In Soviet Russia, binoculars watch you!

Maybe no one knows as it''s no even been discussed yet. As for Black Sea does either Russia or the US or Ukraine still use them?
-
Yeah but I mean come on, the yacht payments have to be made right?

@The Captain, I'll make this question deliberately generic so you don't have to give anything away but do you have a bigger team lined up for the first module including perhaps a foreign national veteran of the nation of choice?

FASCAM (scatterable mines). They really barely apply to a CM battle but would be so cool. Close second would be mineplows and rollers/flails. But all of that would have added months to dev time (it wasn‘t an easy port from elsewhere, we asked).
Done differently...hmm. Well we definitely have a few ideas moving forward and there are some things that I will avoid. For example it may seem simple but the US 1979 Campaign was a serious pain to make even though it was supposed to be nearly the same as the 1982 but with older kit. Doing multiple versions of the same campaign is something I will personally avoid if I can. Beyond that probably a bigger team, we did a lot of the early stuff with only four of us and it was a lot. We could have gotten farther with a few more people earlier on. Plus we can move faster with a core team.
By four do you mean Steve and Charles along with you and Bil, or some other two?
-
Was adding ICM already at the top of Battlefront's to do list or pushed to the top by Bil and the Captain for this family?

Read Elvis's last post in this thread:

There are hints something else will be announced today....

Ramming speed!

I like v6 but if you're trying to get away from brown then v4.

Good to hear from you Mord. You going to do a dealership?

Didn't the French refuse to deploy outside of France.
No, as I recall two or three French divisions were stationed in West Germany, plus as others have mentioned, there was a French brigade in Berlin.
-
So what was it that convinced Steve and Charles to go ahead with this project?
-
In WW2 Us airborne divisions were used as emergency reinforcements at the beachhead at Salerno and to block the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. They were almost dropped on Rome as part of a coup. They fought as elite ground troops in Vietnam. I'm sure others can think of more examples. Our war here would be won or lost in Germany. I would find it most probable most of 82nd would show up for the fight and probably sooner than later.

Liquidators? Nice photos.
-
I recall a monthly comic book about vehicle maintenance too.
-
The picture of the US tank on the flatcar, is that a M-60? The reverse turret throws me.
-
I don't suppose all the railway lines will come with the electric wires in this game?
-
I'd expect France would be more willing to enter the war than the Warsaw Pact allies.
-
Are you familiar with this thread?
-
I thought the Kuwait War was clear enough as opposed to the Iraq War, but perhaps my dislike of naming them First and Second Gulf Wars got the better of me.
-
IIRC they were the first US tanks to take station in Saudi Arabia in the Kuwait War but I don't know if they actually saw action.
-
Is first class the equivalent of Rifle Marksmen ?

I inquired on Board Game Geek Wargamers area and got this reply so far:
"In about 1981 or maybe 1982, I was the S-4 of 1-34 Armor and we deployed as a part of REFORGER and drew a POMCUS set. The set of equipment was well maintained and we had no real problems during the draw, operations, or turn in. The equipment or at least some, of the equipment was not new. I remember looking at tank serial numbers - I don't remember if I had to sign verify the serial numbers of the equipment I was signing for or not - but I essentially signed for a tank battalion, one each complete. At least one of the serial numbers seemed to me to be one of the M60A1 Rise Passive tanks I had been signed for as a tank and cavalry platoon leader in 1/11 ACR. As I was leaving the 11th ACR just as we were getting the first generation of M60A3s (laser range finder, but no thermal sights), it makes sense that the tanks, only about 18 months old, would be put into POMCUS. As I recall, POMCUS sites were periodically updated, but were not necessarily the most recent tanks fielded."
What Subject For The First CMCW Module?
in Combat Mission Cold War
