CM Cold War - Beta AAR - NO The_Capt or Bil
BrotherSurplice replied to Holien's topic in Combat Mission Cold War
Excellent match and AARs, very entertaining. This has certainly got my mouth watering for CMCW! Although it's a pity that neither side's artillery got much of look in. I was looking forward to seeing the effects of DPICM. -

Task Force Thunder AAR
BrotherSurplice replied to BrotherSurplice's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
Something of a long break between entries, but oh well, let's take a peek at the next mission. The mission is a little more sedate than the last one. The scout platoon of TF Thunder has encountered resistance from dug-in enemy infantry whilst reconnoitring along a small valley through which runs an alternate route of advance, Route Echo. Two rifle platoons from A Company have been appointed to clear the enemy out. We must sweep the enemy off the high ground along the valley and then regroup at the far end. I have an hour to complete my objectives. The enemy is known to be l- 13 replies

Task Force Thunder AAR

Grand, hope you enjoy it 😁 Thks bby ❤️ Yes, the quality of life improvements from the new engine are really nice. And the presence of actual fortifications makes missions like this much more interesting. I agree about the mines, it was highly irritating that I kept my breach team squatting on top of the things for the whole battle and they only spotted one little patch. Thanks, glad you're enjoying it.- 13 replies

Task Force Thunder AAR
BrotherSurplice replied to BrotherSurplice's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
Well, it took longer than expected to put this together, but better late than never, right? My basic plan at this stage is to initially make an attack by fire from the berm, driving them up the ramps into positions where they will be hull down and able to engage the enemy static tanks and fortifications. Meanwhile, the breach team will move to the berm opening and begin looking for mines. 1st Platoon of A Company will be first through the breach. My Fire Support Team calls in the Shadow UAV. Hopefully, this will enable us to ID enemy tanks and strongpoints before my tanks g- 13 replies

Task Force Thunder AAR
BrotherSurplice replied to BrotherSurplice's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 2
Right, let's get cracking. Our first mission is a nice simple one. The invasion of Syria is beginning and TF Thunder is leading the charge. Our target is an old fortress watching the Syria-Iraq border. My forces for this mission are a mech-heavy company team from my battlegroup. Our mission is to occupy the barracks and HQ building of the border fort and to secure the border crossing by destroying the Syrian forces garrisoning the crossing point. The enemy is a reserve infantry battalion, dug in and supported by static T-55/T-54 tanks. The enemy positions have little t- 13 replies

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. This will be an AAR series, covering my playthrough of the US Army campaign of Shock Force 2: 'TF Thunder'. I briefly dipped my toe into this campaign in Shock Force 1, but only as far as the first mission. This will be my first proper playthrough of a Combat Mission campaign, and I'm sharing it all with you! So, without further ado, let's get into the campaign briefing. The ground invasion of Syria has begun. After a three-day-long aerial bombardment, NATO forces are pouring into the country from all sides; The US Army from the

Bundeswehr is looking increasingly threadbare

If you are done making blatantly political statements whilst professing to be apolitical, then sure. -

And you really thought that the best way to do that was to say that NATO is lying about the threat from Russia? -
Afrika Korps or Early War?
BrotherSurplice replied to Mord's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Advancing on a broad front is a little difficult when you have the Mediterranean Sea to your right and an untraversable ocean of sand to your left (or vice versa if you're in the Axis).- 126 replies

What will the next CM be?
BrotherSurplice replied to dmagnusson's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Actually, in academia the definition of terrorism is fairly well defined; it refers to violence committed by non-military actors against non-military and/or civilian targets, with the direct victims not usually the ultimate target. So Commandos and Resistance/Partisans attacking military targets are emphatically not terrorists. Quelle surprise, Hitler was wrong. A helpful source is attached.

British Campaign Briefing Maps
BrotherSurplice replied to DerKommissar's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
In the introductory briefing for the British campaign, it states that the MOD have been scrambling to make new maps for Syria, but in the meantime, they've found some old Soviet-era maps for you to make do with. -
And now the end is near, And so I face the final curtain . . . The time has come for the final assault. The Scimitars trundle forward and start pelting the buildings of the East Yard with 30mm HE. Unfortunately, there is some fratricide as a cannon shell bursts on a tree next to my Javelin men, wounding one. Another mistake, I should have pulled the Javelins back by this point. The APCs of the Command Troop and the leader of the Support Troop zoom up and start hosing down the objective with their machine guns. The scouts charge forward in th
