And on the same game im playing and ive saved it a sniper team plotted to go backward and sideways are still moving forward. Seems to be locked in that movement. Ill send it to BF for comment as its a PBM with passwords. Has happened on RT as well. Yeah could be vehicle plots needing space but ive never had trouble with that before. I do not recall issues with that and CMBO lol

I have none saved at the end of a plot ill consider saving to show in the future

It was grass and road forest to the left and hedge to the far right he was away from both I try to keep them as far away form terrain as possible I noticed this playing RT as well its not consistent - ie doing this every time you do moves but will happen and usually when you don't want it to. I noticed in RT some small trees my tank would normally crush down moving into it my pziv veered wide of some and went through others and went wider then i asked it to your trying to keep tanks in cover but they go further out when they move The problem is Tanks should always be used in assault moving forward but in this game moving them can be problematic and they can stuff up if they clip terrain. Sometimes i feel the game forces us to use them defensively Its just been recently and I'm wondering has something be changed in the last few patches?

Hey Battlefront Ive been noticing vehicles are not moving as I'm directing them to with the movement plots. I had in my current game for example a plot to move a vehicle forward on slight angle slightly right then straighten up The HT has plenty of space he decides to go forward as i plotted and then turns 180 right and move into a hedgerow - get stuck and then do a 360 turn Its actually making the game unplayable with armour and vehicles This happened pre the recent patch and I thought was a one off but ive seen happen to many times since with vehicles just doing bizzare movements. Is this a known problem? The precise movement of armour can be really important and as a result my support HT instead of lining up a shot on his light armour is being shot at as he is exposed sideways as it sits and trys to do a 360 turn in a hedge row which it was never near originally but decided to go towards. Its just absurd. Its like you plot movements then the crew drink all the snapps in Germany and do what they want. With the lack of armour in my game this could potentially lose the game for me.

Thanks for sharing that Steve. I can see your logic and basis. As for all the other posts disputing who did what. Im in New Zealand. I read multiple military forums and read NZ, US , RT and other alternative news websites. With news these days it hard to really know whats going on. Even in NZ someone has there spin. I find photos which are posted alot on military forums the best source of info myself. Alot of military people know there stuff and share photos. A picture paints a thousand words. Photoshoped and bull**** pics are often clear to see. There are alot of clued up people out there who can see fake pics and everyone seems to have a camera lol. Those pics are clear to me. With other sources checking into the plates you can generally trace or find out vehicle info and sometimes movements. So you can get into it more with intelligence assets. Any way good work. And i think before people are critical of your comments to remember you clever fellows predicted this or close to to make this game. And they should be critical of there sources....How accurate are they? RTs full of spin on this subject Shock force and syria is another great prediction. Cheers

So in your opinion Steve what do you believe will happen over the next few years from a military action perspective?

Well done Steve. Throughly researched lol The media should be coming to you for info. Those last pics you posted they looked pretty geared up and professional. So with all this info you are obtaining is it influencing the game / scenario development? Have you been surprised at any specific events or units being effective / ineffective.

Russia is now very economically aligned with china. Things have changed since the demise of USSR. By trading with other countries not aligned with the Wests / Natos strategy they are trying to become economically secure.

I read in The Secret War book by George Friedman Rumsfeld was focused on the idea of hyper sonic aircraft ( Global strike capability ) and special forces or smaller groups of soldiers with more lethal capacity in his design of the future US army. That is if he was pulling the strings. This was back in 2004 and now we have hyper sonic drones and USSOCOM is flat tack operating and has done strikes in 71 countries over many years. Its budget has expanded massively. This was clearly reflected in the documentary by the guy who exposed Blackwater in the US. It was disturbing in parts some of the misisons being carried out but interesting to see the massive special operations expansion of the US military in line with this book that was written in 2004. Obamas guys are following suite and expanding on this with massive drone fleet. Will the game reflect this more or will it be more platoon on platoon type games? I wasn't sure how detailed you were going in this game. Ultimately Rumsfeld's main strategic focus was to be able to go to war with china in all spectrum's in 10-20 years with development of this tech. Along with smaller fights. Its quite interesting the book to read on military intelligence and Al Qaedas origins. Al Qaeda means The Base in reference to a Caliphate starting point. The base was in Afghanistan. The author of the book noted there was no massive Muslim uprising and that it failed well it has happened 9 years later. Very interesting.

Epic Teaser Well done

Vehicle pack included so you have but cannot use it unless you buy. Your opponent can use it if they bought it so they get extra units. Means upgrade packs are usable and people dont have to wait for others to buy them to use in pbm games etc. Makes sense.

Many of my RT and CM opponents are german and russian players. So the game is played in countries close to the conflict for sure. Back in CMBB days i had heaps of russian pbm opponents i played against. However if i was in a real conflict area as said i wouldnt be playing a game lol id be out protecting my family and area i lived in.

Does anyone have a link to a pen chart for cm2?

Is it a chinese type 79 clone? And yes I agree a pic thread of members. Ill have to get one with my AR15

Im hoping for middle east at war conflict. Europe at war and China rising. Allow all countries and have all different maps under one game with addon modules. Rainforest jungle terrain. Conflict africa or south america.

Hey thats awesome good spotting

Is it possible modded buildings are giving this problem? Try removing ya Z folder.

What would be interesting is armed patisans popping up under ai control in houses etc. Would make battles even more unpredictible. They could attack either side based on certain conditions being met.

I agree with MikeyD. No one would use them. If they did may as well use low yeild tactical nukes. Would escalate fast. With all the civvies around killing everybody will not win hearts and minds so to speak.

Maps get posted on the Blitz and sent out monthly for comment. Try using this club. We play on ladder cm games. Good community there. GAZ

Oh ok Was wondering what all the Hoo Harr was about. Im running a win7 asus mobo intel chip 3.5ish speed nivida card 8 gig ram 8 gig It does the job no issues. upgrading to an i7 or faster next year if this prob lurks might make me delay upgrading as im quite fond of red thunder. Please fix or somefink! Thats my quote so it means somefink now lol

Last pbm i played my AA crew got mowed down by mg42 fire in 2 turns. Wish they had a force field lol

whats the deal with the single story bug? Never seen it happen with entering a single story building or anybuilding. Game plays fine. If it was an issue neither side can use building so pretend building is boobytrapped lol Only bug i ever saw was a guy from squad walking 200 yards in front of his team mates lol He was doing recon lol Either way wait for patch No biggie

He was area targeting building HE round took it out atleast my crews ok
