  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
