@POPIER1 @xAviation Not to mention the weather pattern is insane.

@RealUCBfosho Does it give parents real-time updates on major minus accumulation?

D-Day in Color: Reinforcements Continue to Pour Into Normandy 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Allied troops wade ashore during the Normandy landings as more waves of infantry, vehicles, and supplies arrive behind the initial assault.

LCIs ferry fresh troops from transport ships while LSTs unload jeeps, trucks, and equipment onto smaller landing craft just offshore.

An endless flow of men and machinery that kept the invasion moving after the initial landings.

@BigfryTV Most of the Microprose games would be eliminated!

@Viper1Zero @Zain2061794 If A4 is anything like REFORGER then I'm there with you.

@TheBuddyCSM I was in Baghdad with 3/2 SBCT at the time. Loved seeing those 2/75 Strykers. How'd you guys like them?

[Mike P. @MichaelPatti15]

@SusanJa49584345 @thestateoflou I hope so too! He's going to get drafted early whether he stays at Louisville or not.

@Clint_Davey1 This is a problem in most wargames. If only designers understood the military concept of "span of control".

@bohemiainteract @ArmaPlatform @DayZ When are you guys going to learn how to program decent AI? It's been 25 years.

@PixelGamingCo @BigfryTV I have no idea. Consumerism at its finest.

[Mike P. @MichaelPatti15]

@BigfryTV @PixelGamingCo These games were never alive.

Some of us see it coming. There's zero innovation. Devs just need enough hype to make money in their first month.

Look at the current state of the genre; it's awful. Zero innovation, just the same game over and over.

@jammingames Do it!

@ahui123456 The auto loader takes 9 seconds. The standard for an Abrams loader is 6 seconds, so there's no advantage there either.

@Matrix_Wargames 8 years to make a single player game?

[Mike P. @MichaelPatti15]

@Clint_Davey1 In the contemporary operating environment most of the fog of war is removed thru multiple domain surveillance and reconnaissance, so not as big a deal as one might think.

[Mike P. @MichaelPatti15]

@ArcaneAlpacas Really pumped to see progress. Hope you guys can get some sort of random mission generation built.

[Mike P. @MichaelPatti15]

@GnomeKr @WW1GameSeries Because these games are incredibly boring. Hate to say it, but they are!

[Mike P. @MichaelPatti15]

@BigfryTV Early access. No less than 3 years.
