What are SHPs and LBMs?

[Alby]

shps are Icon images you see in the game, tanks, planes, men etc etc...
Lbms are the pictures you see when you are purchasing units or looking in encyclodpedia etc etc...

[rbrunsman]

Well, I don't agree with this new unit's cost!
Way not to change the noun "cost" with "Reward" and put it to
1.000.000.000 £ (GBP) Dead or Alive

Unless I've some extra stuff that's not out for everyone, mine dogs are already in my 7.1 oobs.
Anyhow, they'll be in 7.2.

[RamBear]

Hmm.. will old save games be compatible with this new patch?

Just wondering if it would be wise to start a new campaign

Ps. Can't you even give us some hints on what the 'big suprise' is?
