You all wanna feel old, I remember reading some of Grey Hunters stuff when I was in high school!  Also I just realized I'm an idiot, I'm in a thread with dudes/dudettes who enjoy military history stuff and I was stationed for a year an a half in Pensacola with its cool Aviation Museum and didn't take any pictures of anything. They had some cool displays for American carrier aviation and a fair amount of Japanese military stuff. Whoops

Yeah, I've heard that, but I'm running a 960, and I'm not sure if the jump to a 1060 would help much. I guess I'll see what the prices do in the next couple of months - the monitor is a go I think, along with a mike stand and pop filter.

Of course my video card decided to die 2 days ago and I just couldnt wait. At least Micro Center was cool enough to price match Newegg, and if the price really plummets I think they will adjust for a month

If the 1080 release was any indication, between AI and crypto it's going to be months before you're going to get a card near MSRP, potentially longer if you don't want a reference blower.

How's your RAM status? I can imagine some of these games being RAM hogs even if they're not especially CPU/GPU stressing.

I could see these games eating more cpu than being ram hogs. Lots of calculations run on relatively small amounts of numbers. Cache hogs, perhaps?

Use the money to preorder the new cards then resell them to gamers with loose wallets the month after release for a 50% return on your investment.

   Truk is once more lit by the light of burning landing ships.  Manus puts up some heavy flak.  The air force helps at Truk.  Here comes another wave.  Get your asses ashore!  Time to start grinding away again!   I'm keeping up a steady rain of bombs.   We see a dogfight over Burma.   I break 70,000 points today! Party time!

Awesome! I wish there was a more modern eastern front game - sadly Cross of Iron is basically just the original CC3. A point about the difficulty settings - I may be wrong but if your intent was to have the hardest possible difficulty settings, I think you set the sliders backwards. I think they're basically "how poorly supplied this side is going to be" re: unit quality and availability not "your troops will be -this- good", so you would want 'Elite' for yourself and 'Recruit' for the AI. edit: Yeah, it's like I described in section 8.3 of the manual.

This is a total grognardy WITP thing. It doesn't matter what side you land on the island from. For movement on land it sometimes matters what hex side you enter from but when going from sea to land it's just whether you are in the hex or not. If the island had more than one hex, though, you could land in an undefended hex and then walk to the base.

  I'm serious about taking this island!  Continue the rain of death!  Likewise.  I have plenty of death to go around.  This is world war II, there is no shortage after all.  I bag another Liberator!  BANZAI! This seems to have worked, I'll give them some time to reorganise then hit them again.  Now that is a pretty formation.  There is finally some movement on at Manus! It cost me a bit, but one those forts are down, I should be able to wipe the bastards out!  We confirm an armoured cruiser today.

So, if you wait to reorganize, you improve your assault value... but, they can rebuild forts. If you attack immediately, it's with disorganized troops, but maybe you bust the last level of forts. Is there a good rule of thumb for which to do? I seem to recall you having some success in the first WitP thread with just relentless shock attacks and drat the torpedoes.

12 August 1944 Two more German minesweepers: M-468 off Namsos, Norway, likely to a drifting mine, and M-370 off Royan, France, to RAF Mosquitoes. Two Russian minesweepers, T-118 and T-114, both formerly American, are torpedoed by U-365 in the Kara Sea.
