cheers all

well, i finally got the chance to play winter assault during the new year courtesy to some helpful individuals that shall remain unknown... ...and i do must say i was shocked with the fact that i can't build another landraider since it have a limit now for such a super haevy weapon platform.....total bummer...especially if u have the tendencies on playing at an insane setting (i only play at this setting for the Kasyr Lutien Map and valley of Khorne in the skirmish mode)...what really bit the bullet for me was the BaneBlade...it was another bummer literally since i know for a fact that the BaneBlade is supposed to be at least 2 times the size of a Space Marine's LandRaider...seriously....but the biggest beef that i have regarding this game is the limit that the game developer put on certain super weapons namely the LandRaider and BaneBlade's which in typical Warhammer 40000 world are fielded extensively in order to give the imperial might of the Emperor an obsolute edge over their opponents....so please to all of u guys that are super duper programing gurus in this forum...please come out with a .txt or.what_ever command line program that i could just unzip and load into my winter assault and let this old man have the game that he had waited for like 20 years.....and yes i already went to the relic forum and look for the relevant topic pertaining to the BaneBlade/LandRaider limit and all the explaination that was posted are like latin and greek to me ...please help, ...all i want are to have at least 3 BaneBlades......

i know for a fact that the baneblade is considered as a superweapon by the imperial guards but none the less i think it would be super fun to have more of the hammer of the emperor fielded into the battle field, the thing is i tend to play my game at the insane level ( i like my fight to be mad and intense plus i love racking up the body count ....i don't like to play that take and hold or assasinate setting for me game ...annihilate has been the one option that truelly make my day...hehheheh)....anyways, decided to play the game with a little bit different last night, i was using the imperial fist (space marines) and i had 2 Imperial guard division helping out (cannon fodder) fighting an impressive array of orks and 2 division of the traitorous dogs (chaos), the map was Kasyr Lutien (yes...i know....duh!!!!)and the setting was insane .....the thing that was different in this battle was the fact that i mounted a large assault force and attacked the enemy positions (as in the HQ at the starting point) when they were attacking one end of my allies.....it was funny to see the enemy forces being split into halves since i notice that the chaos bases were literally defenseless....it was a case of the hammer hitting a plastic spoon...oi vey ...after i annihilated the 2 chaos bases i captured a listing post point and built up a bunker and the machine cult station in order to reinforce my forces closer to the action ....it was mad cause i had always thought that the orks were push overs but the sheers mass of them was overwhelming .....as for the IG ...well they were too busy capturing all the points instead of fighting and much later came to my aide ...(is there an option or a button to call out our allies (computer) to come to our aide?) ....none the less ...the game ended at 4.30 am and i racked up a kill of 4,025 while losing 1,563 number of men and equipment ...it was fun but very tiring....

well, my system is basically just a 1G DDR Ram with 128mb radeon display card ....no biggie...i bought the machine just for the sake of playing Dawn of War and thus far it has been giving out in spades ...except for the fact that i had to change the power supply unit due to overheating (i think) but truth in all it's a worthy investment .....i'm still contempelating of installing another fan inside to help cool the machine down cause when ever i play during the weekend, i have to open up my air conditioning unit to the max and freeze me balls off...winter assault literally!!!!!.... ...well here another fun time that i had during the raya haji holiday ...decided to play "Into the Breach" map and i used my trusty Imperial fist units to go bouncing against 2 orks incampement ...i had one computer ally that were the Imperial Guards and as they say in most horror movies ...."let the carnage begin"...the game was a long one due to the insane setting and it was a ton of fun having the whirlwind MLRS blasting from the machine cult base into the enemy postition that was on the side of the wall (i was blasting blindly)....and i had to do more of a raiding/harras action with 2 squads of assault space marines that jumped into the enemy base ...the first few assault were sheer class ...hit and run ...but after that the orks had a big surprise on the other side ...a squigoth!!!!!.....by that time it was a change of startegy altogether with the assault squad opening up and drop pods of dreads and marines hammering into the fore ......

The Imperial Guard ally was a big disapointment with the computer just utilizing nothingthan Hellhound tanks and those stupid big ogryns instead of the Kasirkin squad type .....worse still i did not even see the baneblade being fielded much less on the leman russ ...i had to dedicate 3 squads of devastor units (the marine that were armed with heavy bolters and missile launchers ) and the chaplain to help out on holding the line for them ...oi vey ....

in the end, after 5 hours of grueling battle and 1 and half pack of Dunhill lights later ....i end up with 5,348 killed opponent and 3,450 dead marines ...as for my ally ...well they lived and the loss to their party was stupid and reckless...4,000 plus dead .....that would be the last time i rely on the computer to provide support for my troops....

hello all, recently i've installed a wonderful mod called "Total War for Winter Assault", and it was a truelly awesome mod ....for beginners, you get as many Baneblade tank as you want (the vehicle limit is gone)...you get at least 9 Bassilisk Artillery tanks (it used to be only limited to 3), as for the other nasty little things that u could use in huge abbundance is definetly the Deamon Prince as well as at least 3 Khorne Bloodthirster....oi vey...while the eldar and the orks and the space marines really open up a huge gauntlet of kick ass weaponary that are second to none ...(i swear to god seeing 2 squigoth and 3 avatars truelly puts one into reakoning the power of ones mettle and strength.....).

i've thus far been playing this mod in skirmish mode and have yet to see it at any CC...and a word of advise, please put your resolutions settings at either medium or low cause once the massacre begins u swear to god that your pc's processors be doing overtime....(and don't even think of putting on the dead body remnants on.....jam)

as for battle report, thus far i've had played 4 games thus far and comprises of Kasyr Lutien,Bloodshed alley,Into The Breach and valley of Khorne.....out of these 4, only the valley map was a game that i enjoyed immensely since it's just me and one computer opponent and since the map is small it was a sheer pleasure slamming the orks back to the stone age with the 9 Bassilisk artillery (entervals of earthshaker rounds into the encampment was much like rattling a hornets nest ....arghhhhh)the Kasykyn squaddies were a sight when they fought enmasse against the green tide and when the baneblades came it was a true epic battle seeing it blasting the squigoths (they were 2 of those nasty thing)..the game was on the Harder setting...as for the kill...4,034 dead orks...oi vey...imperial guards...3,671 dead patriots of the emperror...

the other three maps was set on insane and it was a reduntant game due to the fact that needless of whom i allied myself with the computer opponets were either to huge or to weak to withstand the huge influx of the emperrors might ...(it was like looking a big blue dot smashing into another big/small dot...)..bolters/flamer/krak/frag/....etc hell i thought i saw a couple of marines beingused as baseball bats by the bloodthirsters (3 of them)...often these games would end way too soon...without me having to fire a shot.....

so if you want to reap havok and truelly put your skill on the chopping block down load this file here:

and let the massacre begin......FOR THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...oi vey
