totally agree with the above comments. BFC were the ones who gave the original deadline, if they can't make it then it wouldn't hurt to drop a quick line as way of an update. Its a simple thing to do, and stops negativity towards BFC.
In my opinion it is poor business to behave this way and does not put them in a positive light, which is silly for something that is so easy to rectify. After all their business revolves around paid for upgrades and addons, which you'd think would mean they would want to keep their current customer base happy and informed of developments, to foster intrest in further products.

Perhaps it is poor business but maybe that's one of the things I love about BFC.
BFC is run by creative artists not bean counters thank the Gods. It is a labour of love to them and no doubt they could make a Tonne of dosh working for some giant military contractor instead.
Regarding release dates, given the ever increasing complexity of modern games and BFC's finite resources, I think year quarters would be more appropriate.

Just came across this ASL tutorial video.
Might bring a weary smile to Steve's face!

I just discovered this in FB, which was an issue prior to 4.0 but was patched out. It's back
...
I concur. Only ever saw it in FB and now it has happened in my current v4.0 BN pbem.

You're welcome to show that it is the "incorrect one" any time you wish. If you can not do that, then perhaps it is "the correct" one? I'm sure you think that your way of thinking is "the correct" one. I'm at least confident enough that I'm right that I'm willing to expose my beliefs to criticism and scrutiny. How about you?
Nobody has the last word in this thread until it is locked. Anybody can challenge anything posted here.
Since we're into analogies, does your wife think that your comments serve no purpose and are there just to hear yourself talk?

The best way to get the last word in with my wife is to wait till she has left for work

Thanks Mark for upgrading your scenario once again!
Looking forward to replaying this with the improved enemy AI

It's probably a generational thing but us older dudes value our privacy and can't stand having intrusive programs like STEAM on our clean machines as we don't know what info is being taken from us in order to sell to marketers so that they can send us more spam.
Same reason I don't partake in "anti-social media" where you invite ID thieves and burglars to steal your stuff when you tell everyone about yourself (who the hell cares?) and when you are on vacation etc. I suppose I may be xtreme, but security was always an issue in my world. As I said to Putin last time, "You aint hacking my computer, pal".
Hell, I still have an old flip cell phone as I detest texting and actually like talking to people using full words in the elfish language! It's so degenerate, I know.
+1 Erwin (and I suspect BFC have a similar disposition).
But on the other hand, if the Grim Reaper has us highlighted in his manifest with fluorescent yellow marker, who is going to buy these games in the future?

Only some HQ's and Forward Observers can call in indirect fire. I suggest using the 1st or 4th Platoon HQ to spot for your mortar instead.

I've read good things about Command: Modern Air /Naval Operations and loved Harpoon on my trusty old Amiga!
Sea warfare is a refreshing breeze after getting dirty in that damned bocage etc..

I think Russia needs someone like this...

From page 15 in the Black Sea manual ;

I supported both the first and second invasions of Iraq.
I believed all that baloney about WMD's etc. and felt like a twat afterwards.
The so called 4th Estate let us all down miserably in my humble opinion.
Everyone takes what RT or Fox News says with a huge pinch of salt but even the BBC and The Guardian were pro invasion.
I am and was a great fan of Tony Blair and even though I believe he was acting altruistically, he must bear a large measure of responsibility for the appalling aftermath of the 2nd invasion.

Thanks BFC and beta testers for the patch.
Do you think the below is the planned release order schedule for the CMx2 family?:
Patches for all CMx2 games.
V4.0 updates for all CMx2 games.
New module for CM: Fortress Italy

@Steve - 'Humour' not 'Humor' (and for that matter 'armour' not armor)...

@Steve - I see a parallel of the situation now in the Ukraine and indeed all of the former USSR countries to the beginning of WW2 in Europe. In Sudentan Land and Danzig, ethnic German speakers felt discriminated against by largely nationalist governments. Hitler used this as a pretext to annex/invade both of the countries they were in.
We know some ethnic Russians speakers, stranded in what was once a Federal Union in which Stalin cynically encouraged Russian settlers in Machiavellian plantations, feel aggrieved over issues such as diminished Russian language rights and the dismantling or moving of Soviet WW2 statues and memorials. So perhaps if those host countries addressed those often legitimate grievances, it would make it a lot harder for Russia's new hybrid warfare strategy.
Soft power rather than hard power...

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I am playing @George MC's excellent 'Rolling Thunder' scenario PBEM as the Russian side. I never play quick battles as I prefer playing blind PBEM authored scenarios, judging them to both more realistic and more immersive.
I have knocked out one or two of the Stingers which would obviously mean my opponent has less defence against my Hind Helis if they hadn't been shot down already!
I will rephrase my question which was probably a bit ambiguous.
I always attacked in pairs with the my two Hinds, theorizing the second Hind would be covering the others back from ground threats while the first Hind attacked. And then they would switch around for their next attack run.
Am I kidding myself that pairs or any other soft factors makes any difference in aircraft survivabilty in this game?

Are there any factors besides enemy AA assets that affect ones' aircraft survival?

The T4 West Eindhoven battle is over with a total victory for the Luftwaffe.
Well done @Fizou for a excellent defence and @kohlenklau and others for setting up and running this campaign..
I will try and get some pics uploaded...
(Can anyone tell me if it is possible to upload several picture in to the same post as before?)

A Coy orders' received and understood.

Just noticed that the game turns off shaders after each restart, despite the setting "on" in the "advanced" menu. Too late to get fixed in this patch?
I am having exactly the same problem. Each time I start the the game for the first time, I have to manually hit ALT-R to get the shaders on despite them being 'On' in the 'advanced' menu.

Very Good!
But seriously, I cannot think of a civil war in recent memories where so many great and small powers were involved simultaneously.
My heart goes out to all Syrians.
