shocker.
What? Do you mean that the Septics didn't roll barrels of oil down a bone dry hill to stop the Huns? How disappointing!

Sadly Amiens Tonight is cursed by troops missing from certain missions. But, if you can live with that it is still playable.
Courage and Fortitude is a work of fiction. But again, if you can live with that it is still playable.
Poppies is fun, and worth giving a go.
Carpiquet is best played if you have a powerful comp, due to both map size and troop numbers.
Scottish is a realistic portrayal of Operation Epsom. Awful weather, and SS reinforcements being thrown in to the battle. "Punishingly hard?" No. A tough challenge, yes.

And maybe 1/2 of Pearl Harbor (the fighty part not the lovey-dovey part).
I know that Pearl Harbor went out with Paul Simonon for a time. Luckily for them that was before the garbacious movie was made. Give me "Tora! Tora! Tora!" any day.

In terms of war films am not sure I have seen any really good ones recently - ie memorable ones that I would watch again (and again). My all-time favorites include Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, Saving Pvt Ryan, Patton, Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day, Hunt For Red October... Am sure there have been some newer good ones, but they simply don't come to mind immediately - so could not have been that compelling/memorable.
What do you guys like/remember immediately?
2 out of 7 ain't bad.

Oh, got you now.
Personally I think that War and Peace was the best thing Tony ever did, but that is outside of the time frame for CM.

Sir Anthony is a bit miffed about the lower case "y". But, he assures me that he won't sue.
New Module Coming for Blitz. What weapons and vehicles should there be?

Either "Move In To Germany" or "Kickin' Hitler's Butt" will do fine.
