I can see why their You Tube channel is popular. I watched this video first; it's rather well done.

The Tank Museum
The Tank Museum.jpg The Tank Museum in Bovington, England, doesn’t usually rank among the world’s great museums. Located next to a military base in serene countryside, the collection of around 300 armored vehicles attracts only a few hundred thousand visitors a year, mainly families on rained-out b...

Re: Update Konsole
Translated (roughly):
"Hello, is there an overview of updates for the console?
I can't find any patch notes for this.
Would also like to be able to play multiplayer on the console"

Re: Free France Campaign
Hello everybody! Does the author plan to make a company after WWII in Algeria and French Indochina Vietnam ? Hmmm. Emulating that game in OOB would be a rather ambitious undertaking for two reasons: 1) It's a first-person shooter game which is not OOB-style at all. (If it was, I wouldn't be here.) ...

Re: Erik, you are challenged to improve your Battle of the Bulge map!
If we had some crater decorations these would of course already be in place :wink: Now if fixed craters were crated on-map after heavy artillery bombardment, say 100mm and up... Well, there is only one man on earth who can ask for stuff here . . . and actually get it once in a while . . . and that ...

Erik, you are challenged to improve your Battle of the Bulge map!
You would be well advised to take advantage of this lidar survey of the battlefield. I doubt that you have included these "nearly 1,000 previously unknown features of the landscape, such as foxholes and bomb craters" in your scenario map. When can we look forward to an upgrade? ( :wink: ) ...

Re: Legacy Patch - v8.6.9 (End of Mac support)
Well, I am sure that it was a tough business decision that weighed the benefits (that is, profits) to be gained from producing a Mac version of their game versus the costs (that is, personnel). This topic came up recently with a forum member who may have run into difficulties, having been unaware of...

Re: Erik's campaigns & mods
Oh yeah, definitely. Good point, ctskelly. Got to ask that in the future. Note the opening post in the thread in which they announced the decision not to support Mac was dated 28 January 2021. That was the day they released the first Allies DLC and the patch that went with it. They put this blurb on...

Re: Attack or Defend?
One of my favorite war movies is Sahara from 1943. It stars "Humphrey Bogart as an American tank commander in Libya who, along with a handful of Allied soldiers, tries to defend an isolated well with a limited supply of water from a German Afrika Korps battalion during the Western Desert Campai...

Re: Attack or Defend?
Leaving AI prowess aside (I can tell you, though, that it is not just game engine performance but scenario design; the word I use is "choreography"), my personal preference is for valiant defense. The worse the odds, the better (up to a point). This reflects the absurdity of a namby-pamby ...

Re: Bug Fixes?
They say they fixed some of them in the version 10.0.0 patch. I did check a few recently reported things and saw that they had been addressed. Back in my crazy days, I may have thought to keep an inventory of fixes that I made in my "personal" copy of OOB but I recently became sane again a...

Re: Cavalary graphic bug
I hear you. Well, why don't you at least keep an eye out here once in a while to see if the game does improve and grow? For, and I think Slitherine knows this, despite it being 8 years old and somewhat neglected, it still has a core of fans and occasional new players. This I attribute to the gamepla...

Re: Cavalary graphic bug
So, yes, indeed, "I leave it" as you put it, and "THEY" won't get my cash. I am sorry to hear that because the game, warts and all, needs your cash and that of many others in order to grow. It's okay as it is — cavalry graphic and other issues notwithstanding — but, as I have sa...

Re: Cavalary graphic bug
Tone it down, please. Although, I can understand your frustration. The problem with this game, as I perceive it, is in the "They" in your sentence. There seems to be no official "They" anymore. The original designer team, The Artistocrats, is moribund. The head designer left town...

Re: Erik's campaigns & mods
Sorry, Erik, but I had to pull the plug on the second scenario, the Raid on Taranto. The reason: excessive "Thinking" time. I believe that problem is being caused by having 52 units in one AI team, all assigned to "Seek & Destroy": Screenshot 1.png As we have discussed at tim...

P.S. — Knowing your style, I was suspicious as to why the Italian transports never moved. Their escort MAS torpedo boats came charging ahead, but at my fleet and by themselves. I notice that there are red exits to Benghazi and I am betting dimes to doughnuts that you meant for the transports to make...

If I had the ability, I believe I would change my forum name to Chrysalis . For, after being away from the game for a while, I have emerged from my cocoon in an altered state. Namely, I am no longer a producer and editor. I have become a CONSUMER of OOB! Oh, I will still dabble a bit in producing an...
