  1. The baltics and Poland are spazzing out over a Russia that has radically shrunk its military and shows little interest in expansion. NATO has drawn up a token plan to calm them down. This is not a new cold war.
  2. For all of yous that wanted to keep going after a loss, that alternate version is up in the repos. It's Rolling Lords of War Alt 1.
  3. CAS does not show up immediately. Rather there is a short (5 min) delay to simulate the relaying of information to the FAC, allowing time for the air support to be assigned to the platoon.
  4. You've got some interesting ideas, but as for this, You can already do this, just click on the floor in question. This includes rooftops.
  5. Alternate names for this campaign include "Beep beep I'm not a jeep", WIDE LOAD and Kings of the Road. The mission maps are all based on real-world locations, and were made with the rather extensive help of Google Earth. edit: Forgot to mention that we also had a little help from JonS and Steve, who helped us choose the rough geographic area of the campaign. Enjoy!
  6. Given the slim premise of CM:SF I would totally be up for a Bear and the Dragon or Dragon and Elephant game. Of course, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Balkan games would be nice. Maybe a game about the In/Pak conflicts of 71.
  7. I'm having a strange issue with scenarios that I write not being visible in the explorer. I'm using 64 bit Windows Vista, which may be the source of the problem. I can see the scenarios in the scenario editor and in the battle list, which makes this all the more perplexing. I can also see scenarios sent to me by friends etc. It is all very bizarre.
  8. In the fine tradition of being offered an inch and taking a mile, when are we going to see a CM:SF 2 bone? Come on, Battlefront. Don't make me whine! You'll regret it! Back on topic, I've never really had much of an interest in German kit, hopefully this module will change that. On the off chance that it doesn't, of course, I can always hope that someone mods in the Spanish.
  9. To be honest I'd be happy to see a 'burning wreckage' artillery model (AAA included) just to add a bit of atmosphere
  10. According to Jane's the Syrian Army has 'sought to enhance its armoured forces by acquiring the T-80 from The Russian Federation, but there is no confirmation of an actual delivery.' The wikipedia article seems to be based on wishful thinking.
  11. I vastly prefer real time to turn based, not only because of the amount of control it gives but also because of the immersion value and the fact that I do a lot of my planning 'on the fly'.
  12. I'm not Steve (thankfully! ) but I can tell you that while Hanson is an admirable classicist, when he goes beyond that era he is way off the mark, especially with his ideas that the 'Western Way of War' is somehow more deadly than the 'Eastern Way', and has some kind of immutable attributes that are continuously visible throughout history (or maybe just some very cherry-picked examples). And Steve, While I agree a degree of individual freedom is important, it is worth noting that some of the forces most repressive against the individual, like the German army in WWI and Alexander the Great's Macedonians, have very good track records. Admittedly, neither of these are 100% against the individual, but I don't think you can find a historical example that was.
