Profile of James Hale

I can think of a part of your anatomy that *won't* be functioning after New Year's eve.

Hint: your rectum.

Great to see another art contest, Kristof. Best of luck to everyone!

I'm trying to find the original source image for Rapid Conscription, the one with a Penal troop on it, before Relic changed it to use Conscripts (and overwrote the original image).

Would anyone here by any chance happen to possess it? I thought I might get lucky and find out that one of you data-loving types had kept backups of previous data archives. You don't know until you ask, right?

I know there's an image on the old Soviet commander guide here, but it's not the quality/resolution I am after.

Thanks.

Who is 'nigo' and how is he a reliable source?

I would welcome your perspective...

No, you'd welcome another opportunity to insult me, patronise me, misquote me, set up straw man arguments to circle around and repeatedly dismiss a logical point despite there being repeated examples of evidence throughout this game's balance history to support it.

So no, let's not go there. I don't have the interest; I merely wished to share my opinion with respect to not being in favour of giving the Soviets four-man weapon teams. You're free to disagree with that, and doubtless many will, but both your tone and assumptions are way off the mark.

That said, I appreciate your willingness to self-associate as a pedantic, argumentative bastard. That's not a compliment to yourself, and largely stems from over-analysing everything and simply reading what you want to read rather than what was actually written down. For example, I never said - nor have I ever assumed - that Soviet weapon teams underperform compared to German ones, and yet this appears to be the basis for your counter-argument.

Also, please don't repeatedly question someone's understanding of a topic throughout a post. It comes across as arrogant and patronising. All I said was that I do not understand Peter's desire to standardize everything per cost; I should probably have rephrased that by saying I dislike it, as I do understand it from his PoV, even if I generally disagree with him on that. Obviously this is something under discussion within the beta group, though.
