I'll second that.

Another minor issue with resolution...the button that toggles 7/8 res makes it possible to make it so the choices along the left hand side (general, map, units, sound, gfx and res) are no longer on screen, and then you're stuck. Would be nice to have a hotkey.

<t> Tony, that's great. My old man became a "Kriegie" when he was trying to make his way back to the line when his squad got bypassed and they decided to rest by some haystacks that the morning light revealed to be German tents, and an Engineer outfit took them prisoner. <br/>

My father was present at the battle as part of "Easy" company, 2nd Battalion, 110th Regiment. I'm interested if there are any scenarios covering the initial phases of the attack along "Skyline Drive".

Thanks.

This stuff all looks great. Appreciate the work.

Having played both, but not very recently, I'd say the first game is a pretty good indicator of if you'll want the second. Battle animations are missing from the second game, and IMHO they should have been made optional, even if they were pretty humble affairs. <br ...

<r> Maybe I'm just thick, but the first thing I did after downloading was start banging my head against the wall because I couldn't save nor change the resolution. Read several threads before it occurred to me that the latest download isn't patched up.<br/>

So in case it helps somebody else ...

<t> I helped host a 4Th MarDiv reunion some time ago and got to talk with some of the Marine Corps veterans of Iwo Jima...any group like that is going to have a lot of individuals with different opinions, but it's safe to say they were comfortable with the fact that they did what they had to do and ...

<t> Wow, I'm enlightened now.&nbsp; Because individuals in mortal&nbsp;combat commit acts of cruelty and the images are&nbsp;ugly,&nbsp;the actions, goals and conduct of all&nbsp;governments are all equal.&nbsp; GIs and Tommies in Europe shot surrending Germans and laughed, so we are all as bad as ...

L2's "Bitter Woods" is worthy of a look in the Bulge game genre. Components are top nothch and it's very playable.

<r> I prefered SPI games back in the day, and drifted towards AH games towards the end of my golden age of board wargaming.&nbsp; I think it was a combination of SPI going under and the realization that the less complex titles might actually see some table time.<br/>

1. Where does the music come from in the beginning? I love that sound.

I think the tune you are referencing is "White Cockade".</r>

I'll second VG's Civil War as being excellent, and say that Ageod's ACW computer game is the closest thing to an electronic version I've found.</t>

"The Forgotten War"...your description fits my dim memory exactly. Surprised it hasn't shown up in the bargain bin like "Victory at Sea"

I want a good eastern front documentary...

Wasn't there one done with Burt Lancaster narrating? I don't recall if it was good or not.

Ken needs to do a film on civil rights, not WWII

Oh, and by the way Babe die…..that was pathetic [8|]

I'm sure his family thought so.

I think it won't be long before the wargame crowd starts having more members drop off forums due to rolling a one on the big CRT of life...[:(]

I'm gonna have to get used to the scroll wheel zoom....It's making me seasick.[:'(]

<t> After two episodes, I'm inclined to say it's about what I expected.&nbsp; The footage is terrific, the veteran's stories are riveting, the accounts of the folks on the home front are very interesting, and it falls painfully&nbsp;short as a narrative of key military events, with some major ...

Awesome!&nbsp;This will be a great excuse to start another game.
