• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Down at the Somme WW1

Trees. They've always been kind of a bugaboo in CFS 2 with its pre-autogen engine. I'm looking forward to these trees as we really don't have good artillery and shrapnel blasted forests.
 
Destroyed Trees

Wow! Those look perfect and I look forward to them.

I wonder if they could be compiled into large .bgl files like Wolfi did for his forests? That way the hit on FRs isn't too bad for large areas of forest.

A bit of trivia:

During my tours in SE Asia, you could often tell the borders between Laos and Cambodia from Thailand as the former two still had dense forests while in Thailand, the big teak forests had been logged off and just brown fields remained. Why? The trees in Laos and Cambodia had shrapnel and bomb fragments in them and couldn't be processed at the lumber yards.
 
I'll ask Lindsay if he can do that. Would be nice to have a few forest patches. I'll see if he is up to it. He hasn't been very well lately.
