And bugger me it was cold last night.  Especially at 0330 when they wanted an aircraft de-icing.  I lost the feeling in my hands despite wearing gloves and holding onto the pipework carrying the heated de-icing fluid

Morning guys.

I am in absolute anger .

The damn f.....g warranty (mutuelle in french, sorry i don't have the perfect translation here) of my wife refuse to take in
account a psychological affection , in order to cover her loss of salary:
after 3 months of being sick, a french fonctionnary dive from full salary to half salary, it's the law.
Private warranty are supposed to help you: you pay money each month, and when you have a medical bill, they compensate a part of the difference.
Now, the damned bastards with wich my wife had made contracts refuse to cover the loss of salary BECAUSE it's psychological, despite the fact that the LAW ITSELF say that a few disease , among them PSYCHOLOGICAL disease, should be taken into account to compensate sallary.

I HATE THIS DAMN SYSTEM where you pay for nothing back .
I think these guys should be glad that there is 250 miles between them and me, because if in the same town, i would have bring my 240 lb to cope with them

Hi everyone,

We are aiming for a release Tuesday afternoon US Eastern time, with Wednesday and Thursday as backup dates in case we need more time for the final store setup and QA. This is our first release with a printed manual through the new store, so we're doing extra QA just to be sure everything is fine and that means Wednesday is probably the best bet, though Tuesday is possible. Also still testing the final gold master, it is final now but we're looking to see if there's anything that we can get a head start on for the first update.

This weekend, as part of the QA I played the full campaign on the Gold Master in between other projects - got to October, 1941 without spotting a single issue and had a fantastic time. I went for Leningrad this time, diverting an extra Panzer Group up north and keeping 2nd focused on Moscow and 1st on Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk. Last time I focused three Panzer Groups on Moscow and still fell just short (though that was on "Challenging" whereas I am now playing on "Normal"), costing myself significant progress in the north and south as well. This time, I have Leningrad cut off except for supply across the lake and it looks like I will have just enough time to drive further north before the blizzard hits and hopefully link up with the Finns. It's going to be close though and if I don't manage it I'm going to take a beating when the blizzard hits.

Starting to solidify lines elsewhere to prepare for General Winter, I won't be able to take Moscow but I took Rzhev, Tula, Kursk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and am fighting near Voronezh and Stalino. Might have a chance at those if I don't get too much mud and an early blizzard (playing with random weather for extra suspense). We'll see how much of that I still own come March!

Regards,

- Erik

Apparently there is now an American version of Top Gear. Why cant we just leave other peoples' stuff alone? Its not like it will be anywhere near as good.

It seems to work the other way also. I watched a couple of episodes of Law and Order UK. It just isn't as good as Sam Waterson, Jerry Orbach and company were.

Shows like Lawn and Order only work in places that have the Bronx and east LA and such. I just dont see it in a country where crminals doff their hats and beg your pardon before breaking and entering.

Hi Leo,

Since you asked so nicely, I'll give you a straight answer.

No, I will probably not be getting this game. Although some aspects of the Eastern Front are interesting from a military history perspective, the prospect of moving massive numbers of Russian or German chits on a virtual Eastern Front seems 'dry' for my gaming tastes. No offense to those of you that put so much time and effort into it-I'm sure it's a fine game-but it's just not my cup of coffee.

Des, I have small budgerigar. This current one is #8 (in 35 years). Unfortunately the live shorter than we and with all the love they give us and we give to them I think that there are just two ways of dealing with such loss:

Either never have any pet or immediately get new young one!

I always opted for the second choice (my current bird is now 2 years old)...

We still have a 8 month old Doggy, and a 3 year old Cat, so we are still surrounded by pets you could say. I was just hard putting-down an old friend, especially after 15 years. Problem is that I'm an old-line-officer type, and don't show much emotion in real-life. But it helped to tell you Guy's about it, and then the Scotch and soda really helped tonight.
