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

Really enjoying this!

This looks great. But can someone explain the following to me? There is no download for this product! As long as you have an up-to-date installation you already have 100% of the files you need. An up-to-date installation of what exactly?

Not sure why but I can't see the screenshots?

Hi, thanks for all the responses. I'm a dunce! I had to dismount them first. I thought they were mobile vehicle mortars and could shoot straight from the vehicle. Thanks again for all the help! :)

Hi, It always says my mechanised mortars are "not positioned" when I go to "available artillery". There is no option to "deploy weapon". Is there some other order I need to give them?

Hi, Thank you for the response. I'msSorry, I didn't realise the thread was for windows issues. Update: none of the games would load for 2-3 days until suddenly today they are loading with no problem. I have no idea why! If it happens again I will try your suggestions. Many thanks! Andy

Not sure if this is the right thread but all of a sudden not a single one of my CM games are loading. I use a MacBook and the CM game icons are bouncing in the dock but not loading. This is only a recent issue. I think there may have been a recent mac update which might be causing this? Is anyone else having similar problems?

Wow! That's really cool. I didn't know anything about this. Btw, we do say "birds" but it depends on how cockney you are as to whether you'll get away with it!

You're working with the British MoD?? Can you elaborate on that?

Sorry. So I have downloaded some of these mods, for example I'd really like the black hawk helicopter in my games. I'd like to make some scenarios but don't know how to put them into the game?
