I would like digital only pre-order too. Deliver is pretty expensive (27 dollar) to Finland, Europe.
Only reason I did not Pre-Order.. I would probably receive the physical copy in 2017.

That is why I orginally thought огонь по врагу but he said that wasn't it. There is a post earlier in the thread with a transcript of all of them.Maybe he says something that ends with "это" or "нету" ?
Just trying to think of some russian words that may sound similar to gecko or its ending.
-
The assumption is that "I'm a gecko" is also a distinct, self-contained phrase in Russian rather than an English-sounding part of a longer Russian phrase. My Russian is terrible now and I can't find my dictionary, but my guess is that words starting with a sound like 'I' of 'I'm' (аи) are quite rare. It is more likely to be inside or at the end of a Russian word (the Russian characters аи are used at the end of some verbs in one form of the imperative, which could be used when issuing orders).
I have listened to every voice file from the game and sadly my Russian speaking ear cannot pick it out.

I've never heard it in RT thus far, so you might be frustrated if you look for it there.
I heard it virtually all the time in BB, starting with the first demo. I think it was a crew of an ATG that first time, but riflemen used it a lot too. It must have been a common phrase, like "Look sharp now!" or something similar.

Огонь по врагу. Possibly this, put it in google translate and his the "say" button and see if it's similar.
It means "fire at the enemy"

You can keep the crow, you'll need it when you get hungry. And why is it not clear to you that the whole time I am talking about Russian words which I don't know because I don't speak Russian? You made an illogical leap from talking about Russian to talking about German. Can we get back to Russian now? I'd still be interested to know what Russian phrase sounds like "I'm a gecko".
Michael
Can you give me context of when I game they say it? I can't think of any and went through the script and couldn't find one in my mind that sounds like that to my ear. I'd like to help you.
-
This sort of reminds me that in CMBB the Soviet troops used a phrase that always tickled me. I don't know what it meant or even what the actual words were in Russian, but to my ear it sounded exactly like, "I'm a gecko!" I used to smile every time I heard that and I heard it a lot. So I guess you could say that BB made me happy even though it didn't run well on my machine.

I tried so hard to figure out what it was with no luck, I just don't hear it
but I have similar experiences with German language phrases in Combat Mission. -
It is saying "done talking" ie: over

One of the captured was a Brigade commander and Dmitri Yarosh was wounded. The piece linked to in the OP stated both sides had referred to the Ukrainian soldiers at the airport as "cyborgs". Maybe the author doesn't understand the intricacies of the Russian language. All separatist uses of the term were in a mocking manner and in a very negative context. And of course Kiev will state that they withdrew, but it is clear that they were pushed from the position, but the airport was symbolic only, the more important battles are the ones being fought to complete/prevent another encirclement of government troops, I'm not sure how successful this one will be. The southern cauldrons in the summer made use of the Russian border as the anvil, in this case the entire encirclement must be manned making it a much more difficult task.
I'm not sure why "FSB" would be working outside of the borders. Even in the event of some covert operation we have organizations for that before we would send internal security troops. Out of my own curiosity, are there FBI units fighting battles in Afghanistan?

I'm not from Russia, don't know some/many of the things you do, am not a Russophone and don't have any breakdown of what was direct knowledge on his part and what was research, though I think some of the research he did and presented regarding origins of Spetsnaz was really good. And what he describes of some of his Spetsnaz training is directly borne out by declassified or stolen Spetsnaz training films now watchable online. Am most interested in knowing what you say Suvorov got wrong, and be sure to indicate the time frame to which you assert error on his part. If needed, by all means start a separate thread.

It is amazing to me that the United States did not require threat analysts of theSoviet Union to speak Russian or to at least have a working knowledge of at least operational terms and unit designation types. Our analysts most certainly speak English and/or the language of who they analyze . Differences in thought processes are interesting to me.

MSV=Мотострелковые Войска=Motorised Rifle Troops.
Hmm, I thought this was as known to foreigners as Воздушно-десантные войска. I guess my perception was wrong again.

Наряд - so much in such a small word.
I can think of a couple with so much more

I remember that in front of our barrack there was a large rock that seemingly often needed to be painted a different color. Salary was difficult to obtain, but the budget was always available for paint for that rock.

I know how to sing it but not play it
did they make you peel potatoes as they do now or maybe even more?I probably have peeled more potatoes than Lukashenko has seen in his entire life...

I was 6 years in the Russian Infantry late 90th early 2000s. I do not swim in fountains. I do know how to play гоп-стоп зелень on guitar however.

You must've missed out on CMSF. The mosque you were under no circumstances to destroy would inevitably be festooned with machine gun and RPG positions. Should you surrender to frustration and level it, you'd lose big-time points.
I wasn't aware engaging enemy forces in a house of worship, hospital, cemetery, etc.whom are engaging you was a war crime.

