The newest joy out of the Middle Kingdom...the Flu
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Attilaforfun's topic in General Discussion Forum
Dude, the disease affects roughly 0.000326% of the Chinese population and people are calling it a pandemic.....It's utter bollocks, just like SARS, Sharia dominated no go zones, The Steele Dossier, chemical attacks on Douma, The Deal Of The Century and a host of other BS that the MSM keep ramming down our throats in the hope that while we are choking on it, we won't notice that their lords & masters are robbing us blind. Apologies if this is too political, but really.....FFS! -
I'm enjoying a blast from the past, re-reading the 'Charley's War' comics, formerly of 'Battle' (a weekly UK comic book).....Probably forty plus years since my last read through, enjoying every moment and also appreciating the subtlety with which the authors & artists conveyed historical information of importance (I also enjoyed some of the period artwork errors, ones that only an old school modeller can truly appreciate).

Somewhat Buyers Remorse...

Me too, give or take.....In more or less the same period I've done nearly £20k on my modelling hobby. -

Coronavirus in China, Infected: 4520, Fatalities: 106. Population of China: 1386000000 You do the math. -
Recent presentation about Nozh ERA
Sgt.Squarehead replied to exsonic01's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
Again.....I agree. As mentioned elsewhere a few of us are experimenting with small forces on big maps.....This seems to get the most out of the CM:BS engine. -
Recent presentation about Nozh ERA
Sgt.Squarehead replied to exsonic01's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
I have to agreee.....Quite how it would be implemented I'm not sure, but IMHO it deserves some thought (I wondered if FASCAM could be modelled by setting mines as reinforcements, but the game engine won't have it). -

The sheer value for money is staggering when you think just how many hours of gaming you can get from these titles, especially if you are not afraid to dive into the editor and have a go at creating your own content ('The Game Within The Game', as it's known to many). -

& Afghanistan. Just buy the lot.....We all do in the end. -

CM:BN is the only game more developed than CM:SF2, but it also has a few issues right now.....Some of the user created content from older iterations of the game does not seem to behave at all well with newer patches. Further there is the now notorious 'Bocage-Bug', which is driving several long time CM:BN players, including me, nuts! The grass is always greener, as they say.....On the subject of which, once 'Heaven & Earth' is released you will get another full CM:SF2 game for free (I recommend a seperate install, it really is that different). -
Purchase Option: Download + Manual
Sgt.Squarehead replied to MercilessFir's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
That seems like a very sensible plan.....CM:BS is currently very limited scope compared to CM:SF2, but the lethality's been turned up to 11! PS - Don't forget CM:A.....It's old and it's a bit quirky, but it's also a full game at a very cheap price and it has a fourteen year timeframe! -

That is a great video. -
Almost completely different.....Most obviously BMPs are replaced by BMD & BTR-D airborne vehicles: BMD-1 BMD-2: BMD-3 BMD-4 BMD-4M BTR-D BTR-MD BTR-MDM But there are loads of other differences and unique units such as Sprut SD: @Haiduk Am I correct in my recollection that the Ukrainian Airborne still use the 2B9 Vasilek auto-mortar?

New Module coming For Blitzkrieg

I'm hoping one of the Mod Wizards might make us some gliders to replace those goddam trucks! -
Heaven & Earth: Project discussion thread
Sgt.Squarehead replied to 37mm's topic in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods
I thought you might approve, it's a (slightly cheaty) screenshot from 'Invasion'.....All very experimental at the moment, basically it's a variant of the Delta map, with a military base & maximum security prison located in the central 'for scenario designer use' area. You can probably figure the rest out already. It'll be quite a long one, I'm aiming for three hours or more, broken into several distinct phases.....Initially the Scout/Sniper & Recon Platoons will be prowling about attempting to make contact with the Wai-Bong resistance (who can be very useful as they are Combatants and the population density is medium). -

Is it possible you are confusing it with either the four 'Op Linnet' or two 'Drop Zone Charlie' scenarios? -
