Ok Mr Hailstone, so...what kind of a bad-ass rig are we talking about here ? [8D]

[Hailstone]

Sir, let me start with how honored I am to have received your email. Says A lot.

This is the rig I just got from Amazon: CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Liquid Cool GLC4200A Desktop Gaming PC (Intel i7-7700K 4.2GHz, NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 2TB 7200RPM HDD, 128GB NVMe SSD, WiFi, Win 10 Home), Black. Additionally, I also replaced my audio with Boss speakers (Companion) and replaced my router with Netgear Nighthawk AC3300 Triband, with dual ViewSonic 24" monitors. I use that to play games like Doom and Deus Ex at the highest settings for maximum immersion. Just surprised TotH demanded more than my rig could provide when compared to the other games.

Thanks for listening. [&o]

Like a musket compared to a 155mm Long Tom, I'm still banging away
on my L775 Toshiba Lap Top with Win7. It doesn't do the dishes, mow
the lawn or even brew beer but its a good friend and has given me
many hours of enjoyment. TotH, except for the mega scenarios and ones
with unlimited visibility, seems to play well on it. Maybe one day I'll
go out and get myself a badass rig to replace it. Retirement not to far
away...

Cheers All!![:)]

i retired 31Dec16. i had a lot of 'saved vacation'. years and years which i turned into a cyberpowerpc and
other toys.

i actually got it to run "command: modern air/naval operations" which is the most incredible
piece of software i've ever encountered...

[rico21]

You talk about this game that incites to pollute the planet?

[dox44]

my bad.

lost my etiquette for a moment.

i'm fine now.

[Hailstone]

Glad to see comments coming back.[:)]

[rico21]

...political, It will not make me believe that this game is not political...

[UP844]

I always loved early Panthers, they are so kind they sometimes self-destruct themselves [:D]

[rico21]

From the turn 9, 15 seconds of delay on my rig ...

[UP844]

Is this your latest scenario, devised to knock out Hailstone's badass (and alien [:D]) rig? I didn't dare to mess with it, but I could give it a try...

In the meantime, I finally managed to win "Devil's Hill" [;)].

I took the two northernmost VP hexes, then I hid my airborne squads in the woods and below the ridges, waiting for the AI, which charged forward in Russian/Japanese style, abandoning the southern VP hexes. I dealt with the infantry with 1-hex fire [:D], the I killed the halftracks (through stun+CC, the bazookas seemed incapable to hit anything, even at 1-hex range). Finally, on the last turn, a single squad raced forward but I didn't manage to take all the VP and get a Major [:(].

Please note the kill ratio [8|].

man i lived in north carolina for 2 1/2 years while in the USMC. kill devil hills was a great place to spend a weekend. if i get motivated i'll post some pictures...course
they are from over 40 years ago. IIRC the plane their is a replica, the real one is in the smithsonian.

[rico21]

From the turn 10, 30 seconds of delay on my rig ...

[Hailstone]

Well, Here's my result for lag times with Rico's "The East War". I started to notice the lag around turn 8, by turn 9 it was 2 sec, Turn 10-4 sec, Turn 11-7 sec, Turn 13-9 Sec, Turn 14-9 sec. Though it appears that the delay has stabilize I did start experiencing having to select the hex twice for the program to register. I decided to quit there. I knew there were going to be more reinforcements and knew that would delay the game further. Rico, I did find the scenario a little strange. First, the line of level 4 terrain with one opening to the next part of the map and for the subsequent map section. That was thinking "out of the box". The other thing was that the Germans have it pretty easy. I steamrolled through the first and second map with minimum casualties and one AFV immobilized. I had such a huge German army going into the final section that it was a foregone conclusion. It became such a burden just to move all those units and that was before the final set of re-inforcements. That's my take.

I wanted to append an attachment but I couldn't see how to do it.

[rico21]

Thanks Hailstone for your time.[&o]
you have really a real badass rig.[8D]
I didn't tested this scenario before its publication because I'm in.
Your results are logic.[:)]
First Impression, I should have to reduce number of turns to 18.[:)]
The lines of level 4 terrain with one opening to the next part of the map represent the years 41-42, 43-44, 45+ with abstraction and a false date of start(06-22-1941).
Did I mention, I have a devious mind?

Hailstone's badass rig thinking about his(*) next move[:D]



(*) or "her"? Certainly, not "its"
