Your Own Private Island
For FSX, FSX:Steam Edition & Prepar3D v.3
Free download: HERE
You know you've always wanted this. It's your own island, jutting out into the wild Atlantic, far away from the crowds. There's just enough space for you, your cabin, and your trusty bush plane.
This is no patch of smooth asphalt. No sir, you'll need fat tires to land on the undulating dirt strip that bisects the island. Then again, if you wanted the easy life, you wouldn't have picked a spot in the icy reaches of Maine, would you?
And just to spice things up, there's a float base down the hill from the cabin. It's not fancy, but there's covered parking and a dock if you decide to have some friends tie up. The fishing is pretty good, too.
If all this sounds good to you, then you'll be pleased to know that the price for this little bit of paradise is surprisingly affordable. To get your free download, use the link above.

Combat Mission Black Sea Gets a Battle Pack
The Battle Pack 1 for Combat Mission Black Sea was released last week. With two campaigns (one for the USA, the other one for Russia) six standalone scenarios and 27 new quick battle maps, this is the first official content that takes advantage of the newest engine (engine 4).
The video clip above is from a quick battle scenario I'm playing against the Russian computer opponent. It shows some scenes at a river crossing and the cramped toe-hold from where to continue the advance.
The map I picked for this one is "Village (912x1024)", one of the newly released quick battle maps from Battle Pack 1.
Cheers,

Combat Mission Fortress Italy Got the "Engine 4" Treatment
And what an enjoyable game continues to be. I am in the process of revisiting my favorites scenarios and I noticed that many of them play differently than in previous iterations. Most noticeable for me is the behavior of infantry.
One more bazooka team out of action. Screenshot from "Catch a Tiger", a favorite of mine that teaches you the value of delaying contact with the enemy.
From the same scenario, a bazooka team fires one round against the front of an immobilized Tiger tank. Note how spread the two men team is
In this scenario, the improved behavior while being fired upon with HE rounds may play against the US team. Which gives players an excuse to replay it.
Another screenshot from my unpublished scenario "Rangers and Engineers at Gela". The new and improved peeking around corners behavior is evident in the screenie. The Italian Mobile Group E is approaching in the background. This scenario will need some serious tweaking.
