Exciting news about Battlefront and Slitherine
Ivanov replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
About a year ago or so I played a SF scenario against Chieftain. He gave up and seemed to be pretty frustrated because his troops didn't respond as intended. As an ex tanker he was plotting some elaborate vehicle moves an they just don't work very well given the issues with the pathfinding. Maybe he cooled down since then and got a new perspective on the game? -

Congratulations on getting out of you comfort zone! I can't wait for Steve engaging with average customers on the Steam forum -
That's pretty obvious, at least to me. It's not some teenager YT channel.

What I'd like to see in CM3...
Ivanov replied to Wodin's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
My number one wish is to have working and realistic pathfinding routines or at least being able to give "follow the road" order to a group of vehicles. In my current game I've received a company size tank reinforcements. Now I have to give a detailed movement orders to every single vehicle, just to make sure that they arrive ok to the frontline. It's completely mundane, boring and unproductive task. It often makes me quit the scenario that I was excited about, because I feel that I'm better off reading a book or watching a series than repeating over and over this exercise. -
Looking for opponents, all Combat Mission games.

Chris, I'm happy to continue our CMBS game. -
A Russian politician wants to prosecute a German journalist, who questions the Russian interpretation of the Prokhrovka Battle. https://www.urdupoint.com/en/world/germany-should-prosecute-author-of-article-ab-666246.html?fbclid=IwAR1MZP-SbPnOnaPLmHq-dvO4jl8vOLo_fyldaztfw7QePilocXI9K3nwunw Here the original article in German: https://www.welt.de/geschichte/zweiter-weltkrieg/article196544633/Rote-Armee-1943-Fotos-beweisen-Kamikaze-Angriff-russischer-Panzer.html?fbclid=IwAR2SKBOGp_KyNbBpoqSBTKh9xyy9H2LH_fuDAaAy8snOptgXT6OZuUhOLO8 A newly found image taken at the Prokhorovka battlefiled:

It would make a complete sense, for example to maintain the credible deniability. Those "freedom fighters" imported from Russia knew too much and after the main hostilities ended, they become superfluous. I really doubt that the Ukrainians had capabilities, that would allow them to take down the separatists leaders - this would be the less likely probability for me. It could be Russia, but most likely they were killed in mafia style score settings, since in the post war reality, they effectively become the ring leaders of criminal organisations. Remember Arkan from the Bosnian War? He was also a warlord and a war criminal and was killed either by other criminals or by his former paymasters.

Battle of Leros and the Aegean campaign
Ivanov replied to Ivanov's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Great news! You Sir are amazing! -
I'm reading a book about the Aegean campaign of 1943. Who knew that in late 1943 the Germans conducted successful airborne operation and defeated the British thanks to... the air superiority... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Churchills-Folly-Cassell-Military-Paperbacks/dp/0304366552 I'm posting it here to encourage the modders to look at this campaign. It would fit perfectly into the CMFI scope.

Ivanov replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Yep, me too. Let's hope that finally it will be more than 8. -

Is that the case? That's 50% less content than GL module. -
TO ALL THOSE THAT I AM PLAYING SCENARIOS WITH
Ivanov replied to WhiteWolf65's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Take care Chris. Let me know when you're ready. I hope you'll recover soon. -
Suggested Reading For NWE campaign post D-Day?
Ivanov replied to slippy's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I just go myself an ebook for free. Can you believe that?! Thank you Sir! -
Creating 3D models is probably one of the most expensive parts of making a computer game. So given the Battlefront's limited resources, hoping that they will invest their time and $ in some secondary units, is a pipe dream.
-
Apart from Germans, there's 30mm cannon on Spanish Pizarro APC and Polish Rosomak. US Army was pretty impressed with the performance of Rosomaks in Afghanistan.
-
They are thinking of 50mm. So here it is - finally the new APC will have the gun caliber of Panzer III. I respect that https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-u-s-armys-m2-bradley-replacement-has-a-big-gun-pro-1829796672

Die Kunst Des Krieges Campaign is ready for Prime Time.
Ivanov replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
Great, thanks for the update. As you were working on stuff, the Syrian tactical map in the scenario UK Outmanoeuvred, shows British arty and air assets instead of Syrian: -
Die Kunst Des Krieges Campaign is ready for Prime Time.
Ivanov replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
OK, thanks. So basically, what still needs to be done, are the British, Canadian and Dutch campaigns? -

Will the stand alone scenarios from the NATO module be updated too? -

Thanks! -

Where can I get it? -
Yes, but the Arabs hold the trademark and everybody thinks it was them. Just like Edison and the bulb.

Report of a StuG Brigade - Eastern Front 1944
Ivanov replied to Ivanov's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
For me the best thing about his channel is, that he often bases his research on the German sources, that are normally not available for the English speaking crowd. -
You could start with the ungrateful colonials from over the pond. But I'm afraid if we go down that way, the Arabs may start charging everybody for the use of their numerals.

17 shoots to kill a Stalin tank. This is consistent with my experience from this game.
