Hmm, "RTS" and "...over 150 missions...."  Neither of those statements is giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.  Would dearly love to be wrong, however.

Yikes!

Psalm 121:4

הִנֵּ֣ה לֹֽא־יָ֭נוּם וְלֹ֣א יִישָׁ֑ן שׁ֝וֹמֵ֗ר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Behold, He that keepeth Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

Pray for the innocent people involved in both sides of this conflict. 

Netanyahu in his speech the other day said to the people of Iran, that our issue is not with you but with your government.  (Paraphrasing)

Eversim has fooled me not once, not twice.....
I won't be fooled again.   

I've purchased and installed it. If I get a chance, I'll write something up about it.

I own Master of the World back from 2014, simply could not get in to the game due to the poor map graphics.  After seeing politics gaming play GPS5, decided to try it out.  I'm pleasantly surprised so far but have not yet really sat down to play it properly.  Have a seen a few posts now that the devs are actually listening to and fixing the game in EA based on the feedback.  Patch 1.07 is due soon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa1PQLQ3euE, the game still certainly has bugs but at least eversim is showing interest in fixing them this time around - take that for what it is worth.

I keep waiting for a WW2 version.

He got his 4000th hit during his brief stint with the Expos.  Here Gary Carter and Angel Salazar congratulate him.

I just checked, my AC folder is 446 GB. About 1000 cars and 300 tracks. Got a little carried away I guess

Meanwhile, before I left for work I saw a report I couldn't read details on, that Russia threw 50+ tanks and APCs at the Kursk envelopment and Ukraine completely mulched them.

That could be a major game change if so.

Well, the trees are a puzzle, but if what was seen were explosions mostly going up (which iirc is standard ordnance shelter design, make sure any explosions go up not laterally), and if the trees were wet, maybe some scorched trees are most of the foliage damage?

There's no doubt the strikes happened and were catastrophic. Photoshop didn't create a magnitude 3.2 earthquake.

Also got Assetto Corsa, plus the pedals & wheel, loved all the mods that were out there. Was particularly into 50s & 60s Ferraris. You've tweaked a nostalgia nerve - may get it out again!

How large is your AC folder?

...4.72Gb, lot of cars I guess
