Profile of Mortar

Mega bump...

So this game FINALLY is being released in about 33 hours from now. I was wondering if anyone has or will be purchasing it? I myself purchased the "Colonel" edition from Green Man gaming where they were offering 25% off with the code IRON25 (just in case anyone is interested).

In any case, I thought I'd point out that our old friend Bridger (Of Tales of Heroes fame) has been streaming this early this week and has done a lot of tutorial like videos for it as well.

Anyways, hope to see some of you out there playing!

Germany could not "win" the war. What was possible however was "not losing" the war.

Hitler in June of 1940 should have:

1. Ensured the destruction of the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk.

2. Stay focused on the destruction of the RAF and once completed, begun bombing British power plants, water works, and any public works designed to feed the population at large.

3. Ramp up U boat production and completely cut Britain off from overseas supply of food, oil, raw materials and military assets.

4. Do everything possible to dislodge Churchill from his position as head of government while appealing to those in the British government who were more conducive to a peace arrangement.

If Germany had put overwhelming pressure on Britain to pull out of the war, and at the very least waited for this before invading the Soviet Union, they MIGHT have been able to hold on to their gains.

(Its unclear if the Germans and Soviets would have fought. I've heard claims that Stalin was just as interested in attacking the Germans as Hitler was in attacking the Russians. Its just Hitler beat him to it in June 1941.)

Kyle today in the ESL EU twitch chat stated the Roadmap for 2016 is tentatively scheduled to be released in April...probably late April. He also stated they are working on completing the 2015 roadmap first. If I remember, the ONLY thing on that roadmap not completed was...

Optimization? Could it be true? Is Optimization actually a possibility for Coh2?

Glad to see a fix is on the horizon.

Essentially, from launch of the game till today getting veterancy was like getting a participation trophy. It looked nice but didn't really mean anything.
