Doesn't sound that bad, at least you'd get some roast rabbit when the line is busy.

I loved his voice. He was an endless well of movie trivia.
 
You do know Emrys is gonna come in here and tell you how when he was a kid they'd take a blanket out to the fire pit and wave it through the smoke. One puff meant a dial tone, two meant the other fire was busy cooking a rabbit.
 
Mord.

Good to know! I'll give that a try the next time I get a chance to work on the SLA.
@mjkerner those skins look great! I especially like the tiger stripe one.
As far as additional Syrian army skins go, I have a few that I've been playing around with for a while now. I tend to like the idea of creating skins that represent generic OpForces as I am much more interested in force on force conventional fighting than I am in insurgencies. Heres one of the skins I'm pretty fond of:

Thanks Cpt. Miller!  I had checked out sbobovyc's thread but like you, I'm just not that experienced to want to even attempt to tackle 3D models.
@Rokossovski:  I'm working on texture mods for Syrians, among others.  Here are some screen shots of preliminary (that is, slapped together very quickly, lol) tests of some camo for African troops. I have a lot of camo patterns I'm planning for various nations/rebels/etc., and there will be some specifically for Syrians.  But the skins are separate from the uniforms, so they could all be used for Syrians.  With Cpt. Miller's mods and I'm sure a lot of other modders, you should have plenty to choose from! 

 

 

Hope your buddy will recover in good order!
I think it is absolutely normal to question relative importance of stuff and be conscious about (not) getting worked up about trivial things. Not only when one has managed to reach your respectable age 😀

BTW: 'Tempest in a Teapot' sounds like a great name for a fictional CMSF2 scenario! 'A British convoy supplying tea and new pots for the BN CO and HQ company has been ambushed by irregular forces. Lance Corporal Brian is ordered to lead a QRF to recapture these vital supplies and bring them to BN HQ before noon. The success of the ongoing operation is in your hands.' 😜

I hear that.  Not sure if it is getting older or just some things I am picking up lately about relative importance of stuff.  My best buddy at work was getting set to retire and just before Christmas he fell off a ladder at home and suffered a severe head injury.  He is recovering but it has been touch and go.  Griping about DRMs and what naming convention someone uses just isn't anywhere on my priority list.

nah there are a few threads like this but there is far more that is fun, interesting and sometimes just down right amusing.  Don't let the few instances where folks just can't seem to let something like this go set the tenor for everything.  A lot of us would be really disappointed to see you not here.  Besides deleting your account won't stop you from visiting.  For myself I am just trying to be more particular to what I reply to and how.  All of the responses to the tempest only add to it.  The guy was answered.  Steve saw it, replied and took some action.  It's done.  Go post some screenshots!  

IIRC, the previous web site had a tab that was simply labeled "Patches." When you accessed if, you saw the base game, followed by the subsequent patches by version number. You clicked on the patch you wanted. In this case, you saw CMSF2 V 2.00. If you clicked on that version, you saw "CMSF2 V 2.0.1 and the updated campaign. Personally, I don't really see how the two numbering systems are so different or difficult to understand without hand holding. Talk about "A Tempest in a Teapot!"

Have posted another update of this scenario, with changelog on the file page.

I always thought the family of vehicles looks cool. I think your correct that it can also perfectly serve as a troop carrier, especially the larger and armored Viking variant. Picture of it in use with the NL Marines.

I'm amazed to see the old 'Curse of the MGS Stryker' is back.
My MGS crewmen should just quit.

A video of the first turn from the bloody strongpoint.
 

Some more Daraya Tank Raid images. I've toned down the use of the sewer 'stream' as it bogged the AFVs too much.

Tried out the CMRT Winter mods. I thought I might use them for winter fighting in Afghanistan. Two samples below.
