You get all the zombies because I don't get the game yet BTW, I saw an Ash from housewares in some threads Ariel

He certainly had a lot of respect for the Argentinian forces who he encountered. cheers _dumbo<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, dumbo, having in mind that the British faced a Conscript poorly trained army, the Argentinian Army today is much better. During the Malvinas (sorry, I forgot the another name for the islands ) the doctrine was the National Security doctrine. The officers and NCOs were poorly capacited and trained. Today, the Army is small, but full professional, with a very good doctrine and not more focused in internal affairs. If our conscript, poorly indoctrined army do fairly well in 1982, I bet the actual Army could be very effective. I hope we never have to prove it. Ariel

Captain, I have some ideas about it, mostly based in the actual CM Meta Campaign in development. If you like to see if my ideas worth something, mail me to arielglb@fibertel.com.ar Thanks. Ariel

Someone with more knowledge of South American militaries can jump in here if they wish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's tough to say because all of these countries' militaries are devoted to internal security. In the past, however, the Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil all had hostile relations with each other. You have to say that Argentina and Brazil have the resources to be the greatest threats. Certainly, Argentina gained valuable lessons when it tangled with the British. Argentina could have done better with what they had. Colombia right now has major backing from the U.S. for the so-called war on drugs. This includes training for elite forces. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Some contries analyzed: Brazil: big numbers both in manpower and weapons. Now in process of "modernization" (for SA standards ) with Leopard 1, and new planes and helicopters. And the Foch also. Conscript army. Good industrial base for developing weapons (MRLs, light aircrafts, AFVs). The big drawback is the conscript army. Chile: Good weapons. Conscript army. Resolution to fight. Modernizing with Leopard 1 and Gripen airplanes. Moderate weapons industry. Argentina (my country): Mostly outdated weapons, but some modernized, and all very adequates for their use, both material and doctrinal. Maybe the best doctrine at now in the SA area. Professional army. The armed forces are not more compromised with internal affairs (at least I hope that ). Great experience with UN peacekeeping missions. Is very short in manpower in arms and some of the weapons are obsolets, but when you sees one of those "obsolets" Mirage making a low level passage BEHIND your position at the shore of a river, you knows that the man in it knows what he is doing. All the forces are mechanized, some with the very good TAM (Argentinian Medium Tank) and the AFV family (derived from German's Marder). Very good and tough SFs. Ecuador and Peru: Both have great Armed Forces for their size as countries. Both were engaged in wars with each other. Maybe the only subsisting interregional conflict at the time. Ecuador have a little advantage in quality, as Peru doctrines were focused in internal wars for a great amount of time. If I must choose for quality, my bet is for Argentina, maybe Chile or even Colombia. But overall, Brazil is the military power in the area. Ariel

Chris, such way of gaming CM is currently on the way and is called CM Meta Campaign. Check CMHQ or Annex for more data. Ariel

Please, stop it, chrisl!!!! Arrggghhh...!!! Another night without sleep!!!! Ariel in the nightmare of waiting CM.

The prisoners have more value alive than dead in CM. The best is to exit them from battlefield. And guard them all the path, just in case. If they are released, becomes unarmed. Ariel

I answer you in your other thread Try the CM Meta Campaign!!! Ariel

Torni, we were trying to do this in the Combat Mission Meta Campaign. If you are interested, take a look at http://combathq.thegamers.net/ or http://cmhq.tzo.com/ Here you could find some info about this project and how to sign in. Ariel [This message has been edited by argie (edited 07-16-2000).]

jackhammer, I really hopes nobody never judges USA for people like you. Or maybe I must said, for people like you USA is judged the way it is. Ariel, from a country in Third World in which the only good thing USA does is MacDonald [This message has been edited by argie (edited 07-11-2000).]

Pillar, if you get so close to enemy and you are alone, is better for your health not to fire at all Try positioning the snipers in a spot in which they could fire without being spotted. Close enough but in the 2 to 3 digits range at least Ariel

I played V4V a few times... Is a great game... Feels accurate Ariel [This message has been edited by argie (edited 07-08-2000).]

Turret, I'm fully compromised with the CM Meta campaign that Bullethead mentioned early, but I have some ideas about a game like yours. Please contact me at arielglb@fibertel.com.ar to see if some of my ideas worth something Ariel

I have both: Mac and PC, and the Mac rocks. The OS is the Windows Bill dream about. Is fast. ( At least my G4) You don't worry about viruses. All the things (soft and hard) are compatible in between machines. You get the best graphics and multimedia software, and all the other software stuff is available too. Not much games... But we have CM... Ariel

We must re-enter the former games? Ariel

The lack of air support was a mix between bad weather, poor supply and fear of friendly fire in the chaotic battle... Very few airports were operatives in France and Netherlands at the time, and most of the air operations comes directly from England... M-G was done because was the only spot in range for airplanes from England in the front. Ariel

Use more than one squad. Move fast from different directions. make the tank buttoned first. Ariel

Also, the 30 after Panzerfaust, means the range of the weapon. Panzerfaust 30= 30mts. " 60= 60mts. " 100=100mts. At 50 mts your Panzerfaust 30 were out of range. Ariel [This message has been edited by argie (edited 06-25-2000).]

That thing already exists. Is the CM Meta Campaign (CMMC). Take a look at CMHQ. Ariel [This message has been edited by argie (edited 06-25-2000).]

Rich, extremist Jews even kills Jews if they think they are doing something to reach the peace with the Palestines!!! Many of my friends who visited Israel, come here horrorized by the way some Jews treat the Palestinian. And they are Jews too! The violence is manifested in many ways, not only killing people with bombs... Starving people is violence too... Ariel [This message has been edited by argie (edited 06-25-2000).]
