    I think a lot of us are already familiar with that Slavic god around here. Due to a certain smart Aussie who goes by that name on the internet. 😄

    It's better to pick the enemy troops yourself, file the quick battle for a few weeks and then play it with the hope that you have forgotten what choices of troops you made.

    Any professional worth their salt would 1) not have access to enough information to outline recommendations in any detail, or 2) if they did have access to enough information would not say anything as it would likely violate security.
    So what that major caveat up front; generally (and not pulling on anything but open sources/unclass) I would recommend:
    1.  Continue shaping until major RA cracks form.
    2.  Widen those cracks with pressure to the point the RA are forced into dilemma.
    3.  Exploit that dilemma into a collapse and take enough ground to keep the West happy without over extending.  While at the same time pushing hard enough to put RA back into a position where you can repeat the process.
    More simply put: Corrosion - Cracking - Concussion.  Do not stop until you hit a point where you cannot sustain defensive superiority against extant RA capability (which is a pretty low bar) as this would also be over extension.
    Tactically I would recommend to continue with what works - Infiltration, Isolation, Annihilation, Exploitation, along the entire RA operational system.
    Last point - when do we know when to stop?  If nothing is working we likely have to admit Defensive Primacy and either wait for a development to break that, or start thinking about a frozen conflict.  If massive C4ISR superiority, deep strike and infantry are not enough to break the RA defence - then admit we are in a new ballgame and start playing it.

    Probus got a reaction from A Canadian Cat in Thinking of buying a new gaming PC and monitor   
    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!

    Fair point.  It was more a shot at LLF who I get the sense is used to being the smartest guy in the room…until he got into this one.  I know I am not either because I can barely keep track of what is happening let alone why.  I mean we are about 90 seconds to midnight in a good day, Russians are using tanks as VBIEDs and our Prime Minister just tweeted Taylor Swift FFS.

    I dunno,  my impression was that we supported them turning on each other,  rather than one over the other. Prig in power would be just as bad,  if not worse than Putin. Pretty sure zero people here have a good opinion of Prig or supported him as the "Better"  side.   
    I was just happy to see a Croc turning on an Alligator.  They're both murderous predators, the more they're fighting each other the better. 
    Our ideal outcome is both Croc & Alligator drowning each other. 
    Unfortunately all they've done is hiss nastily at each other, nipped a tail and backed off. It's not over but man, my fingers are crossed that they go for another round and really cut each other down. 
    Good riddance to both scumbags.

    Got to love the sense of humor:
    Speaking to BBC World Service Newshour, Saks says just before Russia began its 2022 attack on Ukraine the world thought Russia had “the second most powerful army in the world”.
    “Yesterday everybody knew that Russia was the second most powerful army in Ukraine and today we're seeing how... the Russian army is becoming the second most powerful army in Russia."

    I think a better question is if those special shells are even necessary in order to penetrate Russian tanks? Do they even have any tanks left at this point, let alone any that don't belong in a museum?

    Yeah it is still early but I think I am distinctly hearing creaking noises from that shoddily built Russian house. 
    freakin months of Russian gains measured in inches per body and in a week we are starting a list of liberated settlements.  My bet is Russian high command is studiously avoiding being near windows.

    On a lighter note: Germany currently plays its 1000th international football match vs Ukraine. Currently, Ukraine leads 1:2, but it's still one hour to go

    These sorts of reactions are delusional - Just stop it guys - The only thing that matters is the  operational level goals at this point . We should not be freaking out about tactical losses - these are guaranteed to happen .  I mean seriously - please restraint the doom and gloom posts and  just thanks your lucky stars you are not at the leading edge of these attacks . The Ukrainians are  the ones shedding their blood to retake their own territory back from the orcs  . Give them some room please ! .
