Sure, it is the opening music for the movie Battle of the Bulge from 1965

Just FYI: when only a small number of players were left on the preceeding round's end -
our auto-mapresizer set St.Vith to "small size" (which it does not have, afaik).

It loades the 64p mapsize but only with 125 tickets on each side and no crosses on the flags.

Edit: Knallkopp just told me, that the same happens with other maps that don't have "small" 16p sizes (e.g. Cobra). Hope that helps.

Does the auto-mapresizer check what sizes are available for a map? St. Vith doesn't have 16 and 32 layers, even hidden. I suppose, when the server was commanded to launch St Vith 16 and it couldn't find that layer, it just launched what it could find - St Vith 64, identifying it as 16.

Anyway, I'll contact Knallkopp.

After spent some time on mapping, I must admit that the mapper had so much spare time!  :P I launched the map in the editor and I could only admire how detailed this map is and how much work this map cost. I always wonder on some tips, how to speed up the mapping, for example I looked at the cablepoles and I was quite shocked of how many objects 1 cablepole is built. Is there any tip of copying such objects in the editor? Because when I copy such object which consists of many smaller objects, the result is that all objects don't match each other and I have to connect them again - is there any solution for this?

What is the point of that flag?
« Reply #24 on: 21-06-2015, 18:06:16 »
It does not stop the other flags from getting capped.
If you hold it until the end of the round, still you get the fastbleed and lose.

5hitm4k3r said it is intended to serve no purpose,
but I replied there must be a point to this flag.
Otherwise, why would anyone put it there...right? Right?

IIRC it serves as a forward tankspawn, so axis have some extra tanks and can keep their armor in the frontlines (more) continually.

Yeah IIRC the idea is that the Germans can take it optionally to get more tanks.

This flag should be part of the city sector, or at least should unlock some flags, so americans who stay there will have any chances to counter attack insead of being surruounded by crossed out flags. If capturing all 3 flags in the city could open the last sector like it does now, but with exception that sector won't lock untill Wiesenbach is also captured it can result in very interesting gameplay, with two front lines from both side of St. Vith  ;)

Mmm, makes it harder to win for axis. In my experience it is already quite hard to win, so dunno about this solution.

One thing we could do: Make it so the flag becomes automatically German once the third sector falls.
