Introduce some delay between the time an order is given to a unit and the time the order is executed by this unit. Introduce what I would call the "fear concept". A veteran/elite unit knowing what they are doing (they have been trained) may refuse to do an order, risking their lives.

Adam Tooze's "The Wages of Destruction" was also an interesting book regarding WW2. I am waiting "Crashed" traduction in my native language otherwise it would be to complicate for me to read.

Thank you all for your useful replies. What a great community.

The following topic may give you an answer on the current price policies as far as I understand it. In your case, you may have an interest to reorder the complete CMSF2 bundle for the DVD / paper manual option.

Hi all, I would like some advice regarding artillery support. Each time I am facing a scenario with multiple support assets, I am wondering which one is the best for the support mission I would like to do. Do you have some advices on when using what between the following? 60mm mortar 81mm mortar 120mm mortar 105mm howitzer 122mm howitzer 130mm field gun 155mm howitzer What is the major difference between a mortar and a howitzer and a field gun? Sorry, I realize this may be some basic questions for you. Cheers

Definitely agree with what you are saying. The reason I am asking for the manual is more for all the stuff that have changed in the editor compared to CMSF1. That would be useful to have it near you.

You guys should stop alcohol. You are seeing pink elephands.

Honestly each module brings additional content that is useful for designing various tactical (now historical) situation. Technicals were bring with Nato module for example. Syrian airborne by British one. If you have the possibility, do not limit yourself. Buy everything !!! And you should try the British scenario from @Combatintman

Well I am not sure of my answer. But, if I have understood correctly, preordering SF2 plus all modules is 120 instead of 165. SF2 will be sold 165 after release. At the beginning of this thread, you have the upgrade prices. http://community.battlefront.com/topic/126835-the-state-of-cmsf2/ You have to upgrade SF1 base game: 15 You have to upgrade SF1 Marines module: 10 You have to buy SF2 British module: 35 You have to buy SF2 Nato module: 35 So a total cost of 95 instead of 120. Hope this helps.

Yes thank you. Looking at these screenshots I was wondering myself if it was not SF2 ...

We are not at the end of September !!!!! Sing with me ...

And have them act as if you were a member of each unit and could lose your life. Best quote is "Don't be in a rush to die" from Jeffrey Paulding's tactics video series.

I am surprised by the number of view so far for this video. Only 1120 ... This is really a niche market.

@Badger73 has also compiled a useful list of things to read for scenario design. It is here: http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/forums/cm2-scenario-design-section.444/

This makes me think of something. Will the 35$ upgrade allow you to purchase DVD and the paper manual ?

A secret project !!!

I am not the author of this video. However, may I suggest to add it to the FAQ? I find it useful for a newbie.

Not at all, I am playing CMSF1 scenario meanwhile. One of my US squads discovers Uncons hidden in a trench. Firefight of course. Then, I saw one of the Uncons doing the move to throw a grenade. I said internally 'oh my ...' But, at this exact moment, the Uncon guy was touched by a bullet and the grenade went onto the ground. Explosion, two more bad guys out... Boring? no. Entertaining? completely. End of september is not yet there. They have still time to polish the beast...

Thank you so much @Combatintman

Great !!!

My goal is to design several scenario for CMSF2 taking the historical background of this civil war. Too early for a campaign I am afraid. I prefer to start with something little. I am reading plenty of stuff right now to give me some ideas of interesting things to translate into scenario. I think I have all the necessary equipments (RED tanks / technicals) to do something not too far away from history. Perhaps will miss some NATO air assets like Tiger helicopters but an Apache is not too bad after all. Of course, this will be RED vs RED

Well, I have done few tests. Take a squad on the ground (not inside a vehicle). Split it and leave the two teams untouched. It will take approximately 15 seconds to recombine the squad automatically. Now, take two teams of the same squad in separate ground areas. Ask one of the team to go on the same square than the other one. It will take approximately 3 seconds to recombine the squad automatically. In terms of UI, the split buttons are there, they are just greyed out when the squad is inside the vehicle. Why not do exactly the same than when the squad is outside the vehicle? Splitting a squad inside a vehicle, you have 15 seconds to do something with the team of your choice before an automated merge. And, when the team is back in the vehicle, 3 seconds later it is merged in its squad if everybody there. I do not know what it does represent in terms of code. But, all the LEGO pieces are there.

Indeed

Thank you - something to add to my wish list then. But, less important than the ability to split squad inside vehicles. I would like to dismount a scout team not an entire squad if needed to limit exposure. I know there is a workaround for this but really implementing split squad inside vehicles will allow flexibility since there are four possible squad split options.

Where is the luftwaffe ?
