An intelligence-insulting map circle meant I only had to metal detect an area about the size of a tennis court in order to find my prize. In truth, the darkness was of little consequence. What kind of idiot goes hunting for buried WW2 behemoths at dusk? Me, apparently. Thanks to an unpredictable day/night cycle and an unimaginative approach to relic locating, the field trip was both harder and easier than anticipated. ^ With the KV-1 sufficiently spruced-up to satisfy the clients (as you prep, paint, and fit components, a collection of progress bars edge towards “acceptable” green zones) I took on my first find-and-extract contract. By the time I'd purchased and fitted missing parts, and topped up various fluids in the engine bay, I'd probably lavished a good two hours on her. Once the rust removal was done, the pictured Soviet mole trembler required sandblasting and painting (primer and top coat) inside and out. ^ The demo, a hefty thing equipped with three tanks (KV-1, Sherman, and Tiger), will persuade you to undertake days of boilersuit-besmirching toil if you let it. Maturing too slowly for some, DeGenerals' novel work-in-progress has an eye-catching price tag ($16) and feature list (14 WW2 AFVs promised for the release version) but, more than two years after breaking cover, it's still at least five months away from completion. ^ Talking of WW2 armour, this is me happily scouring the iron oxide off a KV-1 in the soon-to-be-publicly-available Tank Mechanic Simulator demo. It's impossible to play it without picturing an ace WW2 armour game built around similar Jagged Alliance-style mechanics. The most complimentary thing I can say about Dead Hand is that it sows seeds like a Pottinger Aerosem 4002. A combination of bland environments, untidy collision detection, and repetitive combat against too-densely sprinkled adversaries meant I'd grown restless inside an hour. One Man Army Games' “turn-based tactical roguelike set in a fully destructible procedural environment” should have been right up my catacomb, but when push came to shove we didn't hit it off. ^ This is me not enjoying Dead Hand as much as I hoped I would. For every pic displayed below, seventy will, I'm ashamed to say, be slyly fly-tipped in worlds where sparrows are venerated and ladder-walking is an Olympic sport. Yes, some of them are put to good use illustrating articles about tank restoration and U-boat games (see on) but the vast majority end up littering parallel universes (one day a courageous computer scientist will come clean and explain how 'delete' actually works). I'm not overly proud of the tens of thousands of screenshots I generate each year.

Long-distance lorry drivers = plastic bottles full of piss.
