Russian ladies were pretty scary in the skies though... And I think the article says most of the pictures were taken by a Soviet wartime photographer, although as you say there were a variety of sources. Actually another military thing I came across recently was identifying Italian wartime photos. I...

Just in case Erik is looking for a good source of never before seen WWII photos, there was an article I saw in The Guardian about a newly discovered source. Old Soviet propaganda pictures I believe. Some of them seem quite promising for events like the capture of a city or what not. https://www.theg...

Very much too early to be drawing definitive conclusions with respect to Overlord, however I will say the initial version I played (1.3?) is fascinating. Extremely tense even as I close in on the turn 20 mark, not at all sure what to make of the situation. I was initially overwhelmed by allied air a...

It's fixed now. Downtime was barely 12 hours so not too bad, although it would be nice to get advance notice for these kinds of things. I assume they're server maintenance?

Got a ton of games going right now so the other player concern is addressed. Aaaand... Multiplayer is taking one of its usual hiatus Generally sorts itself out after a few days. Guess it'll be my Rimworld addiction in the interim.

Haven't started playing 1.4 yet but I approve of these changes. In 1.3 the allied air power is so overwhelming it's easy for them to wipe out German AA very swiftly and with nothing more than damage to aircraft. Once the resistance is gone things become essentially impossible for the Axis, with armo...

My first experience with Operation Overlord, playing as the Axis. Too early for me to say anything definitive but it is intriguing. Seems like my units are auxilliary though. Is that also the case with the allies? I've played games before where one side can replace lost units and the other can't, th...

Oof. I appreciate the information anyway. Wasn't there some update to Order of Battle yesterday? That caught me off guard as I assumed the game had been effectively abandoned. Didn't help joining multiplayer though.

I'm probably doing something wrong as usual, heh, but can't seem to join the multiplayer 2 vs 2 Znamenka game. It shows up properly, in gray rather than red as I installed the new micromod version. And when I click on it I can see the other players with their portraits normally. However clicking the...

Jgarcia does his turns at a fine rate with me, at least one per day even with extremely demanding maps. Given how well he does I almost wish he'd be slower, heh. I'm a bit hesitant with 4 player maps simply because it's double the odds of something preventing a person doing their turn with 2 player ...

I have three multiplayer games going right now and two of them are glitched, just hangs forever on the rising sun logo when trying to load. To make matters more concerning, one of those games has the load issue on the other players end so it isn't just me. This is a thing which has happened before b...

Yikes. Guess everyone has no choice but to switch to playing Order of Battle because it's working perfectly Know that I am eager to welcome new victims, I mean players, I mean victims...

In my opinion 99 percent of the game is the multiplayer experience, because of all the great player made maps. Since you need any one dlc to access that, it really doesn't make a difference which one... That said you know what you like best so have fun :) I vaguely remember buying Panzer Corps back ...

I like the looks of that new scenario myself :) And wanting to keep naval aspects to a minimum in Seelowe is absolutely fair, I get that. Let me think... How about this then? Move the British fleet farther south. Starting around turn six or so, have a few batches of colonial infantry reinforcements ...

Sounds fun and I look forwards to trying them, thanks! While I appreciate you having a Canadian presence in Seelowe, it seems to me it's too small. There are two ways to approach it, game balance and plausibility. Game balance is pretty self-evident from testing, although to account for differences ...

Ticket or not, multiplayer for Order of Battle is still down. Sadness. Rather than asking who else has the problem, I'll ask if there's anybody out there who doesn't have it?

Yeah this started the 23rd I think, so a good three or four days before the official start of things being taken offline.

Maybe they got started with the maintenance a bit ahead of schedule, so it'll also finish ahead of schedule? In the interim I suppose I could always mess around with some other games.

In my experience that issue is rare but it can and does happen. I had it occur in at least one match. Don't know what causes it, all I could do was wait for it to time out and lose, exactly as you describe.

Don't worry about the language issues, getting all the folders and names and compression etcetera correct is a challenge for everyone at the start :) It soon becomes easy though! Hearing about text issues sounds familiar. I know in multiplayer scenarios, which are really the only thing I have experi...
