He's going to be quite embarrassed when he grows up and gets it. My nephew is fighting his first CM:BN campaign.....He's picked it up pretty well, but the slow pace of the game means he can only concentrate for so long, which is fair enough for a ten year old TBH.

Cheers dude, TBH I spent last night fixing it (while also conquering Tokugawa Japan).....The main thing I'm hoping to learn from testers is: 'How much of the city did they need to blow up and how many VPs did it cost them for 'Civilian Casualties', if any?' As I designed the scenario my own tests tend to display either pin-point accuracy, or massive overkill.....It's the natural dilemma of self-testing. The version of the scenario that is with @MOS:96B2P and @sburke is painted & pointed identically for 'Civilian Casualties', so their data is still valid and useful to me, despite the other revisions I was forced to make. PS - I should probably add for the benefit of the wider readership (if there is such a thing) that the revisions were made after I realised that a first turn ceasefire scored the player a win (which really won't do in a campaign game), I've fixed that issue and restructured the points to compensate. The values assigned to 'Civilian Casualties' were not effected.

It's a problem that's only going to get worse.....My nephew has already learned how to make basic fake UFO photos in Photoshop, he's ten years old! I must confess to having played a fairly major part in him acquiring that particular skill-set.

So do you want to try it out for yourself yet.....I could really use an AAR to get this wrapped up, balancing out the VPs in this scenario has been quite challenging.

I am absolutely confident those guys are re-enactors.....They can look very convincing:

Nope.....I'm British, not American. What I actually meant was 'titbit'.....Apparently the hyphen is not needed.

It's all there in the first link JK (it appears to contain a big chunk of 'Warriors of God').....Kaplan has his own rather strong opinions (he really liked Abdul Haq it seems), but in this instance I think they are pretty thoroughly borne out by recent events.

You are pretty close there Michael.....The full truth of the matter is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/2ljbdg/chunk_of_armor_torch_cut_out_of_a_tiger_1s/clvcucq/

Wardak was one of the original 'Gucci-Muj': Robert Kaplan Abdul Haq http://www.pakhtunkhwa.pk/sites/default/files/Publications/Soldiers of God With Islamic Warriors in Afghanistan and Pakistan [blackatk].pdf So surprised I am not! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Rahim_Wardak

CTS in action: My respect for these guys grows the more I see of them.

On a brighter note: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/american-aid-worker-david-eubank-isis-snipers-save-little-girl-mosul/ Go Dave (& family)!

It seems the bent-minaret of the Al-Nouri Mosque is no more: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/21/mosuls-grand-al-nouri-mosque-blown-up-by-isis-fighters Poor Mosul.

Here's a dog that can really jump: I love bull-breeds, they're so stubborn that even gravity has to back down!

Really classy stuff.

Something about that image screams re-enactors/actors to me.....The focus is just too crisp.

Nor me.....Another tit-bit filed away.

I really do like tanks quite a lot.

Not just fake but sadly fake! I'd be willing to bet I can find the original image with some Google-Fu: And I win the bet, with just under 20 seconds effort.....I typed "Abandoned KV-2" into search and selected the images tab.

That's not bad going for a regular AP round!

Says who? It hasn't been tested in action yet, but apparently it soon will be.....I look forward to seeing the outcome. It's quite remarkable how head-choppers keep finding brand new US made weapons lying around in a country that traditionally uses ex-Soviet stuff isn't it.....Must be kind of embarrassing for the US really.

Seriously? Dude, you should buy it.....While the basic game is a little bit dated, it's still dead good fun and with all the Modules it's an outstanding game. In many ways CM:A is even better. FWIW PS - I'd really like to see the Russians playing a big role in CM:SF II.

Here we go again.

I think it's more or less there TBH.....There's only so much I can do with the civilian casualties, just waiting to see another AAR before signing off on it.

Try and elevate the gun on a tank like that. Urban assault vehicles of this type will soon start to proliferate, count on it.

That's a very neat idea.....Presumably you can flick the editor into Red vs. Red/Blue vs. Blue and add the correct weapon types for the side that's supposed to be doing the shelling (as opposed to the one that actualy is).
