Haha - this game never ceases to surprise me. And the followers.
CMSFII PLZ.

I have found the use of charges to be exceptionally useful when sneaking from behind walls and blasting your way through the compound..
-
killing the trigger man , will disable the IED ?
And, are there IEDs that explode upon setting foot on them ? (aka mines?)
-
So guys, I read countless of times on how to approach or not to approach - roads that have potential IEDs. Which in this case @Sgt.Squarehead made sure we have plenty of surprises..
my question - is there a formula on how to approach and detect IEDs before they explode/hit you ? Can troops detect them before carnage ? Thanks

Yes yes I agree with you, re: the fast paced tempo, this campaign DEFINITELY is not. It ticks one big mark for me since its in A*Stan. I wanted to refer to other scenarios that are fast paced, such as Op Neptune Spear and others, such as Afghani Stan.

Playing Mission 1 of Heart of Darkness. A bit frustrated that I lost 3 guys to mines. Problem with CM2 is that the only way to find mines/IED's is for someone to get blown up. I thought that the area of IED's was indicated by barrels and other eye candy. But, apparently there is no indication.
Also, I made the village to the left and close to the set-up zone as my HQ and was surprised to find a whole bunch of Taliban pop up literally under their feet. Lost a 2-man FO team and the sniper guy from the sniper team but wiped out the Taliban. Same thing happened a few meters in front of a couple of armed vehicles. Fortunately all Taliban immediately killed with no loss to crews.
30 minutes in, 1 hour to go. Just about to take the first objective in the LHS town. 6 KIA and 6 WIA. Seems too high % for this operation. Can't help feeling that in RL, the Brits would pull back and have an inquiry at this point. But, since it's a game I guess must soldier on.
Man, I hate heavy casualties. That's what burns me out from playing CM2 on a regular basis. It's the feeling that am not improving my gameplay... and may be getting worse.
As a senior member with > 9K posts - I am supposed to feel better ?
I am a sucker and in love for the ambient settings of the game - anything to do with A*Stan, maybe P*Stan - and nowadays also Iraq and Syria. I love mostly, fast paced tempo SF type of missions. I thought CM engine won't be ideal for this type, and most agree with that remark. However as @Combatintman and a few others have shown, this might not be entirely true. The immersion is fantastic. I just played a random scenario entitled Afghani Stan - and it blew me right away. SF type, ambush - call for air cover and exfil.

It was part of a Ramadi map and the works of @LongLeftFlank I only had a test version, not sure whether its final. lets see if he will receive this shout out, and drop us a reply
Its amazing

Guys, how can I increase my image max total size ? I can't post any more images.

I stumbled on a small made scenario - Afghani stan
Its very well made, small unit selection. It makes me recall most of @Combatintman Op Neptune Spear moments, and others. With a fast moving tempo.
This one is nice, since its literally designed to ambush an upcoming convoy of a US turned Talib, + other terrorist armed militia and soldiers. Just wanted to make a small heads up for those who wish to give it a spin. Do you know who was the designer of this ?
-
Are you working on more talibs / AQ Missions @dragonwynn ? ?
-
CMSF never fails to surprise doesn't it. All of the latest @Sgt.Squarehead mosul scenario and @LongLeftFlank wicked Wednesday - made me re visit @dragonwynn campaign. It's a beauty. I too stalled on mission 2 - I'll try working it as suggested above.
'schwacking' lol makes me remember the movie lone survivor . 'I say schawk 'om '

So has anyone started or completed the 2nd mission. I have gotten schwacked twice...
SPOILERS BELOW...kinda.....................................................
So I start off taking fire from the adjacent ridgetops...DUH, I can use my CAS to take them out, but besides the need to do more suppression fire and maneuver to get to the first set of buildings, has anyone come up with any creative ideas to clear the village? The awesome and infuriating map
would lend itself to an up the middle approach, but I fear that's what the bad guys are expecting and attacking uphill to a crap ton of buildings doesn't have a lot of appeal.
Unfortunately, not sure how to try and outflank anything given the terrain.
Ideas?
So... @grunt_GI got schwacked again in the village ?

Not exactly lions of kandahar.. but damn, it's 2017 - and it seems Talibs and ANA hate each other's guts

A great game/simulation and I cant wait for CMSF2 to be released. Its only the advances to the engine that keeps me from going back at the moment (with the promise of CMSF2). I much prefer the setting to CMBS and the possibility to model so many of the modern day conflicts.
100% in agreement. And hats off to the 'few good men' in this forum who actually develop scenarios for the current CMSF. It's pretty amazing actually... I think some should actually be given the opportunity to assist in developing some of the first CMSFII scenarios. (Unless it's already being done?)

Waiting game. Well - @Sgt.Squarehead & others like @Combatintman have kept us so busy that I (personally) have enough to tackle before CMSFII comes out.
soeaking of which, I recall a few weeks ago someone posted a link full of CM user goodness for .btt - can someone remind me under which thread that was pls.
thanks.
-
So reading other threads.. CMSFII will only come AFTER other modules for other CM series are out ?

Guys, there will be a delay on this one - I lost my Father yesterday so I have to make a fairly long and difficult trip to Europe and will be there for a while. Normal service will resume on my return in about a month or so.
Take care & stay safe man

maybe too much men time here.. need some female characters here. hey, did I read well on some posts - someone might mod female faces to pixeltruppen ?
-
This will give the community plenty of joy until I even start the 1st map for a*stan. BUT it's Saturday - and I have concluded some of my tasks for the week. Rest & will resume work soon
but hey, I'm so looking forward to your mission SS.

True re: the quite. Unfort. I'm correcting three projects of my students back home, and need full attention to get them secure a good mark in Univ.
I promise to have more details very soon. Thanks guys
and yes, Impressive Map
Was this the one you had in mind for the 'Lions' @Combatintman ?

some recent updates from the RL concerning the 'area of operations'
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/operation-medusa-gains-lost-1.4105506
would lend itself to an up the middle approach, but I fear that's what the bad guys are expecting and attacking uphill to a crap ton of buildings doesn't have a lot of appeal.
