The uniform mods won't work because the skeletons/wireframes are different in SF2, Jonzey, but the scenarios will. According to BFC all SF1 scenarios are supposed to work in SF2, and all the ones I've tried do.

Am I correct in understanding that there will be naval gunfire in CW?

ARMA’s single player sux, though (as I understand it). Or have they made changes to make SP worth while?
But yes, would LOVE that sort of graphics in CM!

Steady Eddy, when it's ready!

Total nonsense. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Looks really good.  Coming November 26:

You would need cutting charges for the hedgehogs.  One for each leg of the hedgehog.  Say 20 - 30 minutes per hedgehog. Also add time for laying out your firing method.  You would still need to remove any stubs sticking up out of the ground after the hedgehog is cut away..  A satchel charge would just scratch a hedgehog.

I grew up just 8 km from the inner-german border and never felt any fear or such - today I think that is strange.
Just the opposite, there are many nice memories concerning the military of that time. We often had the 16/5th Queens Royal Lancers on exercise at the farm of my father. They were stationed at the town of Wolfenbüttel nearby and everybody loved to see them, my mother because we talked english all day, the soldiers because they had warm places to sleep and a shower, and my father because he had an agreement to get a bottle of Famous Grouse for each day of their stay. We did things you never get elswhere, driving a Ferret Mk1 (I called it armored Dune Buggy), a Scorpion tank and even firing a Sten SMG on the meadow behind the barn. Once my father and me visited their barracks for some claybird shooting and the officers invited us to the officers mess. Wow, never saw so many silver cups and a living tradition like that.
When I served at PzAufklBtl 1 (Armored Recon) from '79 to '83 (just the proper time for this game) we were not even allowed to keep our battalion coat of arms, it was from the Black Hussars from Brunswick who fought with the British against Napoleon, but was too similar to the SS sign. That happens to military traditions when you loose your wars.
At that time I met kind guys from the 2nd Armored Division on Reforger exercise near Brunswick and found some nice friends there (Cpt. Hutto somewhere around here?).
And I served as contactperson for the team of 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards during the Boeselager Cup, an international competition among reconaissance forces. Still remember the 'Biwak' on the last evening.
One day I heard the sound of a Huey helicopter nearby and it did not disappear. So I looked for the source and found some thee or four Huey Cobra hovering directly at the outskirts of the village. I immediatly fetched my brothers and we tried to follow them with my Renault R4. Tough job, soon they were gone. But suddenly they reappeared one after the other over a ridgeline and took my car as a training target. Oh, man, that was exciting. I tried to make their job as difficult as I could but these helis were really fast and agile. I would love to ride one of those, must be like a flying Kawasaki.
I think Germany really lost something important with all these kind soldiers who are gone now and with them the BFBS radio and the British Wargamers Association with which I had so nice times at Rheindahlen and elsewhere.
And, by the way, a german Recon Btl was a complete all arms force in '79, ideal for a Bundeswehr expansion one day. There was a ground surveillance radar plt, two companies with Luchs and Leopard1, and a heavy company with grenadier plt (on Schützenpanzer kurz, later Fuchs), engineer plt, and 120 mm mortar plt.
And now I am here, working as an engineer on military simulation and looking forward to my retirement next year being excited to have all the time necessary to play my favorite game then, CM:CW.
 
 

I have to run atm, but quick answer is "sort of". You have to find the correct skeleton, then copy those (6) file names over to the US counterpart skeletons you want to replace in FI. You also need to rename the actual bmp textures files for the uniforms according to what they are named in FI. Good luck, but if you wait a few hours, I can check it all out and make the changes (assuming it works as I remember).

Haha, welcome Mograth!  You will never need purchase any other games except CMx2 games, and their progeny.

No can do, unfortunately. Programmable AI is only for the opposition. There is the Tac AI, which does control your truppen in order to automatically fire at threats and run away/displace/whatever as the fortunes of combat play out. But you can't pre-program your own troops' actions. 

I'll keep that in mind, MJ, thank you. 👊

And plain dumb people. It is dumb to assume anyone who would enjoy a vehicle of a certain kind in a game is a fanboy of the political ideology of the nation which fielded that vehicle. Especially if it is used an argument for other vehicles to be added.
Now I don't care about the Jagdtiger or Valentine 234 whatever added, but if people do that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a rosy view of whatever or being a nazi fanboy. 

Vencini, preordering only gets you a few hours heads-up from BFC before the non-preordering people are notified that the game is released and ready to be downloaded. So once the game is released, you can buy it, download it, and install it.

One of those surviving crew named Audie Murphy, by chance? If so, you’re In like Flynn!😂

What media outrage?!? This is a game and there are no civilians to massacre. All the CM titles take place where civilians live.  If you want to imagine they are there, fine.  But this still has little to do with Combat Mission. And civilians are worked into SF2 in the sense that the higher the civvie  density setting, the less intel the player has. So in this game, civvies are a minus without any way to actually massacre then out of the way!
