Last post by Skoop - Today at 04:15:40 PMI said that exact same thing to my son who has 300hours on steam playing gates of hell. His response was, I love rts, and if it's similar to gates of hell, I'm in.

Wargaming / Re: Next War...whats next
Last post by ArizonaTank - Today at 03:45:21 PMHere is the link for NW Iran.
https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1011-next-war-iran.aspx
a short blurb from the description;
Now, with the old regime teetering and losing its grip, Iran makes a bid for forcing the West to recognize its complete sovereignty and control over its own affairs by striking at the one thing they care about: the flow of oil. Mining the Straits of Hormuz and declaring it closed to all traffic, Iran defies the world. The US, and perhaps some of its allies, takes action to re-open the straits and get the black gold flowing to the world again.
Next War: Iran is the sixth game in the Next War series. It is unique in the series in that the Allied player has to do the attacking while the non-Allied player attempts to defend its territory against neo-imperial oppression. With a long logistical tail, few true allies in the region, and the menace of Iran's A2AD capabilities, re-opening the Straits is a tall order.

Last post by W8taminute - Today at 10:39:04 AMNice book recommendations rahamy for the Six Day War. I've read Chaim Herzog's "Arab Israeli Wars" and Eric Hammel's "Six Days In June". Both good reads.
I'll check out those other recommendations as well.

Tech Talk / Re: Strange new PC problem
Last post by W8taminute - Today at 10:34:00 AMAssuming that nothing changed with the KVM & USB switches my first thought would be to check for any recent windows updates. If there were any updates in the past month or so I would read the release notes. Check for any changes to how device drivers are handled by windows. That sort of thing.
So other low lying fruit that you can reach for is to check all the cable connections. Look for any signs of damage to the connectors or the cable itself. That includes looking at the entire length of cabling to see if there is any signs of crushed or splayed cabling. Make sure the pins inside the connector housing are not bent or broken.
Check the ports on the KVM and USB switches as well. Looking for signs of damage.

Last post by Jarhead0331 - Today at 09:53:36 AMQuote from: bobarossa on Today at 09:26:59 AMOne troubleshooting technique is to unplug things one at a time and see if the problem resolves. In other words a peripheral may be malfuntioning and causing the USB switch or KVM to malfuntion.
Yeah...I have a strong suspicion it could be the USB switch. That is a relatively new addition to the ecosystem. I'll troubleshoot it this evening.
