  1. That's a nice one that I will gladly (ab)use in the near future. CHeers!
  2. Well in my country recently (and earlier) I've observed the exact opposite. It is all just anecdotal though, I don't know about any statistical facts and obviously this isn't a true/false thing that goes for all instances. Anyway I should probably digress about the subject since this is not the right forum for it, but I don't think that some form of xenophobic bias regarding Arabs/Muslims etc and terrorism is a myth in our societies.
  3. Lol I was busy trying to formulate something more diplomatic but of similar nature. How can you live with (windows) computers or the internet, when a sudden popup on your screen ruins your day?
  4. Thanks for the .pdf. In your summary you have missed 'illegal state repression', which is mentioned in the .pdf. The .pdf also opens with the statement ''Terrorism is a contested concept", rightly so imo. To get back to the subject and why I agree with Kozlice: irregular forces supportive of the Iranian regime operating inside Iran against military forces of belligerent nations hostile to Iran, are not to be called terrorists. Whatever the tactics they use, be it kamikaze strikes etc. Besides, when a Syrian in The Netherlands cuts down a few people with a knife while under psychosis he's a terrorist. While if depressed Hendrik-Jan guns down a bunch of people at the mall with a semi-auto rifle, he's just a psycho. Find the differences! Anywayz, For the next CM I would like a modern(ish) ERA with Chinese forces simulated. For example a hypothetical invasion of Taiwan, and a chance for US 'vacationers' (among others) to show up.
  5. And we still don't have a date... O wait this isn't this the patch thread ?!
  6. I haven't played in a while but no I can't remember any issues with those. They have to be very close IIRC. Indeed isn't it! ;-) I meant to also imply that that's the only case where a dismounted vehicle's radio 'can be used' at least in my experience, but thought to look it up in the manual and forgot afterwards
  7. Ok, thanks for the lightning quick answer . The sticker must have somehow come off the case after 10 years, I guess. It's funny, currently in the EU there is a new privacy law (GDPR) in effect, lots of people/companies interpreting it's meaning a bit too fundamentally in my opinion and advocating to never store any customer data any second longer than is absolutely strictly necessary. This here, given the service provided, is a very valid reason to store customer records for a long time!
  8. Steve, (or anyone else): how did BF.C store license before 2008? I can find licenses in my BF.C account from June 2008 and onwards. All CMSF module license keys are there, but I don't see the CMSF license or order itself. Now I really can't remember how I bought/ordered CMSF way back then, although I presumed through BF.C or can it be that the license is stored on the CDROM itself? (hope not since I don't have a functioning drive in my pc atm). I do have the original casing, manual and cd-rom (map is lying around somewhere too), but there is no license in there as far as I can see.
  9. In that exception it doesn't have to be crewed AFAIK.
  10. I think this is by design: if a vehicle is in operation it serves as a working c2 node. When the vehicle is dismounted, it is not in operation and therefore not a functioning c2 node. Troops in vehicles can use the vehicle c2 equipment but if they dismount they have to do with what they carry. From the manual: "Exception: On-map support assets including mortars and howitzers can fire indirect even if they are out of command & control and lack a radio, provided that either the spotter is within 50m or the support asset is next to a vehicle equipped with a radio".
  11. Great to hear that CMSF2 is nearing preorders! Can't wait to fire up some of the old campaigns, even if I feel old thinking of when I played those originally. Good fortunes!
  12. Chaos has arrived!!! Now there will never be a patch
  13. Have a good laugh while I see to the needs of the local women.
  14. be careful, it might be a package intended for your avatar deceivingly addressed with your "real name".
  15. Probably, although I'm not sure if your in the same dimension as they are. I guess you skipped an inter-loop and are now a few years ahead of them. Besides, schedules are over-praised imaginations coming from a time-neurosis bound control freak society.
  16. Are you now referring to your avatar or your real me?
  17. Yes there are those types. I have learned, and am still learning, that it is easy for any man to confront every wrong when it occurs to them, a wise man only confronts those that are willing to learn and improve. Of course sometimes confronting the hordes can be amusing. But remember, never go full .....! Anyway I'm looking forward to CMSF2 and whether others also do or not doesn't concern my interests in such a way that I could say I really care.
  18. Innovation is great, but so is CMSF2! I think it's great the original game I bought around 10 years ago will be updated with all the new features introduced since. At least I think it will be great. I'm in the 'don't like playing with current 4.0 AI behavior bug' and the patch is taking relatively unusually long for BFC. Which is a complaint and a compliment at the same time. Also: I don't know whether they are working on a CMx3 title, but I wouldn't mind if they were doing it. Maybe that's what's causing the delay
  19. Or Versailles? We could also go back to the Franco-Prussian war, had France been more competent in that war WWI would probably have never started. But than at the same time, who knows what would have happened in those alternate realities. Without mad Addy (nice name though :)), Stalin might have had some idea's and decide to bring freedom to West and East Europe on his own.
  20. Only if you put it in neutral, normally? At least for manual gearbox vehicles, in my experience you can make sure the engine doesn't shut off automatically as long as you keep it in gear. Anyway as long as you have a working starter motor and enough power in your battery to have it revolve the engine, starting shouldn't be a problem. But then when in any combat/dangerous situation that depends on the mobility of my vehicle, I'd say turning off the engine is just inviting Murphy. I don't know anything about the actual doctrines in use in WWII or more recently though.
