Thanks for the quick response!

Hey playing through Tutorial 1 using the new beta and noticed the M3s were not getting claims via cannon but only TOWs when engaging BTRs within Durrheim. Ranges in the log were between ~350-650m. I ran the engagement a few times and while the results varied, which was good, the use of TOWs and ...

Yeah I was cleaning up an old HD and came across it. Figured I would fire it up and see how things had progressed. Bit of nostalgia

-cheers, Merrick

Thanks for posting the link to "Survey of Allied tank casualties in WWII". It is a great document and provides some really useful data and analysis.

Great to see how this has progressed since Flashpoint Germany 15+ years ago and the developers continued dedication to improving the game. Looking forward to this release in about a week.

OK disregard. I did search for steam on the forum and it didn't turn up anything useful. I just happened to glance further down and noticed the Steam thread. The search tool seems a bit dodgy...

<t> I just installed the latest patch off the Matrix members site (v.4.1.0.21 (13 DEC 2018)) and when I try and run the game I now get the following error:<br/>
<br/>

The program can't start because steam_api.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the ...

<t> Given the importance of recon in the game maybe some tweaks to the recon model. Not sure how recon units are handled behind the scenes, but may be some sort of recon movement order (beyond deliberate move) that significantly reduces their rate of advance, halts forward movement on a sighting ...

Hi Mad Russian,

Abstraction is OK as long as reasonable balance is there as well. At the level the games plays at not being involved in the minutia makes sense.

Thanks Wiliam. I may take you up on the offer for rough renders. I had my ground cover shape file get corrupted and I lost all the data. Once I get it rebuilt I will reach out to you.

<t> Has their any consideration given to implementing a slightly more detailed engineering/breaching model? <br/>
<br/>
Given how critical breaching barriers (both man-made and natural) would be to an actual conflict set during the period and location modeled in the game, having a slightly more ...

<t> In terms of wish list having an editor in Southern Storm that can generate the prettier maps woth out shipping them to you guys would be great. I tend to take an iterative approach to design and it would make it easier to get a sense of where things stand.<br/>

Also, I downloaded some ...

I appreciate the effort on getting this wrapped up and out. Also it is great to have all the files. It makes it much easier to sort out where I have gone off the rails or to double check my effort.

Thanks again for the work on this.

Merrick

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the tweak. It works great.

<t> Hi William,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for pulling the QGIS guide together. I found it to be a real help. <br/>
<br/>
Curious if you have had any issues with the MMQGIS plugin? I was running version 2016.8.17 on QGIS v2.8.2 and no matter what I did the grid was distorted. It looks like it may be ...

<t> Hi Harry,<br/>
<br/>
This is a really great tool. I used it a bit this evening and have a couple of questions. <br/>
<br/>
I am running it from the command prompt, but I am wondering if there is a better way to run it?<br/>
<br/>
Also, I used the /createelevation option which worked well ...

Occurs For the American, British, Soviet, and West German sides. I was using the non-user National Database files in the ...
