Me gusta.

I remember that a few months ago a forum user said he has a genuine WWII map from stalingrad. Maybe he could donate us a scan for the campaign (we may watermark the credits if he wants), or get some kind of arrangement

I have this map, but its focus is a little too far north and east of where it needs to be. The one I posted earlier is a cutout of a larger map so we could use it to expand the campaign over time.

I suppose I might as well announce this now. Each campaign two players from each side will be nominated by the staff to receive a sportsmanship award. The community will then vote for the person who best exemplifies the spirit, values and community of IC. In memory of one IC player who meant a lot to me, and IC as a whole this award will be named The Snake-Bitten Award. I will have a thread on the IC forums for people to submit artwork for the award.

We miss you buddy :(

And thank you Sturm for demonstrating the devastating long term effects of shell shock from one too many IC campaigns :p

Tomorrow look for a sample battle map, in the meantime here's the old artwork to instill some of the old IC spirit.

Looking for volunteers to make some updated headers and posters ;)

Here's a Ruskie version of the header.

Probably not. The RO2 campaign mode is more micro than macro though I wouldn't rule it out for the servers on non-battle days. IC will be using the normal gameplay mode with mutators.

Also, I apologize for the delay on the map. I've had to work late the past couple of days so that hampers my ability to work on IC. I'll do what I can to catch up (looks like it's time for an all-niter)

:eek::eek: Oh, geesh.... :eek::eek:

My comment is the definition of 'faux pas '.....

RIP, Snake Byte.

Nevermind, would've missed that too if i wouldn't have been wasting too much time into IC at that time.

It's the friggin' internetz, ya know, ppl connecting all over the world, while actually getting more disconnected from each other and themselves... kinda ambivalent.

I don't know, deep to the core i f*cking hate it. Or maybe it's a love-hate thing. Usually i'd say "hell yeah, IC and great team battles again, lets do it now!", but from today's perspective it's more like:

f*ck, ppl, stop wasting yer lifetime sitting in front of a pc with a headset talking to ppl u will never meet in person! Like i did!

Don't know what Snakebyte would've said to that. Probably: "Grab yerself another Laphroig and let's get these bastards finished! Coz' this place stinks, m8!"


Or probably not. Too bad i didn't know him in person...



have fun,
gitano

Brings a tear to my eye, I certainly miss him, he was my opposing number when I was the German general.

Hate to Combo break (sorry for everyones loss, though I am new here). What would I do if I don't have a clan? By being part of IC does that mean I belong somewhere (i.e platoon, company, regiment... etc) regardless of clan? And are regiments (or whatever levels they are I am still not clear because we certainly wont be seeing real division sizes in player counts as cool as that would be) contracted by clans or dictated from the higher ups so anyone can join them.
Thanks for the info.
Btw if any of you play HOI3 that too would be a sick meta game.

Yay, IC! Had some fun times playing this. I played really casually and still got a kick out of it. So, anyone who might be afraid of the commitment, don't be, you can just hop in whenever you feel like it and enjoy. It's especially nice if you are not in a clan but still want to enjoy organized teamplay.
