Google Earth Tour

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Newish to this game and only just become aware of the Google Earth Bulge Battle Sites Tour .
Really appreciate and enjoy this way of viewing the battle site areas within a real map context and the opportunity to view the game maps superimposed on the current Google map terrain
Would recommend any other more recent converts to BFTB to have a look----and thanks very much to those who created this excellent facility--much appreciated

In that case " Plodder" --sincere thanks to you and your brilliant piece of work-----dare I add that a similar facility would be equally welcomed for HTTR when the new version appears "very soon indeed.....!!!! " (Hope springs eternal in the human heart)

Sorry but it's probably not going to happen. I'd like to but when I made the tour, my daughter was 5 months old and quite manageable.Now she is 2 with a 1 year old brother in tow(Yes, I've been busy [:D], another one due in march, going to be even busier). All I really have time for these days is a quick read of the forums between feeds, nappie changes, tantrums, and baths.Sometimes those things are all at once [:D].

----------and I guess thats just the wife
Look forward then to the next tour production in about 2030 ---probably quite soon in fact after the updated HTTR passes Arjuna's bug scrutiny..........
Cheers but they do say if you want a job done ,ask a busy person--which ideally suits your status.
