I notice that some scenarios are rar files.
I have no experience with using them.
Is Winrar safe to use?
Has anyone ever had any problems with it,
like spyware and such? I got
it from rarlab.com.

Should have done this about 2 posts ago ... it would have saved a lot of hassle - PM me
Lol! Flame war officially over.
Truce.

24 years colour service in the British Army including tours in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, I think is sufficient qualification.
Really? Tell me something-
What's the color of
the boat house at Hereford?

No I don't claim superpowers but the way the question was posed in the first post and your wish to 'mop up' in your second post indicated that you wanted to hunt down every last enemy unit. If I'm wrong then fine I'm not going to get into a urinating competition about it - as you say its a game and if you want to get enjoyment from it in that fashion then fine. There are ways of doing it that have been explained.
For what its worth, the vast majority of insurgents in both Iraq and Afghanistan are not religious zealots intent on wasting their lives recklessly no matter what the various elements of the news media may wish people to believe. Yes these things can and do happen but it doesn't reflect the majority enemy view.
How do you know this?
Do you have first hand knowledge?
Oh,but the information YOU read is true?
That sounds like the mindset of most paranoid
conspiracy theorists."The information I read is true,
but YOUR news sources aren't truth, etc."
Absolute B.S.
I have four friends,who fought in Iraq, two of which
who are still there.
And from what they have told me,most of the insurgents
they're encountering don't even have military training,
and there is no command and control structure.
The military has confiscated countless video recordings
of insurgents being trained in whats know a "flash courses,"
where they are brought into Iraq and met with an inside handler
who gives these groups of men a ten minute intel briefing and
a map with locations of military installations.These men then
get in cars and drive off to die,and they die quick,
because they want to die and because they suck.
If you don't want to enter urinating competitions,
maybe you should consider not pissing
on people.

There may not have been much surrendering in Fallujah but there may have been many evaders. At the end of the day this is down to your style of play - you clearly are an attritionalist and are very competitive. The truth is that your views on realism are skewed towards these tendencies - they are not realistic as you claim.
Clearly you have some sort of "superpower" enabling
you to grasp a person playing style and disposition
all by reading two posts.Amazing.How DO you do that?
Personally I consider myself a maneuverist, who, as a child,
spent long hours listening to my grandfather,an ex-marine,talk about his
experiences in the battle of Iwo Jima,and because of this, I know it is
total B.S. when I see the Syrians in this game surrender with so
many men and tanks on the map.Maybe their regular troops would surrender
with six squads and four tanks in perfect condition,but not
the guys wearing hoods over their heads.
Now if you will excuse me,
I must go watch the news now,a report just came in
from Iraq that six squads of insurgents,composed of religious extremists,
plus five suicide bombers driving trucks rigged with IEDs decided
to stop in their tracks and surrender to the marines
without firing a shot,all
because the marines were able to occupy
some strategic areas.Man what a wacky war, huh?
You never know what's going to happen next.

Do you think we will ever see one made,
preferable written by Mark H. Walker?
Because FM 90-10-1 just isn't doing it for me.
The CMBB guide was excellent.

Exactly,that's what I want.
I want to be able to mop up.It would be cool
to form a special group composed of members
from different units tasked with doing such a thing.
I'm tired of the battle coming to an end with three enemy squads
and two enemy tanks still on the map.Maybe I can tweak their
morale? I don't see it to be very realistic when this
happens, especially with units that are supposed to be religious
fanatics.There wasn't much surrendering in Fallujah.In fact
most of the insurgents came there to fight to the death(most of them were Syrian.)
Another feature I would like, which the the original Combat Missions had was being
able to view an "animated" battlefield(not still)after the battle ended.
There is nothing like looking over the destruction after a battle,tanks burning
etc.Like Patton said,God help me I love it.
Yes I know,I need serious help,but hey, it's just a game.
All an all this game has really shaped up.I
have every add on and I'm totally addicted.

Is there anyway to tweak a scenario
so that it ends only when the last man or vehicle
of the opponent is kill,wounded or destroyed?
(I like long battles)
