Hi,

"The tour features battle locations with descriptions, in-game map
overlays over the present-day satellite terrain, battle lines with
German counterattack objectives, and more!

Getting the Battlefield Tour working is quick and easy:

1. Download and install Google Earth.
2. Download the Battlefield Tour. (70MB)
3. Double click the Battlefield Tour (which is named
“BattlesfromtheBulge-BattlefieldTour.kmz”).
4. Google Earth will automatically open and load the Battlefield
Tour.
5. The “Temporary Places” list located at the “Places” pane in the top
left of the screen will list all battles, map overlays, battle lines,
and other features which can be toggled on and off. Note that
selecting to display all of the tour’s features at once may cause
Google Earth to respond very slowly."

Been playing around with this and you guys got to have a look at the
maps and how they almost seamlessly integrate with Google Earth

Battle of the Roadblocks is a good example as is Dinant or Die

This Google Earth Tour is an excellent resource to see where the
various maps and battles of BFTB integrate into the Big Picture -
kudos to whoever created this.

Excellent idea and really well done.

And since you're really tired and in dire need of a holiday I'll post
this update for you :

"Last night we submitted our latest build 4.0.225 to Matrix so they
can prepare the first final candidate installer build. If this passes
muster we will sign off and the game will enter production and should
be released in a week or so. However, if previous experience is any
guide there will be a few minor glitches to resolve and we'll probably
have to do a second final candidate before signing off.

So we're very close now"
