Getting the Soviets into the first town is no mean feat!

I was just getting ready to post a new thread for Israel when I saw you beat me to it. This stuff needs to be discussed. This is history in the making and as far as CM goes, it is very relevant.

I had a late start also. My username is the infamous gkersh (#1 with 0 points), so we had to get that sorted. Now I'm rarin' to go.

Shoulder launched SAMs? What aircraft are we using now for EW? EF-18s? Burning out EW antennas used to be a big problem. It would be nice if we had a fleet of loitering EW drones that could limit/disable all the smaller drones. But the EW systems take a lot of power and cooling.

Does anyone have a link to a good map of what's changed in the last couple of months or so?

I bet the gunner wasn't too happy about it though...

1) Yes, I believe so. I play on a 4K monitor and sometimes on a 2K monitor. Never had any problems. (I might add that I got it to run across 2 x 2K monitors also) 2) Yes, that is correct but if its been a while since you downloaded, the current game version may have changed. Good luck!

Can Ukraine afford to not hit any Wagner camps in Belarus? I mean that's thousands of troops all grouped together.

Any chance that Belarus worked out a truce so that the Wagner group could retreat into Belarus and save face? Anyone else see that as a giant ruse to redirect the Wagner group so they can attack from the north and make it a 2 front war again?

Yeah. That is something to see!

Whoa! That was some hit!

2500! Almost!

I am probably missing something, but how does that dam being blown have something to do with a Ukrainian offensive? BTW, how much of that reservoir will drain before allowing a crossing through that area?

I'm not saying you are wrong at all, but remember what we all thought about Ukraine's ability to hold out against the Russians in Feb 2022. We were all taken by surprise at the tenacity of the Ukrainian defense.

I wonder how affective they are against buttoned up armor. They should at least cause advancing armor to stay buttoned up. I also wonder how Combat Mission is going to include them in any future modern titles they release. Drone squad with "over the horizon" attacks? Or a mixture of a recon drone with an attack button?

Oh man!

Might be time for a "How Hot is Belarus Gonna get?" thread...

If Russia starts conscripting big time again, what percentage of the population would be eligible approximately?

Don't you think that if UA is going to maintain surprise, the opening push should be hot and heavy. I don't think there will be any doubt that operations have kicked off but there should be a good number of strikes on Logistics and C&C wherever the low hanging fruit is before things get going.

I like it a lot! +1.

*rant begins* I think the UA offensive is right around the corner, prolly less than 7 days. We won't know it until after it has happened, of course. June will be a much different month than May. Just watch. Its all starting to fly together ready for a push. I hope they can push 'em back all the way to the Black Sea at the very least. Simply put, well applied Western firepower trumps the best the conscript Russians can bring to the table. Just look at all the signs... or the suspicious lack thereof in some cases. My money is on an offensive from Melitopol through Mariupol. *rant ends*

Does Ukraine have to cut Crimea off with a drive to the Black Sea in order for their offensive to be considered a success or is there more that the UA needs to accomplish?
