I feel he did a decent job with characters in the Ryan series. Agree completely re: Red Storm Rising.

Yeah, that was abundantly clear reading his book.

I don't, of course, blame him for hoping that his wife will come to share his faith. But he's not handling any of this in a mature manner.

Yeah, that's who I was hoping to hear was involved.

Eh, okay. McNeill is solid, my impression of Thorpe is pretty meh.

Interesting. Who do they have onboard from Black Library?

Is anyone actually putting in the work to build out the world of Trench Crusade? I've come across a few stray YT videos, but beyond that I'm really not familiar with what's out there for the setting.

Heck, my grandparents' best friends were "aunt" and "uncle" to me all through my childhood and I was in my teens before I fully registered that this wasn't strictly *true* (And I still called them that until they both passed). Similarly, I'm "uncle" to a friend's kids.

I would ask "what could possibly go wrong?", but I see it's already busy whitewashing war crimes, so. . .

I too want to see Dogs of War--I was never into tabletop, but everything I've learned about them seems cool.

I've still had some good times with it, and I'll no doubt play it some more if they can get some decent fixes implemented. It's just been an utter head scratcher to figure out what corporate is doing.

I would love to know how she continues to get away with this slapdash approach to "research," but we live in a world where some people consider Bill O'Reilly a historian, so I suppose some questions answer themselves.

At one point, I uninstalled it and went back to playing Game II. The quality of experience was like night and day.

Eh, it was fun but buggy on launch, has gotten buggier as things have gone along, to the point where factions have stayed unplayable for months, and whereas we had new content dropping 2-3 times a year for the second game, a DLC planned for TW:WHIII for last spring *may* come out in December.

Watching one of my long-time favorite companies (Creative Assembly) turn the closing title of their wildly successful Warhammer Fantasy trilogy into a slow-motion trainwreck has been instructive.
