Ever heard of a T26E4 "Super Pershing"?
Sgt.Squarehead replied to IronCat60's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Not sure about that.....There is a periscope in the commanders hatch: Can't find a suitable picture of the real thing.....Will check Hunnicutt later, but I don't recall there being that many pictures of the T-26E4. PS - I've been meaning to buy the Modelltrans Modellbau T26E4 conversion for the Trumpeter 1/72 kit, checking this out seems like a pretty good excuse. -

Insurgent forces fight their way along Market Street: A heroic rebel technical crew ambushes regime armour: I wasn't joking about them being heroic, they took out two tanks and an infantry team single-handed at a rather critical moment.....What a fight! -

While researching for the above kit, I discovered this: That's one seriously rugged tractor! -

Allegedly the Russians had specialised 'Swearing Battalions' made up of ex-convicts & deserters. -

Question about Fire?

OK, got it now.....I like fire too, but one thread is plenty. -

I miss it too FWIW.....The fun you could have with a KV-8 in a giant cornfield is almost unmatched! -
John Kettler's Omnibus Post

Knock yourself out: http://beutepanzer.ru/ EDIT - It's a tricky site to navigate at first, so here's the Polish stuff: http://beutepanzer.ru/Beutepanzer/poland/poland.html -
Amazing pic archive of the war
Sgt.Squarehead replied to SchnelleMeyer's topic in Combat Mission Afghanistan
Nice find, I was very pleased to discover this image: I've just picked up a 1/72 BMP-2 'Afghani'. This one's interesting too: I knew they had them, but that's the first time I've seen one photographed that I recall. -
Muzzle flashes can be very controversial around here.

New Scenario: Coup D'etat
Sgt.Squarehead replied to MOS:96B2P's topic in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods
There's an internal door on the lower (& often upper level), the units are on a Hide Order at a guess, unless otherwise triggered, so they won't bother you, if you don't bother them.....Some of the player's units are Uncons, so it's quite possible to wind up sharing the building** with these guys without either party ever being aware of the other. Once the shooting starts that all changes.....Dramatically! ** in some cases you can even wind up sharing the same room.....Briefly! -
recon data from helicopter strikes

That's that sorted out then, cheers Ian. -
I have a coup to run.

Russian army under equipped?
Sgt.Squarehead replied to lordhedgwich's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
I dunno, but I can do the red one already: Sweet (but not inexpensive) kit.....Gonna build mine towing something heavy out of the Rasputitsa. -
recon data from helicopter strikes
Sgt.Squarehead replied to SlowMotion's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
I think I've had contacts reported by aircraft in CM:A, CM:SF & CM:BS.....Never methodically tested it though. FWIW, I could be wrong (& often am). -
Played this recently, it's great fun as either side.....Highly recommended.

New Scenario: Coup D'etat
Sgt.Squarehead replied to MOS:96B2P's topic in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods
It's an immensely intricate scenario in which the player has almost as much choice in framing the individual battles as the designer does.....Consequently balancing the whole thing and making all the possible variations challenging without being overpowering can be tricky.....I'm in one of those situations right now. This one will be worth the wait, even more so than TOC, take my word for it. -
Part of me would love the game to be opened up to some new tech.....I'd love to see the Turkish Altay, Chinese Type 99A2 etc. But where does one stop? Lets be honest about 30% of the tanks or tank options already in the game are ficticious in the 'historical' timescale.

There were probably more T-14 Armatas in existence in 2017 than 30mm armed Strykers.....Be careful what you wish for.

The 'Never Say You've Seen It All' Thread

Those must be some minging models to live with.....Your display cabinets would stink of fish! -
Can they time-travel? If not it probably ain't gonna happen.
