FYI I did just install the new patch, but I don't think anything I've listed below was included in 1.02. Also, if anyone else has already brought some of these ideas up before, I apologize. 1) When the weapon silhouette shows pistols (as in the case of some officers and dismounted tankers), the 3D graphic is actually of a rifle. When the rifle fires, it makes a pistol sound. Could we actually see 3D graphic pistols instead of rifles? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't dismounted Soviet tankers carry folding-stock AK's during this time? 2) One thing I really miss about the pre-Shock Force Combat Missions is the "random map generator". It would be great for both the scenario editor and quick battles. Any chance this could be added in a future patch? 3) I love to play in real-time, but I wish it had the same capability as turn-based (i.e. fast forward & reverse). It would be nice in cases like when you've set up an ambush and you have to wait 10-20 minutes before the enemy shows up, or like when you've fulfilled all the mission requirements or killed off all the enemy and for some reason the battle just goes on & on. 4) Could troops who are low or out of ammo automatically pick up better weapons and ammo from dead or wounded enemy troops nearby? I know this happens when a soldier goes into "medic" mode on a friendly WIA/KIA, but it would be nice if it happened with enemy WIA/KIA too. 5) More maps please 6) More single player battle missions please 7) More variety of facial graphics please Thanks!! I would also like to thank Battlefront for such an awesome game series. The Combat Missions have been my absolute favorites ever since Beyond Overlord came out!

Ok, that worked.

I just purchased CM Afghanistan last night. Overall I like the game, & it's about what I expected from a first release. I'd like to point out an issue I found in quick battle - when you select which side you want to play, after you hit the start button, the sides automatically reverse. In other words, the "red force" & "blue force" buttons are mixed up. I had the "attacker" side as Soviet, the "defender" side as D.R.A., & I selected to play as the Soviet side. However when the game started, I was playing D.R.A. against the Soviets. I've tried this 3 or 4 times now & it's consistent. Just wanted to point that out...
