Somebody spent a lot of time on that! Extremely funny, now I want to know if they plan to include "Soviet Drunken Masters" in their TO&E?

Regards,

You know, that's the only thing so far, that I have seen, that makes me interested in this game.

But I sure would like to know how he did it.

Heavily scripted animations just for the movie - like I said, a LOT of time was spent creating this by someone.

I didn't realise that Tiger tanks could sneak up on people... Or exactly how committed to PE the German army was...

I imagine they used the full body suit that tracks movement to do the animations. It would be just nuts to script all those movements by hand manually. Or perhaps they have som really good animation tools. Hmm.

You can buy animation templates for such things

If the finished product works as smoothly as the video ran that would be an accomplishment worth praise
