Good effort, I particularly enjoyed the mortar bits. Also the Tiger at the end is perhaps relevant to a recent discussion on side versus rear armour on the Tiger 1.
My 'training' was somewhat more stressful - for CM as a game system it was the RT demo 'Monster Mash' and for BN it was the demo 'Roadblock'. And yes I didn't know what I was doing but great fun all the same. I think I'm a lot better now

Actually I should load this up as the Germans just to see how crack that crew is.
I pressed Ceasefire on an old save. Not very.

Checked the designer's notes but for some reason this one doesn't have any. So no idea how they made sure the crew didn't bail.
I wondered if it was the 'soft factors' of the crew, but having checked them out, I would say not. Don't wish to give away too much...

Just wait until we go back to LSD. Ooops, I meant £.s.d. Nah, not even The Bullingdon Buffoon would be that stupid, would he?
Perhaps LSD would make Brexit seem more sensible, but I doubt it.

Not sure it’s related to that particular f**k up.
I think unfortunately it probably is. And I agree with your desciptive language
.
When I bought RT perhaps 6 or 7 months ago I was charged $60. Now, before I log in to BFC (so my location is unknown) it is still $60. When I log in it knows I'm in the UK and shows me $72.
Yet another of Boris' 'benefits'.
Edit: As an after-thought perhaps our friends in countries outside the EU could confirm the price they are offered? Of course they may have a trade deal

Maybe you guys have something in the browser cache from an earlier visit that keeps it alive, but for newcomers it fails?
I use Firefox, but I just tried Edge (which I've not used for anything) and got to the same download links as before without logging in, clicked the PC one and 5 seconds later I had the patch. So it seems it's not to do with the browser cache.
Anyway, thanks to @BFCElvisyou now have the patch so that's the main thing

He's confused about how to pronounce the name of his buddy?
Good spot.
I think we've seen corrupted names before but can't remember which mod it was? The UI looks like JuJu's but I don't think that was the culprit (I have it here and there are no corrupted names).

Anyone who watches the Tour de France gets told that whenever it passes through Andorra. And then there are boring old farts like me who have had it lodged in the back of their mind since the days I had a full head of hair.
Out of curiousity I wondered when Macron was appointed as I was worried about your rapid loss of hair:
Emmanuel Macron
since 14 May 2017However, I suppose a less than full head of hair may not be that threadbare.
Wait, this is the General Discussion forum isn't it

Sometimes they do get their historical facts so wrong that I have to shout at the TV screen rather loudly. But, not often.
I am often requested to stop talking to the television, whether it's news programmes, adverts or whatever. I know no one (who cares
) is listening, but I just can't help it.

Without having to login, I can click through to the patches:
This is the screen with PC and Mac version and a Read me file. I can then click on the PC version and seconds later it has downloaded. If it's not working for you perhaps open a Help ticket, or perhaps @BFCElvis can advise directly here.

Look at the clouds moved, that do not lie !!!
Oui. I see the clouds moved so please pardon me.
And I would not insinuate a plot, whether international, extra-terrestrial or involving the president of France and ex officio co-prince of Andorra! Not a lot of people know the latter detail, and neither did I...

it probably makes our friends at BFC feel good. I am spending the money anyway, so doesn't hurt me to spend it a month or two early.
I agree, although I wouldn't apply the same logic to many companies

Forgot to ask PC or Mac, but you said a different PC? I just downloaded the PC version no problem.

The link to the patch download seems to be broken, at least for me.
Okay for me here, not that I need it. Worth another try?

Wow, it does drag on a little, 3 months go by and even the dust/smoke hasn't moved

Anyway, keep up the good work
those earlier shots look beautiful, if a little on the destructive side.

I see. Well, in that case I will also pre-order, although I never had problems downloading.
Me too, even though I don't have enough time to play the Red Thunder I already have. FB and BN have taken over (shocking as I'm usually an East Front type of guy) and even FI has had to take a back seat. Anyway, it's all good

Iron sucks in RT play. But in WeGo during the command phase you can see everything even if selected one of your units so it's not really that much of a hassle.
After a few months on Elite, I'm now on Iron for all WW2 titles. As others have said here and elsewhere, I don't think it's 'harder' but perhaps a bit more realistic and gves you more info on what each unit can see and communicate with. This is using WEGO of course, as you said.

Who knows, maybe I'll get suckered in on some of the other titles too.
+1 welcome back and you will not regret it, I don't think it's 'suckered' as it's all very good.
Be prepared to buy everything
. I've been totally into Final Blitzkrieg of late but all of the other WW2 titles are worth every penny / cent.
Fanboi, qui moi?

If they do 'Fire and Rubble' properly they need to model the Soviet armor to enable Soviet tank riders.
I'm sure 'they' will do Fire and Rubble properly, but as others have said RT already has this.
Your punishment, should you choose to accept it, is to purchase RT. You can wait until Fire and Rubble comes out if you wish, but this message will self-destruct as soon as you've placed the order.

You must have had some handy just in case
