I've never had units randomly charge at the enemy that weren't panicked or routing, but I have many times accidentally selected an entire formation and had them move where I didn't want them to that way just like Artkin said, so unless you have a video of it showing otherwise I'm guessing that was the issue.

What does the Geneva convention say about meme-ing as hard as Ukraine does? Certainly, their media accounts aren't taking any prisoners.
 
Probably the best social media since Wendy's went rogue and reshaped what was expected of corporate accounts. In the face of something so calamitous as a war of aggression by barbarians, it takes some big balls for official MoD accounts to start joking around.

Just finished the Unter den Linden map...
 

 

 

 
 

Just finished building the Unter den Linden map...

 

 

They certainly were bud... I saw loads of bands and still do, I even saw the Clash in 81...lol Man im gettin old lol
 

his vocal there is amazing- the pain and outrage in his voice... i'd put this song right up there with the pogues' version of 'and the band played waltzing matilda'  for gut impact.  when i saw them -  '85-'87ish- they opened for maybe u2 or the alarm, someone celtic and not very subtle, iirc. fun times.
 i was wondering- could you be persuaded to take on a map commission? i'd be willing to talk compensation, of course.  it would be a visual update to the 'boys against men'  market garden map and scenario.   let me know by pm if it's something you'd be  interested in.
 
 

Wow wish I saw them in the 80s, this song is awesome the end is about how he thought he was going home...but Stalin decided they had become to westernised and sent them to a Gulag in Siberia instead.... Unbelievable...

great footage, and thanks for the superintense mike scott tune.  i saw the waterboys b.i.t.d., opening for someone i can't remember.  i liked the show but never delved any deeper into them.  might have to fix that now....
 
cheers,

US SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health.
 

Found some real Berlin footage and put this awesome track, by The Waterboys called Red Army Blues.
 

Really beautiful work.   I spend more time looking at the buildings than playing.

Hey just finished the Potsdamer Platz map for the Battle of Berlin Mod, i'm planning to upload to Bootie phaze 2 of the mod, including at least 5 new scenarios and updated buildings and flavours. The whole mod is a work in progress so expect updates regularly.
This map includes some famous landmarks including:
Saarland Straße, Leipziger Platz and Straße, Potsdamer Platz, Bahnhof and Straße, The Columbushaus (one of Berlin's tallest buildings at the time), also the New Reichs Chancellery, Herrenhaus, Hotel Palast, and Vaterland Haus.
Also how awful must it to have been a civilian during these last days in Berlin. Having to que for food and water everyday, living in cellars and shelters. Coming to ground level was very dangerous but had to be done. And then if you were a female, (no matter what age) the Soviets would steal your watches and jewellery and rape you, one German Women said, 'better to have a Russian on your belly than the USAAF on your head', what a choice!!!
Revenge seems to have been the order of the day, for what the Germans did in their countries during the advance and retreat. I read somewhere a Soviet soldier couldn't believe why the Germans invaded the Soviet Union, he saw the industrial farming, that every house had electricity, running water and gas. Every street was paved and the huge, once beautiful classical buildings, impressed but made him even more angry. He couldn't understand what the Nazis wanted from their backward country.

I feel like the Russian's biggest concern right now is cutting the internet connection to Crimea and getting a barrage battalion to the Kerch bridge to stop all those tourists disappearing into the Motherland with footage.

Putting the "third world" into the "third world war"  

Hi Rob, they sort of have dual purpose, I wanted to get more metal in the maps so they are one, the main part of a wire fence, and I put them in the water as to break up the flatness and in my area you see this alot in shallow water... alas not Rommel's Asparagus...Cheers. Do you like the map?

Try convincing them of that when they're clamped onto your leg.

We are straying awfully close to this...
 

I've pissed off birds before.
They not only bear a grudge, but manage to communicate it to all other members of the same species.  
Don't piss off birds.

I've made a scenario to fight for the Lehrter Bahnhof near The Moltke Bridge. The new updated building is looking better than before.

Npye's new insane Berlin maps:

Apart from hefting it around ...
Nor I, which scenario is that in? 
Sounds like a contradiction, must be painful ...
You can adjust the overall graphics settings in the game options menu, that allows for adjusting 3D texture and model quality. When a game is loaded you can adjust 3D model quality with the { and } keys. In game click the Menus button in the GUI to display the hotkeys menu button (and others).

you can do that??? (raise the graphics settings 'in game')    if that works then i could play all the 'large' and 'huge'  maps that my laptop cant handle- glad i checked out this thread. thanks, elvis!  
oh, yeah... how do you raise the graphic levels 'in game'?  i dont see a hotkey for it, so where does one go?  (yes, i'm probably an idiot).
 
cheers,
rob

LOL Thanks bud means a lot... I have a seperate scenario for the Lehrter bahnhof, fighting inside, it's hell for the Soviets, 100 Fallschirmjagers can take a lot of shifting,,, I have about 8 more scenarios including The advance on Moabit Prison, the soviets have a choice then can battle for the prison, taking casualties, and release the prisoners who you can use to fight the Germans there are no points benefit so you don't have to do it, it's a moral question as much as a military one. If you don't release them then they will be executed by the SS guards???? But there is a twist which i can't give away. 
This how it's going:
Zhukov's Army Group
The Eastern Approach:
1), Zhukov advance down Frankfurter Strasse to get to Central Berlin.
2), Zhukov advance to Alexanderplatz to get to Central Berlin.
3), Zhukov advance to Museum Island in Central Berlin.
4), Zhukov advance down the Unter Den Linden in Central Berlin.
The North West Approach:
1), 3rd Shock Army advance down Moabit Strasse to get to Central Berlin.
2), 3rd Shock Army Assaults The Lehrter Bahnhof to get to the Reichstag.
3), 3rd Shock Army force crossing of the Moltke Bridge and Assaults Himmler's House.
4), 3rd Shock Army try to Assault The Reichstag.
5), 3rd Shock Army Assault's The Kroll Opera House.
6), The Final Assault on the Reichstag, including the Red Flag teams that must place the flag on the Reichstag to win.
Koniev's Army Group
 
The South Eastern Approach:
1), Koniev's advance through the Suburbs to get to Central Berlin.
2), Koniev's Assault on The Anhalter Bahnhof and moving up Saarlandstraße to get to the Tiergarten (hoping to beat Zhukov and Assault the Reichstag) and advance up Saarlandstraße to assault Potsdamer Platz Columbus Haus and Potsdammer Bahnhof. 
3), On the right flank the Armies advance up Wilhelmstrasse, to Assault, Luftwaffe Air Ministry, Kaiserhof Hotel, Goebbels Propaganda and Ministry of Enlightenment and finally the New Reichs Chancellery and find Hitler's body, (hidden in the Ministry Gardens).
I would love to make. campaign, where both Zhukov and Koniev race to take the Reichstag. I may try but that will be a while away. 
Cheers to everyone who downloaded the Mod, would love to see some screen grabs or video of the action. 
 

WeGo or NoGo...
One of the primary USPs for me is the 1 minute turn and infinite replays of the turn results. If it doesn't have that, it's not a competitor to CM, in my lexicon.
