  1. I started them where they were placed by you, 2 teams in 3 spots. I used bounding overwatch to move 2 breach teams up and then breached in 2 spots. The building that shares a wall with the perimeter wall, next to the target house. And near where the angled hut. Once I breached and had control of the huts, it was smooth. Moved teams to cover and suppress as I assaulted the target building. Very text book, I think. I just would have like my breaches to be a bit more of a shock. The only squad to take KIA's was the one breaching at the angled hut. My other breach went off without a hitch, a few minor wounds but all members fighting when it ended.
  2. I'm not saying I hate WW2 game, just that there are a ton out there and very few modern warfare games. With even fewer done well. I'm sure Normandy will be fun, but I'd hate to see the best modern game stop growing.
  3. I also found the 30 min time limit restricting. I would have tried to move my forces close to the base slowly before breaching a wall. I took almost all my casualties on the movement to the base. Once the wall was breached I had little issues. Fun scenerio thought.
  4. I know everyoen is excited about Normandy, but I prefer current conflict games and would love to see CM:SF either expanded or the game engine moved to another theater. The Balkans are a possible US/NATO hot spot, Georgia has some terrific possbilities, Iran of course, Korea has a good mix of terrain, ect. I just am not excited about another WW2 game, one of the reasons I tried CM:SF was the idea of moden warfare. I just would hate to see the development team get stuck in the WW2 mind set once Normandy is released.
  5. I go back to my youth is wasted on the young saying when it comes to the negatives. I have no idea where they would be or if they survived my moves and /or storage. I understand there was nothing negative, but I try to do what I say, thats just who I am and I said I'd post pics. I do feel awful that there aren't as many as I remember taking and out of those alot were ruined. I'll try to work on bigger, I'm sure there is something I can do but still figuring out the scanner and picture thing. I'm still working on trying to save a few more, but not sure how they will turn out. I'll post them if they aren't too bad.
  6. Sorry for the quality and quantity, between the moisture and just not taking many this is what I salvaged. I added just a few other pics of vehicles cause I managed to not wreak those ones.
  7. Okay, just to let you know I haven't forgotten or blown off this request. I am trying to scan the pics in at work only to find out our system is black and white only(I didn't know scanners were like that). So I have convinced the wife to let me purchase a new scanner/printer/ect this weekend, under the guise that we need to protect all HER family pictures. So I do plan on getting this done ASAP. On a different note, my pictures didn't get soaking wet it, it just looks like over the years there got to be enough moisture on them to make the pictures stick to the ablum sheets and/or just become unrecognizable smears. I tried freezing them and it didin't really help, but thank you for the try.
  8. I head back to the office on Monday. Theres not much, like I said a lot were outright ruined and some are sticking to the album sheets. I'll get what I got scanned in on Monday I hope.
  9. I really enjoyed the Marines module, but just can't seem to get into the British one. I don't know if its just working with what I know or what. But I have all 3 and plan on buying NATO when it comes out. If anything for the player scenerios that come out.
  10. I found my photo album yesterday. I'll get the pics online when I go back to work(they have a better scanner than I do), but I will let you know the album got somewhat damp, some pictures were wreaked completely, some are stuck inside the sheets and when I try to remove them the picture separates from the backing. But I'll post what I got. On side note this is another reason I wish I had thought about the future a bit more, I would have taken more pics, made extra copies and/or saved negatives.
  11. I'm not sure why I see the haterd towards the IDF. Mistakes and collateral damage happen all the time in conflicts, even more so when you are fighting an enemy that is heavily mixed in with the population. As you are a wargamer you'd have to admire the tactics and equipment the IDF has. The wargamers side of me says, I'd love to be in command of an IDF company level team.
  12. I was, Desert Storm are the ones of the T-72M's, BMP's, BRDM's and even a french APC. When I took the pics they were at a collection point(command was having mechanics recover some destroyed/abandon vehicles to decide which we'd ship back stateside) while we got re-supplied and received a new OPORD, so no good excuse except being young and not thinking of years down the road. I took 6 of the plastic coated disposable cameras and only took 2 worth of pics. I had the luxury of a large vehicle(M3 with 1 crewmen short) to carry gear on that deployment even.
  13. I'll dig around in the basement for that photo album over the holidays. My present wife pretty much put all my old gear and memorabilia down there. I wish I had taken alot more photos, but never thought about it at the time, LOL.
  14. I can from personal experience that the 25mm AP rounds from a Bradley will penetrate on the Iraqi T-72's turret from the front and the hull from the flank. I have pics somewhere in my basement of several my unit ran into. We discovered this trying to supress as we ran like hell and ended up with kills.
