I don't have CMx2 because I don't have a gaming PC
You don't need a gaming pc for CMx2 as it doesn't depend much on on newer graphic cards.
Download and install the Black Sea or Final Blitzkrieg demo and see how your computer manages with any of those or both.

a non-free CMx1 course
Isn't the best CMx1 (and CMx2) course to just play the games and to watch a few youtube videos and sometimes to ask questions in the thread for the game one is playing? And doing that is something you get for free, except for the cost of the game.
So a non-free course seems unnecessary.

I might be late with this picture, but I think that Putin will be very proud of receiving this price if Finland and Sweden (and maybe even Ukraine) become members of NATO. The question is where should he put it, in his office or in the main entrance?

the TV as Eurovision and Ukraine's entry was playing. The singer gave a shout out to Azovstal and Mariupol.
Tho Politics is invading the Eurovision again? It doesn't surprise me as it has happened before. And Ukraine won on sympathy points from the other countries, or did they actually choose the "best" song this time?

And this is it, you can do plenty of AI plans, if your AI group is entering the enemy kill zone, guess what, it will continue again and again using the same path. There is something missing that more AI plans won't help with.
An human would stop, think and try another path. Plan A, plan B for AI group?
I mentioned something similar a few months ago and thought that the option to sometimes give more AI-movement paths to each AI-group than only one could give the AI the chance to try different ways into an area if the initial one is met with too hard resistance.
Now we can for example change an AI-groups movement path if the enemy enters a trigger in front of the AI-group. But if the change of movement paths could be done based on other situations, for example too much fire from the enemy on a certain spot, the AI would be able to change how to entre an area or "decide" to move around a certain spot to avoid being shot at.
If each change of a movement path was based on different conditions, even the scenario designer wouldn't maybe know which movement path the AI will choose as each time he plays that sequence of the scenario different conditions might be fulfilled.
An option like that would of course mean more work for the designer but could result in more interesting scenarios.

What I wrote above about the Russians acting like the political correctness rabble and copying their behaviour was a joke. But as you took it seriously my comment about your opinion about the Confederate States is that whether or not people like that they wanted to become independent from the crooks in the USA in the 1860s it is a part of the history and those statues help people to remember it.
14 hours ago, Battlefront.com said:...are you equating Russian fascists, who have been raping, murdering, and blowing up Ukraine in a deliberate and coordinated state effort to eradicate an entire people from the face of the Earth, with people exercising their free speech
I'm pretty sure the Russians don't want to eradicate the whole Ukrainian population. The goal with their blowing up of buildings in Ukraine, murdering and raping the people and stealing from them is their way of trying to force the Ukrainians to stop the fighting and to get something to sell on the Russian black market or to give to their girlfriend. USA used exactly the same method in their war against Japan and Vietnam.
So if you try to remember the history of the wars of USA and their (your) attempt to force their democracy (McDonalds, Starbucks etc.) on people of other cultures you should recognice the way of how Russia behaves in Ukraine. It's actually not so different from how North Vietnam was treated by USA. And the same thing had happened 20 years earlier in Germany.

Related to the monument destruction discussion, an interesting compare/contrast. Here is Russia destroying Ukrainian monuments on Ukrainian soil during a war of aggression:
They are just following the stupid political correctness trend that have seen statues being toppled over in other European countries, and also in USA if I'm correct. The Russians are showing that they are exactly like the rest of that rabble and hope to be taken seriously by doing this.

Although Russia doesn't seem to love "The West" they can't deny the popularity and greatness of Spongebob Squarepants. Spongebob surely seems happy to have been invited to the 9th May day.

Can't find the meme picture now, but the idea was roughly
(Russia, knocking on door) "Let me in"
(Finland) "Why?"
(Russia) "I'm going to protect you"
(Finland) "Protect me from what?"
(Russia) "From what I'm going to do to you if you don't let me in"The exact same procedure that some criminals use in their racketeering to be employed as the "security" for pubs in UK, and other countries, so they can use those pubs as the base for their drug dealing.

