My favorite is "3". The tank and BG sky is most dramatic and the text style was best. However, the text could still be a bit more historical/cyrillic. Maybe make it 3D-ish - like the way the Russians write on their memorials & coins (if you know what I mean?).

In the next module for CMBS perhaps?

"...if you're looking for an example of a niche company..." It's hard to understand why companies like Paradox are being used as examples that BF should find it easy to duplicate. Paradox Interactive is not a little niche company like BF. It can afford staff to do all the things requested: On May 31, 2016, trading in Paradox Interactive commenced on Nasdaq First North under the symbol PDX.[1] The initial price offering was 33 SEK (3.96 USD)[6] valuing the company at 3,485 million SEK (420 million USD).

Great news stories: Lockheed Upbeat Despite F-35 Losing Dogfight To Red Baron And I really liked the t-shirt! Anyone else like reading Private Eye in the UK? But... these online stories are way funnier - like The Onion.

same here. saw the new "Tina" musical in London a few months ago. Recommended if you get the chance to see it.

However, not so much with aircraft or tanks : Matilda, Covenanter, Valentine, Locust... Martlet, Fairey, Blackburn Skua, Percival Proctor...

It became "die at 105, shot in bed..."

ARMA used to be on disk. Can one not just buy a copy? Am not a fan of STEAM or anything that requires me to load extra online-required software on my clean machine.

Words to stay alive by. (Most) players want to enjoy themselves and not have a horrible experience playing a game. IED's work well when it's either obvious where they may be located (eg chokepoints etc) or the player has been warned re their deployment (eg: to avoid a booby-trapped area). At worst, designers should ensure that the player has sufficient men so that he can survive losing a squad or two to IED's and still accomplish the mission "satisfactorily" - ie have a good game experience.

Now am really interested. The ARMA I remember years ago was awful for single-player. Is there a recommended site where to get the ARMA game mods and scenarios and campaigns (similar to CMMODS etc.)? (Does one d/l or buy disk??) Am assuming that re the first post in this thread by Vinnart the "One Life Squad" game is only RT multiplayer. Is that correct?

Wow. I hadn't seen ARMA for many years. Amazing how the state of the art has progressed. Am I correct however, that this is online multiplayer and not much good solitaire vs AI? (If it's good vs AI, I am sold.)

+1 Taking oneself (and life) too seriously leads to elderlyness and death. A definite correlation.

Very informative article. Basically we're fighting a death cult. And how does one do that?

Looks very good. The god's eye view was the only odd aspect as knowing where everyone is including enemy in real time seemed a bit gamey. But, what a fun game.

In games one has to deal with abstractions. But, I forgot to mention what the others noted above - best method when one can't realistically find the triggerman is use smoke. If the triggerman can't see the IED, he can't blow it.

The trick is not to pepper the location of a suspected IED, but to kill the triggerman - ie: deduce where he may be hiding and blast those locations.

That is interesting. While CMSF generally had a major objective of reducing friendly casualties to a minimum. My experience with CMBS is that it is by far the most "lethal" environment - far more lethal than WW2. After the minimal casualties of CMSF, CMBS can be quite depressing to play if it reflects RL results. Perhaps individual player's styles of play make a big difference.

Brilliant... Thank you...

Saw you had a bunch of mods new on CMMODS. All new or are they reposts of older mods??

I'd buy an updated CMA as well. The game is a wonderful complete change of pace and era. Given the enthusiasm for CMSF2, there seems to be a market for reduxes.

I have a feeling that was one of the things that appealed for adding them. Many of were appealing for French hooker units in CMBN. So there is hope then...?

amazing work...

ie God-like and deserving of worship and human sacrifice...
