While on the attack, against prepared defensive positions, I used a squad of engineers to blow a hole in some barbed wire to clear a blocked bridge. The explosives went off as expected, but what I wasn't expecting was every single member of the squad getting blasted with it.
If this isn't a bug (I'm trying to think of how it could be, considering how many times I've blasted before in CM without issue), is there any situation anyone here knows of that could cause this?
There's an imgur link to screenshots of it. One interesting thing with this is that the two man scout team next to the engineers were unharmed.

Unconventional warfare is what I've been wanting to see on CMx2 3.0
That being said, the uncon stuff in Shock Force with an up-to-date QB system would do it for me.

Seeing the all the references to Red Dawn reminds me of my own plan to make scenarios or a campaign of a bogus Russian invasion of the US East Coast (an excuse to make maps near my home). Would love to see a fight to take Three Mile Island.
I just need to figure out how to use the map editor well. I'm going to give TMI a try right now, and see what happens.

The autocannon armed version will likely be a better choice for direct fire support, both as a dedicated platform, and as a "upgun" Stryker modification.
As far as Black Sea goes, the autocannon on the battle taxi was a good move for the Russians. Those BTR-80s and 82s with the 30mm cannons have caused so much pain in my time playing.

Nukes are so 21st Century....photon torpedos would be my choice, lets see an APS counter one of those babys.
It's simple, make sure the APS is covering the thermal exhaust port

I think that actually was a positive response. At least I choose to take it that way in lieu of anything telling me different.
Yeah, those changes all look like good things
I've been playing QBs with a buddy, and was hoping for some of those bullet points (rarity on APS, cost change for crap vs shiny and new vehicles). It sounds like QBs should be a lot more fun, especially as the Ukrainians, if the old BMP-2 and BTR-70 are more useful for the cost.

I played against someone once, who used fraps to take a screenshot of the map from above. He then drew out his plan on the image. It was pretty cool, and I find myself doing it every now again.
If you could get the image file onto a tablet, with some drawing functions (not sure what's available for tablets, as far as software goes), then you'd at least have something.

Backgrounds from a movie filmed in the UK, that takes place in Germany, for a game that takes place in France and The Netherlands.
How deep does the rabbit hole go?
(they're now in my installation, as I love them)

If you want to try difficult gunnery, take the Australian Leopard 1 for a spin.

I don't think it is possible to mod in new equipment, or TOEs to the current CMx2 games. You could alter how different units look, such as making Japanese-esque uniforms, but it won't change how they perform.

Welcome to the forum, Mhiester. Nice video.
Thanks man. I've played CM since just after Normandy came out, so I figured it was about time I joined the fourm.
The AI are really good at shooting around ERA it seems

Thought I'd drop by for my first post here
What could cause blasting to kill the entire engineer squad?
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

Briefing said there were mines in the area. Didn't even think of that.
