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

    Hi @Combatintman and hi @MOS:96B2P:)

    After MANY weeks of radio silence on my pakistani border... i had a good go at the mission. Sorry i cannot paste any jpeg's or tiff's. Browser keeps telling me i have to upload files less than 501Kb whereas mine are around 160Kb !! I don't know why. Maybe i should swap browser? am using Mac OS (Safari).

    Anyways.. the MISSION is a blast. I honestly, did it a bit with haste, for the first round.. to see what it entails. And hell yeah >:) i guess the first 10 - 15 mins are crucial. I managed to blast the target with 2 casualties, and a wounded HQ infantry man. After i believe 15mins, the trigger to get the agent and his companion crop up. By that time, i already cleared the compound (I also realised i WASTED rockets), and took position on roof tops, with the majority walking/running to the HLZ.

    Some interesting facts i never knew before. It seems the CIA agent runs really well, and doesn't tire quick, is it coz he's veteran ? Whilst his companion, as a conscript, really and i mean REALLY tires much easily. 

    I managed to reach the trenches, before any Uncon took position, and managed to kill off those that were approaching.

     

    Then, Blood Hell, i noticed, how many - around 4 BMPs ? started closing in really rapidly to the original position of the compound, they managed to kill off two more of the regular troops. The original wounded guy of HQ, continued limping to the HLZ.

    All in - All, i got a US Tactical Victory. played as Veteran. And i gave points away to the OPFOR since they killed my troops. I secured my objectives with haste.

    I really really Enjoyed this short, but tense mission... i am a strong believer, that CM would benefit of similar missions, ESPECIALLY with the newer Engines coming out. Please @Combatintman can you every now and again, continue doing some SOF missions ?

    How about British forces, SAS :P

    I Have No Idea What to Buy

    Couldn't agree more.  Having so many products with separate forums is making each forum very sparse.  Back in CM1 days, the forums were very active and were only divided between CMBO, CMBB and CMAK.  Today re CM2, there are currently only a couple dozen of us posting most of the messages on all the forums.  It's starting to seem like BF forums are dying on its feet like the ones at the once very active WeBOB - with only one or two active areas.  Right now, most of the CMBS chatter is about politics and technical weapons systems issues - hardly anything about playing the game itself. 

    I hope this isn't affecting the customer base.  But, that may be an increasing concern.  I wonder if having separate forums is a good idea any longer.  After all, it's the same game and engine, just different eras or geographic areas.  Perhaps the forums should be consolidated a la CM1 to West Front, East Front and Southern Front.

    Not being an extreme regular  player of CM. And having fallen trap to owning ALL CMx2 except CMA... it's true - that keeping tabs in all sub fora becomes daunting.

    Thanks MOS, i must have missed that one.. let me dl asap..

    These real-life / inspired scenarios are my favourite... 

    Libya although seemingly quite now, is sprawling with uncon- and con-. + special forces boots on the ground activity. It must be a CM editor / developer festival if one had to tamper in it. Tripoli, Bayda, the VERY WELL KNOWN Sirte, Bani Walid, and more.

    Hi all. I just found the time to dl stalingrad mod + some maps that go with it - and it's simply WOW. - amazing works guys.

    i was thinking - mods that make such an overhaul of a whole major city such as stalingrad... can anyone recommend any other CM mod that also overhauls a town or city ? I'm not sure there are so many. And I'm not being limited to CMRT either.

    Yes, good work.  But, before you do a lot of additional work, hopefully you have checked out the mod versions of uncon forces that already exist(?).  There is quite a lot already available which provide far more options than in your pic.

    Eg:

    JocksMixedCombatants

    Mord's Mixed Combatants (& unit portraits)

    Mord's masked Syrian Fighters

    There is more than enuff uncon and Iraqi and Syrian Army mods already made to simulate just about any battle in Syria, Iraq etc. Am still hoping for a Mosul scenario - (hint.)

    ..Am still hoping for a Mosul scenario @MOS:96B2P @Combatintman I second that ! :)

    Yeah... that is 'partially' true. Temp rarely falls below 15'C here., and cold is never a major issue... but when it decides to rain - oh boy it rains. 

    Shouldn't we talk more of CMSF2 ? :) I think - @Combatintman would be the ideal person to create a 'soldiers of benghazi' scenario. Two lovely compounds.. the private CIA complex, and the embassy. If OBL rocked... this came later, and shocked us all - not in a nice way. I had a blast playing 'Zawiya uprising'

    RAMADI (Iraq): Mother of All MOUT Maps

    At present I was created a scenario with the map of Ramadi, I am inspired by recent news on the battle of Mosul.

    I am interested in these battles with low ways. The Iraqi army does not exist any more. The fights are similar to those of the Second World War, finally almost.

    Hmmm not exactly sure what you meant by Iraqi army is no more. I believe there is a special branch of special forces in Iraqi SF, that do an excellent job getting rid of hostiles. You can google it.

    I have to say it - but this forum, and actually not just SF but all the other CM, are full of life and cool characters. Thank you all guys.. its a really gloomy day here in the Mediterranean island, and so i have every excuse to stay indoors. and play. PLAY? Actually - making very important tactical decisions that can cost lives... of pixeltruppen.
