    Dissapointed with the research that went into this

    in Combat Mission Afghanistan

    Quick comment:

    The BMD-1 is in the game already. I just checked the TO&E code and it's there. Just change the Equipment Quality to a lower setting (especially dead last) and you'll see them.

    Looking at the code now I think I can slip in BMP-2 into the mix without too much difficulty. But the old way of handling vehicle choices starts to break down when I add more than two unique types of vehicles. So I think perhaps the best I can do is have a choice between two types of BMDs and two types of BMPs.

    Thank you. Looking forward to the squad size change as well.

    I'm losing count, would that make for thirty seperate titles or forty? I mean after the "German occupation of Guernsey" title?

    I'm not sure which aphorism is more appropriate:

    "There's many a slip twix the cup and the lip"

    or

    "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

    Does this mean that I'll be playing CM games for the rest of my life?

    This game rocks!!!

    True, the Syrians forces melt away quickly when they face US/UK forces but I think this game is a superb attempt to demonstrate the tactical difficulties a commander faces...

    Achieving your goals while trying to keep your forces intact is pretty challenging. (at least for me, darn I suck)

    I guess this isn't your typical war game where you can try to slug it out...

    I bought this game when it came out and I felt it was so, so..... I missed the ww2 settings, the game felt clumsy and buggy....but after the two new moduls it feels solid and now I can't put it down. Darn you Battlefront!

    what kind of a "commander" are YOU?

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Over cautious at first then panic in the final 15 minutes when I'm most of the map away from the objectives, leading to mounted APCs being rushed forward with no covering fire and all my arty falling around the men as they dismount into withering, unsuppressed enemy fire and friendly airbursts before they turn into crosses or exclamation marks around the burning, exploding wrecks of their only way out of there as the heavy armour that could have done them some good is either mercilessly pounding the target I gave them 20 minutes ago or is leading the charge and looking like a electromagnet in a scrapheap as they are ablated down to the chassis.

    Promotion is on the cards I feel.

    Ha, ha, ha........ this put a smile on my face

    Russian module?

    I didn't hear about the Afghanistan game, thank you for the info!

    On the other hand I just sort of wish they would be included in the game.... I know that the game already has most of their(if not all) ground weapons but I haven't played the modern russian army in a good pc game(CMSF) yet. It would be interesting to see them with their full "might". Artillery, air support, russian special forces etc.,etc..

    Not to mention how cool their unit names sound: 4th Guards Tank Divison, 131st Motor Rifle Division.....

    Don't misunderstand me my favorites are the Marines.... Still, a well organized russian mass infantry attack always sounds like fun...

    War Memorial in Rome

    Hi!

    I was furtunate enough to go to Rome recently and of course I was looking for WW2 or some sort of a military museum. I went inside the Vittorio Emanuel monument but I would be interested to see something else as well. Could anybody give me may be some more point of interest?

    Best regards
