Brexit was part of the "protest" by workers primarily in the NE and Wales
In the interests of balance, I'm not sure this tells the full story as the South West, North West, South East (not London) etc. all voted to leave (there are a lot of maps clearly showing this online).
Just saying, not saying I like it. And now I'm going back to refraining.

You can also disable Steam from starting up with windows and only run it when you need it for playing
Yes, that's how mine is set up and works fine.

I only ever use fast on road
Sadly if you have a busy road, and I'm thinking KG Peiper and similar situations here, you really can't plot fast for everyone as it turns into a nightmare traffic jam, with vehicles going off in all directions or just blocking the road. It becomes a bit of a task with mixtures of fast, move, slow, hunt up front if needed, pause for various times
. And you may also have dismounts or mounts going on.
Or am I doing it wrong?

Steam folks, does Steam cause any burden on your computer? I used to play Assault Squad which I purchased via steam and it always seemed that steam caused nothing but trouble for me -- like would hijack my boot up and cause it to take forever. So I have never wanted to go back. Do y'all have any issues w steam? I am guessing this no longer occurs.
I don't play any CM via Steam (yet), but no, I don't have any such issues with Steam for other games. It doesn't load until I ask it to for one thing.

This made me think of the little tune Fairies wear boots by Black Sabbath. Now I just have to go to Youtube and listen to it.
See you back here in a few hours (or days)

I'm tempted, but I shall refrain

moaning about what a mistake it is will do no good for anyone
Although I agree with Holien (one of the likes is mine) and have been 'guilty' of similar posts including earlier in this thread, you do have a point that this is not a political forum. I'll try to refrain in future.

I could have sworn I've seen Soviet units using Panzerfausts in CM:RT
Don't think I have, but I've not logged the hours that you have

If you want a truly beautiful map with a scenario scripted to perfection, you won't go far wrong with anything made by @George MC.
+1 to that. And your other suggestions too but I'm probably not so aware of their work just yet - I will be in time.

Output from anyone is appreciated (by me and many others). I wouldn't try to suggest that people can do more, we all have other things to do, and while I'm not producing output it would not be a fair comment anyway. All I can say is 'keep up the good work' for which we are grateful.

I would suggest you play as the attacker on TINY battles. Choose the forces yourself for both sides
Interesting, having just played a medium sized QB on the FB La Gleize map with a powerful German force against an AI selected US force. Half way through I realised that I was fighting almost exclusively M5 tanks. Not much trouble to my panzers but difficult for the infantry (those cannister rounds are not nice). Anyway I still had great fun, ending up with 38 US tanks destroyed to 0 of mine. I certainly learned a lot about keeping the Rollbahn open

No, I just don't believe in nagging about something like this.....It'll be ready when it's ready, or it won't. Nothing we type here will make the slightest difference.
I tend towards this view as well. And having only arrived last May and since then acquiring all of the WW2 content, I have much more content than time to play it.
Oh and +1 to the welcome @DuckCuckem.

If you make the vehicle immobilised from the beginning, the crew acts normal apart from that they can't move.
Well, that certainly explains it. Thanks @Bulletpoint.

Hmm, can‘t you discount the VAT somehow from the famous 350 million per week, which you now save elsewhere?
I would change that slightly to 'famous, but never true'. Also I can't imagine there is any way for normal citizens to do anything other than pay more than they used to.
The UK is of course currently still paying a supposedly reduced amount into EU coffers to cover things we agreed to (or in some cases suggested in the first place) before leaving, and rightly so.

the non-word "moobs".
I don't disagree, but you can find it in both the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries. Recent inclusions of course.
As discussed in another thread, no-one on the forum has admitted to having such appendages, so we need not trouble ourselves about them.
-
Part 1.
"In years to come men like us will have massive moobs. Keep drinking the Guinness guys..."
Part 2.
"No, that's not Adolf but whoever it is, he is running away."
-
Going out on a limb here, but I don't imagine many of the UK folk on this forum voted for the fiasco aka Brexit. To do so you would likely be incapable of playing a game like CM, but also you would be unlikely to be interested in history.

Indeed John. I'm not seeing your spoiler text, but I know the answer anyway.

Yes, but see my post above. Looks like the tax has appeared between Monday and today.
(For the record, I don't think there are any positives
)
Interesting. Checking back I also paid $95 last October for the FI Bundle. Oh well, governments everywhere are in need of a lot of taxes.

I bought the CMFI bundle the other day
After December 31st? Just so we're clear about the positives and negatives - haven't seen any positives yet but there must be some?

Hahaha. Reminds me of that brilliant scene with the two roman deserters in the Britannia series.
What did the Romans ever do for us? Oh no, I think that's from somewhere else

Agreed. You'll have the pleasure (and some frustrations no doubt) of playing, and the pain of getting out your credit card for further additions to your collection. Anyway, keep up the good work

And perhaps we should all leave it to you. I am happy to in this circumstance as there are certainly fewer groats to go around now
