    I'm messing around with a LNA core file at the moment; 50+ Toyotas & Technicals, 5 T-62 tanks and about a couple of companies worth of men:

    Their C3 structure is rather complex (borderline tribal even)! 
    These are the guys who will be trying to take Bishr:

    Don't worry, that's an old picture, it looks a bit sexier these days!

    Maybe you can throw that at your stakeholders to motivate them in completion of the daily chores.

    No he has not.  However, he apparently discovered a word processing program with a robust thesaurus.

    This is where careful coordination of the briefing and visual clues on the map come in.
    Not all players will pick up on it, but some do.....'Them's the breaks!' as they say. 
    Once you start pulling things apart in the editor, all bets are off.....You seem to expect miracles?

    Sgt.Squarehead got a reaction from MOS:96B2P in UNCONS - Bugs?? / Improvements   
    Gary, it looks like you aren't scared of the editor, so why not experiment with mixing forces from different TOEs?
    For instance you can easily give Uncons 122mm Grad MRLs, 122mm Howitzers & so on simply by choosing them from the Syrian Army lists, in game they are effectively just artillery SFX after all, you don't ever see them.
    While you do see Fortifications, they are only identified by side or by what's in 'em.....So just chuck Uncon teams in your bunkers and Bob's yer uncle.
    Similarly you can add tanks or other vehicles from the Syrian Army lists to your Uncon force, if you choose them from the Armour list they will be displayed with suitable head gear on your control panel (even ISIS wore tank helmets, unless they wanted a few stitches as a souvenir of their tank ride).
    With some messing about and editor trickery you can make all sorts of things:

    Allahu Ackbar! etc. 
    You really won't find the full power of CM in QB mode.....The game editor is king.

    Well I only fired up Shock Force but I have no reason to think anything would be different in other games.

    What do you think is wrong with it?   
    That scheme's pretty well known and documented.....Here's a period image of a tank from the same company:

    I'd say they did a pretty fine job (forgot to idiot-proof their schurzen though).

    Ahhhh.....Smokescreens! 
    If there were one tweak I would bite your arm off for right now it would be the ability to assign a turn number (or even better a start and end time) to the AI Targets list.....God what a difference that would make! 
    Please, please @Battlefront.com, if it's possible, make it happen!

    Yes, yes, yes...give it to me !!!! 😁
    This is something i would really like also...some kind of timer...
    Do this for XX minutes...wait at this waypoint for XX minutes...the gameclock and triggers that we have now don't allow for this since there is no way of knowing excatelly when each AI order will be carried out as far as the gameclock goes...a certain AI order may be triggered at min 23 or at min 31 for example...the usefullnes of the gameclock as a timer is therefore limited...
    I agree with the sgt...please BFC...give us a timer...

    Sgt.Squarehead reacted to ncc1701e in AI triggers - Thanks a lot guys!   
    All right, I am late. Starting scenario design on CMSF1 and finishing it on CMSF2.
    But, the AI trigger is just a brilliant addition. Playing with it right now and it is adding much more possibilities. Thanks! Just thanks!
    Next, I begin to understand why people wants:
    more AI groups - 32 instead of 16 (to allow more flexibility) more Terrain objectives - 30 instead of 15 (to add more triggers) Cheers

    Either point him to a post describing board etiquette, or assume he's still relatively new, at 12 posts, and let it pass.
    Or, you can do what you did which is  less welcoming, helpful, or instructive.

    Sgt.Squarehead reacted to evilman222 in Separatist push/Ukraine shove back   
    Russia definitely has ulterior motives in Ukraine. The Donbass has been so extensive that rebuilding/integrating it into Russia would be a huge economic drain on Russia. If they really wanted to "protect" Russians in other post-soviet states, they would commit enough troops to the intervention to easily steamroll the Ukrainian military, "liberating" any regions with a significant Russian population. Let's face it, the west wouldn't do much to stop it  
    In all likelihood, Russia is just trying to keep Ukraine from joining NATO or the EU. Although both have been open to adding Ukraine to their respective blocs in the past, neither would consider adding s country in the middle of a full-blown war. Keeping NATO away from their borders has been one of their main geopolitical priorities during the 21st century.