I know you guys in Russia have been fed a long diet of NATO wants to invade us and destroy us various other crazy stories. I don't want to get to sucked to far into that rat whole but let me simply assure you that that was never the intention of the NATO governments and it sill isn't. Oh I know someone somewhere can find some crazy government official or elected parliamentarian saying things that make you nervous - trust me we Canadians know all about that. But the existence of plans and some low ranking guy's statements are not evidence of hostility.
And you were fed a long diet of the evil Russians are going to invade West Germany at any minute, that happening was about as remote as NATO invading East Germany. That is just how it was, you thought we were going to invade you, we thought you were going to attack us. Neither side was going to but made the other think they would.
I have seen a lot of American TV/movies/even news stories from the 80's depicting life in the Soviet Union. It must have been some other Soviet Union, it wasn't the one I lived in - but I'm sure the same can be said about the depiction of the West we had.
-
Good work. Three questions:
- why do Russian Forces attack on that specific operational axis (and do not instantly shift south when meeting resistance, for example down to Sumy-Romny-Kiev).
- are there any air assaults or para drops?
- why do Russian Forces do not enfix the Ukranian Forces well forward (ie Krolevec) while pushing from up north via the Klimovo-Gorodnya-Chernigov axis?
The other obvious question is - why concentrate the main effort against Kiev (and relevant routes towards it) at all, if there are no objectives there?
Yeah I agree, I'm under the impression the main objective would be the destruction of the enemy's forces, not terrain capture based. Of course you need to capture terrain to facilitate this, but its not about conquering it is more or less punitive in nature. "You want to join NATO, we are going to kill your sons, destroy your military and make your population turn on the government and NATO." You don't have to capture Kiev to do that.
-
The question for me is - why does Russia see the EU and/or NATO as a threat to its national security ? Who wants to invade Russia nowadays ? Why ?
Even in the Cold War days, it was always a case of "Stopping the Soviets invading" not "Invade Soviet Russia"
Well you don't need to invade a country to threaten its national security. NATO viewed it as 'Stop the Soviets invading' however by the late 1960s it was viewed as 'Stop NATO from attacking' in the Soviet Union.

Krasnoarmeyets (Red Army, I believe?)
Red Army Soldier, the official title until the Army was renamed in 1946 to the Soviet Army. Armyets and soldat are synonyms. Pretty sure there are like 30+ villages with that name too..

Nope, the condition for release is to win a jousting match while riding a bear. Go.
I am a Russian whose cousin works in a circus. Is this a challenge?

The Russian do and would use Thermobaric weapons; which are far more napalm than napalm.
Last time I checked it's one of the areas where they lead, or have an edge. Deployed for arty, air and miniaturised for squad use too.
USMC have some in their inventory. Not really up to date on the rest of the West.
"The West" use and have used thermobaric weapons in Afghanistan and Iraq. The RPO-M is in the game (refer to the manual page 62) however the question was about the use of WP and chemical agent grenades.

You mean like artillery delivered smoke screens?
-
when you talk about range, you're not talking about total range right? You're talking about accuracy at the same range, since it HMG is on a tripod, it is more stable, so it shoots more accurate over the same distance than a MMG would, is that what you're saying? To me, if it's not near a humble, it's just too heavy to be useful. It's a target once it starts shooting, and you can't pop it in and out at different places as easy so you lose that element of surprise. To me. It's not worth it. Just use more MMGs than 1 HMG.
MMGs also have tripods, the AG carries it. MMGs are a crew weapon.

I'm not really convinced for 2 reasons:
First, if such kind of prepared positions were used rencently they were done in an asymetrical warfare situation, where a tank can become a useful pillbox to defend a crossroad or a FOB etc.
CMBS displays a much different warfare condition, where none of the sides have a complete numeric, technological, training, air or land superiority. From what I infer from the manual, also, the entire campaign covers very large portions of Ukraine, thus suggesting a much more mobile conflict than anything we have seen in europe since WW2.
Second, recalling 1991 first gulf war, Iraqi vehicles positioned in static defenses, even with entire battalions, didn't perform much well with respect to Attacks coming from air and ground units, and I am sure the practice didn't appeal too much to US obesrevers. it wasn't a perfectly symmetrical fight such as CMBS' idea, yet it's still the closest thing to a large scale conflict involving troops, vehicles and air assets we had in the past decades.
All in all I wouldn't call for the programming of a specific ability within CMBS game (such it was when we got CMBB, when this feature was introduced for the first time, if I recall correctly), if you really need to display something like that, for a custom scenario or a very special situation, you can use the terrain as people shown here, but in my opinion it's not a practice that would require a specific effort in terms of game representation/programming.
In a magic world we might ask for Gen. Patton's opinion on the subject, I am sure a line of his would be quite enough to close the discussion to us all.
Having just read the chapter on defense in US Army FM 17-15 Tank Platoon, paying close attention to the elements of a deliberate defense, dug in BPs for veicles still seem to be an integral part of that mission. And the perfect world situation that is presented (the situation you strive for) is similar to the defensive planning in my Army, with 3 BPs dug for each vehicle. Digging in with mobile forces isn't completely static. Even as an infantryman in the Caucuses we dug primary and secondary positions when we set in an area we anticipated having to defend. Deliberate defenses are a lot of work and you never achieve the perfect world set up in my experience.
but I have similar experiences with German language phrases in Combat Mission.
Thanks for the scenario design AAR book with the BS download

Yes, when I first saw this thread title I assumed it was complaining about d/l speeds or something. But I do agree with theOP and have to say it will be useful for me.
