Most of the CMSF1 UI, Terrain, Vehicle, and FX mods work in CMSF2.   My understanding is that CMSF1 uniforms do not work(?)

It was a record 21 degrees C (70F) yesterday - blue skies and sunshine.   That's astonishing for February in London. 

Looks good.  My only thought is to dirty up the green camo a bit.  Looks new.

Bootie is working hard and tells me that he uploads 30-50 mods per day to CMMODS IV (the guy has a RL job and life).  But, he'll get it done, and we owe him a huge "thank you" for setting all this up for us. 
 

Believe me... Bootie is doing all the hard work.  I am now sunning myself in tropical London.

Good advice.  There is always the temptation to keep every unit "doing something".  In CM2 there are frequently periods of time where one simply has to wait several turns for some other action to be completed - and that can be frustrating (for those of us who are impatient for "action").
The other lesson is that one should, if at all possible, not "stand and die".  If you find units in bad situations it's almost always better to FAST move them to safety and NOT try and fight it out while bringing up reinforcements (ie don't reinforce failure piecemeal).

I would prefer your idea over Iron Mode.  Interesting.

Yes, money being to most efficient way to project said power. It allowed the US to become the preeminent military and economic power it is today. Too many seem to think that another global conflict will simply be averted by posting trolling nationalistic nonsense on facebook.
With a long history of peaceful changeover of power domestically through representative democracy and the institutionalized respect for the rule of law, the rest of the world had one less autocracy to contend.
Unfortunately, the first salvo in the current conflict is cyber and the western democracies are slow to mitigate efforts from certain foreign state actors to undermine the underlining institutions (free press/judiciary/wealth distribution/etc.). It's taking them time to realize that building another tank or plane isn't going to work.
It was never as simple as building a wall or retreating from the global community. We have two millennia of tribalism to prove this doesn't work. One needs to wonder what has transpired in the last 70+ years that has caused large global conflicts to be avoided. I don't know, maybe we are all better off growing our militaries,  projecting geopolitical power in isolation and treating all interaction as zero sum. I'm sure we're better served with fewer diplomats and international organizations.
Western democracies have been slow to recognize the weaponization of refugees, the undermining of institutions, and the inequality of wealth distribution.
We don't need another weapon system - we need to stop the balkinization of telecommunications and encourage more transparency in government. We need to recognize that economic sanctions alone isn't going to be enough. The big boys need to arrive at a understanding as to what constitutes allowable cyber warfare/espionage in polite society. Until then - enjoy the continued constant information and influence attacks on western democracies.

FWIW Over the years, I downloaded everything on the Repository - except perhaps mods that were only of use in the editor for designers, and H2H scenarios (as I never had time to play H2H).
So, am confident that Bootie and CMMODS IV will be able to offer a comprehensive list.
(Glad you are feeling better btw!)

Hope this will be very useful to all members.  Glad my mod slut-ness finally paid off. 

Exactly.  That's what Monkey King was asking about.  I get PM's regularly from PO'd people who are fed up with certain members jumping on them when they make what seems like reasonable posts that for unknown reasons seem to irritate them.
If you don't like certain posters then just put em on your IGNORE list and everyone is happy.

At least some of us want to play the latest version of a campaign with all the advantages of the latest engine.  Why is this upsetting you so much?  Calm down dude.  No one is criticizing you if you want to go play CMSF1.  What do you think you arecontributing to this thread?

Not sure what Shane is planning re CM1.  He is doing all the work I am simply supplying the mods and scenarios and campaigns (and also some interesting game data that players accumulated over the years). 
Re CM1 I have heavily modded BMP folders for CMBB and CMAK (not sure if I still have CMBO).  In CM1, one had to replace original "basegame" graphics with new ones in the same BMP folder.  So, many of the original (base install) mods are deleted from my CM1 games.  But one can get them back by reinstalling a CM1 game. 
I may still have a lot of "raw" zipped mods that I downloaded for the CM1 games and did not use.  But, will have to check when I get back home.
