What do you guys think would be a fair price for CM if the original supplier runs out? I think $100 bucks, easy.

a helpful way to see how "senior" a member is by looking at his profile(left icon of the four in each message). a lot of posts probably means he knows a bit...

slave labor, u get what u pay for(or more than what u bargained for)
ambrose's "citizen soldiers" has a paragraph saying how in interviews american soldiers mention german duds a lot(one had 8 in a 30m? radius around his hole). but his german interviwees didn't say anything about it.

The following is Michael K. Robel, LTC, AR, USAR evaluation of the proposed Medium brigades vs. the current heavy force from Jim Dunnigan's strategypage.com web site.
"Lessons Learned
As expected, principles for a lightly armored wheeled force are the same as for a heavier tracked force, but their employment is different. Lessons learned included:
-- The LAV series vehicle is vulnerable to 14.5 mm heavy machine gun fire out to about 1,000 meters, particularly if the shooter is stationary, hull down, and concealed.
-- The lack of the TOW on every LAV makes employing these units against a force with main battle tanks different as compared to BFVs. However, each platoon has four Javelin missiles, so this is somewhat mitigated.
-- The attacking medium force must make shorter bounds then a heavy task force. Massive overwatch fires are necessary. I overwatched the movement of single platoon with as many as seven platoons. Ensure the Assault Guns or Javelin’s are properly positioned. The Javelins must be dismounted.
-- The large amount of mortars is a plus, enabling a massive amount of indirect fire on the enemy. The medium Scout Platoon is more lethal than the heavy TF Scout Platoon, but the temptation to use it to fight is much greater, since they are not in HMMWVs.
-- Even more than the heavy force, finding or creating a flank is a necessity. The lighter vehicles are much more vulnerable on the flanks than is a heavy force, making being caught in a fire sack or against a mine field a real trap.
-- The US either needs a longer range ATGM or a countermeasure device to balance out the long-range fires of the OPFOR ATGMS. The AT-7 and AT-10s outrange the TOW and the M1A2 by at least 1,000 meters. In spite of my previous articles conclusions concerning the four versus three-company battalion, we should consider leaving the heavy units at four companies apiece."

Now, the first tank we had, behind the driver and the assistant driver there was a cubbyhole for shells for the 75-millimeter gun. But every time you wanted one of them, you’d skin your knuckles trying to get them out of there, so we never used it. Instead we would pile the extra ammunition on the turret floor

-Do vehicles offer any defensive "Cover" for infantry?
=no, the calculations are too complex. only if they are dead & burning.
-Also I see a lot on "Mods" are these easy to install?
=yes, just get the files and copy them into your BMP directory in your combat mission folder
-will my opponent see them or does he need them too?
=no, he has his own files
not sure about pillbox, you may want to search on it(yeah, first time i ever told someone to search)

another discussion had complaints about the rush to the flag in meeting engagements.
i thought about making some a random generated map and adding water. the flag would be way the hell in the middle of a solid water area, with the actual battlefield being the land to the one side.
EX)
...........oooooooooo
...........oooooooooo
..X........oooooooooo
...........oooooooooo
...........oooooooooo
X is flag, o is land.
does anyone have suggestions to make better meeting engagement maps?

too bad it had to be reloaded while sitting...
