Thank you so much, Froonp!

Dear Comrades and brothers-in-arms, my current avatar of Finnish coastal defence ship Ilmarinen is a total disgrace - but that is because I made it myself without any skill. If someone would kindly make me a decent one I would be grateful...

<t> Watched the video tutorial chapter 9. I'm still waiting the manual books but these very nice and clear tutorials have really helped me to get some of the basics. I'm still trying to figure out the sequence of play and the 'impulses' as well as how the combat goes on and how it is resolved, but I...

<t> Swedish Prog band called The Flower Kings. Excellent band with very skilled musicians. Their latest album Desolation Rose, which was released couple of weeks ago is simply brilliant. It's kind of a neoprog stuff spiced with nice sounding old-school playing. The guitarist and leading figure Roine...

<t> Just finished Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt. Fictional story about longbowmen in Hundred Years' War. Very fast to read and entertaining (and yes, bloody) like most books by Cornwell, but I found also the novel's period quite interesting because I didn't know literally anything about this conflict...

<t> I've said this elsewhere, but mine is Finnish general of artillery Vilho Petter Nenonen, the 'father' of Finnish artillery. 'Navodchik' is somewhat wrong translitteration of Russian word and it means (if I'm right) the guy who aims the gun in artillery. That was my job in Finnish coastal artille...

<t> One more happy gamer reports and salutes you! I have recently played three different Civil War games by Matrix, and SOW Gettysburg seems to be right for me. AACW and GG WBTS are maybe too complex for me because their larger scale and very steep learning curve, however I hope that someday I will ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Keke<br/> <br/> This game would be terrific if it was supported better. Official patch 1.03 screws up the weather (no seasonal weather changes!) and degenerates AI behaviour. Obviously it wasn't tested before release. From AGEOD forums you can see that the develope...

<t> I just got the game and this looks very interesting indeed. Being Finnish myself, I never could have imagined that one day I would see a strategy game which has even a scenario about our 1918 civil war...unbelievable! I've tried couple other AGEOD games, but in my opinion this one seems to be be...

<r> Finnish presidential flag (in picture) used today has on upper left corner the Cross of liberty, which has a some kind of swastika included in it. However, the Order of the Cross of liberty was founded in 1918, so it has absolutely nothing to do with nazism. The Cross itself was designed by famo...

<t> In Finland the rough terrain often prevented the use of direct artillery fire support. Our artillery also consisted various different type of guns, some of them were obsolete and dated back before WWI. However, when it comes to the indirect fire and especially defensive fire, I think that our ar...

My nominates are Gods and Generals and German movie The Red Baron. Others came too in my mind, but most of them are already mentioned.

<t> I ordered the boxed version of game, but of course I have already the downloaded version. I like the game itself very much, however it has been a while (some years actually) since I have played this kind of complex and grand scale strategy game, and personally I would have been more than delight...

<t> I also totally agree that map should be extended northwards. Of course, being Finnish myself has definitely something to do with it...[;)] Russian general S.M. Stemenko used the word "secondary front" in his (boring) book "To Berlin" when he was talking Karelian Front 1941-44. However, I think t...

Dlazov66, I really must thank you for your absolutely excellent tutorial, it has been really helpful to me, this game is so massive that a novice like me would be totally lost without some extra help. Very good work indeed!
