    Trica got a reaction from MOS:96B2P in New campaign content?   
    MOS:96B2P scenarios you linked look sick. I will definitely check them out.

    Totally agree.  Campaigns are where the CM2 system shines - when one has the challenge of conserving men and ammo.  The player can't play as if "there is no tomorrow".
    There are many great user-made CMSF campaigns (and scenarios) that were made for CMSF1 - but they seem to work fine in CMSF2.  I copied all my CMSF1 campaigns to CMSF2 when I deleted CMSF1.  IIRC I have over 50 or 60 campaigns.  The Blue vs Red campaigns are mostly good - altho I can't recall any stand-outs.  For Red vs Red, the two that I remember very well are "The Road to Dinas" - a long and hard campaign by Paper Tiger, and "Zawiya Uprising" - one of the most enjoyable campaign I can remember from any of the CM2 titles.  Good mix of units and no tricks in the missions.  Good old-fashioned tactical expertise is rewarded.

    TBH, victory conditins should cover that.....Maybe try one of @MOS:96B2P's single mission scenaros for either CM:BS (Tactical Operations Centre) or CM:SF2 (Coup D'etat), they're a bit different.

    Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip! Can that mission cover larger area than the one with single aircraft?

    I have not played this so I cannot offer an answer to your question. What I can say is if your one air controller wants to call multiple air assets at once they can. <shift>click on the second and subsequent air craft that you want to add to the mission.

    I'm on 5th mission of russian campaign (Crossing the Dniepr), and the US tank from screenshot below basically halted my entire force. It was well hidden between two houses with a perfect view down the road I had to advance. I suspected that crossroad was well guarded, so I first shelled that area with 155mm heavily. I don't know if I hit it then, but that whole area took a lot of damage. After that, I sent a t-90 down the road and it got hit immediately and burst into flames. After that, I used infantry squads to spot it from the flank because I knew the approximate location. 
    After pinpointing the exact location, I was able to call in artillery (point target) with my forward observers in church tower (they couldn't see the tank, but i was able to place a target on it). The US tank took several direct 155mm and 203mm hits (visible on screenshots) and all buildings around it were destroyed. I also used all my heavy helicopter ordnance on this guy (none of the guided missles were able to hit it, they all hit the ground or trees 30m away from the tank?!). He still managed to survive somehow.
    At this point, I was basically out of heavy air and artillery rounds, so I sent two t-90s in hope they would spot him first, but it turned to catastrophe with both my tanks destroyed without even firing. 
    How can this thing survive multiple 203mm rounds? Also, why did all my helicopter guided missles miss (even after artillery destroyed surrounding vegetation and buildings)? Also, briefing mentions precision artillery strikes, but all I have is point/area/linear with general/personell options. Are there guided artillery rounds in this game? Any tips on this situation?
