I have the same question. Do they look slightly different?

As in ... And YET rune is still around.

I'll goad you into a response sooner or later damnit ... my only regret is that I can't be in Chicago to harrass you in person.

I can see it now ... I'd stomp into the room with sunglasses, trenchcoat buttoned to the chin despite the heat, combat boots clumping on the floor while muttering to myself ... No, no, no ... they don't ALL have to die.

Then again, considering THIS crowd ... I probably wouldn't be the only one.

To quote Edmond Hillary, because its there! ;)

Remember ALL those Sherman types in CMAK? Engine differences, hull manufacturing differences, if a variant was fielded it was put into the game whether it was demonstrably different or not. I'm not about to argue with them about putting too much equipment into the game.

But if some theories are correct, Irving and/or Mallory made it to the summit and died on the way down ... as long as the game is finished FIRST ... sacrifices may have to be made ... {Joe darts a quick glance at rune} :D

Yeah, Charles hasn't had a chance to look at the shadow "scatter" on the building sides. He hopes he can do something about it, but he's going to have to learn how to hack around something because it shouldn't be looking like that (and it doesn't on all cards).

Glad you like the way it's looking! We're a little surprised how good it looks too. Afterall, we don't have millions of Dollars in graphics.

The ESV is something I hope to improve. The problem is that that simulating the equipment on the vehicle is only 1/4 the work. Simulating the effects are much more difficult to do. Technically the ESV should have a trailer for VOLCANO, which opens up a can of worms since there is no physics or TacAI support for trailers. We're looking at several weeks to just the ESV functional and a few more to debug it. That's just not something we have time for.