It's a Russian billboard celebrating their veterans. That's an American soldier.
The Soviets did get a lot of help from the USA and Britain so they could have an easier fight against the Germans. So why not share the celebrity with the US veterans?
And I don't know which of the Allies that killed most German civilians, but I think it was the US and British bomber squads. They did what actually were a war crime although they got away with it.
So maybe the Russians find that to be enough reason to have a US soldier on the banner now when they themselves are doing the same in Ukraine.

I would use the term "We can only speculate". It's obviously the Smurfs that have become confused and see Putin as Gargamel threatening Smurfette. She is partly yellow and blue after all.

We're getting close to May 2022 and still no Cold War demo. What are they waiting for before they decide to put the demo on the Battlefront website? Is it the pbem+ thingie that isn't working as expected?

I was wondering if it was because i attempted to change the stock map from an assault to a meet/engage.
That change shouldn't affect the movement of the AI-troops.
The only reason to why the AI-troops don't move must be either that the AI-troops have the order to start moving a bit later or that you have forgotten to disable some of the AI-plans which are without movement and action orders.
It isn't enough to remove the orders in an AI-plan, you also have to make sure that the AI-plans are disabled so they won't get loaded in the quick battle.
There is the option for an AI-plan to be used often, to be used sometimes and to not be used at all. So you should pick the choice which makes sure that the AI-plans you don't want to use are disabled and not used at all.

a Syrian BMP decided after detecting an AT unit to speed forward towards the AT unit rather than back a couple meters to get out of its line of fire.
The BMP-crew had probably had a Russian instructor ans used the same solution as Soviet tank crew did during WW2 in a bid to crush the AT-gun under it.

Have you checked the AI movement orders in the editor to see whether some of the AI-troops have been given an order to start moving a bit later?

Oh good. So that means we're soon back to the see the usual headlines we've all missed so much. I'm talking about celebrities and their pitty problems and the royal family.

For future reference, and advise for anyone else who's fortunate to get a warning ... the proper response to a post like I made is "sorry. My bad" and quitely move on. OR say nothing.
That is straight talk and no soft tunes from the central scrutinizer of this forum.
I just about came back from sitting in the penalty box for five days.
I can't promise that I'll adhere to those words though. It will probably depend on the situation. And if I'm sent off to the penalty box for five days, I'll have to use that time of rest to consider my sins.

They carried all these goods by trucks. One of this truck, couldn't reach the border. Its seen, it carried three washing machines
I can imagine Russian soldiers going into an empty house, seeing a washing machine and go "Ey rebjata! Smotri-ka stolko veshej. Vse nam na khaljavu! Stiralka moja" Russians seem to love things they get "na khaljavu".

Dude, stop please. Let's not go off the rails
I didn't go off road anywhere or in any way. LongLeftFlank asked a question and I answered him with a history lection with information which should be common knowledge by now. But because of political correctness this information seems to be frowned upon.

Russia truly went to hell IMHO when they lost their Jews...
Wasn't it the jews that had been put into positions to control the different Soviet production facilities and factories that later on stole them from the Russian people and became the oligarcs? And if you're talking before the Bolshevism, wasn't it the jews that were 80% of the Bolshevik/Leninist-Stalinist Communist leadership and stole the freedom, factories and production facilities from the people although the communists talked about the workers' equality?
If you're talking these days with new sanctions to let the Russian people suffer for what the oligarcs and Russian government have cooked up together, I'm sure the oligarc jews still are in the background although some of them might have went to other countries on a long vacation.
So I don't think Russia ever lost their jews.

The Pentagon announces $300 million in new security assistance to Ukraine. Some interesting things in this.
It's going to be interesting to see how many million dollars that go into the pockets of greedy Ukrainian officials all right.

Go to Gumtree, or similar, and look for a gaming laptop or a gaming pc there and haggle heavily on the price. It's sometimes surprisingly easy to find sellers that are willing to accept what one wants to pay, or quite close to it.
Wouldn't it be more challenging and fun if you yourself did the teaching while trying to sound like a woman?
