^^^ What he said! ^^^

Cheers for the heads up Steve.....It would be great if we could get the old CM:SF (and dare I hope for CM:A) content onto the new engine.

Cool.....I'll tidy it up, sketch out a rough briefing so you know what you are looking at and PM you with a link.

But not quite clever enough.....Thankfully.

Hopefully CM:SF II.

Fairly confident the community will be on the case either way.....I'm genuinely excited to see what we will get to work with (hoping some of the community's suggestions in relation to terrain, uncons and scripting might be taken on board).

All of the above! It's probably easier for me to send you the file (still very much a WIP) than to describe it.....If you are familiar with the CM:SF QB Map 'LJFHuge Rural', that was my starting point. The aim is to create a low-intensity skirmish battle between Al-Shebab and local village militias supported by a gradually increasing number of more professional units. I've been running some tests on it (in the vain hope I might be able to script plausible AI plans for one side or another) so it needs some tidying up right now.

Once again I find myself unable to reply as I'd like to for fear of provoking the anger of the mods.....Suffice it to say that radical Islam had quite a lot of help to get where it is today.

That's a very interesting find.....Cheers.

S-Mines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-mine They were also used as a area-defence weapon on panzers.

However ideas are not static.....The western civilisation of the 21st century is not much like that of the 15th (for which we should all be very, very grateful).

If that were what was happening I wouldn't have an issue at all.....Sadly the reports I've read suggest something else entirely. I won't post links here as the whole thing is really rather [British Understatement]distasteful[/British Understatement]. As I've often been obliged to remark.....Poor bloody Mosul.

I was thinking more of their effects in game, I believe some of the Ukrainian units still rely on the Mk.1 Eyeball, but everything else seems to have NVG across the board. Fascinated to see where you go with this, as I've said elsewhere, the CM engine seems well suited to the Vietnam conflict and it's one that I'd very much like to see covered.

Cool.....Is there any way to disable/remove their night vision gear and such like?

If you have to 'Bail-Out' the crew in the editor, the crew-swap probably won't work (when you start the game the crew will reappear in the vehicle, forcing their replacements to dismount).....However if you can get the crew out with 'Dismount' in the editor the crew-swap should be a goer, based on my experiments elsewhere. FWIW PS - Just had a play in the editor.....It turns out things are not quite as I expected: The bailed out crew did indeed jump back to the M20, but the FO Team was not forced to dismount, rather it was reduced to two men. I just added some artillery to check whether the reduced FO team is functional and it appears that it is.

Absolutely agree with the sentiments above, BfC have never been anything less than brilliant when I've had licensing/software issues. @Battlefront.com (Steve) is probably the best person to contact, he's sorted me out every time.

Those would be S-Mines.....They were fitted to early Tigers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-mine IIRC later versions had the Nahverteidigungswaffe instead: http://www.custermen.net/nahvert/nah.htm

@TheForwardObserver CM:BS Vietnam.....Dude you have to show us more!

'Fury' and the words 'real-thing' are a contradiction in terms.

Physics. Grenades are small contained charges designed to throw fragments of their casings over a wide area, not to demolish structures.

I've got a somewhat different two player H2H only CM:SF scenario that I've been messing around with, I'm a bit stuck with how best to score it given that 'Occupy' objectives don't work for Red.....Your thoughts & insights would be most welcome.

Is there any possibility they could be whopping great Claymore type directional mines do you think.....Keep the head-choppers at a distance even when it goes totally Pete Tong?
