A squad in a vehicule is able to "ACQUIRE" some stuff, here Javelin launcher. But, is it possible for this squad to "UN-ACQUIRE" stuff? For example, I would like the squad to drop its Javelin launcher plus missiles since all the AFVs in the area are now destroyed. Is it possible? Thanks

Yeah, you are a rocketman after all

Hasty AAR: Rahadnak Valley Search (USMC)
ncc1701e replied to L0ckAndL0ad's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Agree this one is a masterpiece. Hopefully, we will have it back with a real bridge in SF2. Looking forward for the end of this great AAR -
To check every day if SF2 is out. Looks like my Christmas gift is in advance this year. At my age, it should not happen. I am like a kid waiting

Source for current Libyan civil war
ncc1701e replied to ncc1701e's topic in CMSF Scenario and Mod Design Forum
Thanks guys, it helps -
Hi all, Could you please recommend some sources / books regarding the libyan civil war (2011 / 2018)? I am looking for the military operations with some more details, if possible, that what I could find on wikipedia or the few things I have currently found. Thanks in advance

I am quite happy that there is no automated response like launching smoke and falling back as soon as LWR detects something. I am still surprised there is no laser warning message thanks to the new engine. None of the CMSF vehicles are LWR-equipped even the Abrams or the Bradley in 2007 ?
-
-
Yes one question: Does the vehicles receive laser warning when targeted like in Black Sea ? Thanks
-
Yes you are right. What the same in CMSF and just noticing this now ... My bad Ouch ... Great AAR. All your pictures are without any mods, correct?
-
Is there a particular reason why technicals (or this model perhaps) don't have access to "Target Light"? I do not see the button in this screenshot.

I must admit I am totally confused about this $1 purchase. Where I could find it on your site? I have the Paradox version of the game plus the three modules. And, following this link: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage_bfc&product_id=227&category_id=9&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26 I read that: Do you own at least one CMSF module, such as the Marines or British Forces module? If yes, then you do not need this upgrade! Please download the FREE 1.21 patch from www.battlefront.com/patches. If no, then the v1.21 special upgrade may apply to you. Please read point 3 below. Do you plan to purchase a module? If yes, then you do not need this upgrade! If you purchase a Module, your base game will automatically be "converted". Modules work with retail versions as is. There is no need to purchase this upgrade. Simply go to www.battlefront.com/store to buy a module. So, I assume that I do not need the $1 purchase that convert my Paradox license over to your system. Am i right? Thanks

What will the next CM be?
ncc1701e replied to dmagnusson's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Really hope so. I think a French army module for CMSF2 will bring lots of possibility in terms of story telling. -

Update on Engine 4 patches
ncc1701e replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Thanks for your answer Steve. This will be a great end of year. -
With the incoming CMSF2 release, is it possible to know if CMSF2 will have its own briefing template such as CMBN or CMBS? The question I have is do I care to do briefings now or shall I wait for the official release? Thanks
-
Well perhaps also in Afghanistan: https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/wwii-gear-in-afghan-use-part-iii-tanks-and-artillery/

Update on Engine 4 patches
ncc1701e replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I had the idea last year but never post it here since I found it was crazy. It is still crazy today but since you are talking about possible changes in the future. Well, here it is. You have an engine. You have families. You have modules / battle packs. Why not suppress the family level? I am thinking of something like DCS world, call it Combat Mission world. Each family installs in Combat Mission world just like a module. Of course, raise the price of family/module according to the effort needed to develop it. That way, you have one engine / one patch? Well I have no idea, I am guessing. The other advantage is that one can play the army he wants if he has bought the family/module of course. That could led to interesting things like if someone own CMSF2 and CMBS, we could have the latest M1 (CMBS) against T55 (CMSF). Or some idiot uchrony like a T90 (CMSF) against a platoon of Tiger (CMBN). No interest here but at least I'll give it a try just once. Crazy? Indeed! Thanks for the update Steve ! -
The state of CMSF2
ncc1701e replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Seriously? I remember my post last year complaining about my M2/M3 Bradley getting immobilized in a scenario where red air force was annoying. Can't wait to replay this scenario with CMSF2. On a side note, hope the uncons won't access to air defense. It will complicated again my gameplay. That is what I like in this "game" (if we can call it a game - this is more than this), I need to activate my brain and plan carefully. -
You are right. I have just found this myself. They have done a compilation of the maps of the campaign series in one book for Western front. The equivalent book is existing for Eastern front: https://ospreypublishing.com/atlas-of-the-eastern-front-hb The scale is just too high for design. At least, it can give a little background for briefings. But, I agree, online sources will be definitely better. Cheers

Just seen this incoming book from Osprey Publishing: https://ospreypublishing.com/store/military-history/upcoming-books/preorder-2-months/atlas-of-the-european-campaign In June 1944 the Allies opened the long-awaited second front against Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, and this was to be the start of a long struggle throughout Western Europe for the Allied forces in the face of stiff German resistance. The European Theatre was where the bulk of the Allied forces were committed in the struggle against Nazi Germany. It saw some of the most famous battles and operations of the war - Normandy, Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge - as the Allies sought to liberate Western Europe in the face of bitter and hard-fought German resistance. From the beaches of D-Day through to the final battles in war-ravaged Germany, the war across the breadth and depth of Western Europe is brought to life through scores of carefully researched and intricately detailed maps. If it may help people for map design. Cheers

New features curiosity
ncc1701e replied to silent_crescendo's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Ability to split a squad inside a vehicle or something like that. If I have a squad inside a Bradley, I would like to be able to disembark a scout team of two men without exposing the entire squad to small arms firing.
