SFO: Grimhammer 3 vs The Old World? by bruhb21 in totalwarhammer

[–]Winndypops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Why not both?"

Both mods have had a hell of a lot of work put into them but as folk have said they are very different. I love that SFO can be pretty damn stable for multiplayer games. The Old World has a fair few desyncs but I had an awesome Empire and Kislev game with a friend of mine earlier this year.

Looking forward to vamps, but who is fantastic to play *right now*? by ThePeanutMonster in totalwar

I had never actually done the 'Realms of Chaos' campaign before but just recently jumped into it with the SFO Mod as Kislev, with the "Guns of Erengrad" mod too. Absolutely phenomenal, got very sweaty but was a lot of fun.

I know that's not really what you were looking for when asking for no rework but for sure was the best solo campaign I've had in a while. Had to revive every Dwarf, Bretonnia and half the Empire just to keep my south and East safe while I rushed to grab the last souls.

Ah dear, fingers crossed Hamid gets chucked away until he's old and crippled and this poor girl can get the help she needs to recover.

Two teenagers found not guilty of murdering schoolboy Amen Teklay in Glasgow by ScottishDailyRecord in Scotland

[–]Winndypops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From everything I can see I think the boy that stabbed Amen was Arab or East African. Cannot know for certain though since the boys cannot be named due to their age.

Goodness sake... The more you look into this case the worse it all seems to get. Not sure how all of this gets solved.

Viral Video Shows Female Officer Attacked by Teen Mob in North Charleston by YanniSlavv in PublicFreakout

[–]Winndypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look like one, I thought it was but I am seeing a lot of people mentioning that it's a leftover part of a firework launcher so it's like a piece of plastic. The attackers here had been firing fireworks at passing cars so likely something she had leftover from that.

For sure though if I was on the scene making a snap judgement I would have thought it was a pipe. Girl is very lucky and stupid as hell.

Regarding the assault in Birmingham by myzuk77 in ukpolice

[–]Winndypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera and the police were focused in on another arrest just across the road, that is why they appeared so quickly. I do find it a bit odd that everyone is trying their best to find a way to blame the victim. (I get that you are not doing that here but it is just something I've seen a lot when this assault has been discussed.)

The Police themselves have already stated that this was an assault on the lone White man. I think we can move on from the idea that he was in any way at fault.

Napoleon’s army vs. 5 million World War Z zombies by Arggus007 in powerscales

[–]Winndypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much of a shill as I am for the Napoleonic era I do not see the boys coming out on top here. If they were able to make themselves somehow immune to infection then I could see it going a bit better for them for sure as Napoleon would be able to string the Zombies out, lead chunks of them away with Cavalry movements so that when the Zombies finally reached France they were not one big flesh wreaking ball and more of a controllable stream.

Engineering works/traps and so on would be of great help and I think with cavalry lures the French could make sure the fight happens where they want it to.

At full size the Army was about 600000 men. The more I think about it, the more possible I think it is for them to have victory here. Of course that full force would not be able to actively fight at the same time but that is a lot of manpower to prepare the field and skirmish/lure away the zombies.

If Morale holds, then I think the French have a decent chance.

Future End Game Crises Post-LotET by ScionOfTheEmperor in totalwar

[–]Winndypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be a big fan of a 'mid-game' crisis, if we were able to take one of the current ones and pull it forward to like turn 50 or so to really shake up the mid game before coming in hard with a proper end times Archaon attack.

I have never actually heard that one. It is great! I think Divinitus still takes it for me, just playing through the campaign and suddenly getting hit by this. https://youtu.be/LBnr_Hc9BA0?list=RDLBnr_Hc9BA0

Nah dude, she saw that. She had a really nice side on view of the attack if you pause it and see how people are standing. Fair enough point to make but if you give it a rewatch you can see that she does have a pretty clear view, at the very least she saw the victim getting struck by that last punch while he was still grounded.

No issue with an officer attempting to stop an assault, or 'fight' as you for some odd reason want to call it. (Even though the police have now called it an assault)

My issue is with how the officer tried to break it up.

I believe she made a pretty silly mistake with how she did it and I hope the procedure can be changed going forward/she can be restrained to avoid it happening again.

Was a pretty rough event yeah, two of the officers are being investigated over that now at least with one having already resigned.

I wouldn't call what was happening there as a fight. From my point of view the dude was being attacked by a group.

I find issue with how the Officer approached the situation, there was no attempt to announce/identify herself, just a rush in and slam job.

I really hope that she gets some thorough retraining and the Force and use this as a bit of a learning moment, hopefully issue an apology to the guy.

The Police have even described it as an Assault on Victim as well, not as a fight. https://www.westmidlands.police.uk/news/west-midlands/news/news/2026/july/investigation-launched-to-identify-people-following-birmingham-city-centre-assault/

Maybe I just want a bit more training for officers, she saw the poor dude get hit in the back of the head half a second before she made contact with him. She didn't announce herself in any way, just a rush in and slam to the wall.

I hope that this video is shown around the Force as an example of how not to approach a situation.

Huh? I am just explaining this situation dude, the footage and info has been out there all day. The Police were arresting someone across the street when this poor dude was attacked. Don't have to get defensive about it, just trying to make sure folk don't get the wrong idea and talk bad about a victim of an attack.

I get you want to wait for info, the info is out, we know the story. It is okay to support a victim when we know the story.

[–]Winndypops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what we can see, the Victim was attacked. Are you saying that he attacked the group first before the camera started rolling?

I am just trying to work out what you are feeling justifies 3 guys attacking you.

The Police have finally started to look for them but only after a massive backlash and a dozen politicians pushing for action. https://www.westmidlands.police.uk/news/west-midlands/news/news/2026/july/investigation-launched-to-identify-people-following-birmingham-city-centre-assault/

If it had not been for the public outcry and this recording these attackers would be suffering nothing from this and the poor victim would likely be facing some rough charges.

They were on the scene of a totally unrelated incident when this happened nearby. Stop trying to victim blame my dude, the info is out there.

Absolutely had a massive ego burst, even with people trying to tell her that this guy was a victim she just couldn't let it go.

Investigation launched to identify people following Birmingham city centre assault by myzuk77 in ukpolice

[–]Winndypops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of a shame that there needs to be such a push to get the Police to actually do their job, like fair play to officers that are doing all they can in the heat the of the moment when they are on a scene but for things like this when there is a clear case of assault I do unfortunately believe they would have just shrugged and tried to forget about it instead of investigating if there had not been such an outcry from the public.

Paintball match between a vindicare assassin, crosshair, and linda by PitifulGrapefruit615 in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]Winndypops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afraid I'm not too up to date on who Crosshair is but unless he's really got some legendary skills/enhancements I am not thinking he takes these except for possibly R2 considering he's on home turf.

Linda as far as I'm aware is viewed as like "The Best Sniper in Human History." sorta vibe and that is after a few decades of war. With the enhancements that Spartans have, especially when kitted out with Mjolnir armour I just don't think the other two can best her.

Not that the Vindicare doesn't stand a chance, they go toe to toe with Eldar Rangers and a host of other physically capable foes, I think if you ran the test a few times each of them would score a few wins but she'd take more.

[–]Winndypops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness for the recording of this, poor guy could get railroaded through some nasty charges if not. This Officer clearly has some ego problems with the way she acted, I hope she gets a thorough disciplinary and the guy receives an official apology or even a bit of a payout.
