    Kuderian got a reaction from Fizou in Fantastic CM videos Hapless!   
    I just watched another of @Hapless 's videos on yt  and I am most impressed! It reminds me of a David Attenborough nature documentary with many hours of footage edited down to a succinct twenty minutes.
    I think the BBC,PBS and BFC should hire him immediately and pay him a King's ransom to boot!

    Fantastic AAR, thank you Sir.
    Your military sketches remind me of Napoleon's with their clarity, functionality (and brevity!) The contrast with your opponent's over produced slick images with fancy shaded 3D directional arrows and mind numbingly boring acronyms is truly stark and imho splendid

    The scenario is Battlegroup Attacks! by George MC. (Thank you Sir!).
    A mix mechanized Syrian and U.K. force face off in Syrian hilly terrain in a PBEM with myself as Red force.
    A BMP-2  seizes the opportunity to take a pot shot at a Challenger 2 with it's AT-5 ATGM.
    N.B. The only orders I gave to the BMP-2 were as follows;
    1.  Reverse out of the Wadi around 20m to gain LoS.
    2. Face towards blue Challenger contact.
    Everything else is the TACai's automatic orders.

    I'm waiting for my man,
    Twenty-six dollars in my hand,
    He's never early, he's always late,

    Here is my poem. It is titled 'Annus horriblis'.
    There is a company by the name of Battlefront,
    Purveyors of fine wargames of which I always take a punt,
    Who's 20th anniversary, this year  we celebrate,
    Though their  missed release dates we all love to hate,
    So three cheers for the one and only Battlefront,
    And I hope the year 2019 won't be such a c.....!

    Kuderian got a reaction from A Canadian Cat - was IanL in Changing light   
    Yes, the lighting is dynamic and realistically portrays the sun and moon positions and light intensity for the time of year, the geographical region, the time of day and the weather conditions.
    The weather conditions are not dynamic but are preset.
    Both have a huge impact on battle.
    To quote BFC's blurb " Fight in a wide range of weather and lighting conditions, all of which realistically impact fighting abilities ".
    One of the amazing features of CM imho.

    Kuderian got a reaction from RockinHarry in Scenario designing with AI   
    Thanks @George MC and @RockinHarry for the informative answers.
    The HQ that who was running ahead was an Inf. Pltn. HQ of an American Inf. Coy. The  whole Pltn. shared the same AI group. I solved the problem by first manually splitting the squads, secondly increasing the time to execute the order and finally painting a more triangular shaped order.
    When painting orders, do you paint 'broad' strokes and let the AI decide on the best placement or paint small exact action spots?
    And will the AI ever split and reform squads itself?

    Great advice! And then you can decide which Theatre of War you prefer before a possible purchase. And remember the big +1 that the CM series has over it's competition is it's WeGo mode.
    Once you get used WeGO mode, you'll never look back to the RTS mode. Sometimes I can spend 30 minutes watching the same juicy 1 minute action turn  from different perspectives!

    Kuderian got a reaction from McMortison in The state of CMSF2   
    Here is my compromise solution that I believe would reduce frustration for most customers and BF.
    Yearly releases' estimates only. e.g. CMFI module and CM:SF2 2018 and CM:RT module 2019.
    If the a game looks like it is not going to make that year's release date then a 3-6 month lead forum statement from BF explaining briefly why.
    Game element developmental updates would be be far less frequent and would have more Suprise! factor (remember the joy when BF and ChrisND released CM:FI ).
    These rules would be religiously observed by BF so customers always knew where they stood in regard to release dates even if they wished for more frequent updates.

    Kuderian got a reaction from Ghost of Charlemagne in The state of CMSF2   
    I am very much looking forward to this  upgrade. I cut my teeth with CM:SF after eagerly awaiting CM2 for what felt like decades at the time. And after a very, very difficult birth CM:SF grew, with the additional modules into a tour de force.
    But let's face it; those poor Syrians didn't stand a chance against NATO force in any conventional battle (although the Syrian Special Forces and Republican Guards were ffing fantastic!)
    The M1 Abrams was even more of an uber tank in Shock Force than CM:BS despite no LWR's etc.
    What I loved was playing  near peer battles between  the NATO forces (sorry, I mean 'Training Exercises'!)
    So roll on late Summer and thanks in advance BFC
