Lovely job, SiphonX!

Lt Runcie. to whom you make reference, was almost certainly a future Archbishop of Canterbury!

Your interest in the immediate subject matter is what helps the intricate design of such maps to become immersive.

The fighting in that very cold winter of 1944 to take (or defend) the Siegfried Line, extended well beyond the Ardennes and is often overlooked It must have been hell for both sides.

Lt Runcie. to whom you make reference, was almost certainly a future Archbishop of Canterbury!

Indeed. Apparently, he earned the nickname of "Killer Runcie" during his service and was decorated in part also for his actions in this battle. Colvin refers to some public controversy around him happening later; I didn't look into this, but it sounded like being touted a "killer" is ok for a war hero but not so much for an Archbishop. Maybe you have some info on this?

According to Colvin that controversy was silly, Runcie was in fact rather timid. His beef with him is that Runcie's indecisivness in the situation could have costed a lot of lives if Sgt. Alldred wouldn't have taken the initiative to flank the 88. However, according to Colvin, Alldred critized the higher echolons after the battle and as a result "his" medal was instead awarded to Runcie which the latter never acknowledged.

SHOUT IT OUT!

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
Last Thursday, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
Last Tuesday, 18:27 PM

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance
22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: #RelicModdedEchoChamber
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM

Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...
16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM

webdesign-muenchen-w: @Rosbone it is sick
14 Mar 2025, 22:09 PM

aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day?
14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM

Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM

adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic
14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM

Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
