DMS Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I hoped that game will be released on 1-st of May... Did you know the legend that Stalin ordered to take Berlin by 1-st of May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how the Steam ports are taking precedence -- I'd say that 1st of May, 2021, is a distinct possibility. xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisha Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 The Vistula-Oder strategic operation of January '45 is a textbook example of operational art. Even more so than Bagration. A perfect setting for Fire and Rubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have good news and I have bad news........ The bad news. As some may have guessed (and if you don't know what I'm referring to I invite you to explore the whole forum and you'll see what I mean....yes...I am being purposely obtuse) our special project has taken away assets that would otherwise be devoted to getting this module to you guys. That will end (for a while) in the next few weeks allowing full focus to be on this module. The good news is that it hasn't taken all of the assets and things have not stopped moving forward. The number of stand alone battles continues to grow. The campaigns are very far along and waiting for final TO&E to be finished. The only major formations that haven't been added are the Partisans. If they were in you'd see them in the screenshots below. There are a couple of other nice surprises that I will post as soon as I can get them displayed the way that I want to present them (one thing in particular). I'm not going to venture a guess on the release but "very soon" and "very very soon" are not where we're at. But we are at "soon". In the meantime, here are a few things that you haven't seen before. Anyone know what they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking that it had been a while since I posted here (and I still haven't finished my side of the AAR) and trying to think of what kind of update would be useful or interesting information. Most stand alone scenarios are marked as "Final". Which, for us, means that they are done done. The artwork is in, they've been tested and tweaked all that they are going to be tested and tweaked (unless something very unexpected comes up in a build that would break the scenario). The campaigns are close to being wrapped up. There is one fairly big TO&E element that has not been added to the module yet. Once that's in I would expect for things to move along extremely quickly.

danfrodo Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Guitar riff in Rebel Rebel: coolest thing ever. How come sh*thead musicians seem to live forever and all the good ones die early. Pat Boone is still alive. I wonder if BFC will have Steam RT release going before F&R release? that would be cool for the Steam folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 A fair number of musicians die young because they often make bad decisions, but that aside Pat Boone is a good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Bowie fan than me (I could get into it but it isn't the right place and it's likely to bore) but I only found out recently that Bowie played that riff on the album. I couldn't remember who played guitar on the album about a month ago. I looked it up and except for one song the only guitar credits were for Bowie.

Ah, that's one my favourite popular music trivia facts https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/category/diamond-dogs-1974/ Quote Alan Parker played the riff on the record, using a Les Paul standard and a Fender reverb amp with a single Wharfedale speaker. He later said Bowie had about three-fourths of the riff down when he played it for Parker on an acoustic guitar: he told Parker to make it a bit more Rolling Stones. Parker replayed the riff on his electric, adding some clang and bends (Bowie credited Parker with the three final notes of the riff: Ab, D and E). Its godfather was Keith Richards, who’d made a lifetime habit of compelling two-chord riffs; its target was Mick Ronson, who Bowie seemed to be trying to outdo. Alan who? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Despite being decidedly mediocre for decades Bromley Dave and the Self-Publicists did hit the nail on the head with Rebel Rebel, the guitar riff still sounds great. And the lyrics, wow. "Hot titties and worn out shoes. Barry Obama always sang the blues. Ribble valley, I kinda like your style. Ribble valley won't yer put it on trial?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
