I'll check it out, hoping its not crew moving them by hand and more 'moved' i.e. towed behind a truck or half-track. I'll do another test, thanks for the reply.

Great stuff Ben! Actually I tried a statue of Lenin, not sure when most of them went up tho, anyway I completley messed it up and decided it was beyond my abilities, so kudos to you for being so brave and giving it a shot. [&o]

Yum! Nice job Mob.

<t> Yup Rick, my domestic scene is one of devastation, having a 2 year old charging around and a very demanding 2 month old, still waiting to get into a managable routine. Only really have a couple of hours at night so only playing rather than modding to relax a bit. Playing Mount & Blade, I find ...

<t> Hey! Yes most of my buildings only have 3 mountpoints/one squad, since they're mostly small huts, larger buildings like&nbsp;the factories as you guys have already noticed have more. This was following Stridors instructions once the mount point problem was solved by him.<br/>

A Few Bloody Noses by Robert Harvey.<br/>

It's now available in paperback. To be honest&nbsp;it's a contentious account, just look at the reviews on Amazon but a great read. It tries to rebalance the rosey look that most Americans ...

Btw, you have&nbsp;a great military&nbsp;museum in Budapest, I remember some great Napoleonic and Turk displays, was there about 15 years ago visited the Gondel and the Gelliart too, amazing. I bet it's changed a bit now, fond memories.
