How did you know I made it? I'm not the only RobZ in the world.
Made what? I was just suggesting a name for a CM mod

Just make sure your king doesn't 't charge the Ruskies without armour this time

That rather complicates matters for you.....How soon do the Hinds become available?
Immediately it's just I did not know where his men were and I'm not keen on strafing potentially empty hills

Source bias based on preconceived notions. If you are looking for sources to support your own preconceived notions rather than verifying if your notions are valid, it leads to interesting places.
arguing with an experienced tanker over the merits of the engine in said tank is not a great idea, but it does lead to interesting posts from @panzersaurkrautwerfer So I guess I should say thank you?
thank you @LUCASWILLEN05
True, It's a shame though because dying on a hill over "Abrams a ****" is one of the worst to die on

I have a feeling you guys are wasting your key strokes...
Not necessarily, Lucas may not have paid enough attention to realize Sparks is a raving hack lunatic

Great video. One can almost simulate this in CMSF since we have wonderful Muj's and Uncon mods. Not sure if Syrians can be modded to look like Russians.
I thought SS was playing the AI at first. Seemed odd that a 2nd and 3rd convoy would advance into a known ambush. Also,
Am assuming than the Russians can only win by reorienting from a "Convoy Mission" to an "Assault Mission". ie Get the trucks back to some sort of safety and reorg the combat troops?
Once one knows the bridge is mined, that makes the bridge pretty much impassible. Not sure what the point was of trying to cross it after the first explosions.
I mistook them for RPG fire so that is why I tried to cross, getting that first BMD over, was a rookie mistake of thinking it could hold down the other side.
I would have re organised except there were mujahideen over looking the convoy entrance point -

Savage!
The Mujahideen seem to have an awful lot of men and trucks are a bloody liability in CM:A, they can't even carry nasty surprises.
Spot on about the Hinds, as a Blue commander once you hear 'That Sound', it's time to head for the exit-zones!
While it is true that there are a lot of Mujahideen, that should be no problem

It's just amazing how time after time all of our precise smart bombing inevitably leads to more casualties than Russian barbaric "smersh" that goes specifically after hospitals (as if they hold any military value). Look at the results of bombing campaigns in WW2. Vietnam vs Afghanistan. Syria vs Iraq and a clear pattern emerges - our actions result in higher number of dead civilians than anyone elses'. I am not even talking about the strategic results of our recent campaigns than have plunged already volatile middle-east into the middle ages....
Now don't get me wrong, I love my country and I love my armed forces. I truly believe and even somewhat know it to be a fact that our servicemen have truly cared to minimize the civilian suffering; but guess what - war is a bitch and this type of "clean war" (that some of the members on this forum seem to buy into) is just an illusion sold to us by those who want us to focus all our attention on Russia (I am not saying that we should apply no scrutiny to them either) while they continue to play their power games with no winner in sight... But hey - Yahoo Finance might not exactly publish that line of thought.
What really bothers me is that the rest of the world knows what we are doing perfectly well and just because they are not saying anything does not mean that they are not making conclusions...
I'm not American nor did I quote "Yahoo Finance" but ok there champ

I see no facts, show me the links.....I suspect if you investigate thoroughly you might find things are other than you imagine.
Remember, this doesn't mean just finding the first article on Google that supports your preconceived assumption, rather it means looking at all the sources and making a judgement based on the weight of evidence and balance of probability.
Which sources?The ones that unapologetically savage the US for ineptitude openly while they (The US) own up to ****ing up? http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-pentagon-hospital-airstrike-20160428-story.html
Or the ones that deny unequivocally that The Russian Air force double tapped a hospital? https://www.rt.com/news/332603-syria-hospital-accusations-denial/
A Nation that can own up to its **** ups is one I'd rather trust
-
well just quickly let's get back to your quote for a second "look at how various media groups covered the (equally tragic) bombings of hospitals in Kabul and Aleppo."
Now let's check the responses of both nations
Kabul US: "Yeah we seem to have done this, sorry we will investigate fully."
Aleppo RU: "No we didn't **** off."
Also does that 'alternative perspective' refer to the perspective one has when flying a Russian jet over a hospital? -

Do hospitals/schools etc. get hit in war, especially in an urban scenario? Of course they do. It's a sad fact of life, I've even tried to depict it in my own CM:SF scenarios.
It's when we start trying to assign intent that we run into a problem, 'possibly it's deliberate' or 'possibly it isn't'. Looking at it objectively I tend to think that neither side would actually be so stupid (assuming we accept that such actions are counterproductive) and that those with an agenda are very probably using these issues to their advantage.....This cuts both ways, look at how various media groups covered the (equally tragic) bombings of hospitals in Kabul and Aleppo.
I know, I hate how Russia Today has covered the conflict, making it even more blatant that they are an arm of Moscow

Nope, just the Russians.....That seems to be a widespread problem these days and it's utterly ridiculous. "Look at what the Russians are up to!" has become the universal method of distracting attention from one's own culpability, it's pathetic.
You admit that the Russians do it, then?

Have to say that's a new one on me.....In my part of the world it means being a total douchebag in a pub-fight.
You do seem to have a bit of a polarity issue sid, or are you suggesting that it's only Russia that f***s up in war.....Pretty confident the population of Mosul, Falluja, Ramadi etc. etc. etc. would thoroughly disagree.
They are very far from alone there.
I never mentioned anyone else

It's not like the Russians have a history of doing stuff like this

Nice hat!
Did you get any of the expansion modules for the game.....Depending on what you bought there is a vast array of user made output at the repository:

I've got the marines module and plan to get the other two later, Thanks for pointing out the repository I didn't know that existed

I've been recommended this game for months and finally got it today, I must say I love the setting and can't wait to be more active on here and pick up the other games
Is Russia Overpowered In Black Sea?
in Combat Mission Black Sea

In light of recent events I think this is a great idea, I'm astounded at the capabilities of the Ukrainians and lack of for the Russians.
I hope that we can have a robust discussion about this and Steve considers the possibilities more accurate representation can bring
