Well done for correcting some of the more glaring errors in the article, although there are still some missing words and oddly placed commas (in particular the last section about the Stuart). Platoon/platoons seem to have a life of their own sometimes :)

My main point, however, is that I don't think the thread should have been removed.

By all means close it but with a message thanking us for spotting the errors that you should have found yourself.

In my opinion the contributors to the thread kept it light hearted and hopefully have encouraged you to read your articles before publication rather than rely on spellcheckers alone.

I do it for free.
Someone needs to try to maintain standards.

I agree with all. Maybe they've had too many bad comments this year...

My qualification is life experience.

I have found recently that many people just don't care about how documents are written, articles composed etc.

Capital letters in the wrong place, text speak, commas either not used or sprinkled around like confetti as the author doesn't have a clue as to how to use them. Commas aid readability and provide the opportunity to take a short breath when reading a longer sentence. As for apostrophes, don't even go there, their, they're.

You razed several point's butt to bee fayre, ewe mite knot sea their is anything wrong with most of this sentence as it is, after awl, phonetically correct.

Without resorting to threadromancy, if a proper check had been made when producing the Achilles card, we would now be playing with the correct version.
I sent my request for two corrected cards to GF9 on 31 October 2015 and I am still waiting for them to provide these cards as they said they would.

Many of the mistakes in the original article were pointed out and subsequently corrected. However, this was also a chance for someone to read the article again and make sure there was nothing else that needed attention. I suspect the author was also the person who made the changes and as often happens, I include myself in this, the author reads what they WANT it to say rather than what the text ACTUALLY says. That's why fresh eyes should be employed before publication.

One more thing, when quoting such luminaries as Teddy Roosevelt (I did go and look at some of his quotes and found them almost Churchillian), please give him the respect of ending his quote with the ".

This has gone a long way from me suggesting that the original thread to be closed with a short thank you from GF9 but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Over and Out.

Must resist..... Must resist.....

Surely we haven't plumbed those depths?

Interesting. Not exactly a unique qualification; not to mention a bit subjective & vague. But then again; based on what you think you know, you might be right.

I would have to agree with you on this point; but, mostly in regards to the fact that since this was a product that was to be mass produced and people paid for. It also had potential to affect game play. I also think it is very unfortunate that those who have the incorrect cards are still having issues getting them replaced. To me that is inexcusable.

I apologize for the oversight. I forgot that I needed you to proof read my post.

Sure; as long as it agrees with yours. Course some people are hard to please.
P.S. I missspelled one word and left out one comma. Did you find them?

I actually am Canadian by birth and sometimes my spelling of certain words crosses back and forth. (Been living in the USA too long I guess.)



In the past I also have found your posts to be worth reading. In the earlier days of the forum I actually considered you to be one of the influencers on this forum. I especially enjoyed your battle reports and commentaries on different units and the various ways in which you utilized them.
In the past you have had a lot of positive insights and some humor to share. I look forward to seeing more of that in the future.

Let us part as friends.
I wish you well.

To Tally-Ho.

Let's fly back over the lines with a cheery wave after a gentlemanly dogfight.

Now we just have to sort out GF9.

Good points tally ho. I remember similar issues with lord of rings sbg. The guys who developed it (I wont use names for fear of causing trouble) must have been devestated when GW began activley screwing the licence.

Now I dont believe TANKS is near that point yet, but you are not alone with your concerns, I asked the same questions way back near the years start (I actually started that thread that grew into a huge debate, my apologies to GF9). Several months later and we are here again, this time over community support issues and slow response to questions. To be fair, guys like you, me and lordof khemri (Who I am dying to call Dredd) are really becoming a source of major help and a voice for these concerns.

I say this with a bitter pride as on one hand its inspiring to see fellow gamers out there and living by the creed, but its also kinda rough that we are almost becoming the go to for a lot of these questions as whom do we ask or consult when we have issues?

Sticking together as a group is the best option we have at present, and thats a great thing that oddly needs a little change.

Cheers JT.
I work in IT for financial services. For me accuracy is key so it's hard to turn a blind eye, maybe I should use Damaged Optics ☺️

Hopefully GF9/Battlefront may try a bit harder in the future.
