Winged Hussar

Sorry here's another thread . Would it be possible to have section formation buttons, ie (File, single file, arrowhead, diamond and extended line or american equivalents) to stop squads bunching up and all be taken out with a single RPG :eek:. Also this provides wider frontage rather than a follow the leader sort of approach which doesn't allow for good volumes of returning fire which allows fire and movement to be used more effectively.

Thanks for the suggestion i will use that in future battles . However if you want to get a whole platoon to hold it's fire do you still have to set covered arcs to each sub unit rather than selecting the whole platoon and set them to hold fire. I still think the command should be considered for future combat mission games.

In several ambush type scenario's I have been frustrated that even with the hide command units will not hold their fire:mad:. There need's to be a actual hold fire command which allows your units to observe without firing. Also this would be useful in doing a recee on enemy forces as at the moment once your within rifle range scout squads will engage the enemy which is pointless and just causes friendly casualties.

Cheers for the advice about points weighting for the US special forces i'll make sure to include it in the briefing

The scenario I am designing is an attack on a farm held by uncons. I am using green combatants with a bit of light tecnical support who have been killing urdish villagers in reprisal raids. The attacking force is a handful of US special forces with a large group of regular fighters who are meant to be Kurdish insurgents fighting Syria for their independence supported by the invading US forces, so they aren't really fighting heavy armour, more sort of showing the kurds how it's done.

Thanks for that, Have you got any ideas for modelling US special forces. I was thinking a supply platoon with a couple of engineer squads all elite with high fitness etc, with M224 60mm mortar support. Bare in mind i only have the base game at the moment.

Is there any way of modding the game so that you can have one team as composite eg US special forces with uncons that they have trained. For Syria one possible example could be US special forces with kurdish seperatists.
