All right, all right, here I am ! Yes, they are part of the Army. Actually, the Troupes de Marine have the same TO&E than the rest of the French Army. The distinction is more a matter of tradition, and a training that involves amphibious operations. The French Infantry Platoon is currently organized as followed : 1 Command Element : Platoon Leader, 2IC and RTO. 3 Squads : 8 men squad, with 2 three-men teams and 1 sharpshooter. 1 AT squad : 5 men squad with 2 ERYX ATGMs. 4 Vehicles : VBCI or VAB, 2 crewmen each.

I can already see a campaign with a "hunt-the-shilka-or-you-get-no-helo-support-on-next-mission" episode... ^^ Paper Tiger, does that inspire you ?

You cannot imagine the havoc you created in the French CMSF community !!!

I suppose you mean the pic on the right? It sure does look like the real thing, but the other pics look like screens of an "Alpha" version. Maybe they just did the model but ran out of time to fully implement it before the release? http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/combat-mission-shock-force.htm

These two awesome campaings from Paper Tiger! Both takes place during a fictive putsch in Syria Base game : The Road to Dinas - Red VS Red : pustchist POV. Hasrabit - Red VS Red : Loyalists, Guards ans SF POV.

We are still last week, aren't we?

I thought military vehicles don't require a key to function?

Will the German-made "Livarot trip-mine M44" be available for German pioneers?

And could you tell us what are these two "significant things" please? I'm just curious .

Haven't tested the mortars yet, but the delay to call BM-21 MRL was 19 minutes in 1.20, it is now only 12 minutes...:cool: Looks like the Syrian FOs have stopped trying to get a clearance from Al-Assad on the radio every time they need to fire ! Plus the ability for Syrian officers to call for battalion-level arty...

From my experience, artillery for the Syrians works just fine

I just tried to continue a game in v1.21. It worked fine, until I realized that BLUEFOR units weren't able to call for their artillery anymore . The arty panel displays "Access denied" to the mortars for every unit. Does anyone else have this problem? I understand that retro-compatibility isn't an exact science, so maybe there is a few glitches...

At first, I thought this whole thread was a joke >.<
