Heinrich505 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Bud, Good one. My tank commanders usually catch a round in the pumpkin much sooner than yours, it seems. From the one pic it looked like he was a goner for sure. And yes, what the heck could be far worse than a hidden ATG? You have us hooked again.Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Far worse? Far worse? What!!BTW nice ricochet sound.Oh, you'll see, yes, you'll see... Glad the ricochet onomatopoeia is so obvious as to what it's meant to represent. I kinda liked it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Very nice closing shots (no pun there..), especially capturing and verbalizing the near miss incoming tracer, as well as the outbound ricochet! Is this a possible lead-in as to why the story is being told as the gunner's narrative, and not Barnes??? It took about 40 attempts to catch that damned bullet in flight at the right moment - both coming in, and bouncing away... Barnes is a taciturn fellow. He'd just give you a steely gaze.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 This like watching the walking dead, cliffhanger after cliffhanger. Only more realistic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 That was close!!Yes, it was! Barnes seems to have a talent for keeping his head really low - you barely see anything below his eyes at times.. That's how he'd explain it anyway... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain that you would LOVE IT if BF could give us the reverse/opposite of the current play/pause button, such that you could rewind in micro-second increments. I certainly would!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to what could be worse than a hidden ATG... How about one really close. Like, REALLY close. See below... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain that you would LOVE IT if BF could give us the reverse/opposite of the current play/pause button, such that you could rewind in micro-second increments. I certainly would!!! More than anything I'd like that the map would have, in 3-D mode, some procedural generator of terrain outside the sandbox, so that no matter how I orient the camera, the terrain recedes into the distance seamlessly. I spend a lot of time trying to frame shots in such a way as to hide ugly map edges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'd like to point out I didn't leave you all hanging very long... But my cliffhanger ending is itself another cliffhanger! Isn't that neat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baneman Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ooooooh! Will there be a WHAAANG! onomatopoeia is the next panel??? Given that Bud appears to have grown up with "Battle Picture comics" like me, I predict "Hilfeaargh !" instead.

Bud Backer Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) BTW, Bud, is this scenario available to the rest of us?MichaelNo, it's not. I may release something at a later date, but not at this point, sorry. This story is actually created by 3 (or 4? I can't recall) scenarios. The battles are not staged, but required several scenarios to go from beach to the end of the comic. So you would not have a coherent single scenario representing what you're seeing.

If I can use those in a QB I would like to do that.Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
