Yes me too...I'm working on adding radio traffic slowly but surely. I only have the first three months of the war done though. See sample below. Basically I'm reading the BdU daily logs and only picking stuff that makes at least a little sense gamewise. If anyone wants to jump in and take a few months/years off my hands it'd be great.

I'm just trying to add a few things around the edges you know, I don't have the knowledge required to do much more than that. I'm hoping that other modders will be inspired by all the ideas in this thread to work on their own projects too.

As Karl Marx would say "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs"

If I get around to it, I'll animate the whole thing so the ropes get a whipping effect also.
Maybe even a bit of bending on the Pole?

Thanks Privateer, check your PMs about the ropes.

I have two Turms done so far...out of about 26 that I can count. (I don't think all those are actually used but not sure exactly how many I have to do yet).
