SHINING BRASS then PRAIRIE FIRE as I explain were deep LRRP penetrations
BRIGHT LIGHT was emergency rescue units for these teams - often to no avail and nothing there except blood trails. Some of the most harrowing stories from the war come from these missions. Anyone have a good repisitory of history, anecdotes, etc

whoa, that's super cool!
It is thanks. Idk if I can find the pics. Tbis wasnt a novelty it was REALLY well hidden and I only found it because I was literally working in the empty apartment and had the run of the empty place. Ive never seen the stereotype staircase behind a bookcase(it swung didnt slide)
I knoe the street adress my next option is googling the adress amd seeing if anyone else ever got a pic
(If you know boston its paralell to mass ave by berklee college of music, 1 block to the side of mass ave on the fenway park side, the first old buildings by the parking garage)

Its daunting at first but this is the thing
The free planes the game comes with are great introdcutory planes
almost all have the same great flight model
but the flaming cliffs games dont have wevery button clickable. this makes them simpler though many are still quite complex. if you take the plunge I recommend buying either the full flaming cliffs getting 6 or 7 planes ( su25a, a10a, f15c, su27, su33, mig 29 variants, jf11) or you can buy them 5 to 10 apiece. they can be complex but learning to fly them is rdiciously easy. a button starts electtronics and 2 diff buttons startengines. the rest is practice.
the more advanced planes are still very rewarding tolearn, they can be daunting but its weoth it, those are the ones u literally can mess with every buton like the mig 21. even then earlier planes are still simple - the p51 full realism is still very easy to fly. the F5 is still fairly easy to fly, amd you cam 'cheat' and have the game auto start your plane.
the Sabres easy to fly and a joy. The huey too forget the manual you just need to learn how to fly it and hover it. itll seem ridiclously harrd then 2 weeks later u dont give it thought. i dont even use rudder pedals.
yes some planes are harder to learn. the gaxelle I never mastered .i regret gettign the ka50
the A6, F4, and Mi24 are consider commiting crimes releases for me
The f14 is already dangerously close or already is to me
my god. rio cockpit. rio modelled all of it. just look at the vids. is just. amazing.

Look first - Im not plugging another game. Seriously everyone here knows about dcs, some like it some dont. not same category as CM, and many who work for BFC are heavily involved in DCS. Just a disclaimer - I feel this is harmless.
Ive been VERY impressed with DCS continual staying but customers, upgrades, and their new modules are jaw dropping. Financially I cant keep up and its a shame; especially now that the F14 (!!!) module is coming out. if you youtube DCS f14 module.. if you lived in the 80s you'll understand.
Plus I was never interested in a Mig19P. But I watch the videos and I want it. Who else has ever made a Mig19 anyways?!
plus interet works now! but yea f14 is pimp my sister ( dont have one status) as will F4, A6 and Mi24 when they come out.
any fans I dont know of?

I was working inside a house near mass ave and boylston st in Boston a year ago and found a secret stairway behind a book case and tiny room. The owners had no clue.
All I can think of is bootlegging during the Prohibition or underground railroad (the building is that old)
I gotta see if I can find the pictures on an old phone. Id never actually encountered anything like it.

Ill get the QB map name from my oppo
QB map red setup
Its a long setupzone not deep, with a steep ditch before your zone ends. putting Syrian tanks there I noted if I placed them just right ( looking for hull down) I could make the tank suddenly appear to be standing on end, i.e. resting on its rear gun pointed forward. As tempted as I was to try this innovative Syrian defensive move I quietly moved my tanks into more traditional positions. (for them to explode to javelins with no contacts whatsoever. Ah yes. Syrian armored night attacks vs the US LOL)

Guys - I know this is borderline. Im not advertising. Im banned from their msg boards. long story. I just wanna say though that.. anyone here play? I need avice on how to make SRS work ghetto ( i.e. earbuds with mic) and would like to fly. vet 03369 played but I havent spoken to him
-
Of course. I dont even own it but I literally stood there almost gaping for 2 hours before my feet hurting made me realize... Id been in the store standing still for 2 hours looking at these gigantic hand drawn fold out illustrations (panoramic) of combat on the Somme day. Full detail and gore. It literally is so beautifully drawn it made me excited like a child when I used to see really cool battle pictures or drawings. These are painstakingly drawn based on photos, maps, and AARs. My god.. It killed me to walk out of that store without that book.
-
Some of the best hand drawings and stuff Ive ever seen. A real treasure.

I do what I was taught. Don't enter any building or room through a door or window. The method in Vietnam was a Centurion blast a hole with HE followed by 'canister' only then you enter a building. I try to copy this in CM but it takes sometimes all the HE of a tank it doesn't breach a wall with one shot. If you have engineers problem solved. Look making an assault team from your squad the other team has LMG to precede the attack with area fire. The trick is to break the morale of the troops inside and make sure your assault team is fit.. Once they have nervous or shattered they are more or less useless.
I find the autocannon on warriors or USMC 40mms work well to demolish those high concrete walls that surround some compounds etc.
For mouseholing demo charges works better.. Ill lay down. Target light as the game gives friendly infantry a pass on small arms.
Not sure if you know this trick but asigning the blast command PARALELL to what you want to blast through will make the team blast the wall but not rush in. Or rush through.
-
@AlanSA ill rexownload the demo.
Everyone has to start somewhere my friend. Also if you want we can play but openly discuss whats happening almost like a ongoing AAR - so we.ll fight but itll be almost like training. Or we can fight ans go over what happened after. Or just fight.
Also itll help you if we give you NATO most battles except say Alamo. Unfortunatwly for you Im NOT blind for Alamo or Breaking the Bank
ill still play them though. Msg me or let me know?
trust me human players are a million times more fun than ai. Its so much more rewarding to kill a humans tanks and stuff. Youll never go back

