Regarding Javelins....You've got an Officer firing it.
He has no actual skill level. I suggest you move him forward an give him some elevation as well. As you can see...Things aren't going well for blue at the start (Red has it's own set of difficulties) but with a bit of luck you can meet all objectives and parameters. As leader you need to consider your long range weaponry (.50 Cal). Also keep in mind that The enemy stronghold so near to you may not be what Intell told you...You may well need look elsewhere. But you've got to get these guys who have been shooting up supply columns and just shot the hell out of those engineers (who owe you money from last nites poker game). A total Victory can be achieved. PS...don't forget the crewman... -
Got it...Thanks..... verified and reported

Nothin' says lovin' as a campaign from Misga's oven...Going over to www.CMMODS now!

Please send a save file with short location discription...I will try to duplicate

This sounds right to meOriginally posted by YankeeDog:Some of you guys are missing the point.
The question is not whether or not Humvees have gunner's coffins *now*, in the COIN operations in Iraq, but whether they'd still have the gunner's coffins installed for a high-tempo offensive operation against a foreign military, such as Syria.
As Steve has noted, while the gunner's coffins do provide much more protection for the roof gunner, they dramatically reduce the range, reliablity and stability of the vehicle. For a low-intensity, protracted COIN op, where the US needs every piece of light armor it can get, that's a reasonable trade-off.
But in an armored thrust across the desert, the Humvee's role would presumably revert to what it was originally intended for -- transport, primarily, with a bit of light recon thrown in. Since the gunner's coffins dramatically reduce the Humvees ability to (a) carry stuff, (
drive long distances without refuling or repair, and © handle rough terrain without tipping over, you can argue they would be counterproductive for such a role.You didn't see any Humvees spearheading the thunder runs into Baghdad, after all.
So it's a reasonable conjecture that stuff like the Gunner's coffins, Abrams TUSK kits, etc. might be removed for an operation like an invasion of Syria.
If they were removed, they'd probably come back pretty quickly once the "hot" war was over, and the US found itself in another protracted "Nation Building" exercise.
Personally, I'd love to see them in the game. Regardless of what CMSF was built for, it simulates many types of COIN ops fairly well. So it would be fun to have more of the kit to do COIN ops. But it's understandable that this is a secondary priority for BFC, for now.
Cheers,

In Case you missed this

The Syrian Vehicles do not use RPG's, nor most of the ammo they store. So grab them if you think:
1. I may need more ammo and my troops won't be running a marathon to reach their objectives
2. You have AT teams and you're likely to run across armor or bunkers.

I play Wego for larger or if I'm very involved with the action (most often the case). I play RT for games that I'm just relaxing with or are small units sized. I always test both ways when designing. By far I enjoy PBEM games (CMx1 was my introduction to PBEM's)...Human players are: Fun, Inventive, crafty, terrible and great...usually all at once!

US vs Syrian Meet Engagement
A tiny US force attempts to Neutralize Syrian Harrasment of the Turkish supply route. Map size 1680 x 1312. Play as Blue or H2H Only. Red AI has 5 plan...(NO BLUE AI Plan)
You can get it @ www.CMMODS.com

Happy May Day, Comrade! We will be attending May day celebrations at the Bada Bing Room. I understand they have continuous May pole dances...Look forward to sharing this historic day with you and our fellow comrades, Trixie Tasty-Licks, and Tiger Lilly.... Power to the proletariat! Freedom for the Workers...All Hail Marx and Lennon!

Many Thanks for this... I really needed it...Going for Tall

Where can I get the "Kower Power" Lapel Pins?

Consider, too, that the AI multiple plans for defense or attack can make even the scen designer look like a chump in very short order. My understanding is BFC views the editor and the AI component to be evolutionary at this point.

Amazing?...Hardley. I'm simply reminding them of a very much back burner issue.
-
This Really needs to be addressed. I can think of no reason to use this small Font size. As a Scen Designer I'd like the player to read the story line for two REAL reasons:
1. Immersion
2. Specific scen guide
A good storyline should increase the players enjoyment and provide direction on finding a wining strategy...If Player's don't read them because they don't care...OK. But to not read them due to font size and eye trouble (like I have) is to miss the reasons for the battle. I'll bet the majority of designers spend a lot of time working these briefings up. So how about it BFC...toss a bone to the sight impaired!

Crazy being reducing Attacker Tiny force mix?Originally posted by GunzAbeam:With more testing it seems that if you get crazy with the force mix combined with a tiny battle size ..there is something the game doesn't like.
I would say it's not worth chasing after. No biggie ..case closed.

JohnO and Mark ...thanks for your interest.

I have not been able to duplicate the problem. If somebody could post their CTD comments box it would be of real help.
Are you getting this in RT? WEGO?, happens with Both? Does it happen generally or with a specific map (Medium size, Village?)

I want to be able to play on a huge map and have the capiblitiy to only have a handful of troops. As it stands now, if I select a huge map, I get a ton of units.Originally posted by jonp:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by BigDork:
Unless I'm terribly mistaken you can pick the size of the battle. While there is no points anymore you can choose from tiny, small, medium, large, huge or something along those lines. It's a drop down menu when you are creating a QB. I believe in the upper left side though I could be wrong.
Thx
