    Sure it was. In 2009 we predicted the minute there was a change in power in Kiev that Russia would invade Crimea, cause an "uprising" in eastern Ukraine, and would then invade.

     

    I can't catch your logic. How do you differ uprising at maidan in Kiev where people stand up by themselves and uprising in the east of Ukraine wich was lead by Russia? 100 thousand of people at maidan have to have thousands of toilets for monthes. They have to remove waste for monthes. They have to eat for monthes. This was not possible without support and organization. Do not tell me that unorgonized people can do anything against goverment forces in 21 century.

     

    Let's compare outcomes of unsupported and unorganized people uprising in Paris 2005 or London 2011 or Madrid 2014 or оcсupy wall street actions, with supported and well organizede uprising of people in Libia, Syria etc and finaly Ukraine.

     

     

    Russia's 20+ years of meddling in Ukrainian politics and economic affairs, including causing and fueling this war, is interference that Ukraine could have lived without.

     

    Russia did nothing in Ukraine for 20+ years. This is why all this can happen. It was not Russia who spent 5 billions in Ukraine. Russia was busy with it's own problems.

     

     

    The previous elections were rigged, the politics were rigged, the judicial system was rigged. The elections in the past did not fix the problem, and the people on Maidan realized that.

     

    The previous elections was legitimate. It was confirmed by international observers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_presidential_election,_2010#International_observers

    Meanwhile It is previous Maidan (Puts Yuschenko in the president's chair at 2004) wich did not fix the problems you are talking.

     

     

    Many in Russia believe, very strongly, that if it can not directly dominate its neighbors then all is lost. This is something that many in the West don't really understand. In the West there is an idea that we can "all get along". Sometimes that is just not possible.

     

    This is a bla-bla words about "all get along". Let's try to look at what countries of the world do rather than what they say. Suddenly it is just not possible to "get all along" only when there is some resources under the ground and the goverment is not our guys. Who cares about death penalties for homosexual acts in Saudi Arabia? Anybody care about quality of life there? It is not Russia who belive in world domination. World domination is done by someone else. Russia has all possible resources on it's own territory. Russia is one of very few countries who can get along indeed.

     

    Finally this is very offtopic here. I am sorry for that. I will not continue here.

  2. Though for sure Russia tried to prevent the change in power and many countries in the West tried to encourage it.

     

    We all can see results of encouraging in Libia, Syria, Egypt, Tunisia etc. It was predictable in Ukrain also. May be better option for people to not encourage them? Nobody will have to prevent in this case? May be better to not interfere into internal politics of other countries?

     

     

    And if you know 1/10th about what life has been like in Ukraine compared to a Western country, there would be no question about why they wanted change.

     

    I have no doubt that all people in the world would like to live better. There has to be better way, other than burn their country into ashes. And I think I know much better then 1/10 what has been life in Ukraine (sorry for my English one more time). It has been much better than today. Definitly.

     

    There were some months to new elections. There was no need for a Maidan.

     

     

    World politics is a race for annihilation in your perspective? Damn, why did we stop doing this in Europe help me remember please..

    World politics IS a race for resources, wealth and security. An I can't help you. I do not think you stop anything in Europe.

  3. My sentiments exactly. No one has a crystal ball or a monopoly on truth.

     

    +1

     

    No one has monopoly on truth. Except of moderator of course.

     

    The war can't proceed without support of Russia. I think so. It can be fact. Can this war proceed or be started without political and financial support from the West? No, it can not. It seems that it is fact also.

    Does the support from Russia make this war agressive? No more than support of France and Spain in American Revolutionary War (Foreign intervention

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War).Or German and Italian support to Franco in Spanish Civil War.

     

    I can't imagine myself spending 5 billion USD to develop my competitors country while playing Civilization. Can you? In Civilization, the only reason for that is to fight somebody by other hands.

     

    But US goverment do so

    (starting at 7:40). Actually the whole speech is interesting. Especially, if you replace words like "right way" to "our will".

     

    So, this war is not so simple as bad guys vs good guys. There is no simple crystal clear facts yet in this war. Except of facts designated for this role by moderators of

    course.

     

    PS. Sorry for my English. I am working on it.

  4. Hi,

    Could you please clarify for me some questions. I have bought a bundle of SC WWI Great War and SC WWI Breakthrough.

    The installer installed the games into different folders like they are separate games and not the second is add-on for first. I have two different launch icons. One for each game. I have to install patches separatly for the Greate War (1.07) and for the Breakthrough (1.03). Is it normal? Is the Breakthrough a standalone game or not?

    Do I need separate license keys for each one? I recieved only one key and it works for the Greate War, but I cannot activate the Breakthrough.

  5. Is it possible to make something with the graphics? I mean some times when my cursor is moved over a road I can see how terrain textures and meshes are changing to more detailed. It is not a problem when LOD is decreased on long distances. But it does not look good right under my cursor.

    I know the graphics is not very important for Combat Mission games. But I will welcome improvements on it. I do not need state of the art graphic technologies and effects like volumetric lighting. I just want more consistent graphics which will not distract me from the game.

  6. Hi all!

    I need your advice. I am trying to decide if a have to buy CM:Battle for Normandy or not. I have CM:Fortress Italy and I like it. But almost all battles are done. I am seeking more. CMBN has more battles; it has mach more in the repository then CMFI.

    But, as far as I know CMFI is the newest CM title. So I fear to miss some features that I like in CMFI.

    Is it right that after latest patches and upgrades CMBN is the same game as CMFI from the features and engine point of view? Cat I treat CMBN just as new content to the game absolutely the same as CMFI?

    PS. Just in case, sorry for my English. I am working on it :)

  7. I do not know if it was already mentioned, but it will be good to have line of sight check tool. For example let us just press Alt or something and drag mouse over a terrain and check the line of sight. It will be great if such tool will not be linked to selected unit. It will allow to check line of sight before issuing the movement comands and it will be much more comfortable.

  8. In such case I would like to put my vote for setting smoke to exact direction (like target) for infantry and for improvements of acquiring staff from vehicles in WEGO mode. I will be greate to take something from vehicle and fire it in one turn.

    Dismount and mount on vehicles while the vehicles are in pause for infantry will improve WEGO mode also. It could be addition command like "wait for infantry action" in the queue of commands for vehicles.

    And the greates think I could imagine is after action replays for a whole mission. Let us load a record file of acomplished mission and watch it like movie.

    At least 1 minute playback while on pause in realtime mode will be greate also.

  9. I have one more suggestion. It will be great if we will have tree like structure of icons of our units on the top left corner of the screen. HQ team on the top level and three squads in a row on the second level of the icon tree for example (in such case the icon tree will not take to much vertical space on the screen).

    The icons could blink even if casualty happend to squad which we cannot see on the screen with current camera position. This feature has even more value for realtime players.

    We could also select units with this icon tree and auto focus on them. Of course the autofocus feature needs to be improved .Selecting a unit with ctrl+click works not very good. In most cases autofocus set the camera position in such way that unit itself cannot be seen without ajusting camera position.
