I sure do hate being caught out in a barrage.  It's the worst.  Sorry Dude.

[CAAR - CMFI Rome To Victory Beta - The Kirpan & the Rhino]

What's the range?  Maybe sherman MG gunner will fire first and cause 88 crew to be slow.  That's what I always hope.  and the 88 usually wins.

very racist and also elitist.  as if the rest of us are no good at whinging.  Or whingeing.  or whining.

thanks for that tip, warrenpeace.  I've got that on my wishlist and wasn't sure whether it added much to my knowledge but if it's excellent and just first two years there might be some stuff I don't know in detail

There's a ten year difference between Black Sea and Shock Force. If they're going to make a new title I'd prefer them going back 20, 30, 40, 50 years! Aren't you curious to find out who'd win in a duel between an M47 MBT and a T54?

HECK YES I'M INTERESTED!!

[Game feature I miss]

that would be really cool

Dang, looks like I need some time on the eastern front.  But that costs me time away from SF2.  which impedes my progress in Normandy which keeps me stalled in Italy.  I need to win the lottery so I can get more time to play.

[Here is What I Dont Understand about BF?]

part of the equation of staffing is the addressable market.  If BF adds more people, will it lead to more customers?  Will the market grow?  Yes, they will get new stuff out faster can they go fast enough to pay all the new people if the market size is relatively fixed?

Hey John, how did I miss this?  Sorry for delayed response.  That is a super cool diorama, thanks for sharing.  I don't know if the show was shot on location but the terrain was like that in the show.  Terrible hills & ravines.  The Brit leaders didn't understand what they were up against, terrain-wise, until it was too late.  

RockinHarry, I read that one also, learned a lot about what it was like to ride in those things for extended periods.

I have Spearhead, it was on kindle sale one day for super cheap.  I first want to finish The Liri Valley and Gustav Line, two more in the Canadian series.

And while this is a book thread, I'll thrown in a show: Gallipoli, available on amazon prime.  Made recently in Australia, VERY well done historical fiction. 7 part series, definitely had good budget, it's not cheap anywhere.  some solid small arms WW1 action.  based off this novel:

[Online magazine posted BF's game screenshot]

Yeah, I would love to see N Africa early and mid.  Dang that would be fun.  R2V will be fun I think, but those 1945 battles in the next RT are gonna be nuts.

He got over the bridge at least. I didn't get that far when I played that one.

[SF2 or Black Sea for first modern CM game?]

did I do this right?  I am supposed to just paste in the link to imgur?

[SF2 or Black Sea for first modern CM game?]

here's my first try at adding pictures.  Quality poor, probably because I used simple screen capture.  No mods, just base shock force 2.  Task Force Thunder, ~16 minutes in. 

Stupid mistake creeping my stryker a little too far, hit by concealed RPG team.  If I just had 4 shermans I could blow this whole place to pieces......

Holy f**k!!  they have exploding cars!  I saw this funny icon over a car & I thought "what does that mean?".  Then it started driving toward my troops at full speed and I realized what it was.  It managed to get next to a building w one of my squads but I had moved them out just in time.  Didn't expect exploding cars. 

[A Tiger having a bad day]

wow, that is great

[Early-War CM?]

I am heavily biased toward allies, being from the USA.  But when I do play as germans it's really a lot of fun to have that great gear.  Nice to be on the safe side of an MG42 for a change.
