I am a consumer. Its pretty simple. You have all these nations and business's supporting Ukraine and I used to hate some of the companies I mentioned. Electronic Arts is a company I can't stand and yet they are taking a stand. As a consumer I am now expecting business's that I deal with to step up and do the right things.

P.S. I love the Robotech image

We need a no fly zone even if it risks WW3. People in WW2 did not question the "what if's. They just did the decent and right thing to do. That said I suspect nuclear war within a month. If we all die doing the right thing then god bless.

We now have Steam, EA, Sony, and Microsoft pulling their games. Visa, Master Card and Paypal have pulled payments from Russia. This War of Mine raised $850,000 in 1 week for an 8 year old game. I find it funny that the Big Time Software (Now Battle Front) is staying quiet. Usually the discussions in this forum are pretty intellectual and yet more kids on Steam are saying to support doing something than people on this forum. Also large companies are pulling out of billions compared to the small amount you could do. Do something. P.S I have every Combat Mission game since 2000 except Afganistan so I am a long time customer. I am not some kid feeling entitled. Its the right thing to do when you make money off of a fictional war in Ukraine.

Well "This War of Mine" must be 5 years old. It only began selling again because of the message proceeds would go to Ukraine. That lead to sales. Perhaps that could happen in this scenario? It couldn't hurt. EDIT: It came out on Nov 14th 2014.

There should be no expansion until this war is over. I think it would be disrespectful while the conflict is on going. On a side note I don't think the expansion will ever come. I believe in 7 days we will have a nuclear war going on.

P.S. I play and have played wargames for 25 years. Its time I step up and do the same. I have already made donations. I get my enjoyment from the misery of war and I am questioning if I should do that. I should say I have played every version of Combat Mission since the first back in 2000 or so.

The game "This War of Mine" has pledged to send all profits for the next week to support the people who need food and aid in Ukraine. So far they have raised 160,000 dollars. Given the nature of Black Sea I think Battlefront should do the same. As a developer who makes money off of war I think this would be the right thing to do. So.... How about doing this?

I didn't think it was possible to ever be "finished" with a Battlefront game

I just bought the complete upgrade to Shock Forces 2.0. I can activate it but then the launch splash screen comes up and it doesn't progress. Also if I launch it again it makes me re-activate again. Something is up I guess in the registration process.

Moral was at cautious and after spending a couple turns getting the commander in the area it did drop to nervous. After laying there for 10-15 turns that doesn't seem like it would be morale after that length of time for a veteran unit.

Here is a screen shot of the terrain. The bunker next to them has been knocked out for 10-15 minutes in game along with the German Vehicle. I just left them behind while the rest of the platoon scouted ahead for Germans. You can also see the command link.

Terrain is fine. Nothing but light woods, open terrain and road. Even just ordering them 1 grid spot has them laying prone.

So, I got a bug with a mortar team that will not move. The scenario is Out on a limb and involves either the 82nd or 101st. I don't recall exactly off hand. Any how the unit is veteran/rested and started out cautious. There are no enemy's that they can see and are none for about 300 meters. They have taken no causalities and yet when I issue my movement commands they do NOT move at all. At the start of the next turn the commands have been wiped. They are at the edge of some woods and I am trying to move them around the woods and across a field. There are no enemy's with LOS in this area and I have 4 squads spread out in the woods blocking them from any enemy attack. This has been going on for over 10 turns now and its probably closer to 15 turns. I even moved a command unit that was about 100 meters away to be right next to them at about 18 meters away. I am on engine 4 on all my games but I haven't played much at all since that update came out, but I have never seen this behavior before and I have every title that has come out over the past 18 years or so. I can provide a save game if anyone is interested.

I got a hurricane heading in this week. Any chance the SF2 demo comes out so may last words with power for a while will be "damn it, that didn't work". :) :) :) For those closer to the storm get ready to get out or hunker down real tight.
