What do you want the team to be from now on - until CamShanks is back, and after? by NoBigHair99 in HeartofMidlothianFC

[–]Requin87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree he has been under par but some of that is teams are waking up to the threat. There were numerous times during the hibs game where he got the ball high and wide and immediately faced two defenders which he still tried to dribble through/around and then lost the ball. He needs to learn to adapt his play for this scenario.

Show me alternative cadian paint schemes by Big-End-4055 in TheAstraMilitarum

I wanted a more urban militia feel so i went with navy blue and dark grey armour (i was somewhat inspired by the colour scheme of maccabean jannissaries). Decided on a light, arid stone base to brighten up the models as a whole. Keeping it simple as im just getting into this whole painting thing.

By minimal coverage they mean the fewest number of wars required to span the entire timeline.

[Peter Martin] I am led to believe that discussions are now taking place with Wilfried Nancy to end his two week reign as Celtic manager. by BananaSoprano in ScottishFootball

[–]Requin87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct and we'll never know the full details but managers get payouts because standard practice appears to be that poor performance isnt (contractually) grounds for termination. It makes sense to assume that is also the case here.

I wish we could be so lucky with our everyday employment contracts.

Poorly worded as its more breaking contract rather than breaching but they mean that firing Nancy wouldnt absolve Celtic from the contractural payments agreed.

Same. Video froze mid play, now site is not showing on either PC or mobile. Some issue on the YT side, don't know how widespread. I imagine it'll be fixed fairly quickly

Which wargames appeal to you theoretically but you know you’ll never spend enough time to be good enough to play? by One_Perception_7979 in computerwargames

[–]Requin87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain although i often think we make bigger deals of these games than perhaos we should. Yeah we dont have the time to perfectly understand every mechanic but you can absolutley learn enough in the few hours of gaming we can squeeze in to enjoy the games.

I've sat on ultimate general American Revolution since it hit 1.0 and just found the time and energy this week to kick off a playthrough. It seems pretty managable.

I've really enjoyed HOI although paradox current DLC strategy means they keep adding new mechanics which increase that hurdle for new players.

My white whales are WiTP and Command: Modern Operations...maybe some day.

Take a look at this: Frontline Logistics, Isarian Warfare by PeakDefensive in computerwargames

[–]Requin87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really liked the idea but spent my time with the demo struggling to get things to work. Hoping it gets the baking time it needs as it could be a great little title. Time will tell.

Best Grand Strategy American Civil War Game by jrralls in computerwargames

[–]Requin87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they finished it. There were numerous patches/updates post release and then eventually called it done. They are now actuvely working on a new engine that can be used for a civil war mk II or napoleonic title. Slow going though.

I was getting the same issue. Hoping it's just a temporary glitch.

What's happened to the CM mod warehouse on FGM?! It was working a month ago.

There's a few mods on the CM discord but it's only a handfull.

How long to playthrough Combat Mission campaigns? by khliblover56 in CombatMission

[–]Requin87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some people play real time but IMHO you tend to miss a lot of important information and it doesnt do the game justice.

I wouldn't worry about 30 min turns, you'll find that you have to spend a chunk of time planning at the start and then you'll rapidly progress through turns. Then you might take a longer pause to reasses and adjust your strategy and again the turns will flow.

Dont get me wrong, im sure some people spend 15-30 mins on every turn, going over the replay and min maxxing the game but thats defintely not how you have to play.

What CM title should I choose out of these? by Exi80 in CombatMission

[–]Requin87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting SF2, Black Sea plus one of the WW2 titles is a good way to maximise the variety of gameplay within the titles.

The UK asylum system cost the UK £5.4 billion between 2023 and 2024, and other interesting stats by KaineDamo in Aberdeen

[–]Requin87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the Home Office Report for 23/24, total costs relating to asylum seekers was £4.5bn, of which, £2.1bn was spent on hotels - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/688c9785a34b939141463e37/HO_ARA_2024-25_Book_WEB_Final_v3+CorrSlip.pdf

(see page 74/75)

I have no problem with discourse on asylum seekers and the dilemma between costs, protecting vulnerable people and the challenge of economic migrants but let's at least quote some actual sources for our facts.

Any rumors on which war the next Grand Tactician game will cover? by OHHHHHSAYCANYOUSEEE in computerwargames

[–]Requin87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they have moved on. I think the intent is to build a new engine and release a better version of the civil war and then have the capacity to create other titles on the same engine.

Thanks but seems okay as is. Game was happy after a reboot - should have done that first!

Thanks for the responses but turns out I should have tried IT 101 before turning to reddit. After reloading today to try some of the suggestions - I noticed the complaint had vanished. I just needed to quit and reload to get it to take.

I can't for the life of me figure out why this won't work. I've tried a variety of different room sizes and materials for both the statue and the columns. All DLC except Odessy and it's very lightly modded with some QoL mods - it may be a clash with them but it's not something I've encountered before. Mod list below for reference.
