STOP, tempting me! You know I am weak.  #:-)
Like a deranged Putin, we look to exploit the weak!

The following ~hour long video from Tonci87 is another deep overview of GT:MF.  Unlike WarSimmer's videos, this one is less about telling you how to play the game, but is rather a love-fest for all of the crazy detail and features that the game provides that are un-matched.  You want tanks under attack to open a commander's hatch and toss a grade at attacking infantry?  You got it! (see 20:23).  This vid is much more fanboy than instruction, but I learned quite a few things about it that I didn't know about it before (e.g. armor and ballistics overlay displays at 21:45).  The armor and ballistics model is unmatched!

Thought I read somewhere that the devs are in Kharkiv.  Hoping they are safe.

Yep, from their main page....

Graviteam is a game development independent studio based in Kharkov, Ukraine. Studio specializes in developing tactical wargames with a strong sense of realism, tank simulators, and military training complexes.

Great. Now they can be one of their own games.  :hide:  I saw a story on one of the local TV channels of a bar owner who is standing against Russia by dumping-out all his Russian Vodka even though it's really made in America. He said it was a, 'principled stand' he was taking and henceforth, he would sell no Russian-made products. What a guy!  :notworthy:

Huh...I was holding off buying as I had them pegged as Russian. Since they are Ukrainian I will buy the rest of their DLC tomorrow, sale or not.

+1 to that!

The devs for Mius Front released a couple of new expansions recently and added in some new features and UI changes.  I haven't played in quite a few months so I thought I'd dive in and take a look at what the game is like now.

Right away, one of the new features that really grabbed my attention is the addition of Companion Books for each DLC.  These are short (5-20 pg) pamphlets describing the operation in detail, complete with battle maps, and links to further information. 

They've also heavily revamped the strategic layer with many changes to both the appearance and functionality of the briefing/overview map.  There's still a learning curve to the OOB lists and how to deploy and reinforce units, but it's better than before.

EDIT: I found this guy's video which highlights some of the stuff I was babbling about.

The pamphlet idea is pretty awesome.
