Interesting transmission. Thanx

Altought it would be even more interesting to show also some stuff from the game (area's from, for example that bridge in the video)...

This is a good example, how it could be done.

Thumbs up Re: Transmission: Colonel's Market Garden Brief

in light of the gag-order type environment decided upon by "Gerbox" and/or Ubisoft pertaining to BiA:HH, its nice that gearbox takes the time to give us what they can. thanks...

The Colonel is really a wealth of information about military history, and he's really enthusiastic about sharing that kind of thing with the community. Even if we can't give you news about the game itself right now, it's always really interesting to learn more about the history surrounding it. Glad you guys liked it, I hope to continue to bring this kind of thing from the Colonel to you
