  1. 21st October? That is Trafalgar day - the anniverary on Nelson's Trumph over the combined French and Spanish fleets - a victory that ultimately set the seal on Bonaparte's fate. No god would destroy the world on such a day.

    Wait, I didnt quite get that. could you explain it again?

  2. What was the highest level of command that jumped in with the airborne infantry platoons during the invasion? Did battalion commanders jump in along with their battalion or arrive some other way later on?

    as far as I am aware of Batallion commanders did jump with there troops in the first waves.

    an example im currently studying, the 502 PIR, the 3 batallion commanders (Cassidy, *cant remember the name, and Cole) where on the ground early on. I dont know when the 101st CO (Taylor?) landed but he was there too, dont know if he landed via glider later on.

  3. Say i import core units in a first campaign mission, and I change the name of one of the leaders.

    First, so the core units go on do I have to import them from the previous scenario or an I import them from another "base" (not used) scenario?

    if so, if I change the name will it affect the name of the soldier for the next mission?

    cheers!

  4. Ive recently been looking into the airborne (PIR) OOB in CMBN

    I remembered then playing brothers in arms, all 3 games, and the main character been squad leader of 3rd Squad, 3rd Platoon. But ofcourse in CMBN airborne companies only have 2 squads per platoon (plus 60mm and HQ)

    ofcourse first you would think why trust a video game? (even BIA been such a historically backed game) so I searched it a bit deeper and found a couple of sources showing airborne (PIR) OOB to be 3 squads per platoon, some 40 men per Plt (3x12 men rifle squads + 4 man 60mm squad). in CMBN plts are 35 men.

    ofcourse im not trying to critizise BF, I just wanted to let it show and to ask if there was some reason to this, or maybe its me missing something.

    Cheers and thank you :)
