And since that threat no longer exists, NATO can send much more heavy material to Ukraine.

Still would like to try this mod myself, JM! Movement or not.

Und so ist es.

Rather annoying that we always have to wait and speculate.

NATO module. "And nothing else matters..."

George's battles can be rather...humbling.

Beneath article is very off topic and yet it isn't. Personally I can hardly believe it, but after some googling I found several sources that confirmed it. Another chapter of the glorious Soviet past. "In 1949, before the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Great Stalin, veterans, invalids of the Second World War, were shot dead in the USSR. Some shot, some taken to the distant islands in the North and remote corners of Siberia for further disposal. Valaam is a concentration camp for invalids of the Second World War was located on the island of Valaam (Lake Ladoga), where in 1950-1984 the maimed disabled veterans were taken to. Over one night, the authorities conducted a round up, gathered homeless disabled people, centrally transported them to the station, loaded them into wagons of the ZK type and sent them by echelons to the Solovki. No guilt or judgement admitted: the maimed must have not embarrassed citizens with their unpleasant appearance of their front-line stumps and spoiled the idyllic picture of the overall socialist prosperity of Soviet cities. The homeless veteran, tens of thousands in number after the war, first of all aroused anger and disgust among those who did spend the war at the headquarters. Rumours had it that Zhukov personally organized this action. The disabled were taken out from all major cities of the USSR, especially from the capital cities of the Soviet republics. The whole country was "cleaned up" over one night. It was a special operation of the unprecedented scale. Yes, the disabled tried to resist, threw themselves onto the rails, but they were picked up and taken anyway. Even the so-called "samovars" (100 000 men) were "taken out" - people without arms and legs. On the Solovki, they were sometimes taken out for a breath of fresh air and hung on the ropes of trees. Sometimes they were totally forgotten and froze to death. These were usually 20-year-old guys, crippled by the war and written off by the Motherland as the worked-out human material no longer benefiting the Motherland. Many of them were crippled during the storming of Berlin in March-April 1945, when Marshal Zhukov, in order to save tanks, sent infantry soldiers to attack minefields - thus stepping on mines and blowing themselves up - the soldiers cleared minefields with their bodies, creating a corridor for troops, thereby bringing the Great Victory closer. Comrade Zhukov proudly boasted of this to Eisenhower, which was recorded in the personal diary of an American military leader, who simply fell into a stupor from such revelations of his Soviet colleague. Disabled people who lived in families however were not touched. The "cleansing of the disabled" was repeated several times with the disabled also sent to boarding schools, resembling prisons, being under the full control of the cruel NKVD forces. Since then, there have been no disabled people in the veterans' parades and very few in the streets. They were simply removed as an unpleasant painful memory. Thus, the Soviet people could continue to carelessly enjoy the Soviet prosperous reality without the need to witness the unpleasant horrifying spectacle of thousands of the begging and drunken invalids with disabled stumps. Even their names have gone into oblivion. Much later, the happy go lucky survivors began to receive benefits from the state. Yet those poor legless and armless boys were simply buried alive on the Solovki islands, and today no one can hardly recall their names and their extreme suffering - this is how the final solution of the disability issue in the USSR was made."

Not to mention the many Polish women raped by their Soviet 'liberators'.

Germany needs to grow up and realize it's responsibility for the safety of Europe. And leave the past behind if it's a threat for the future.

Found on several sites. The Germans do their part, just not making as much noise about it as others. Typical German. "Contrary to popular perception, Germany has delivered significant amounts of arms and equipment to Ukraine to aid the country in its fight against the Russian military. In fact, the volume of arms deliveries by Berlin exceeds that of every other country safe for the United States and the United Kingdom. German materiel support already delivered to Ukraine includes one IRIS-T SLM SAM system, 30 Gepard SPAAGs, five M270 MLRS, 14 PzH 2000 self-propelled guns (SPGs) along with guided artillery rounds, 3200 man-portable air-defence systems (MANPADS), close to 10.000 Panzerfaust 3 and RWG 90 MATADOR anti-tank weapons, hundreds of vehicles, nearly 22 million rounds of ammunition and a plethora of other equipment including 28.000 helmets and MiG-29 spare parts. These deliveries are soon to be followed by a further three IRIS-T SLM SAM systems and seven Gepard SPAAGs. Berlin also contributed at least €2 billion to Ukraine's security capacity building fund with which the Ukrainian government can purchase armament from other countries, including a further 100 PzH 2000s and 18 RCH-155 SPGs from German arms manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. Germany is also the largest contributor to the refinancing fund of the European Peace Facility, which so far has enabled the provision of 2.5 billion euro, to be made available between 2022 and 2026, to support the delivery of military equipment of EU member states to the Ukrainian armed forces."

As most brilliant artists are, JM.

One of the most amazing sceneries I've ever saw in CM. Would love to play on that! Especially the 3rd and the 5th pictures are spectacular. And those dragon teeth, woow!

Would like to know that too please. Dragon teeth would be great, but preferably in neat lines.

I must admit that I've hardly touched Cold War so far, but that will change after the NATO-module is released. Going to watch this in preparation though. Thank you.

I'm afraid I don't understand your riddle, my friend

Ideas are cheap, my friend. It takes gifted people like you to make them reality.

Incredibly impressive work!

So how about a bone?

A fine plan. Time to go the next level with arms deliveries to Ukraine.

That's too much honor for me, Phil. I see myself more as an enthusiastic, but clumsy verger. I'll get back to you on the CMAutoEditor training next year. And yeah, best wishes for all CM folk and good hunting for 2023! P.s. and now I come to think of it. Especially good hunting for all the Ukrainians fighting for their freedom!

Oh, please, Waffelman. This is a wargame. And you don't have to use this mod. No offense. See it as a reminder that soldiers die and that war is a dirty, sad business. Personally I have the highest respect for all who fall for their country. And imagine a mission in which you have to recover the body of a fallen comrade behind enemy lines. Would be interesting.

That.

Very nice. Thank you.

I always use the foliage version. Looks so much better than without.
