Good Show Ole Chap!
You guys about Airborne, It’s kind of fun that they drop in behind lines but seem to forget their bazocas in allied territory. Also Air strike & straifing runs are still hard to place exactly where you want them and they can be shotdown or not work at all yet you loose the munitions allocated.

1.71 is out
“Gameplay
- Allied War Machine has had its duration reduced to 25 seconds, cost increased to 250 munitions and cool down increased to 150 seconds.”
Yay!

Guys could you please write down the winners of the 10 beta keys for WIC, cause i’m having a dillema with another guy who is lucas and participated, 10x
July 24, 2007 at 10:55 pm
I will send out the emails with the keys tonight.
July 25, 2007 at 12:06 am
Looking forward to the show -
the intro is………….
…… interesting?
Turn the amps down to 10 instead of 11 and a little less distortion maybe
prefer the old, but oh well.
Cheers

Hey great show again guys. About straffing run, the only thing that really bugs me, is that it does no friendly fire damage for some reason. If the Axis and Allied troops are mixed together, the Axis troops get cut down, while the Allied units are still smelling like roses
July 25, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Damn, my slogan made it to second, but i didnt win a key…
An opposing front beta key will be sufficient compensation i think.
yes, that’ll do quite nicely.
July 25, 2007 at 2:18 pm
THANKS to Bridger and Vits for featuring the repLAID pack in there ToH cast!
July 25, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Concerning Rangers/Infantry company.
I was thinking that a way to mini-buff this company into something fun and functional could be to let the infantry of the Infantry Company player gain veteran status easier/faster (I don’t know if Rangers do more damage when they gain ranks, but I think so).
This should probably be on the Relic forums, but they are kinda soaked in petrol, easy flamable.
What do you guy’s think? I think it would be fun to play

Where is the link for the makeup video?
July 26, 2007 at 11:56 am
hey guys great show like always gets me through the day. I never got an email with the CD key. I did the number one pick.
about Rangers/Infantry I think im gona have to go with Vit on this one. The off-map company is the thing that needs to be fixed. And so fair ill have to go with getting AT or even fully vet rangers but always the same units. I mean they are the dudes that are going from the beach. So they are coming from hell itself no?
Again thanks for the pick guys
LoLo

Too bad the intro and rant music was changed. That sucked :S
Great show. Didnt like your rant this time Bridger. It’s far from the truth.
July 26, 2007 at 11:08 pm
no i think he was right on the button. Inf company right now is only good once ur winning. If ur backed against the wall u got nothing. what are u gona do.
July 27, 2007 at 12:08 am
go with motor pool and use rangers and motor pool together to pull out a win early. Use your early power before the game gets to tigers. Use Defensive Ops and lay mines.
Inf is probably the worst doctrine in 1v1, but rangers does not suck if you use them vs vehicles as pumas and against infantry with thompsons.
Evotech won vs QKN at semois in the gamereplays tourney using infantry company with rangers…
If Bridger is a mainly axis player i can understand that he doesnt know alot about rangers
July 30, 2007 at 11:33 pm
I had a couple of idea’s about how Rangers could be balanced better…
1. Maybe if they had some sort of stealth ability like the axis Stormtroopers have.
2. Based on Bridgers idea of having an upgrade to research it could be possible to research an upgrade that makes the Rangers more accurate with the Bazooka’s and maybe make them more likely to penetrate as well. Sort of like as if the Rangers were better trained in using the Bazooka’s or something.
I Don’t know… just a few idea’s.
