Loving it. Thank you...

If anyone hasn't checked I also uploaded CMA, CMBN and CMFI scenarios and campaigns. Am assuming everyone is up to date with CMRT and CMBS.

Ok seems I already had em. Thank you...

So, "RDM In for a Pound" is for CMFI. What are the other ones called?

Completed Mission #4 in New Russian Campaign. ********** SPOILERS *********** This one is a more classic all ahead river crossing and assault. Fairly small map, so not much maneuver possible. Again, send in recon units to spot the enemy positions. Use tanks mostly to snipe enemy tanks. Again, it seems that the Russian tanks and BMP's can usually spot first and shoot first. Russians have plenty of arty and a couple Hinds. However, it takes so long to call em in that only really useful vs buildings in town, and maybe linear along the river's edge where you'd expect defenders. Because of the small map it's hard to get much more the 300-500m LOS/range. That means that FO's and spotters are seen more easily and enemy arty gets called and it's nasty. Again, it's hard to avoid one's FO's from taking casualties... and/or they try to flee and that makes their arty calls even longer. Once the Ukrainian enemy found groups of inf or vehicles their arty is devastating. There is also Ukrainian or US aviation, and they made some nice big holes - one was 40m wide! And three BMP's were in the bottom KO'd. Had an issue with the paucity of Iglas AA missile units. Had three Iglas units. However, even with reloading from their BMP's, they fired off everything, ran out or missiles and then the enemy air hit my units and nothing I could do. It would be shocking in RL if one had so few AA assets, or reloads(!) Really enjoyed the first half. The 2nd half became a mess as I pushed forward to the bridges (the other river crossings didn't seem workable). I probably shoulda use smoke more. But it took so long to get Russian arty to do anything. Used vehicular smoke eventually to enable tanks and BMP's to reach the town and wipe out defenders. My Russian inf were mostly wiped out by enemy arty and air. However, killed enuff Ukrainians and some US advisors apparently and won a TV with over 10 minutes left on the clock. I could been a little slower and more careful and not suffered so many inf losses. However, in these missions the enemy always has more stuff than the attacker and their losses are much larger. Interestingly halfway through when I had to go out, I CF'd to see my progress and the campaign ended with a Minor Victory for the Russians. However, after playing to the end, the campaign continues - am now setting up Mission #5. This is a larger map. I just hope that my inf losses don't make these following missions impossible. While the 150mm and 220mm ammo is 100% replaced, ammo for the 120mm mortars is not resupplied. (Strange.) Nor (it seems) is ammo in the BMP's and tanks. Also, I find that my WIA/KIA tank crew are not replaced, neither are my FO's. I thought that was fixed a long time ago so that AFV crews and FO's as well as HQ units are replaced between missions. Surely that would be RL??

Ok good to know... How many RDM versions have you done? I only see that one in CMFI.

Invading those accursed Lithuanians would be a good idea. The Latvians aren't much better - I know... my wife's Latvian. But harmless beautiful little Estonia?? Oh, the humanity...

Man... you could really project quality UHD movies on the side of a large building with those!!

Maybe should consider uploading MOD FOLDERS for CMA, CMSF etc. My Z folders are up to about 20GB for some of the CM2 games.

"...more night tank battles - both sides have good night vision capability and would be using it." Since most modern armies prefer to fight at night, this is understandable. But, the CM2 game, in order to SEE anything, one has to increase the gain/brightness so much that it just looks bright but awful. So, realism be damned imo. It's nice to see the pretty full-color daytime graphics. It's almost worth making a separate game in which the only color is green night vision and save on all that money required to get color and texture correct. (Actually IIRC there is a mod that does that. CMSF?? Maybe folks should use that to get the night effect.)

That thing would be awesome for paintball...!

This should provide access to a comprehensive set of all CMSF scenarios and campaigns to date (along with same from other titles). https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B0HhNCJWAbKmcUF0VHRERzdvYTA

This should provide access to a comprehensive set of all CMFI scenarios and campaigns to date (along with same from other titles). https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B0HhNCJWAbKmcUF0VHRERzdvYTA

Uploaded new CMFI zip. It should be clean but let me know if any CMBN or other titles scenarios are still in there.

I think I cleaned out my CMFI scenarios folder - looks closer to 98 scenarios now not including "dealership" files.

Really interesting. I think there was jeep in there someplace. Also interesting philosophy that the parade leads with the best stuff and ends with trucks.

Thanks for pointing that out. In the rush to update 2 new computers I must have copied CMBN scenarios into the CMFI folder. How to weed em out efficiently?? I guess I could start with dates. When was CMFI released? I could get rid of anything in CMFI folders dated prior to that. Well... a good wake-up call for designers to properly label their scenarios so we can easily tell which game they are for. I see a bunch of "AD gamename" some look like CMFI, other for CMBN and can't tell which game they apply to...

Haven't heard anything from him. But, I took the liberty of uploading the CMFI files to his site as well now. Yes the files are renamed for CMFI.

That's kinda brilliant actually. Please let us have a list of the mods you have found to work well in CMFI. I probably have em all in CMA, CMSF etc. I love that you found a well in CMRT!

Two...! But that means that since there are only about 4 of us actively posting here or playing CM games, the market is already 50% female!

So now that bastid Schrodinger says his cat was with him the whole time. But, I got photos to prove it was here. How can his cat be in two places at the same time? I reckon Schrodinger has no exact idea where his bloody cat is at any time.

More to the point re the game, wasn't there a patch a long time ago that ensured that in campaigns an FO is "recovered/replaced" by the next mission so it can call for support. Otherwise it may be impossible to carry on a campaign if air or arty is critical to winning.
