One mission demo is out

I'm very happy to see it seems to have all the good parts of the original (that I recall at least)

Quote from: Skoop on October 05, 2024, 12:10:24 PMThe game looks like it's trying to simulate napoleonic miniatures.  When you zoom out the map looks like it's a tabletop in someone's house.  Even the scale reminds me of the YouTubes of guys playing napoleon table top miniatures.  The graphics are good enough that having an active pause and larger scale battles could have made this worth a play.

Yeah. I wish the tiller games looked like this. Have it. It's ok I guess ... But small makes it's appeal limited.

I enjoyed this much more than more modern movies. I love me a good age of sail movie.
Like most Russian movies, I had never seen this. Since Hollywood has pretty much stopped making good movies, these old Russian movies are starting to appear like gems in the rough.

Utilizing the 2.40 BETA UPDATE that we intend to release in January for Middle East, we started up a Duel in the Golan scenario called "Bridges". It isn't scripted, but since I am on the attack, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. That being said we are heavily engaged against Syrian commandos that are well supported. Missiles were flying taking out some of our M113's, but it looks like we're making good progress, even though we are suffering some nasty casualties from the overly efficient Syrians.

Then again, the Beloved Nork looks like he's massing troops on his own border toward South Korea just recently, so.... maybe not so many troops to send to Russia soon?  :huh:

I mean, they could just be there as an excuse not to send more troops: "sorry Vlad, we just can't right now, look at all the troops I'm tying up on our border, this was a scheduled exercise, trust me bro!"

Don't go into the light!

Also, the hurricane is trending further south.  Not sure where Slash is, but that's not good news if he's just south of Tampa.

My bud lives in Wellington, near West Palm Beach.  They got hit by a huge tornado.  He's safe, but his neighborhood took a beating, with some deaths.

This is a crazy hurricane.

Sir Slash-Take care.  If you have an iphone, you can send text messages via satellite when you are off the grid:
