If there's an Iron Man for realtime, I'd want a paper map, some acetate and grease pencils to come with the game.

The Finns would take reindeer with them to Syria? Hardcore, man...

As an aside, I'm heading up a mod team for Armed Assault that takes place in Germany in '85. http://g85.combataddons.net/ Not quite CM, but hopefully will be just as nifty when its done.

I'd love to see it, but I understand why BFC said no already.

I hope thats a yes. So maybe we'll see the CV90120 too?

I hope at least one or two CV90s make it into the European module.

I remember once upon a time there was a Vietnam mod for CC3 that I liked very much. Anyway, Matrix says this new version will be a remake of CC3 with a lot of the flaws of the original fixed (i.e. girly infantry, ubertanks, force composition, etc). I'm looking forward to it. CC2 was one of my all time favorites and CC3 wasn't too bad either.

I hope to God that multi-multi player makes it into CMSF at least as a module/upgrade.

It's not an FPS.

Sucks that they're getting rid of the 172nd.

Awwwwwwwww yeah.

1st Raider Battalion would have sounded cooler.

Might be kinda simplistic... http://science.howstuffworks.com/stryker.htm

So... any screenshots of the T-72 yet?

Will the readiness penalty apply to individual units based on what vehicle they were transported in? I.e. all other things being equal, will one Syrian squad suffer the same penalty getting out of a Ural truck as it would a BMP? Also, what about Syrian ADA? Most Sovbloc AAA (ZU-23, ZPU, ZSU-23-4, ZSU-57-2) have records of being used very extensively in ground combat roles. If they aren't in the initial release, might they make it into a module?

. Brave kid. Rest in peace.

Yeah, the ODS Brads carry 7 dismounts each. I think the extra seat in the platoon is used for the medic?

What would entail "fully simulating" mech infantry? Aside from the Bradley and lack of a weapons squad, theres not a whole lotta difference at the platoon level. Still have three 9-man dismount squads.

Probably because they're still in early beta/late alpha? Remember, in those screenshots it doesn't say anything about a battery with two guns. It just has the firing units broken down into two guns. I imagine you could get away with saying the other four guns in the battery are either mobile or rearming from the FAASVs or HEMMTs.

I think two guns has been kind of standard in Iraq lately. I remember reading an AAR from Fallujah that mentioned that one of the batteries in direct support had only two guns up, and they only fired one gun for most missions (as the missions were usually against single structures or emplacements and didn't require anything more). Note, that this doesn't mean 2 guns per battery is normal, but thats what they're doing in Iraq right now. During OIF's initial phase I remember seeing 6-gun batteries from the Army and Marines.

Out of curiosity, what kinds of humvees are going to be portrayed? Just gun trucks with some combination of M240/M2/Mk19? Maybe armored and unarmored? What about TOW carriers, cargo carriers, SF variants, etc? Also, will non-Stryker/Bradley infantry squads make it in (i.e. light infantry)?

Do you know what kinds of rounds you're planning to have for the 155s? What about HIMARS/MLRS?

Great job, Dan. How many polys are those Abrams?

We can only hope...
