If a game doesn't run use the forums - some games are quite easy to "fix", some impossible. Don't know how technically adept you are but LaunchBox & DOSbox can be useful for some older games.

I have seen pictures (of a few fires and A LOT of smoke), and I've heard claims of a widespread destruction at the Torovets (?) supply depot based on IR imaging and live photos.  Media claims to have seen pictures revealing extensive blast damage and/or huge areas of destruction, but I've not seen any actual pictures that show more than a few fires and TONS of smoke.

Anything that the Ukrainians can do to damage/disperse Russian logistics is a win.  I just haven't seen any pictures that prove more than a half-dozen or so buildings were destroyed.  Am I looking in the wrong place? 

Or are the extrapolations about the magnitude of the blast (some saying 1.4 KT and a fire covering 5 square miles) based on distant seismology sensors and anecdotal reports of a blast wave felt 200 miles away?  If the smoke hasn't cleared and the fires are still burning, I guess that's a good thing (from a Ukrainian point of view, at least).

Steel Panthers is indeed awesome. I didn't realize there were 2 pages, so I didn't even see it until I went back and looked.

Bought it. Started it up. Crashed. Will try again late.

I absolutely love Vera Lynn's voice and songs. (song starts at 0:50)

Great song.  I recently found this version which I think is also pretty good.  I don't know why, but this song sometimes brings a tear to my eye.

RIP

Armour is properly spelt in the computer game version ;)

Haha!  Well, yes I agree even though I'm a Yank.

Aside from collateral damage, that is genuinely hilarious. "Who made these things?" "Uh, we didn't, it was the Taiwanese!" "No we didn't, it was the Jews!"

Mossad: *shrugs* 

Hezbollah: "AHA! It was always a giant Jewish conspiracy just like we always said!"

Mossad: *eyes the space laser controls off to the side*

According to this article, the exploding pagers were actually manufactured by Israel. Apparently, the Taiwan manufacturer subcontracted production to an Israel-controlled shell company.
