    CMRT Module 1 Bones

    May I propose "Combat Mission Fight for Survival  CMFFS.  Israeli Defense Force vs Syria, Egypt, Jordon, Lebanon and Iraq and am I missing some other country.  I think politics may have something to do with fact that I will probably never see such a game, but boy would like to have those tank battles in the Sini desert and canal areas.  Oh what about Golan Heights Valley of tears...or valley of death.  T-62 vs Centurian or M-48 Patton See the source image

    The Year Ahead Bone Post

    So I've been a little late on this post and anything re CMRT is welcome.  But for me once again late war battles that are depicted in the book "SPEARHEAD"  which features M-26 Pershing, which I can't get enough of, maybe because of the gritty film of the Cologne tank duel.  In the book the battles continued with the M-26 in the lead most of the time while the ubiquitous M-4's get smoked again and again.  I know that the M-26 was too little too late, but I still think that it made it's mark in the war.  Yeah what if we started Normandy with M-26 replacing the M-4.  I guess we can what if this because we can.  But what if...Oh man what if.

    30mm Strykers...get some

    So the 105 mm round does not get the job done.  The 30 mm round will.  Does the NATO forces use 5.56 or 7.62.  It goes all the way back to the MBT-70 disaster when we tried to work with Germany.  We went with the 105 mm then went to the 120 mm which in the end was a good choice, but has the MGS even seen any combat?  I don't recall.

    So can we expect something like the battle of Berlin and fight for the Reichstag.   Also between June and September 1944, the Wehrmacht had lost more than a million men, and it lacked the fuel and armaments needed to operate effectively.  The Supreme Commander [Western] Allied Expeditionary Force, General Eisenhower lost interest in the race to Berlin and saw no further need to suffer casualties by attacking a city that would be in the Soviet sphere of influence after the war,[ envisioning excessive friendly fire if both armies attempted to occupy the city at once.

    Smart move on Eisenhower's part.  The USA would have likely suffered accordingly.  These big self propelled guns look like they weigh quite a bit.  Big boom...203 mm.

    uncam: Combat Mission campaign extractor

    I ran that program and placed the files into the folder.  It unpacked the NATO files but not the other american files.  The screen flashed and I got an error report which is displayed below.

     

    In file: C:\Users\Miste\Desktop\Shock Force 22\Semper Fi Syria.cam
    Invalid number read: Attempted to parse core units size
    The application attempted to read a number value in the current campaign file was significantly larger than what could be be considered sensible.
        Heuristic for maximum value: 100000000
                         Read value: 2164227200
    Something probably went wrong with parsing the specific file format and the cursor was not positioned correctly.
    Alternatively, the heuristic may not have been set conservatively enough and should be increased.

    Yes as far as I remember in the Challenger incident it was rather cold on pad when they launched and the "o-ring" failed.  A very sad and tragic "accident" ensued.  I will as many of us who were around back then will forever remember watching in horror. We will forever remember where we were, what we were doing at that time.
