Another item. This is a US M728 combat engineer vehicle from the period. I assume it was somewhere in the division Engineer battalion. The main armament is a 165mm M135 short-barreled demolition gun with 30 rounds of HEP (high explosive, plastic) ammunition. I know Batttlefront isn't keen on specialist engineer vehicles. Also I think if they added it, people would expect the dozer blades to work which would require extensive new coding.

The whole universe is just a computer simulation anyway right? Quantum physics proves it. To save on processing power, things aren't rendered until they're observed.

Hi, right, I got where the RPOs fit in. I was asking about the M202A1.

I had to exist somewhere in the TO&E. Or is it part of an asset not in the game?

How can we be sure that's not the evil Steve from the Mirror Mirror universe?

And if you don't mind answering Steve, if I'm not mistaken, the accompanying map to CMSF One did not include any Turkish forces on the NATO side. Many NATO forces started out in Turkey however. Was the absence of Turkish ground forces intentional? Thanks

I read a post once somewhere that I know I wouldn't be able to find again, so consider it apocryphal, but it was supposedly from a former East German soldier who said if they went to war with NATO, the first thing they would do was kill their officers.

Sgt Joch posted a link to an Afghanistan discussion at the A few Good Men website: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/threads/us-withdrawal-from-afghanistan-your-thoughts.33410/#post-319695 TGFM is a good club if you are looking for MP games as well... Probably best we don't start another here. It's not as if anything will be resolved. IIRC however, there are some Afghanistan mods and scenarios for CMSF.

iirc Steve once talked about an Elite forces Pack for CMFI. I can see the same for CMBN. Of course scenario pack are always popular.

But he doesn't ignore them.

First I want to say I fully support Battlefront's and the Cold War designers decision not to simulate chemical weapons use in Cold War. I'm not qualified enough to critique the linked essay, but the author argues, despite all the major players training to defend against chemical attack, their use would probably not have occurred in our Cold War gone hot Germany setting.

Nationale Volksarmee (or something like that). The East German Army.

I'd make people pay a ransom to get their reputation points back.

Spain was not part of NATO at the time, though IIRC the US had an air wing there. Portugal's army was pretty small. Who's to tell who would do what? There are so many variables. For Turkey I just wish MikeyD would release that Turkish Leopard mod he was working on for Shock Force 2.

That also looks as if it's the intended Corps composition once all the Reforger units arrive.
