"Loud mouthed Dane 12 o'Clock. Let him have it boys."

Now this is one that I've not seen before, thanks!

It would certainly be a helpful addition.

I can't confirm any of the above, I'm sorry.
Although I understand that the "British" didn't issue any kind of warning against the Armada. As the Welsh couldn't give a monkey's about what happened to their English oppressors, and Jimmy the Six was too busy buggering his chums north of the border.
As for 1940. I'm just glad that "Paddy" got home from Dunkirk safely. I never knew his opinion about tea. But he liked to put Guinness in his Christmas pud recipe.

Our little local brewery is renovating a 12th Century building that was once a pub, but when they will be allowed to open for business is anyone's guess. And as it says in the good book, man cannot live by CM alone.

Ha that’s why I have a wine fridge! I am good for quite a bit. ;+)
Hahahaha.. All round to your place then. And anyone carrying a copy of the original game gets free booze for the duration.

They shut the pubs in the name of "lockdown". So now we have to stand shoulder to shoulder with other people in a supermarket to buy bottled beer. Ho hum.

Nah, these guys are from Elsass their making Flammkuchen.

I remember back in 2016, they started Le Tour there. It made for beautiful television.

It looks to my Limey eyes that this was taken from the east, so well inside of Normandy.

Sadly, I think the bushes on the vehicles look far too neat and tidy. More Hampton Court Garden Festival, than Ost Front 1944.

It needs a bit more work to my eyes. At the moment it looks more like an old style arcade game. The hedgerows don't form natural field boundaries, they just seems to be plonked on the map. Hopefully a bit more work can address that.

Great movie, Waterloo 1970. I couldn't find it streaming then found a nice version on youtube for free.
I enjoyed it as a kid. But, the last time I saw it I thought "What a load of Anglo-centric garbage". I'd rather get thrashed playing CM, than watch it again.

Damn, I should have copyrighted "New Model". Ho hum.

"Hey, let's fill her up"

Still call them "daughters of Satan" in my household. Ducks as Elizabeth hurls an empty quart pot at my noddle.

I have to say that I have just reinstalled the original "Rome: Total War" on my Win 7 machine and it still one of the greatest games of its type.
Their best title as far as I concerned. As opposed to the farcical "Empire", where Willem van Oranje and Gay King Billy die at different times despite being one and the same person.

The armour arc is clearly seen in the video at the end of the turn. It is strange that they could get so close. But, whatever is blocking their view is also blocking the view of the tank's bow mg.

To buy or not to buy? I seem to remember a certain playwright used to say that every time is was his turn to get the beers in.
Given the nature of your questions, can I ask how you found your way to this forum in the first place? I'd found out the basics before I even knew that there was a forum. In the meantime I'd echo the above advice. Find the theatre, or front, that most interests you, then give the demos a whirl.

Personally I think that this just proves that the Sikhs were hard as nails, Why waste a perfectly good PIAT round when we can sneak up until we are within kirpan range.

That is true. There are some interesting one off battles for both Arnhem city centre, and the surrounding area, but a campaign would have been nice to have. We have to bear in mind that CMx2 is far more complex than the original game so campaign design itself takes a lot more work. Also, the more work done on modern warfare titles, means less work done on WW2, and BFC being such a small company can't please us all. Also, players themselves enjoy designing campaigns away from WW2, even if it might not be my own cup of char.
In fact, I do think it was Dartford Mick and the Tax Dodgers who once said, "I met her today on the Utrechtseweg, with a map of Saigon in her hand. And I said, "Why are you carrying that?" She looked at me, as if I was a twat. And then she said, "Make your f*%king mind up, you Limey pratt. You either want Arnhem or you want Heaven and Earth, you either want Arnhem or you want Heaven and Earth. Ooh baby baby, just make yer f&^king mind up... repeat to fade.

I think the "What the Pitta" chain of eateries should have you picture in their windows.

There were far more than a "handful" of scenarios that came with CMBN-MG, although I suppose it depends on how many fingers you have. And there were two campaigns.

That probably explains why I'd not seen it before.
