The upcoming (soon hopefully) Fire and Rubble module covers the late war period. I imagine any earlier one is a long way off if it's even on the drawing board, but that's for BFC to comment on really, not me.
RT is already engine 4 but was not patched with the latest patch so version number is 2.02 - the latest patch which other titles got was said to be planned to be part of the Fire and Rubble release.
Perhaps I should mention that I have RT and I'm a big fan

Just a few of my opinions (and they are just opinions).
I don't own SF2 so my comments relate more to BN and RT.
Are they perfect, no. Not many things in life are. But none of the 'imperfections' stop me having a great time playing them.
Are they expensive? At full price yes, but I would say they are well worth the money. The Steam price for SF2 is currently much lower.
Are they old? Yes, but that makes no difference to me as I haven't found anything newer that's anywhere near as good.
Is the community toxic? I have only been here since earlier this year but have never experienced toxicity from anyone, neither BFC or the wider community. Quite the opposite in fact.
Those are my opinions.

That is true in the scenario editor, but not the quick battle unit purchase roster
Been waiting to see if another answer came in, but +1 to this. I too would like to see them in the QB roster, although rarity might put them out of reach in most situations.

You might not be the first to do so
. I'm sure all will be back at some point though.

It is an amazing speech from Kevin. Seems it was recorded back in 2014 while he was filming in England but has come to attention every now and again since. I'm still unsure of the 'why' behind the speech, but good for him. Long may the special relationship continue.

Please post a heads-up when it goes onto Spotify or the other sites, as it had already happened when I read about it. Thanks.

Ah okay, sorry John. Anyway, at least we're all looking out for this behaviour so there should be some more evidence turning up if it's still needed.

I'll try and remember next time it happens.
But recent examples include one-storey isolated house and a two-storey town house adjoining an identical one. Both had doors front and back and the door in front of the pixeltruppen was ignored in favour of the one round the other side with unamusing consequences.
I'm normally too busy swearing to remember to screenshot.
If I recall correctly you mentioned it happening with the large 'steeples' in CW Holy Ground, which from the name (and the Allied forces involved) I'm guessing is from the CW add-on. Having said that, when I had played the scenario a couple of days before your post, I didn't notice such behaviour. Maybe my good luck or poor observation rather than inconsistency...

Hi Ridcully. I'm not seeing that here with BN, could you give a quick description of your hardware for the more techy forumites to see if anything like GPU might be causing problems?
-
Glad it worked for you, happy screenshotting

Let me know how it works for you and whether you need to tweak any settings quality-wise

It's just hard to take screenshots...
Agreed, I aked about this in another recent thread as 'PrintScreen' was giving me a shot of the loading screen instead of an in-game shot. In my case the solution was to use the screen capture function of my Nvidia graphics card software (AltF1) instead and it seems to work okay but perhaps not as high definition as I'd like. Probably I need to tweak something...

Perhaps a Scimitar?

On that note, here's another nice photo, allegedly showing Canadian 1st Army troops celebrating with a triumphant pose on the outskirts of Falaise. Whether I'll get any points however I don't know...

damn I just found that Vacillator is also English, it's a plot
I may be English but I'm also a life-long Francophile. I think that's a proper word in the English language.
Anyway your comments about @Warts 'n' all may be accurate, I'll let him respond
Just noticed you put me in the lead, did I mention I'm a Francophile?

I tried to install scenarios and campaigns from the repository in the game but looks like it doesn`t work the same way than in CMBN.How i have to proceed?
I don't have FB but if it's like RT you need to find the User Data folder, in which there will be Scenarios and Campaign folders. For my RT installation this folder is here:
C:\Users\My Name\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Red Thunder, so your FB installation should be similar.
This is, as you say, different to BN which was able to be installed on the D drive if preferred.

Not sure my understanding of the rules is as complete as it might be, so does this count?

Thanks Julian, looks like a good resource. Will give it the attention it deserves at some point soon