*****SPOILERS******
This one was relaly tough and I took way heavier casualties than necessary. I advise agaisnt a broad front advance. Pick a line of advance. Concentrate your men. But dont expose them all to fire. Be very csreful with buildings and your warriors and tanks. Use your engineer teams to blow holes in building walls so youre not at the mercy of doorways.
MAKE SURE you look at move points that end in buildings from the enemys line to yours. Mame sure there isnt some balcony!!
You have a lot of time. Be very sloe and methodical. Wait. Move glacually slow. Give units minutes to spot. Call in arty and wait till it kos a target before moving. Youll get a helo later - in my gane my men were spent. And it didnt even really have enemy tsnks to target. My tanks got them but they also killed a couple challys. Wait. The helo can do thst job. Use your arty. Let your snipers do their thing just place them well.
Your javelin team is very important. Use an armor only arc and keep them a block behind your main body of troops. See the javelin team is your emergency tank response. Its an almost guaranteed armor kill. You want it where yout challengers arent in case Red gets frisky you can respond and probably defeat an armor attack with just the team. Just be mindful dont use them to simply pick off enemy armor you can see - theres bettet ways of doing it. I did exactly thst. I saw a keyholed T72 then another IFV so I jav.d them. I believe red gets armor reinforcements because my left flank as the Brits came under attack mid game and my javelin team could have stopled rhem cold. Unfortunstely they were out of rounds and a few warriors died before the threat was handled.
This was my first battle after a year or more away so I was rusty but its a bit tough for sure

Pm me? Prtty plz?
-
I apologize for what its worth.
Thank you, and no I have no ill will towards you either. Yes it was stupid to post. In real life my mouth gets me in trouble a lot too. Im just blunt and honest. Anyways I apologize.
-
it was foolish to post. that said I think mauser was joking.
however howler since Im feeling like Im being judged - so youre saying YOUVE NEVER used another persons netflix or wifi, and NEVER downloaded any songs or movies then?
If you truly havent than youre right I guess Im a dirtball. If not, then I daresay youre being a hypocrite.
-
Well true but TBF BFC has proof I alwats bought their stuff and I only did it with ganes that are 15+ years old. As a matter of principle (dor exaple paradox games) I bought them when I realized what treasures they were.
Thanks for the advice but its up anyway
-
Hope youre well. I needa find a vpn. Thank god my comps wrking again. Unforunately i can only play everyone in SF2. I cant afford upgrading all my othee titles when Im desoeratelt trying to figure out jow to get the DCS F14 out soon and the new BFC modules have me salivating too
-
I dont know what happened. i havent even been around. I just posted and kind of was shocked at the reaction I got. I accept responsibility for what I posted and as I said before I scrolled further up and read @Rinaldi'rin's response my apology was genuine and I felt a fool assuming it was me.
I just want pbem opponents. If steve has to ban me i hope he lets me make a last post begging for oppos for sf2
@sid_burn youre right and thankyou. I was mad, and typing on a cellphone, standing up on a crowded mass transit bus navigating the snow in East Boston. No one made me post there - just explaining the worse than usual quality.
-
I simply cannot get a working multiplayer connection. The game runs fantastic on my rig otheriwse. Imm banned from there forums (its nonsense for what I got banned for but whatever)

lmao, I'll pray for you homie
I dont need your prayers "dawg" but thanks anyways
If youre gonna waste your time praying pray for America to survive the Trump presidency. As i told someone else I actually was about to apologize to u then I saw ur answer and reakized that no u were talking about me. Whixh is odd we.ce always been cordial. But whateber. Dont pray for me because Im definitely not the bigger man and if I send any thoughts your way they wouldnt be prayers for yourbwell being

Oh well of it wasnt directed at me then I apologize

Tomahawk can't jettison its cruise section and make it's final attack at supersonic speeds.
True. Then again tomahawk is much more reliable than Kalibr which a lot of the missiles seemed to jave failed and landed in Iran.
Anx Tomahawks we just have soooo many more. We could just swarm a target and theyd get through. Also we've been successfully using them for 30 years. I dont think Russia eve rcombat used a cruise missile until the 2016 Syria incident. Correct me if Im wrong of course.
thx buddy
Need internet info (free pls?) On Prairie Fire Ops and Bright Light Ops
in General Discussion Forum
Posted
a report on a prairie fire team MIA for decaSdes that got found sparked my interested. I remember SFC Schue, and 2 others were killed. a local remembed the NVA yelled capture the americans - schue had a deifnite bullet wound below his ribs, the other US were heavily wounded by grenade fragments. BRIGHT LIGHT couldnt get there until the next day due to weather. They only found some web belt that was it. around 2011 they found the 3 americans in shallow graves nearby.
RIP
but that and Pete Wennmans avatar is a USN F4 pilot named J Chesshire. Hes got fantastic anecdotes - and of course my dad was a F4D WSO and his squadron CO was Roger Locher which was the furthest north we retrieved any downed US aircrew IIRC and I DO know for USAF Locher holds the record for being in the wild - he was out there like 22 days before rescue.
Also I remembered (der) shining brass was prarie fires predessecor ( im surprised I didnt misspell that one? Thats the one I thought I misspelled)
