In preparation for June 6th

[Arnold J. Rimmer]

In preparation for the release of HOI IV I've been ingesting lots of WWII podcasts.
I would like to suggest History of WWII Podcast by Ray Harris; it's well researched and more importantly there's a lot of it so it should tide you over until that very special day.

This looks great, thank you! Now commuting may finally be fun again

Up The Ox And Bucks!


(The hours leading up until the release really will make it 'The Longest Day' ')

Ray Harris? The question is: would Rolf Harris not have done a better job?

I wouldn't count on it. It's a nice thought, though. Besides, pre-orders are special to ME.

I wonder what the "bonuses" will be?

If you mean the pre-order bonuses, they've already been leaked on a Polish retailer's website.

I'd like to suggest the 13 minute video World War II: Crash Course World History, by Crash Course. It's very general but it is good to refresh your memory about certain events and get it in perspective within the entire war. It was also much more entertaining when watching it in class (when I was at school) rather then a teacher trying to teach us a complex issue from out of a textbook.

Do you have the link? If not I will try to find it out on Google, also if you don't want to look for it just tell me and I will find it myself.

Not handy, no, sorry. Just do a forum search. It'll be a few pages back now as it was a few days ago. It was from a page on a Polish site (now removed) and originally discussed on Reddit. IIRC, the bonuses were a soundtrack CD, British & American tank models (for the little soldiers on the map), some Polish models (ditto) and a unique National Focus tree for Poland.

It was a Polish pre-order, obviously.

Funny I was just about to write up a post about doing an HOI section on my military radio show. Skype in for example, tips, tricks all that. Set up thru our sponsors a bracket tourney or something. Is there interest for this kind of thing? Let me know if so I will work up a plan.

I would recommend Ghosts of the Ostfront
