Can anyone tell me where and how I can turn Shadows off, I can't see any way in the in-game options, so can it be done elsewhere? Thanks.

This topic got seriously de-railed!

Yes, it appears to be much quieter than I remember it.

Nvm, I found it.

So whatever happened to THE thread? You know the one I mean, the one I can't remember! Used to have hours of fun reading the banter and taking part every so often, it's a shame if it has disppeared forever!

Edit: Although it shows me as a new member, I was a member of this Forum from way back when, certainly before 2006, which was when someone mentioned Eve Online and I asked what that was, the rest is history! I cannot find my original login details, hence the new member.

Just passed my 7th year of service in the British Army. Did 1 year and 3 months of initial and combat infantryman's training which was.... horrific! Joined the 1st Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment (Vikings) and was deployed to Afghanistan in late 2009. My company was posted to Musa Qaleh in Helmand province, IED's and small arms were common and a couple of times we encountered some very close IDF from an AGS-17 the Taliban had acquired which was probably the scariest thing I've ever come up against. Handed the AO over to the USMC at the end of tour and we freaked the **** out of them and stole an entire pallet of Gatorade, sorry about that!
I deployed to Kenya on exercise in 2011 and nearly got killed by an elephant, this sucked.
2012 saw me return to Helmand Province as an IED detection dog handler and my pooch found the largest IED of the summer campaign. Transferred to become a dog handler in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps and its where I'm at now.
Good to see another Viking on the forum, and good luck in your future postings.
I am a Viking Veteran, having served 14 years in 1 R Anglian from September 1969 to October 1983. I served in N Ireland, several times including a 2 year tour as Resident Battalion in Londonderry, 70-72, where I had the dubious honour of having 2 separate IRA men try to kill me on the same day. The first incident was as I was walking inside our base, when two high calibre bullets whizzed past me, the first into the grass in front of me near the cook-house, the second hit the wall next to me on the path I was walking on. Later that afternoon I was on duty on the City walls overlooking the Bogside when I was fired on from Free Derry corner by someone with a Thompson sub machine gun, all bullets went high. Those were my WTF moments whilst serving in the British Army.
I also served 4 years in West Germany during the Cold War, 2 years in Cyprus, a 6 month Operational tour in Belize, as well as short trips to Norway on Winter Warfare Training as part of our role as cannon fodder for NATO's Northern Flank. I also had a 2 week holiday in Malta playing for the Army(Cyprus) football team on a short 10 day visit, that was extended to 14 days due to the Hercules that was to take us back to Cyprus breaking down on three successive days. Oh and my main job was that of a Mortar Fire Controller(MFC).
