    It is the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR - not BOAR) and the northern Germany tasking piece in terms of a Warsaw Pact attack is not true.  The 1 (BR) Corps northern boundary, which was the fighty bit of BAOR, was around the Hannover area (so about 150 odd klicks south of Hamburg).  The British element slated for the possibility of deploying to Commander, Allied Land Forces Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland (COMLANDJUT) was 6 Field Force from April 1977 until it was retitled 1 Infantry Brigade in January 1982.  The force, which also crops up with the name United Kingdom Mobile Force (UKMF) was a United Kingdom Land Forces (UKLF) asset, not a BAOR asset.

    I may or may not have been a part of it in the mid-80s.

    Sorry for butchering the BAOR acronym 😁
    I mearly ment the Danes were neighbouring British forces so it would be logic to include in the same module. 🙂
    Did the Danes have forward tasks south of the Danish border so to speak or am I remembering that wrong?

    Maybe we should take that in pm's as to not derail this thread? I'd appriciate tips on reading on the subject. 🙂

  2. As much as I'd love the Swedish forces inclusion in a module, it would only really make sense as a part of a north Norway scenario where the Soviets does a "south hook" through nothern Finland and Sweden to flank the NATO forces in northern Norway.
    USMC, UK & Dutch Marines and Canadians along with Finnish and Swedish forces. Soviets get Naval infantry and VDV. Biggus Modulus that one. 🙃

    Sweden as a seperate module timeline; When hell have frozen over thrice.  But reasearching the TO&E isnt a showstopper at least... 😁

    Danes could be included along with BOAR as they had tasks in northern Germany iirc. Same module could have the Polish forces, including their Naval infantry. :)

  3. Yeah the isolation aka stay "neutral" "or else" via threat of nuking was a very likley, the Soviets was well aware of how our politicians worked/work... 
    On the other hand all Soviet plans for any thrusts west into Europa involved liberal use of tactical nukes pretty much mooting CW game scernarios that people like us like to play out in wargames like Combat Mission. 🙃😁

  4. As related to the above and the linked discussion, I was watching Usually Hapless Firefight 1 YT video and noticed that one of the casulty animations is face down on the belly . This could serve as a replacment for the "baby curl" cowering animation as per standard.

    So my question is; Are casaulty animations specified for each pose having its own file or is it one file that get randomized from with several diffrent outcomes?
