  1. why u guys rlly want an AAR? Ill do one with screenies ic theres enuff intwrest?
  2. expect PMs in a few hrs guys. i DONT HAVE SPECIAL UPGRADE V4 FYI
  3. sure. pzsaurkrautwerfer had some good anecdotes from his time in country and also relating a cav scouts experiences in GW1. Im also interested in the sarin ied incident. did it really happen, why didmt the dubya regime jump all over it as some sort of proof about WMDs (lol) and if one shell was used... why not more? what there was one chemical shell in all of Iraq left? I would say if the rest were captured it could be classified but that would have been at least half assed justification for the invasion. if not and if Iraq gave theirs away to Syria and or Iran like I think where the f!$# did that one shell come from?
  4. Im not as worried about a nuclear confrontation between Russia and the US as I am with N Korea. It truly seems to me ineviteable there will be a war in the Korean peninsula, today, tomorrow, and IMO opinion at least certainly within the next 15 years. The DPRK really has nothing to lose and I fear that even if it doesnt aggressively act an eventual coup or revolution or imminent collapse of the state will lead the Kim regime to having a use it or lose it strategy vis a vis invading S Korea or things just getting exceptionally messy. What really also troubles me are the reports that the US on N Koreas July 4 test had Kim Jong Un under observation at the missile test site for 45 minutes and could have struck and killed him ( well.. hopefully him) and didnt go for it. even with the propensity of body doubles and whatnot with no clear heir apparent and Jong Uns extreme speeding up of their missile and nuclear program vs his father and grand father means that really any N Korean general or communist lackey would probably be preferable to Jong Un. And whose to say a B1B massive JDAM strike on the missile and 'whoops we didnt know Kim was there' wouldnt lead to an internal coup or revolution and reunification? All I know is that the DPRKs propaganda demonizes the West and fantasizes about nuking America more than even the worst of Soviet propaganda, and their way more a threat than ISIS or Al Qaeda could ever be. To top that we already have fought a very bloody war with them and to be fair they have consistently pushed and pushed since then for a larger military that could be used aggressively and nuclear weapons and missiles coupled with clear statements their intention is to nuke America. If I had a very violent knife fight with someone down the st and since then theyd turned their house into an armed camp and continued from purchasing knives to guns to now having a TOW missile perched on their balcony aimed at my house and were regularly distributing leaflets in my neighborhood about their intention to blow me into ash.. Id end the threat sooner than later. like when the TOW launcher's missile comes in the mail next week.
  5. oh they definitely werent T72Bs or any sort of Russian domestic version. plus one could say that GW1 and the years of sanctions and no military aid to OIF equalled a drasticallly reduced in strength and morale terms Iraqi army. This isnt of course to take anything away from what the BluFor did in OIF in military terms it was a blitzkrieg campaign of the truest sort, but I wonder if it would have been possible to just invade after a couple days of heavy airstrikes a ala GW1 instead of month long air campaign. I think it would have been a much bloodier affair on both sides with an Iraqi army that didnt yet know what the US could do to it. Plus when you get down to it besides some small acquisitions the Iraqi army used much the same equipment in 03 as 91 whereas the US had gained upgrades to its m1s, b2s, javelins, jdams, and a huge advantage in morale that was the victory over Iraq before at a seemingly innocous cost for the Coaliation ( of course unless you were one of the ' light ' casualties )
  6. ISTR exceptionally heavy rpg 7 US in 2003 and Im also certain that At5s were used in Nasiriyah and the Thunder Run into Baghdad. I also really strongly seem to remember Kornets were used against US tanks as well. one incident i particularly remember reading about was an m1 that was mission killed in Baghdad and other m1s in its platoon were ordered to destroy it with their cannons, to destroy anything for the enemy etc. apparently the m1s had trouble penetrating the other m1. i also remember explicitly hearing about Bradleys KOing T72Ms with their 25mm cannons using DU rounds. of course all of this is aneceotal, im not going to bother looking for citations. p.s. i also remember in the early insurgency a Sarin (? or vx ?) shell was used as an IED on a US convoy. no one was killed by nerve agents however due to shell degradation and the facttbat as a safety measure the shells rotationin flight mixed chemicald to make the said chemical weapon. the soldietd gas warning tabs on their unfirorms along with a smell did lead to several soldiers receiving atrophine (sp?) shots.
  7. dont forget the Nazis used a VBIED nuke at the battle of Kursk in 1943... (yes that was a real thread by him)
  8. id imagine adult diapers... also i noticed a weird device that woman from philly used to pee on a US flag. basically its like a oval cup shape with a tube coming out. women eh put it up to their parts and pee and it comes out the tube. i imagine that could be used to fill gatorade bottles..
  9. Audie Murphie actually earned his MoH near Monschau France in the battles for the Colmar Pocket (Nordwind?)
  10. Lol Well we could always rematch on another title?
  11. finally got my comp issues sorted..... pm me or email jeffreypclark86@yahoo.com I like Company + sized battles. Im open to any side but prefer red
  12. you also could have german equipped. ut not many wehrmacht units. then latwr in campaign you could by wehrmacht (POW) units that volunteerwd from america or england to fight equipped in western equipment. just perhaps higher motivation and fitness than the still at home wehrmacht. i dont see a soviet equivalent with Germans though. def lublin govt poles etc
  13. +1 i think CM Able Archer 83 with date settings c for 85 and 87 would be a good start. then modules for WP other NATO mayve Sweden and also to expand to 89 and down to 75 to 80 range. i think a fantastic concurrent buddy project would be CM 1945 WW3. Allies. some straggler Wehrmacht units vs Red Army. no patton drives east. more like an essay i believe Glantz though i could be wrong in a book of what if scenarios about ww2. instead of a drive planned by one side confused fighting between sides as east meet west escalates then is squashed. tensions remain high and explode in early may with open combat breaking out. the wehrmacht troops would be 2nd line emwrgency troops of course. the mayve a module for berlin airlift goes hot and youre tasked toneither stop the imperialist advance on berlin or tasked to open a land route to berlin in 47
  14. Thanks man ill look into it Be honest though why do u recommend it for me? Feel free to pm.
