Yes, IIRC all scenarios will eventually be there as well (and/or in the Scenario Depot).  "Rats" is about 800KB.  If you PM me your e-mail address I should be able to send it as an e-mail attachment.

All one has to do is do a uniform mod, and you can have pretty much any unit you want.  BF simply doesn't want to get bad press re officially portraying mass murderers.  Is that so difficult to understand?

I have that and have sent everything to Bootie for his CMMODS IV.  It's 1.4MB so if you have dropbox...?

Yes, as usual nice speech.  If only he had been President and actually been able to do something.

Well, that is clearly indisputable and irrefutable proof that no one can argue with.  Case closed your honor.  Get the black cap on..   

That was down to lens focusing.  If you use a longer focal length lens you can make objects look close that are actually not.  There may exist legit criticisms of Trump, but they are always undercut when people who want to vent personal animosity get hysterical over made up nonsense as that erodes their own credibility re legit criticisms.  Hysterical reactions to every little thing that certain people dislike about Trump erodes support for their position (and is what will help get him re-elected).  
It would be great if Bernie Sanders got the Dem nomination.  He is the best fighter the Dems have, and even if he didn't beat Trump, we would finally see a real discussion of radically different viewpoints as to what direction the US should go re social and economic issues.
And the debates would be very entertaining of course.  Max ratings.

Talking about "smoke and mirrors", China is an abominable authoritarian dictatorship which seems hell-bent on military expansion (eg: South China Sea and also the very little reported conflict with India in "3 Corners" area of Bhutan) and has put over a million people in forced labor camps: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/world/asia/xinjiang-china-forced-labor-camps-uighurs.html  while designing a ghastly police state where one's every movement, even facial expressions, are monitored by AI to detect possible dissent.  
One has to remember that the "modern face of China" is only represented by a thin strip of Economic Enterprise Zones that run along its coast.  If you travel a few hundred miles inland you step back a thousand years into a 3rd world country - the standard of living of the vast majority of its population. 
The point is that China is well known for consistent lying (remember how the artificial islands built in the S. China Seas were "only for research purposes and would never be militarized"?   We really do not know the truth about the pandemic in China.  Time will eventually tell as it's harder to lie for a long period of time about economic impacts.
"Our failures" fade into insignificance compared to China's.
 

Aren't you on "lock down"?  This IS the time...  

First thing is make sure you rename the folder in which the desired mod files are kept with at least one "Z" in front of the name so that it loads last.  eg "Z DESIRED MOD".
If you are going to use a lot of mods, I recommend that you create a bunch of subfolders like: Z SFX; Z TERRAIN & WEATHER; Z UNIFORMS; Z UI; Z SOUNDS; etc.plus a "ZZ DESIRED MODS" folder for new or experimental mods you want to check out before putting em in one of the existing folders.  
 

Love it!

I am so ready for stay at home to go away and for FR to be released so we can have this.

Little teaser - coming soon: 

I thought that the Italians actually had very good aircraft.  Eg  205 Veltro was highly respected by Allied and Axis pilots alike. Widely regarded as one of the best Italian aircraft of World War II, it proved to be extremely effective, destroying a large number of Allied bombers.
(Or was that only at the beginning and were later outclassed?)

And they'd have a new wav file: "Allo, allo, allo, wots das alles dann?"

@theforger did a great job programming the US attack(s) as if he could read my mind and see what the Germans were doing.  The timing and execution was exquisite - like playing H2H.

+1  Everyone has been making heroic efforts. 
I can't even begin to comprehend how Mike Pence survives the pressure of standing around like a vertical car crash dummy.

They are only 30 minute episodes, Alhamdulillah!  They probably all blow themselves up in suicide bombings (or get KIA by drone strikes) by the end making a 2nd season challenging.
Re Covid, am impressed that Trump has the stamina to keep up briefings 7 days a week.  Have noticed that his mostly younger advisors have to rotate their attendance to give themselves a day off every now and then. 
After this is all over it will be interesting to compare overall death stats for the January-? period as far fewer fatal road accidents are happening, and presumably there are many other infectious diseases that could be fatal that are not being caught due to no travel.
 

