I hope I can get away with 1 post without pics? I have none at hand right now... (but 160 screens in 2 days makes up for that I hope... Â ) I'm in the process of setting up my OPF 2 portal, at http://www.flashpoint2source.com I'm not sure if I'll put up my OFP screens there however. But I have my old site (http://www.wargamingnor.com), and I will possibly use that site for my OFP screens. I'm closing down Wargaming Nor pretty soon, as I'm setting up 3 other sites... I hope you don't mind me doing a little advertising? The new sites are: http://www.assaultgamers.com (covering tactical shooters such as OFP, GR, AA, etc.), http://www.jointtactics.com (covering counterterror games such as Rainbow Six, SWAT etc.) and http://www.wargamingnetwork.com (a "mothersite of the other sites, with future possibilities for others to run gaming sites with me hosting them.) The OFP 2 site is the one I will put most of my own work into, and hopefully I'll have this site online within a few weeks time. Anyways, thx alot Placebo for the comments on my pics. Always nice to get positive feedback on something that I have put down so much time and effort into! Â Hmmm... I found a screen I'm not sure if I have posted before: Sorry if it's been posted before, but I don't think so? EDIT: I almost forgot... I have an old OFP screens gallery on my site... this is almost 2 years old, and was before I started staging screens. But you can always check it out: http://www.wargamingnor.com/images/screenshots/ofp_screens/index.htm

And now, bringing my lenghty Vietnam story to an end...: the last 4 screens: He looks down at his dead friend, and for the briefest of moments he almost wishes it was he who laid dead on the ground Another dead US soldier lies face down in the unforgiving surroundings of a foreign land he never wished to come to Lets just hope mankind some day will stop all wars, and stop this useless waste of young lives The A Shau Valley falls back into quiet and peace for the time being... but the war is far from over Yes, that's the last of my my saga. I'm not sure I'll do another series of this magnitude anytime soon. Maybe I'll just go back to making separate screens. What do you all think? (For the record, this series consisted of 160 screenshots! I started it early in may, had almost 300 screens before I started to edit them, and it took quite some time to get it all right. Some things were dropped along the way, for example I had planned a lenghty airfight sequence between the F-4's and MIG-17's but it just didn't happen)

Continued: The VC fought to the very end, surrender was never an option A young US soldier hears noises from a VC on the ground, this particular soldier has just witnessed his best friend getting his face shot off and his emotions are in a mess He hovers over the VC, who is just barely alive... the only thing his messed up mind can think of is revenge for his best friend... Moments later, the VC isn't making any more noises...
