    Mr President - I think we've found Osama Bin Laden

    I'll be honest it is not a scenario I would ordinarily choose to do but @borg had been harassing me to do a SOF type scenario and I thought I'd give it a spin out of curiosity.  This type of scenario does not play to CM's strengths at all but I think I can make it work sufficiently well for it to be playable.  It does mean that I have to tinker with reality though to make the scenario challenging.  My intent is to run a tutorial thread explaining how I put it together which explores these concepts that I will run once the mission is released.

    Old but Gold :) Giving this scenario a spin in CMSF2 - it holds well right ? In the new build and engine.  Thanks all. @Combatintman @MOS:96B2P

    That is odd. I have not had that problem. Sounds like this is a job for the professionals: Battlefront Help desk

    I got a very fast reply/help - with a link to provide me with all original .btt and .cam - which is very good ofc.

    Im a bit uneasy.. that the original problem is still not fixed per se.. But we see what happens with future updates / patches ? 

    Thanks guys

    No it doesn't make sense, everything should be included in the 4.0 installer

    BUT, it is not working this way. I can't get the original .btt files to appear when I make a fresh install with 4.0. And it's not because of my system (as I tried it on two different machines, with different OS versions) - could the shared filed in my link be corrupted ? How can I know ? @Battlefront.com can you kindly help me out 🙏🏻

    Hi Guys ! Hope all is good down range.... 😌

     

    I have re-istalled CMSF, CMCW and now CMBS... the first two all is good. BUT for CMBS, something very strange has happened to me on my Mac OS machine. the battle pack missions appear. BUT all original scenario files, are not visible, nor shaded. Simply they are not installed / copied. I downloaded the full install pack using safari and also Firefox. and installed. but to no avail. I didn't have this issue with the other modules. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  it's as if, I need to copy the .btt files somehow. The battle pack missions fire up normally and playable. 

    problem seems resolved !! For some strange reason. I had to first install CMBS engine 3.0 and then, proceed with engine 4.0 full install. Does that make sense ??

    Anyhow, it worked 👽

    Hi Guys ! Hope all is good down range.... am re-posting this from the General CM forum. Im hoping I find more like here.

    I have also tried installing the same CMBS .pkg file on an older MacBook, with an older OS, and STILL ! the same thing happened. Perhaps it's my file on the share file link by @battlefront that is not good ? hmm.

    Putin (and russians as a whole) thinks no such thing. He is perfectly aware of what NATO is. And he is perfectly aware that it's impossible to drag NATO into aggressive wars of any kind because of all the safeguards.

    Furthermore russians are fully aware that no NATO country is interested in expansion because civilized world is all about trying to outrun other countries in money and money loves peace.

    This all has to do with the fascist ideology of russians as a whole. Their ideology is that Russia is "a third Rome" (which is highly delusional in itself for oh so many reason), that their empire should spread to former USSR borders in the middle of Germany once again.

    Likewise "Warsaw pact" was never any pact - USSR just couldn't say "this all belongs to us now" so soon after 1945 because they would look like an occupier, not unlike Nazi Germany, to the rest of the world and that's a bad idea in the aftermath of WW2. But make no mistake - all those countries were fully occupied.

    So naturally NATO prevents the restoration of "former glory" (aka occupying half of Europe) and that's the only reason Russia opposes NATO. And that's why they wage wars since as early 1992, occupying parts of countries to use NATO safeguard about "countries with ongoing wars not able to join" against those countries.

    And that's why they can't invade Baltic countries because those got protection.

    With Ukraine it's an even more hardcore story, totally tied into faux russian greatness mythology, that was already discussed.

     

    I loved reading this... 

    On a serious note. Now that over 20 days elapsed. Is this war still bound to go either way, or can some solid conclusions start to be made  ? 

    At times, it feels surreal that all this started, and has been going on for three weeks already !

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the VDV abandoning their vehicles means 1) no fuel/ammo/food came for them 2) they know/were told none will be coming. 

     The vdv is equivalent in role to say, Delta Force? Am I right? Or the 82 Airborne?

    so imagine an entire unit of them walking away, no vehicle destruction, Nada.

    when was the last time US units did that? Korea?

    I begin to suspect it’s a sign - against their origins