The problem I have found in the past is that the troops do not react as if they know anything is there.  Eg: One can set up a lovely ambush behind a low was and have guys lying there waiting for an AFV to come along.  A tank parks just on the other side of the wall, and the troops can't hear it and do nothing.
I have also moved AT troops towards a sound marker in dense woods or smoke knowing that there is an AFV there (they saw it in a previous turn or from another unit) but the AT team cannot see or attack the AFV from even a few feet away.  This has happened so many times, I don't even bother worrying about it anymore and make allowances for the fact that this is a game and not perfect.  But, that doesn't mean it's not a real issue that hopefully will get addressed - even if it takes till CM3.

Enjoyed this mission as a break from being yet again massacred playing CMBS.  Would recommend "Consulate Evacuation" to folks wanting to brush up their MOUT-like skills in an urban environment before they tackle a hard urban scenario like the very tough "Relief of Joker 3" set on its amazing (huge) Ramadi map.
"Consulate Evac" feels a bit like a beta as there are some oddities.  Eg: The conscript consulate staff (played by spy units) who have to be rescued are able to call down air support as quickly as one's JTAC/FO.  Some of the US troops take even longer and some can't call air at all. 
On the whole it's a fun exercise to get everyone to the evacuation zone with no KIA.  It's a 100 minute mission.  I found that I could break into the Consulate with engineer charges and rescue the staff in the first 15-16 minutes.  There was a fierce fight around the consulate, but after that had a fairly easy fight through the streets to the LZ which was reached after a total of 45 minutes - which is fortunate as that is when the sun comes up and the US loses its night vision advantage.  Soon after US troops entered the LZ, the mission abruptly ended with a Total Victory... although there were still Jihadist (or whatever they were) locals still around but nowhere where they could cause a threat.
So, a very pleasant experience.  US only suffered 6 WIA, no KIA and no vehicles or staff lost.  Not a tough fight.  Probably a good scenario for a newbie to gain MOUT experience on a decent-sized urban map.
 

This surprised me.  Neighboring Oman can be nice, but I would never have considered Yemen a tourist destination.

Makes one hunger again for early war CM2.

"The German first echelon attack was launched at dawn on 22 September 1940 and consisted of 8,000 airborne troops and 80,000 infantry landed in amphibious operations. The invasion fleet suffered only minor losses to Motor Torpedo Boats, however the Germans lost about 25% of the barges used for the first echlon when these were destroyed on the beaches. During this 24-hour period the Royal Air Force lost 237 aircraft (about 23% of its fighting strength); the Luftwaffe losses amounted to 333, also about 23% of its aircraft. Naval engagements were indecisive at this stage as the Royal Navy was still assembling its main destroyer fleet to attack; but a small force of destroyers, supported by the cruiser HMS Manchester, attempted to reach the invasion beaches from Portsmouth, and were easily sunk by the German destroyer and S-boat escorts. The larger ships of the Royal Navy Home Fleet (including battleships, heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers) were not to be committed due to their vulnerability to air attack and U-boats.
The Germans managed to advance a dozen or so miles inland and even captured the ports of Folkestone and Newhaven but the docks at Folkestone had been thoroughly demolished by the British rendering them more or less unusable. British and Commonwealth forces were moved to fully engage in the battle with the first counterattack on 23 September, halting the advance of the Germans towards Hastings and recapturing the western bank of Newhaven. German paratroops were also pinned down by long-range artillery directed onto the captured aerodrome at Lympne by stay-behind forces. At this stage the Germans had few tanks (including amphibious tanks) and only light artillery ashore. An increasing shortage of ammunition was slowly forcing them back towards the sea. The Germans asked "Hitler" if the nighttime bombing of London could stop and the aircraft used to support the invasion. The request was denied. By dusk on 23 September the Germans had the assault troops 10 divisions ashore, but most were halted by counterattacks, and were awaiting the remainder of their equipment, stores and personnel on the second and third echelons."
