[China vs Taiwan please?]

CSIS doing some wargaming on the opening salvos...

Quote

CSIS developed a wargame for a Chinese amphibious invasion of Taiwan and ran it 24 times. In most scenarios, the United States/Taiwan/Japan defeated a conventional amphibious invasion by China and maintained an autonomous Taiwan. However, this defense came at high cost. The United States and its allies lost dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and tens of thousands of servicemembers. Taiwan saw its economy devastated. Further, the high losses damaged the U.S. global position for many years. China also lost heavily, and failure to occupy Taiwan might destabilize Chinese Communist Party rule. Victory is therefore not enough. The United States needs to strengthen deterrence immediately.

A good read at the big-hands-small-map level.

Great read once again - thanks!

These are great - please carry on!

Just can't keep those SLAgs down - looking forward to the rest, beeron!

I love this stuff - thanks for sharing!

There's a 3.3 floating around!

[M-47 Dragon, in the table of organization and equipment]

If memory serves, the assessed survivability of Dragon teams in a major conflict was meant to be quite low - although you've got to wonder what your average GI/motostrelok's statistics were too.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to trying out the popcorn of death in CM!

Almost too late for the time period, but reportedly a big hit with Soviet tankers. Great track, either way.

The World in Conflict OSTs seem apt to drop in here!

Spetsnaz is my favourite track.

Cameron McDonald,

I tried Fiverr, but the only voice talent (can do Russian and Ukrainian) is female. This may be a deal breaker unless you can take those files and shift them into a male register. If I come across someone, I'll let you know.

Regards,

John Kettler

Thanks John, your reply is much appreciated.

The good news is that I managed to track down sufficient Russian speakers to get the job done! The scenario is here, if anyone would like to give it a go. You'll need the RHS and CUP modpacks, as well as CBA (links after the jump).

...I'm still looking for talent for future scenarios, so please, if you do find anyone willing, drop me a line.

[...any aspiring voice actors out there?]

G'day all.

I've enjoyed making SP scenarios in the ArmA series in my spare time, for example, this one.

I've got a scenario involving spetznas sabotaging CDF equipment in Chernarus circa 2009 that is technically finished, but I need three voice actors who either speak Russian (or are willing to take a tilt at some Russian transliterated into English) to polish it off. Two parts are small (one-two lines each) and one is considerable (around 15 lines).

No prior experience required and I'll provide all the details.

Please, if you're interested (or you know someone who may be), drop me a PM, reply below or contact me here.

That's right, I was talking about Quick Battles, not scenarios.

Ah, there you go. My bad!

[Computer Forces]

I thought this was controlled by the map, i.e. specified by the scenario author.

Would be a bit of a PITA to control if it was random.

[Task Force Spartan Resolve]

Ah, an update! Awesome.

Finished M1 earlier today, had a blast. Nice to be dealing with small units for a change.

Thanks mate!

[Kieme's modding corner]

Awesome, thanks!

["Little stalingrad" WIP- Donetz Airport battle]

Why are they called "Cyborgs exactly"?

 

From what I've read, the reasoning was that they were outnumbered, outgunned, soaked up tonnes of punishment and still managed to fight back, somewhat akin to...

 

[Kieme's modding corner]

Ah, thanks for the consolidated links!

[Kieme's modding corner]

Thanks Kieme! I'm looking forward to the whole Russian complement making it in.

[Force Specific Backgrounds]

Awesome - thanks!

[Kieme's modding corner]

Thank you for your continuing awesomeness, Kieme! I just installed the latest two.

 

I see that BTR's standard color mod for the Russians is out. IIRC, you were holding off on weathering the Russian vehicles due to your not liking their base color and not wanting to take the time to mod it as well.

 

Now that his mod is available, do you have any plans to perhaps use it as a base for adding weathering and such to the Russian vehicles as you have done for the other factions?

^ ...that'd be excellent!

I think in low-end-right corner, there is register button.

 

There we go, thanks. I see it's only accessible from the login screen.
