Did I hear this right :)

Post by rebon »

Hello guys and well done on another episode of my fav wargame series :) No hesitation in forking out my well earned cash on this one, and all the others (hmm must be addicted).

I could have sworn while playing German v Brit/Canadian operation that the Brits were speaking in Russian? Maybe a bug or just my imagination.

Also I love the night fighting addition, can any of the vehicles or mortar teams fire flares?

Anyhow well done and bring on the next CC game :)

I heard that some of the German units were speaking Russian because they were OST units...maybe it's them you heard?

Yeah, the german Osttruppen speak russian, as their names in the unit panels also indicate. A nice touch is that their HQ elements are usually german, so you'll get a mix of german and russian, sounds great in chaotic firefights, especially at night.

Welsh is SO hard to understand :p
Hard work is a good way to succeed. There is less competition that way...

Ah I see nice touch, many thanks for clearing that up for me. As for Welsh, what's that got to do with anything?

If you play one of the operations or battles containing French Commandos you'll notice there'll be French voice cues in there as well.  Tejszd graciously lent is French vox file from his Meuse mod for our purposes.  And if I got his forum handle spelling right I'll be amazed. [:D]  I'm used to calling him by his first name in the dev forums.

The new maps are from Southernland.  21 of them.  There are roughly 14 from Gold, Juno Sword mod, roughly 14 from Bloody Omaha and about the same from stock CC5.
