I hope the same happens in the UK

Indeed. In one of Dugin's books he advocates the "Findlandization" of all of Europe. One particular point to note is the following: "The United Kingdom is described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", [and] should be cut off from Europe." Whatever people's thoughts on Brexit (whether it was influenced by Russia or not), this has played right into the hands of this ideology/doctrine.

Very interesting twitter thread here relating to Aleksandra Dugin who has apparently been a big influence on Putin's ideology/philosophy . https://twitter.com/TobyVenables/status/1497916322469928960?s=20&t=KzqCcXBuSmZk5cIOLfX35w

Just wondering why it has "tank" loses twice on that list?

I'm seeing a lot of reports / videos now of captured Russian soldiers (many are young men / teenagers) who appear utterly bewildered that they were in a conflict, and believing they were on military exercises. Is that possible? Surely they would have known they were invading Ukraine when the order was given? Or were they kept in the dark until it was too late?

@HaidukI'm glad to hear your okay, mate. I can't believe what I'm seeing on the news and various other outlets, and I can't imagine how it must be for you and your family, and your country. I'm an amateur historical war buff with an interest in gaming, but the reality of your situation in Ukraine has really shocked me, and it's taken me from that distant academic interest to a hard and unrelenting reality. I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to say here. Please keep your head down and stay safe! Many are thinking of you.

I just heard (unconfirmed) that Ukraine has asked Russia for a ceasefire?

Christ, I hope he's okay.

@Haiduk Not heard from you for a few hours on this thread. Are you safe? Are you okay?

I guess it depends on how NATO reacts, right? NATO striking militarily against Putin would give him an excuse to continue pushing forward (as you say possibly into other countries like Poland, which is terrifying). I'm guessing that NATO & US are hoping Putin will burn himself out before things can reach a point of no return?

Doubtful. Depends on whether military action remains within Ukraine borders? I think that action from NATO / US against targets outside of Ukraine would almost certainly escalade into something much hotter. My feeling is that this will be a protracted war confined within the borders of Ukraine, with Ukraine allies offering technical & practical support. Very interested to hear the views from the many intelligent folk on these forum.

Hi Haiduk, Where are you getting all this information?

I wasn't aware there was a new module on its way. CMFB is my favourite of the series! Do we have any details about the new module?

Hi, thanks for the response and for everyone else's comments. I didn't realise that they were meant to face backwards! I've been playing it all wrong! Great scenario btw!

Hello. I'm playing a scenario "Flames in the Mist" and my Archer Tank Destroyers are facing the wrong direction. When I give them a command move they move backwards (in reverse). Any thoughts on why this might be happening? I've tried to upload an image but my screenshot files are too big. Andy
