This is actually my preferred choice for MP battles, but it is really missing the ability to rewind the action, as you can in SP. I would be so glad if that ability would be added!!

Same problem here. Game crashes after about an hour of gameplay or so. I have this problem since I swapped my Radeon for a Nvidia RTX 2080...

The german Gebirgsjäger only use it for operations in very difficult terrain (usally snow). I doubt it would be used in Syria. They would rather use the Fuchs (or the GTK Boxer nowadays) in that environment. Afaik it has not been used in any combat operation by the Bundeswehr, but the British Royal Marines have used it quite a lot in Afghanistan, even in combat.

Yes, either August or September.

This match was really fun to follow (on both sides) and taught me one or two things as well. Well done! 👍 Any chance for a rematch between you two?

I wonder why? The comms link is up, so information should get passed along?

Poor Bill. No Mercy for him

Same here. Paradox-version with all 3 modules.

As well as the MAN gl series, ranging from 5t to 15t: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAN_KAT1

Thanks, I have indeed never really noticed that! I really enjoy your AARs btw, they are well made and great fun to follow!

Did I understand that correctly, the stock sound icons do differ between tanks and armored vehicles? If so, then they are indeed damned hard to decipher as I've never noticed such a difference.

Aren't these custom icons some kind of cheating as they give you an unfair advantage by giving you more information than the game is supposed to give you (e.g. specifying if a sound contact is a tank or light armor)?

The german Tigers were not ready in 2008 as we were behind the french in achieving combat ready status for our Tigers.

That is an unfair assessement of the Bo105 PAH, which is a dedicated anti tank helicopter that is only beeing used in that specific role!

The PzFst3 is unguided in that sense that its projectile is not guided on its way to its target, unlike ATGMs. Besides that, the laser equipped PzFst3 is a special variant of the PzFst3 and is VERY rare in german service. I've never actually seen one myself. Are the germans in CMSF2 really equipped with that variant? The standard PzFst3 (without a laser range finder) is still pretty accurate to ranges of up to 400m. I'm speaking from personal experience here 😉

Which is all what was needed. Getting some intel about what is going on from time to time about what's going on is all I can ask for, so thank you very much for this thread and the new forum. I really appreciate that, because it helps a lot with waiting, if you have at least some idea of what is actually happening or going to happen. So again, thank you!

This! If you don't want to expand your business in any way, for the reasons mentioned, then it would be really great if you could give us some small updated on how what's beeing done once a month or so. That would make it much easier for (some of) us to keep the patience and not start threads like this

We here in germany still put much emphasis on camoing our combat vehicles. Recent pics from our Panzergrenadiers deployed to Lithuania:

I don't know about the syrians or the dutch, but germans have dedicated platoon HQ teams (the so called "Zugtrupp"). That, AFAIK, applies to all formations in the german armed forces. So that was pretty much correctly done in CMSF1 IIRC (haven't played SF in a while). Anyways, I'm really looking forward to SF2!

I would either go with Black Sea altough it is quiet limited in scope so far or wait for Shock Force 2, because the current Shock Force (which takes place in Syria, not Afghanistan as Sgt.Squarehead already mentioned) is pretty outdated IMHO. It didn't recieve the engine upgrades that the other current CM games recieved.

@cool breeze Alright, I missunderstood what you meant then. I thought draft = conscription, but as I just learned it's not But now that makes me wonder: Who is planning to draft women? I know conscription for women is a topic, at least in some countries, but I've never seen debates about women beeing drafted?

Now you're beeing sarcastic. If you like to discuss this matter in a serious way I would request you to keep it serious. On subject: We in the western world strive towards equality between men and women, in accordance with human rights. Drafting not just men, but also women is just a logical step as with the opening of the military for women there is no real reason why they should not be drafted as well. The time where men and women had different roles (work/household) are a thing of the past in most parts of Europe and North America. So, enough of the theory, let's look at so

Combat Mission: Fulda Gap 85' would indeed be a dream comming true. I hope it will happen at some point.

Looks like the Trump-Administration stands with Ukraine. The newly appointed US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who is also a member of Trumps National Security Council has now criticized Russia for what is happening in Ukraine and said that the sanctions against russia will stay in place.

I would buy almost any (european) national forces pack, even a Luxembourg forces pack
