Aragorn2002 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Funny thing is I'm about to replay Feierabend this weekend, since the wife is abroad. Rinaldi's impressive AAR will make this battle even more enjoyable. Excellent stuff, Rinaldi and great screenshots.

George MC Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Small armoured group tasked with reccing the main body’s avenue of approach takes a tactical pause in a small unnamed (on their map) Polish village. A cautious move along the main road and an observation halt is taken - the tank commander cautiously scanning the surrounding terrain for any signs of enemy activity. Enemy activity is spotted in the next village overlooking a key bridge. An SPW zug, over watched by their armour, make a swift dash cross-country to a small ford to outflank the enemy position. They cross the ford without incident. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Everytime I see sharp and superb screenshots like that it reminds me that I really need a faster pc.

Given the price of cards when I upgraded earlier this year I stuck with it (oh had also bought all the other parts a year back anticipating Brexit pushing prices up - rever figured on a global pandemic!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky and there was one 3000 series on its way to the computer store. It was a 3060 which would not have been my first choice but I didn't want to stay with my old 760. No complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a photoshop type program? By nature screenshots are a little blurry by design. Here s my last screenshot developed with affinity photo. Sharpening and a Curve Adjustment layer applied. Screenshot was taken with the Xbox Gamebar which comes with Windows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What testimony! Did the lieutenant survive his injuries? Did Starke survive the war? , I guess so since he gave his testimony .... do you have a photo of him? These are questions that we could legitimately ask ourselves if we had not been told before that it was a script report!! What a talent and what a pleasure to read you Before, in my youth, I played Squad Leader to recreate the stories read in the testimonials. You do the opposite, it's also a nice tribute to the creators of this game that takes you back in time. It is also from a tactical point of view a very good illustration. Your blog becomes essential like @Bil Hardenberger You have to do like him a fixed post that makes it easy to find the link of your blog Merci PS: I saw that I'm late, another one is already here. I already know that I'm going to have a good time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He! Nope - but close by. Its an earlier map of another area. Knowing what I know now I'd do the fields differently, but going in and redoing that would tip me over the edge I fear... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
