Wow, what's up with the freaking Russian apologists on this site all of a sudden? Brietfart followers perhaps?
Well to be fair, some of the news lately is pretty egregious. I think it might be a natural reaction to the propaganda that blames everything on the Russians.

I have a Gorka suit which is really great to pack for hiking. I'm not a fan of HSLD guys on the range or on the trail, but a waterproof coat that doesn't cost Arc'tyrx prices is a good get.

I suspect the answer will be "when it's done", but in light of the recent news can we have more information on Q3?
-
I didn't see analysis of anti-armour applications of Arty like this in school or the battery, even when we got Excalibur we didn't much more on using it on hard targets than "Call KAF to get authorization! Do you know how much those cost?!"
@HerrTom, where would using precision rounds put the frag pattern from an airburst?
Note to @Battlefront.com: Could we see more arty options in a future engine update?
Illum would make the night battles in WW2 much better IMO (IR for modern titles would help too!)
Smoke pots rather than WP would help with screening and make the Rules of Armed Conflict easier to follow in the modern titles (see: PR disaster of WP in Mosul)
Cluster shells may be contentious, especially DPICM, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing them.
finally the ability to adjust burst height, coupled with @HerrTom's frag data could lead to some more control over desired effect on target.

Infantry may occupy, but you just conquered this Gunner's heart. -

This too makes sense, but for Uncon battles, if the weapon is better than anything they have to hand and they can use it, surely it would make sense.....It would also make players a bit more careful about casualties, something the game should emphasize IMHO.
Russia expended a tremendous effort to airdrop supplies to partisans, as the did Allies in France, Italy and Yugoslavia.

This whole time I had no idea I could use the AS as a SP gun! I knew about the 47 for on and off-map indirect fires but this is new and awesome!

So have you been able to upload all the CMFI->CMBS maps?
I've converted all Huge and Large maps, but have no idea how to put them all up at once.

I lost a Russian BMP Company to a few entrenched MT-12s! It's no joke!
I've had a busy afternoon!
-
Converted this from FI and it's already a fav in BS.

You don't take captured equipment in the field. I know my rifle works because I cleaned it, and I have ammo for it. I might know how to operate my buddy's weapon as well, but I'm not taking a firearm off an enemy in any circumstances.
Seconding partisans for both CMRT and CMFI -
That was only directed at parties who think:
A) NATO would accept the membership of a country with a border dispute / oppresed ethic minority / low intensity war with a Nuclear power.
B ) Ukraine could fight above-mentioned power for 6 months into the winter (somehow).
C) If Ukrainian NATO membership was imminant, the other party wouldn't aim for a coup de grace to present NATO with fait accompli.
D) (miraculous) NATO involvement wouldn't lead to immediate de-escalation.
E) NATO is going to fight a mass-casualty war with Russia over a peripheral, divided country that the other power obviously considers to be a major national interest.

I can't wait. I'm patriotically running though the Canadian campaign and there's so much I miss from Black Sea! I'm totally perplexed by unit behavior, I'm not seeing when my guys go down, Canadian platoons are inexplicably organized with CO and XO teams, etc etc. Even units movement looks janky!
E: Coyotes that can't use the MMSS or have a hull-down command are frustrating in the extreme!
-
My only question about that being the final module for FI, is that a future module to bring both fascist and co-belligerent Italy through the end of the war was mentioned in the last xmas bone. I want my partisans!
-
Getting those 90mm guns would be a game changer for me. I could just use infantry to give the guns some breathing room and they'd have more ammo than the pitiful allotment of the SP 90mn
-
Speaking of early war, Polish forces are in CMBN and CMFI, will we see them in future CMRT titles?
-
Explain how a NATO-Russian mass casualty, conventional war could last 6 months please. My regiment was expected to have 50% casualties in the first 4 days when we were in Germany in the 80's.
-
I think I saw a post from the Devs saying there is no conceivable way Ukraine could hold out until winter in the scenario outlined in the manual, and a force-on-force confrontation involving NATO would either end in negotiation or nuclear exchange before winter as well.
-
I've converted all the Huge CMFI maps, is there a place to host them?

Oh, now that is freaking outstanding!!
That map opened with no problems....very, very cool...the possibilities are almost limitless for QB junkies like myself....thanks very much!
More CMFI, please....I have a Mac and am not nearly smart enough to make this converter widget work, but will happily sing kudos to all who can.....
I'm working through the Huge QB maps first. Let me know if you run into any problems.

So is this now a CMBS map?
Yep!

Saving the map in the CMBS editor under a different name did the trick for me. Loads fine now in QB. Before saving under a different name it was crashing CMBS although I could view it fine in the 3D view of the scen editor.
Working map attached. Enjoy!
Worked like a charm! In the future, do I do more-or-less the same thing?

Likely the converted map has something on it that does not exist in the new destination. You might be able to solve it by closely examining the map for possible candidate terrain, buildings or other features and delete and replace them. Can you actually enter the 3D preview in the scenario editor?
It does load up. It even looks pretty great! The buildings are converted, as best I can tell. The buildings are converted, as best I can tell.
The map is 024Attk Huge Open 024.btt and I'm trying to take it from CMFI to CMBS. I attached the file. -
I'm able to see maps in the editor, but launching QB maps across titles never gets beyond 0% "loading data"
Suggestions? I'm not a scenario maker, just looking for more QB maps.

They openly had slave markets. Think of it as the forerunner to ISIS.
