How dare you sir? Or are you also 'taking the piss'? Which is not the same as 'taking a piss'. Sidenote 1: it's nice that we can piss on this forum without big brother's censorship. Sidenote 2: It's not matter of multiple names - we are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. England is but a part.

I think our friend is referring to the use of capitalisation. I'm only the messenger, please don't shoot me .

Thanks guys, yes let's hope he's okay and will be back soon.

Totally agree. As a sadly ex-EU member .

Phil you're probably right about that. You are about most things, perhaps all . Anyway I want Habaneros on mine...

Has anyone heard from our good friend Andy @Sgt.Squarehead recently? Not seen here since February (the same on modelling forums - scale models that is in case you're wondering) so I'm a little concerned...

On a similar note I've always felt sorry for the guys heading towards surrounded Stalingrad, only to have to stop short with no attempt at a breakout (for obvious reasons no doubt). But some might say I'm feeling sorry for the wrong side... Anyway thanks again for the reminder of a campaign I downloaded but did not immediately get to try .

Okay, I'll hopefully get to it soon . So thanks are also due to @Lille Fiskerby.

Apologies I'm a bit late on these. Beautiful work and nice story-telling. Silly (aka lazy) question - are these all part of the Breakthrough to Kovel campaign? If so I really need to try it.

I think the suggestion was that if the enemy had the same ammo that you need, you should be able to pick it up? However, as you can't even share with your own side except within a unit's command structure I wouldn't expect to be able to use the enemy's ammo. Even though in reality it might happen. Right or wrong, not my call .

And in some (many?) organisations they are then promoted again to move them on, as they are not useful to the immediate team.

Thanks for the clarification, understood. The links to patches on the website might still need a brush up, particularly the one on the CMFB purchase page which seems to direct to Engine 3 CMBN patches? Anyway hope he gets sorted soon.

That is a 'convoi exceptionnel'.

I don't see where @Amb said he's using the animated text mod? The comment 'the patches seem like they were designed for another title' is a clue. If you click on 'patches' on the CMFB purchase page, the only patches shown are for Engine 3 and seem to be those for CMBN, not CMFB. If however you go directly to the patches page from the main menu you get the option of a patch for Engine 4, plus older Engine 3 patches for CMFB (but not CMBN this time). @BFCElvis you might want to check this? @Amb if you purchased CMFB Engine 4 you only need the Engine 4 patch v203 on the patches page.

A recent CMFB purchase would be Engine 4 right? For that there is only one patch v2.03. That's what I did with my install last year. Or am I misunderstanding what you said?

You mean 'Pop smoke'? Various German tanks have this in-game, saved my bacon (well Panther actually) in Barkmann's Corner Re-visited recently. Or do you mean you were surprised the TacAI did it?

Also Phil, thought I'd mention that the battles themselves (the .btt files) go in the C:\Users\Username\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Red Thunder\Game Files\Scenarios folder so slightly different to the mods.

Great movie Phil, even if the German vehicles don't look anything like they should . So they still have Hitler Youth in Pflugerville? They must also be getting on a bit now. Anyway if by Hitler Youth they meant 12th SS HJ I would not have been encouraged by that. I guess they didn't mean that. In reality they came up against the 9th and 10th SS I think?

If I do get over there Phil, it would be great to meet up. Let's see...

To be fair I'd say that was a good shot, well executed. Not much chance for the target to react. But why were they barrel-assing down the road on their own in the first place?

Yes, brother-in-law and his family. Somewhere called Pflugerville (say what?) after a while in McAllen. But he's not into CM so I might not be visiting him .

So can I come and try the sauna instead? I'll bring some home-grown Habaneros and we can share a hot pizza in your dining room . Seriously Phil take your time and do your priority things as you see them. Not having an in-game KV1 is not really your fault after all. And yes I saw mention of the Barbarossa map, love it!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Phil ( @kohlenklau ) has done lots of great stuff, including the early war stuff as described above. Highly recommend them. And he's a nice guy . So can I play with that KV1 yet Phil? Please...

Thanks for a timely reminder Wim. While I've played much of Phil's / @kohlenklau's fine work (even against the master himself), I have yet to try the FINN scenarios. I think he's labouring with a KV1 mod just now...

I really did LOL. As for the video, a definite WTF moment...
