The D-Day German book: what an Allied commander needs to fear
September 6, 2019 | Paolo Paglianti
The Late War books are a welcomed breath of fresh air after a couple of years of V4 Mid War. As we already noted, a new balance in the point system with tanks costing a third of what they used to in Desert and Russian 1943 fronts is really changing the "meta" game and the armies we're going to field.
Traditionally, I play only with Allied armies. I began with the British 8th army and added some US troops to use as an ally in my fight against the Mid war Axis. So I naturally moved on to Late war sticking to Allied, adding some new troops to my existing pool of units.
I already discussed the list I'm going to use in the next games and tournaments: it will be a Churchill Company with two Churchill platoons, two Shermans + Firefly platoons, a single Stuart to boost the Company morale and avoid a collapse in case the opponent kills too many tanks. As Support, I'll use the unstoppable M10 Achilles, some Priest to deliver Artillery barrages where it hurts more, an infantry platoon to assault or defend an objective, and some Bofors – the best AA unit in the game, in my opinion, and now really useful...

What's your gaming pleasure this weekend? 006/09/19
Work/real life stuff ongoing...Good weather this weekend so hopefully RC flying. 2 helos and my 1 and only plane
Military flight sim in P3DV4
There is a new release of FSCAI which makes the enemy ai come alive! here . FSCAI is coming on very nicely. I will use it with the trusty FSX@War
Military simulation is VERY doable in P3D. I enjoy having the entire world to fly in as well as real weather. I can fly a mission in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam. In fact almost anywhere.
Planes I will use:
- Milviz F100D
- Milviz FG-1D Corsair
- F84F THUNDERSTREAK by SimSkunk Works
- Mirage IIIC by Resterauvia
- VRS Superbug F/18E
- JustFlight Avro Vulcan
Swat4 + SEF mod
ACCURC2 This is a good RC simulator. Helps with orientation traing for my helicopters
If I get time maybe:
Command: Modern Operations
Fantasy General II
That's what I am trying to play.

Community Update #7: New Map, Hillside
Fri, 6 September 2019
Hey everyone, my name is Michael Tsarouhas. I am the lead game designer on Insurgency: Sandstorm. Today's Community Update is about our upcoming new snow map Hillside, which is available right now on the Community Test Environment. Hillside is a recreation of the classic Insurgency map Sinjar and will be coming in our next content update. Sinjar has been around since the original mod release back in 2007, and was originally created by Jeroen van Werkhoven who is today, our lead level designer. To play Hillside, go to your Steam Library and download "Insurgency: Sandstorm Community Test Environment" if you own Sandstorm.
Sinjar was one of our most brutal, challenging, and to some even outright unfair maps, as our community wouldn't hesitate to tell you. Funny enough, our stats indicate Security wins a Sinjar Push map in Insurgency 2014 48% of the time, almost an even 50%. Even though there was this bile, Sinjar was one of our most popular maps, sitting as the third most popular Push mode layout in Insurgency 2014. Despite the difficulty for half the server, Sinjar always seemed to get the votes come map voting time. People loved...

Dev News #171 Witch's dungeon event is coming!
Fri, 6 September 2019
Hello, Feudalists!
First of all, we want to apologize for delaying announced for this week and much-awaited update with the fixes related to outposts and sacrificing goods to Kallente. The delay is caused by serious problems that we have faced related to the latest server stability issues and now we are urgently working on the fix for this problem. It is almost done now, and we will be happy to introduce it with the promised update at the beginning of next week. Also, we can reveal that our team is currently working on a quite common and annoying problem - the unobvious mechanics with items split, where you need to press "Enter" after input of desired item quantity and then press the "Ok" button in the window. We hope that after these upcoming tweaks using items split function will be much more comfortable! There is a chance that this tweak will be included in the upcoming update as well.
We have good news for all the fashionistas! Hot sunny days come to an end, and dark autumn cold sets in. So it's time to take care to warm yourself! But in a harsh feudal world, you should not only be warm and comfortable in your armor...
