CMBS2 on Steam with a huge 30% discount until the 1 December! 50% for the full Monty! I never thought I would have seen such a thing during my life. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1369370/Combat_Mission_Shock_Force_2/

Yup. 30% discounts are uncommon. You've just to wait.

At the moment I'm just warming up. I've played scenario 1 and part of the 2 and I'm enjoying it. Oh, be advised that it seems there isn't a manual. You have to follow the tutorial.

Good evening gents. I have found and bought recently on steam this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/871530/Radio_Commander/ The action take place in Vietnam and the player has only a radio and a map. I don't know if I could call it realistic but for sure it has a fresh approach. Anybody else has this game? Your opinion? Sandokan

I think demo charges can set off AT mines. It happened to me in "School of the hard knocks". The result was a huge crater and a KIA and a WIA among the engineers. Maybe there was't a warning sign after the explosion because there weren't other mines. But this is just my guessing.

Jeez, I hoped to be first.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

Health is the most important thing. Don't worry about the games. As JulianJ said, we'll still be here when you'll feel ok.

Good morning everybody! After years and years of battling with the Combat Mission AI I finally decided to plunge into the wider pool of the Play by Email against real people. But, there are a few buts. First thing first, I have never, ever played a game through e-mail. More precisely, last time I played by mail, it was sending a real letter every week to my opponent. The game was Squad Leader and the time the Year of the Lord 1988 or ‘89. So, here is what I need. An experienced, and patient too, player willing to explain me the ins and outs of the business. Ah, if it is possible I’d prefer to play as Ukrainian or US. Ukrainian first. Up to now the UKR campaign is the only I’ve managed to complete. What I have. CMBS 4.10, obviously, an email address and Dropbox, if necessary. What I can offer. I could begin with 3 turns a week. Then, if things work properly, ramp up the figure. Moreover, I am not the kind of guy who disappear when things in the scenario start going south. Fair and square fight until the end! Well, anybody out there?

This one was during the third scenario of the US Army campaign, "Ash Shammas", and demostrate that Sirian SF are seriously tough. 1. A 500kg air bomb scores a direct hit on its target. 2. A few second later from the smoldering ruins pop up this guy, running head over heels amid a hail of cal '50 bullets, courtesy of the US Army, and manage to disappear unscathed. I say, respect! BTW. The pictures are on the smallish side because I had only 0,09 MB available. How come?

Ops!

True, unfortunately.

Ok, this time I double checked before publishing. It do is a M7 Priest. I stumbled into this vehicle last week at Baldassarre Barracks, home of the 132° arty rgt. It seems still quite in good shape judging by its tracks and other things.

I think that, with a bit of luck, the mission can be completed successfully crossing the berm with the infantry only without vehicles. The difference of firepower is huge.

I'm not knowledgeable about clearing mines in RL, so I could be wrong but, if engineers clear an area with AT mines shouldn't they create a safe path large enough for a vehicle?

Got it, thanks.

I cannot access to the second link. "cert_authority-invalid". Anybody else with the same problem?

Alamo. Some real close combat.

The scenario is one from the demo.

I know that with BFC a thing is ready when is ready, not a moment before. So I'm not here to complain and, anyway, I'm pretty busy enjoying the demo but, I also think it's high time to change this line "The obvious question out there is "when will CMSF2 ship?" We're aiming for no later than the end of September." ion the main page. It could be misleading for people checking the site only every now and then.

On the same subject, there is this in the first two thirds of this week Esercito News (Army News). Eh, italian only, for what I can understand. Sorry guys.

Blue force, attacker.

Morning guys, once, somebody in this forum said that when you play the same scenario for the third time you should be as good as Patton. Well, this Patton completed the Rolling thunder scenario yesterday for the third time scoring a minor defeat. Which is, anyway, better than the two previous total defeats. This apart, is one of the more entertaining scenario I've ever played. The fact is in the demo is a kind of bonus, I say. So, for everybody who hasn't still tried the this demo, download it now! You wont regret it. Ps. I publish this here because I presume people checking the CMBS forum knows this already. PPS. Guys like me, used with CMSF, beware! CMBS batttle environment is a lot deadlier.

I'm 56 but I don't feel old at all. Especially considering I can't retire before 67. Presuming legislation isn't changed again in the meanwhile ... BTW, I was wondering if among us forumites there is some Vietnam vet. After all it is that unlikely.
