Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies2 Jun 2014, 21:11 PM I've captured one after one hit with a 'zooka. I also managed to use a demo charge on on (paratroop ability). In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies2 Jun 2014, 19:37 PM Yeah, the Sturmtiger is a sort of trololol unit, a novelty for very specific situations (for example you want to deploy a tactical nuke). Yes, you can drive it away to reload and if you don't it can get knocked out and captured by a humble 'zooka team (like the little tykes who cut about in M20s). The players who get the most out of it nanny it into position with an escort, nuke everything and run away. One for team games, I suspect. In: Lobby
Thread: My Army Essence Statement - The British and Commonwealth2 Jun 2014, 18:38 PM The British iteration of the Jackson TD was the Achilles. Note the 'Mickey Mouse Ear' bubble black and green camo pattern common to British vehicles. This company makes loads of cool WW2 minis for wargaming, check out their new Pioneer halftrack for the Germans. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies2 Jun 2014, 18:15 PM The NDA is kind of pointless now in my humble, but it's their sandpit so I'll respect the rules. Most of what I would say is fairly positive, although of course there is still tweaking to be done. My main concern is the kind of queeny-OTT wailing we'll get because the Alpha testing pool is quite small. Like I said, I would love to say more but I like alpha-testing, did it on CoH2 and would like to do it in future. So I am bound by the Relic code of Canuck Omerta for now. In: Lobby
Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies2 Jun 2014, 09:52 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Jun 2014, 09:32 AMPorygon Still I am talking something everyone can guess. or imagine. Point not found. You're breaking the terms of the NDA you agreed to, and one which this forum says it's going to respect. In: Lobby

Thread: My Army Essence Statement - The British and Commonwealth1 Jun 2014, 22:35 PM Good point, and another reason why Relic should put right the wrong they've inflicted on my country! The thing that grates about the Brits for me is (a) they ain't fun to play but (b) they are so easily abused. My Brits owe more to the Panzer Elite than the OF iteration. Imagine a slightly tougher PE in terms of units but more fragile with map control and economy and that's where I'm at. In: Lobby
Thread: Buying a Gaming Laptop.1 Jun 2014, 22:17 PM I've got an Alienware MX18. People are going to shout me down, but the SOB is almost four years old and still going strong. A rig like mine nowadays starts at approx 1300 quid. I run RTS games on it - unlike shooters they need a whole lot of power (mine runs vCoH flawlessly) Having said that I get my desktops from Cyberpower (excellent UK company, great customer service). For the same price they do some badass gaming laptops... Fangbook Evo CyberPowerPC FANGBOOK EVO 17.3" FHD LED-Backlit 1920x1080 Display w/ Red backlit performance keyboard with programmable keys, Built-in 720p HD webcam, HDMI Port, Li-Ion Battery, & Universal AC Adapter...Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ Mobile Processor 2.40 GHz 6M Smart Cache, Max Turbo Freq. 3.40 GHz The Alienware has: 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4910MQ Processor (Quad Core, 8MB Cache, Overclocked up to 4.1GHz). I'm sure some of our more tech-minded members will be able to split the difference for you. The main issue with laptops is design - optimal performance plus cooling and extra slots. This ain't an issue with a tower, but it is with a lappie. This is why you get what you pay for - my Alienware rig is very quiet and performs well but runs dry very quickly - it needs to be plugged in for gaming. In: Lobby
Thread: My Army Essence Statement - The British and Commonwealth1 Jun 2014, 21:51 PM CoH is a company-level game. In: Lobby
Thread: My Army Essence Statement - The British and Commonwealth1 Jun 2014, 21:29 PM A fair point, but a generalisation too. Patton was noted for his audacity. The notoriously cautious Montgomery sacrificed a division at Arnhem. The British advanced across Europe at break-neck speed in 1944 / 45. Their logistics tail could barely keep up. The vCoH Brits, lumbering and static, do not capture the essence of the post-Normandy army. In: Lobby
