Sorry to hear that, hope everything turns out fine. We can wait for you -- we already waited this long, what's another week or two? I am sure BLUEFOR wouldn't want to play it without you.

Looks like we will end up playing a smaller scenario isntead, since at least two participants will be missing today (it's that time of year). We will just keep trying each week until it happens, no big deal.

Most important thing is to have the latest version of Steel Beasts, which is currently 4.397. Then download Teamspeak 3, which is free (just search for it on the Internet) and log into server 216.22.24.158. A microphone is kind of required to play, though. That's it really, there is a Map Downloader software to download, but that can be handled once you show up - its a tiny installation.

@TSe419E Any update on your Internet situation? Should we dispatch Tankhunter to your area for tech support? 🚚💥

It's OK, we will delay one week -- Tankhunter has some scenario he made that he is dying to terrorize us with.

To add to that, the one guy (with LMG) that is up higher is actually a bug that we *think* has been addressed in a future 4.4 upgrade. This has been a tricky situation - it rarely happens and it has to do with the trench being angled in a specific way and the soldier's interval places him in a location where he isn't perfectly aligned with the centerline of the angled trench. When it occurs that soldier ends up being higher on the wall, because he is a little too far forward from the centerline. The point is, he should be lower. It has been an annoying problem to nail down since trenches were introduced, but we think we have done a lot of work to improve and fix that issue, let's see.

Pizarro-based hull, medium armored turret, 105mm gun using M900 APFSDS (or better?), probably M1A2-based FCS w/CITV. Done, fully playable. 😛

OK, if BLUEFOR votes to delay the scenario until the week after (assuming your internet isn't fixed by Friday) then we can delay it 1 week. Let's see...
