Any Mount & Blade Warband players here at DU?

[Redleg]

I know it's an old game but I love it for its mod-ability. I haven't played Bannerlord yet.

1. I play Bannerlord, but have never tried the original.

13B?

[Redleg]

2. 13A

Many many years ago.
How is Bannerlord?

3. It's gotten progressively better.

I got it in pre-release, and they have continued updating and improving it. If I had a better system it would probably be great, lol. 13E, '80s.

4. Bannerlord was a long time in the making

I will probably get it one day.

When you were 13E did you have the BCS to calculate firing data?

[bluedigger]

5. Yup.

I was in the 101st. We and the 82nd were the first units to field the BCS. We still had a FADOC(?) in inventory in our conex. We pulled the giant case out for IG inspections but I never saw it opened. Just before we got the BCS, my battery did an exchange with the Canadians and I spent a month up north. They were doing all their firing calculations on a programmable TI calculator.

6. My first battalion used the BUCS

for firing data. It was a big HP calculator looking thing with different plug in chips for different weapons systems. My next battalion used the BCS with BUCs as backup. I was in I-Corps artillery for the duration of my service. Nothing real exciting since we were all general support artillery or GSR.

I will have to check out Bannerlord this holiday season when I have some time away from work.
