Golden Delicious Plays Second Battle of Kharkov

Afraid my wife agrees, she called your accent "posh" But then, she is from the east end

I was wondering how you came to support West Ham when your location says Nebraska

Yes, afraid she has been banished to the wastelands

Pretty "Upper Crust" accent there, Ben.

No, sorry. He definitely isn't. Sounds a nice enough chap though.

Glad to see he uses the old style UI.

When we were testing before release, Matrix said please can you test using the new UI.

I tried- for about five minutes. It was painful- but maybe I'm just too old.

I sometimes play TOAW 3 because for some reason it seems clearer to my old eyes.

Thanks for your AAR .

Funny, the old UI is way too little for me to read. Everything shoved to the right side of the screen.

I did get instructions somewhere for reinstating the classic graphics in TOAW IV. If you're interested I can dig them up?

I play TOAW III for a couple of rather limited reasons;
1) some folks don't own TOAW IV
2) some scenarios would require extensive reworking to be playable in TOAW IV

However I generally find playing these older scenarios a frustrating experience because some of the new features (e.g. battlefield timestamps and overextended supply) really are transformative, especially for larger scenarios

Thanks for your AAR .

You're welcome. I aim to pick it up again later this week.

Most of the rest of Axis turn 2. These get a bit faster now I know what's on the board and what the plan is, but I still need to find time for them.

Incidentally I apologise for mixing up my StuGs and my StGs

[Graymane]

Can't wait to watch, hope I get some time today.

Turn 4 going on into turn 5.

A couple of interesting (to me anyway) asides here on the subjects of wrong way retreats and deciding what to move first.

Apologies if I'm getting ahead of people here- I had a bit more time to play on the weekend and then probably a good deal less during the week.

Sorry- my fault for posting in a hurry. I've updated the link now.

I guess that means you're not my 1 subscriber.

[Graymane]

Oh I am you have to start somewhere, right?

I agreed to a PBEM match last night (watch this space for a future AAR) and my new opponent immediately subscribed to the channel. So now I have two.
