    Since Austria was/is neutral, she was expected to defend against both NATO and Warshaw pact.
    Excellent module material, in my humble opinion! 😉

    Don't miss out on the fabulous Austrian army!
    Hint: There is not much extra modeling work to be done! 🤣
    Iconic equipment includes:
    The Steyr AUG. The 18 t 'Kürassier' tank hunter. Unique stationary tank turrets and bunkers! Some links:
    Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Seems that I shall have to pay a visit to the Museum of Military History here in Vienna.

    Wish 1:  Some form of CM:BO-style shockwave visualization. When in doubt, make it optional!
    Wish 2:  Persistent map damage
    Wish 3:  Fulda Gap ... Oh, wait! Already preordered!

    The shockwaves conveyed the violence of the explosion so well!
    They must have the code lying around somewhere. Just throw it in and make it optional.
    Just one example I found. You really can feel the force. What I would do, though, is to not render the whole hemisphere, but only a ring in the horizontal plane which becomes more and more transparent with increasing height. This way, you get the impression of the shockwave racing outwards while not obscurating the debris in the middle.
     
    Ohhh, CMx1: How full of excellent design choices it was!

    If I was the designer, I would remove this feature immediately, since it obviously causes complications for zero gain.

    The upcoming 3D version of Close Combat ("The Bloody First") has excellent toggleable contour lines.
    It is going to be released tomorrow, by the way. I, for one, wish them good luck.
