    Avenger AA unit.

    The Warrior,

     

    Frankly, I don't understand why they aren't already in the game, considering they occupy something akin to the niche of an SA-13, already in the game, with a  .50 MG thrown in as an afterthought. The SA-13's radar doesn't find the target or track it, it only ranges it and computes lead for crossing targets. The Avenger has no radar at all (can receive and engage targeting data from assets which do), but it does have, in addition to Eyeball, MARK 1, MOD 0, a FLIR and a LRF. The Ma Deuce is of the fast firing M3 aircraft type (950-1200 rds/min). Avenger can also fire on the move.

    Future Combat Mission games

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I'd be all over a Philippines 1944 game.  It's one of the places in the pacific where there was enough room for larger actions, urban fighting, armored warfare, paratrooper assaults and all sorts of goodness.  You'd be able to use US forces that broadly look like Normandy with a few quirks, but the Japanese would present a very different military force, and throwing in the various irregular factions could make for some really awesome missions.

     

    Korea 1950 would be awesome too.  Light on the AFVs, but some really awesome stuff to work with in terms of scenarios.

     

    Also a good late 80's Fulda gap would be mindblowing.  I'm partial to 1989 because it seems best positioned to offer very late cold war equipment (M1A1HAs, T-80Us, etc), while not getting into weird alternate history stuff, and still being reasonable to see a lot of the cold war standbys (and bypassing the "EVERYTHING IS NUCLEAR" phase of NATO).  

     

    In terms of near future:

     

    1. Korea. The DPRK is less likely to be a threat these days, but it could be fluffed a bit and the PLA might make a good inclusion.

    2. Iran/Egypt.  We're running out of conventional threats in the middle east, and CM does COIN pretty good...but ISIS just is not going to let us do the tank on tank, company sized elements of troops that CM does very well.  Iran after a turn for the worse offers something similar to what Syria used to have in CMSF.  Egypt could be fascinating if we assume the current government crumbles and the Islamic Brotherhood comes back for reals.   On the other hand, just having a general purpose "middle east" game that modules in more than just Bluforce for the theater from the base game could be cool (so base game is US Army and Iran, Module 1 is Egypt and Israel, Module 2 is British Army and Syria/ISIS or something).

    I like your near future idea.  It will most likely never happen because no one wants to touch the IDF because a few people will get their patties in a bunch.
