    Yes please ! smile.gif You get the real Syrian TOE plus cool stuff that they don't have, sounds like a good deal to me !

    There is no Campaign Editor for CM:SF at all. Not even for us. We're going with text files, so the plan is to document how they are assembled and allow people to make their own.
    Nice ! So people can make their own campaings, something that's been missing from CMx1... :eek:

    This is getting better and better ! :D

    I wanna preorder already !

    Finalizing CM:SF's Setting

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    I would like #2 because of these various reasons :

    I don't find the story or background for the game itself to be very interesting. With the scenario/operation briefings you get the info you need, IMO. How would I explain this... OK, for a RTS-type of game, which has campaigns that people mostly play, the background is important. You want to have the epic story of a good VS evil fight.

    In Combat Mission, you mostly play single scenarios, not campaigns. The storyline isn't important. For my own part I'd settle for a page or two introduction in the manual that I'd read through once or twice before starting to learn what's different in CMx2.

    The storyline doesn't matter. The scenarios, the way the game plays etc matter more.

    If you go the route #2, the fictional one, you are free to add all sorts of stuff later on. This is something that started to interest me. You could add things that are not in the Syrian inventory. BMP-3, T-80, T-90, British stuff, German stuff, other Russian stuff, Chinese stuff etc. Whatever you fancy.

    You know this is what we, the players want. We want to fiddle with as many toys as possible. ;) If you're not planning to create another contemporary game from ground up within the next 5 years, having a fictional setting would atleast allow you to have a flexible base from which to add new stuff/modules. I'm sure that would hold an interest to more and more people, there aren't a lot of proper contemporary tactical wargames around.

    And, with a larger base of equipment to choose from, the users are able to create a variety of scenarios... Say, Taiwan (US kit VS Chinese kit), Chechnya (Russian kit VS rebels/insurgents), fictional Fulda Gap (US kit VS Russian kit) etc... There are lots of possibilities.

    With a strictly Syrian setting you would only be restricted to what Syria has. OK, if you add a Marine module or so, but the more interest atleast for me lays in getting more and interesting equipment for the red side. New OPFOR equipment would also allow for a more variety of scenarios. Adding just Marines wouldn't do much.

    I hope I made any sense here. :D

    Rhett Akins - Kiss My Country Ass

    Tearin' down a dirt road, rebel flag flyin',

    'Coon dog in the back.

    Truck bed loaded down with beer,

    An' a cold one in my lap.

    Earnhart sticker behind my head,

    An' my woman by my side.

    Tail-pipe's poppin', the radio's rockin':

    "Country Boy Can Survive".

    Well, if you got a problem with that,

    You can kiss my country ass.

    Well, I love Turkey calls, overalls,

    Wrangler jeans: smoke nothin' but Marlboro reds.

    Tattoos up an' down my arms,

    An' deer heads over my bed.

    My Grand-Daddy fought in World War Two,

    An' my Daddy went to Vietnam.

    An' I ain't scared to grab my gun,

    An' fight for my homeland.

    If you don't love the American flag,

    You can kiss my country ass.

    If you're a down home, backwoods redneck,

    C'mon, stand up an' raise your glass.

    But if you ain't down with my outlaw crowd,

    You can kiss my country ass.

    Inbstrumental break.

    Well, there's a whole lotta high-class people out there,

    That's lookin' down on me.

    'Cause the country club where I belong,

    Is the Honky Tonk till three in the mornin'.

    Don't wear no fancy clothes,

    No ties or three-piece suits.

    You can find me in my camouflage hat,

    My tee-shirt an' cowboy boots.

    If that don't fit your social class,

    You can kiss my country ass.

    If you're a down home, backwoods redneck,

    Hey, c'mon, stand up an' raise your glass.

    But if you ain't down with my outlaw crowd,

    You can kiss my country ass.

    'Cause I'm a front-porch sittin',

    Guitar pickin', moonshine sippin',

    Bacca juice spittin' country boy from the woods.

    An' I love fried chicken an' blue gill fishin',

    An' outlaw women, an' I wouldn't change if I could.

    I ain't tryin' to start no fight, but I'll finish one every time.

    So you just mind your own damn business,

    And stay the hell outta mine.

    If you got a problem with that,

    You can kiss my country ass.

    I said if you got a problem with any of that,

    You can kiss my natural born,

    Redneck to the bone,

    Ever-lovin' country ass.

    YEEHAW, BITCH !!!

    Steve,

    These are grogs you're talking about. They are bound to complain, no matter what.

    For my own part I'd like to say that Combat Mission is easily the best tactical wargame there is ! And I expect CM:SF to improve even further.

    If people aren't happy with that, there's always options (not free, mind), Panzer Command : Operation Winter Storm ! :rolleyes::D

    That dinner parties -bit sounds nice, if it didn't include you.

    I used the wording "fear" just to exaggarate, but heck, maybe you really do fear the Euro-weenie way of doing things.

    I heard from a reliable source that they are conspiring to take over the US from Republicans, and turning everything into an equal, caring, nobody's-left-behind kind of society. They are going to rip especially white, middle-aged, poo-smelling, overweight males of their excess wealth.

    You'd better lock'n'load, for they are coming to take your money !
