Are these part of the game, or do you want them in the game, or what?

EDIT: But nice pictures anyway.

Same question. But looks very nice indeed! Think those would make great maps, custom if not in the game yet.

snake, I don`t mind you posting pictures, but please reduce the size of them so it doesn`t strech the width of the forum. They also take longer to download for those who are stuck with dialup. I am removing the two you posted here, you can repost them in a smaller size.

Eindhoven, September 18th 1944

A member of the Eindhoven Police Dept. summons civillians to stay indoors because not all German soldiers have surrendered yet. A trooper of the 506th rides along on Grote Berg.


But the germans are heavelly stationed there sir, and the location isen't good sir.
- what do you mean with 'good'?
Well the germans are still atacking landing gliders, the Parachtes are heavaly scatterd around the country side and the germans are massing up the big push against the allied forces sir,so i think its ain't gonna be easy!

-You're right with that one........well thanks for the info.

-Corrion....take Paul to Baker and and show and tell 'em what you just told me,got it good,

You know the first trailer? when they take out the 88 gun and when they run trough the gardens en toy store? Well that is the area around kloosterdreef. only ingame it looks not like in real life. so i hope they mean an other battle and not the one in kloosterdreef.
