Probus

It is the killer at close attacks 
 

I would like to restress the corruption of our politicians. We spend
900 Billion Dollars
on our military every single year. Russia is 1 of 2 challengers of peace, and is currently close to defeat.
It was paid for with a pitiful fraction of this enormous amount of money.

Does anyone know what happened to @Grigb? Hope he didn't get mobilized or arrested or anything.

Doing the quick move with well-placed waypoints is Imo something to be considered. The troops waiting at the waypoint for other teams to catch up will engage enemy units especially giving them an additional 5sec pause. The assault command to be given when the hand grenade becomes the primary weapon. Less than three action squares. Brits WW2 a section has three teams split three ways and keep the Bren team for support. Let the other two teams merge and use them for the assault. 

I think that is what most experienced players do.

Finally we have video proof of Banderites attacking poor Donbass children with HIMARS:
 

Oh cool, I always thought H.I Sutton was american for some reason. I learnt of him via sub brief, and checked his twitter when stuff is going is down... Didn't know he even had a YT channel... duh me!...

Finally! RL Video of an actual turn of mine in CMBS!
From, I believe,  my 5th game as RUS, yes?  The last one before I said GTFO to ever using BMPs again. 
 

Good heavens, how did I miss this super informative documentary on Russian mobilization?
 
 

Not just that. I oftenly find the first team starting the assault is the support team which I don´t like. 🙄 Fairly much a random thing and it puts an AIP at a disadvantage quite in particular, also considering it doesn´t have some move orders a human player has available. (move +hunt) For my own assault I always split teams and decide which ones move and which ones support. As well would be desirable if one can just split off a 2-3 men lmg team and then decide where the squad leader goes. He has the binoculars and lmg team would benefit from squad leader the most. Particularly when the enemy is still beyond 300m range.

Assault is the shortcut when one cannot be bothered to split a squad into teams.  Otherwise one can do assaults with teams but have to give orders to each team separately.
It is odd that 9 man squads can only be split into 2 teams.  So if one splits off a 2-man scout team, one is left with an unwieldy 7 man unsplittable team.  However, in CMBS the Ukrainian(?) troops are in 7 man squads that can be split into 3 teams:  2-2-3.  This is really useful as one can split off the guy with LMG and use the others for assault.  If it can be done here why not for all squads in all games?  Is it doctrine that all other nations' 7 man teams cannot be split??

Assault is automated fire and manoeuvre between teams.... each element that moves is one of the elements you get from "Split squads", i.e., one of each of the two-three defined teams.

Now, should teams be able to subdivide? Maybe, but CM's scale has the team as the lowest element.

According to the manual, headcount is a factor which will deny the command to a squad/section when it falls below a certain (unspecified number).  Realism-wise it makes sense as while teams often fire and manoeuvre in pairs it is more a squad/section thing than a fire team thing.

Sorry but let's not share this kind of stuff here. Those guys were no gentlemen, that's for sure and there is no excuse for hitting the woman. But she is also not innocent, her choice of words is quite provocative. Without any context the sole purpose of this video is obviously to vilify Russians. Replace Russian with any other nationality including Ukrainians and you will find something similar somewhere on the internet or life in one of the shadier establishments.
IMHO there are enough awful videos and pictures of the actual war and surrounding events that really speak for themselves. We don't need this kind of stuff.

Luke Coffey debunks the claims made on accountability definitively here:

These points are well understood to be true on the Hill which should put the positioning going on in a fairly unflattering context.

Ok let’s get some knowledge on this whole Wagner Line thing.  I will caveat that 1) I am not even sure a complex obstacle belt will work against how the UA has been fighting this war and 2) I have no idea how long this Wagner line is, or whether it ties into natural obstacles nor what the fire plans are around it.
That said, be very wary of the internet.  I see a lot of people talking about stuff they have no idea about, particularly in the “Russia sux camp”.  I do not go into my professional background too much for many reasons but I will say that one of my military incarcerations over a 34 year career is a military engineer, so take that into account if you like.
First, I doubt the veracity of the styrofoam claim very much.  Why?  Because it would take more time and resources to make a fake dragons tooth than to simply pour some concrete over steel bars.  I have heard nothing about Russia suffering a concrete shortage and this whole styrofoam theory sound like complete BS.
Second, efficacy of the Wagner line dragons teeth.  Dragons teeth need not be fixed or footed, particularly not the pyramidal ones I am seeing in this pictures.  They are designed to roll and catch the ground on their points as they do.  In doing so they can either belly up a tracked vehicle or de-track it.  Either way they act as caltrops for tracked IFVs and armor, looking for mobility kills but these are just the appetizer.
Third, these are clearly part of a complex obstacle.  The sorts of obstacles are designed to pull combat engineering and key armoured resources forward and expose them the fires.  If you can kill them then bull-rushing such a complex obstacle will likely yield in and around 70-80% casualties.  It isn’t how large the dragons teeth are, or how much they weigh, it is their placement.  I have heard a lot of “well we can just go in and tow them out” or “bring in a dozer and simply push them”.  Sure, but you are doing that in the middle of a 400m deep minefield while having ATGMs and artillery dropped on your head.  In fact the dragons teeth I have seen in that double row are likely the horizontal safelane markers as well.  As you would expect dismounting in the middle of a minefield with crowbars and chains is a good way to turn trained sappers into names on a memorial.
Finally, stuff like dragons teeth are hell on mine plows and rollers.  The get in between them and mess up the tank.  So this means engineers have to bring up technical vehicles like dozer tanks..which are very rare on the battlefield.  I have seen pics of these dragons teeth next to railways and embankments, which is really smart as that makes the mechanical clearing job that much harder.  About the only expedient way for this is explosive clearing - which I am not sure the UA even have - dragons teeth then should be fixed to avoid being blown aside.  But when combined with an AT ditch and some decent sighting that can even stump an explosive breach.
So no, there is nothing wrong with those Dragons Teeth as is at least as far as I can see from a picture, maybe not the most awesome I have ever seen but as part of a larger complex obstacle they will do exactly what they were designed to so long as that obstacle is covered by fire and observation.  The Russians are going to need about 100kms of these in a triple belt with KZs pre-sighted to get the effect I think they are looking for, which I do not think they can do and shame on the UA if they give them time and space to do this.
Remember that diagram I did up a while back, look both left towards effect and right towards capability when seeing stuff like this and always keep in mind the entire picture.  And avoid groups who are just seeing what they want to see at this point.

Oh dear, looks like one of the forum old ones has gone off his meds again.  
“It ok, no the nurse is not here to steal your fillings.  No, you and The_Capt are fine…no duelling is against the law now.  There you go, now we can watch the tele…hey look Dallas is on.” 

Something large is expoloded this night on Kinburn spit, Kherson oblast (long peninsula oppose to Ochakiv), probably in area of Pokrovske village

 
 

Well done, sir! Assuming the photo is authentic, the great Wagner line, the mighty AT barrier made from styrofoam! Next we will see the mighty Lego wall. None shall pass! 😀

In "CMBS 2" we should be able to wargame these scenarios and see if we can tell how NATO forces would have done in this hypothetical situation. Maybe not logistically, but at least tactically. Don't you agree Steve?
P.S. I can hardly wait! 😁

Two weeks before an election. People are doing silly things, and then even sillier things to try and fix it.
