Paper Tiger, if you want, I have the FM 90-4 Air Assault Operations and it will tell you how, where, and with what to move a rifle company, I can send it to you by private email. It will answer most if not all of your questions. If your scenario is dealling with the 101st AASLT, then it will be from Combat Aviation Brigade (Medium), Assalt Battalion, which has 10xUH-60s in a company and the CH-47s will be coming from the General Support Aviation Battalion which has 10xCH-47s in a company. Paper Tiger if you have more questions feel free to email me.

If I may throw my two cents in this topic, it ia what they call The Rhino, which protrudes like a giant horn, is an electrical device mounted on the front of the vehicle and is designed to detonate roadside bombs along a route before the convoy reaches them.

I posted a link to this post at the Skunkworks so that Steve will see this and reply when he has the chance. He's been pretty busy with, you know what. Alex, those are some good ideas.

No, it's still not releasable to the public.

No, have to wait until I get back from Ft Campbell.

Wouldn't that be in the briefing/operation order and not display on FBCB2? I haven't seen the decision graphics be displayed like that, now I could be wrong

Good question Mark, that can be changed to two vertical lines instead of three which is for heavy tank. I'm working on some of the other icons and will post soon with an update, but it will have to be when I get back from Ft. Campbell, KY. Getting ready to do some training there again. Keep posting up any more problems or issues.

I'm assuming that your using 2525 standard Would like to see what your command elements look like with the rectangles shape. As for the HMMWVs showing infantry icon that it is loaded with infantry. When you dismount them the icon for the HMMWV will change to the vehicle symbol.

Good point about the infantry and engineer squads. Working with Steve and seeing about getting some changes to the floating icons. Any more ideas on what should be added or change to the floating icons. Not going to promise anything but it could be a start. Also haven't posted the change the c3k mention, waiting on a new icon that I'm trying to build on the unknown contact icon.

Thanks akd dam good video. Where can I download them to keep. JohnO

Update, got it fix Ken thanks, if anything else wrong don't haste to say it. Will post tonight after work with the update changes.

Fixing it right now, will upload v1.1 tonight with the changes to the British APCs.

Thanks Ken, will take a look at it.

Smoke mod is from ProEffects, as for the smoke plumes blowing in different directions, no their not. I replayed the save game file and they are all going in the same direction. The wind is coming from the west and it may be due to the distance between the other burning vehicles giving the impression that the smoke plume is going in three different directions. Oh and I have all of Syrope mods, well except for the smoke mod

Feldgrau it is then, thanks.

No problem can leave it as is.

I just saw the posting from Mark about that he wish that it was a rectangle for the blue forces instead of circles. Well I just did an experiment and guess what, yes you can change the blue circles to rectangles I will be making some changes that will take me about a week to do it but should have it done by then. Will post a screenshot tomorrow showing some of them.

Thought I would keep this going. Don't you hate this when this happens If you look at the background you can see two more smoke plumes rising to the sky seems my tactics didn't work so well

Thanks will make the Dutch icons "Orange" when the NATO mod gets release. Should of remember that during the liberation of the Dutch when watching "Band of Brothers" video

Just to let everyone know, I just posted the modified NATO floating icons to the Repository. Should be up in about an hour.

I don't have the gamey symbols, didn't need them so deleted them, sorry. Sure why not

Here is an update on the British and US Floating icons. After Apocal brought it to my attention on the color for the British, I made a mistake on the color code so I fixed it. See new screenshot. Will post tonight at the Repository the modified floating icons.

I stand corrected, my bad Apocal. Tan is 210-180-30 which is what I set it for when making the British icon but after looking again I miss it by that much to get the correct color. It is fixed now. However may change to Dark Khaki color which is 189-183-107

Right now it is one color suits all for the US. Trying to get them to change that, but so far no luck

Besides Stingray, no one else has a comment about or questions about what I did to make it easier to see which side the US and British are on the map instead of just having a blue floating icon? Stingray I will be posting the modified floating icons by this weekend. Oh and angreyson give me permission by sending to me the psd files to make the changes to it. Due to his work schedule in the US Army he doesn't have the time to make any changes or add any new icons. So I will take the ball and run with it for him.
