    You download one installer, run it, enter your code to verify it, and Bob's your uncle you're up to date.

    Yeah...   That's what I do every year or two as sometimes updates do strange things.  So easy.  In all other issues, gamers want things yesterday.  With Steam users, they seem happy to wait for weeks/months to get what BF purchasers get immediately.  Weird.  Plus I like that BF gets 100% of my money.

  2. Just curious...   With all the problems people are having with Steam, why not just buy the games direct from BF and get updates as soon as they come out instead of waiting for weeks?  Normally, folks here are very impatient.  But, Steam seems to get a "get out of jail free" card.

    one you've sent scouts ahead, you cannot split the remaing six men into one manoeuver and one support element. That's a weakness.

    Yes, a problem with all titles.  In CMBS the Ukrainian 7 man squad can be split into 3 elements:  2 x 2 man teams and 1 x 3 man team.  This gives much more flexibility.  Cannot understand if BF is saying that it is unrealistic for NATO forces to split into three teams or...?  

  4. Interesting analysis and info.  Thank you.  

    The issue is not just about Taiwan itself, but the way China is trying to control the entire S. China Sea through which over 90% of the world's shipping passes.  (Also, China claiming all rights to fishing and minerals right up to the 12 mile limits of many SE Asian nations.)  All of this due to China lying about the peaceful purposes of the artificial islands it created and claiming "would never be militarized".

    Ships can go a longer way round avoiding Chinese dominated areas, but that is like saying that "it is not important who controls the Suez canal" cos ships can always go "the long way round".

  5. IIRC I played this with little trouble.  The successful tactic is to locate the enemy positions with carefully moving inf scouts (even sound contacts are accurate in CM) and then find the furthest away location (ie: safest) to use all 4 SPW's to fire at suspected or known enemy postions for a few minutes.

  6. Just realized that "Die Kunst Des Krieges"campaign is also yours(!)  

    Is "NATO Die Kunst Des Krieges SF2" (dated 3/11/2019) the same as the "Die Kunst Des Krieges" dated 6/25/2020?

    Have noticed many different versions and updates of the same campaigns and scenarios since CMSF1 and am trying to delete the obsolete versions.
