  1. My money would be on convincing Zelenskyy to no longer martyr tens of thousands of his people and capitulate. Can NATO maintain a limited conventional war with Russia in it's current state and are they very confident it won't escalate to nuclear war?
  2. I recall in the age of Trump that Germany was touted as the new "leader of the free world". All the while Merkel was making Germany more reliant of Russian gas with her energy policies and going ahead with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline screwing over her European allies who benefited from the tariff revenue off existing pipelines. All to the benefit of Putin who had supposedly struck a dagger to the heart of American democracy. With friends like these.... Lets not get started on Merkel's predecessor Gerhard Schröder who counts Putin as a close personal friend.
  3. I'd expect them to find an alternative to engaging in a major urban firefight with the Russian military. If that means capitulating and facing the imposition of a foreign dictator so be it. Especially since that will be the likely result in the end anyway. It's easy to advocate martyring people, especially if it's from afar, but what are the realistic outcomes people expect from continuing to fight in this manner? What would be a, for the lack of a better word, 'satisfactory' outcome and the odds of actually achieving it vs potential consequences?
  4. Yes they do. They can choose not to engage in an urban war that will cost thousands of innocent lives. Crimea and Donbass are not coming back for the foreseeable future and thousands or perhaps tens of thousands more Ukrainian civilian deaths isn't going to change that. Bottom line is Russia is willing to fight for Ukraine and the west is not. Putin called the west's bluff and now it's time to cut losses and spare lives. Not prolong the conflict and the devastating consequences that will have for innocent Ukrainians and also vulnerable people across the globe from the economic fallout. Not to mention the ever increasing possibility of war between nuclear powers.
  5. Except it's only enough to keep them in the fight a little longer increasing the bloodshed.
  6. Yes because what the world needs is more nuclear armed states. Particularly deeply unstable ones wedged between competing nuclear armed world powers.
  7. Excellent. Looking forward to getting stuck in. Thank you
  8. Been known for about 18 months now.....
  9. Well the grifter earning a reported £110 000 a year as a "director of diversity and inclusion" in the MOD has to do something with their time. Problem is when he/she has to come up with more boxes to tick. It's one thing finding voice actors, it's quite another when you have to bring in a third partner into the business to meet diversity quotas so as to qualify for future contracts. Literally happened to a company I worked for. Lo and behold a humble company driver suddenly found himself a partner in the business......
  10. Who knew race was so monolithic. Apparently all white people belong to the same hivemind.
  11. Unfortunately I'm getting a "The folder ‘/Ghost Rider CM Missions’ doesn’t exist." error from the link.
  12. Of course reinforcements /facepalm. The creators of the campaigns wouldn't appreciate me making my revised edits of their work available without permission on the forum. Suppose I could PM you directly though. Seems I've come a cropper with my next attempt "In Search of a Ghost". The Core unit is a 'Stryker Infantry MOUT battalion' but unfortunately a newly created "Stryker Infantry MOUT" Core unit file won't sync with the scenarios instead replacing the scenario units with the entire battalion from the core file. I suspect it's because the battalion from the campaign is a different TOE to the one in the editor now. For example the battalion in the campaign has no Headquarters Company but the current battalion in the editor does. There are other differences with mortars etc The solution being to replace the units in each scenario as well and keeping it as close to the original as possible.
