the FSB got their hands on plans that the AU used to crush the Russian army, they are actively looking for their author....
I have an idea but I won't say anything !!!😉
You will excuse a little humor in this thread,
It's just to say thank you to the speakers, I think that in a few years this could be used for a historical study to analyze how the new media have modified the perception of a war

If you desire to give this small new scenario a try...
Play as Axis vs Allied AI. I want to eventually, soon, make a version for play as allies vs axis AI.

AFRIKA LUIGI ASSAULTS PIERRE
It is just after sunrise on another hazy summer day in the Libyan desert. The wind is light from the north. You are just east of the Free French lines at Bir Hakeim. Several mechanized attacks have failed to breach the enemy line. It is now your turn...
You are Tenente Enrico Fossatoro of the Guastatori attached to the Pavia Infantry Division. Your assault engineer platoon was ordered to conduct a night infiltration to penetrate into the French perimeter. 1 breach team has made it through the outer wire, through the anti-tank mines and is now just inside the inner wire right near a French trench.
The French are well dug in. They have good noise discipline and have mostly held their fire to conserve ammunition. They have at least 1 light machine gun and several submachineguns. 
Achieve Points by reaching several hidden touch objectives along the enemy's main line and by destroying enemy units. Clear out the enemy positions and defend against any French counterattack. If you can keep below 10% casualties for your own side, you get a parameter bonus. You have 20 minutes to achieve your mission.

Hot Time in Hatten. Avenue of approach through the back streets. I am afraid in the past I did too much micromanagement. Not this time couple of way points and I didn't split the squad. It looked like the 'Hunt' command was designed for this.
 
 

Recently completed the "Operation Encore" campaign. Loved it. Here's some choice shots:




I compiled all my experiences into a very brief, very general overview for my blog. You can read about it here: https://rinaldiaars.blogspot.com/2022/02/combat-mission-fortress-italys.html. I've also included a link to the full gallery of all the screens. It should go without saying but, obviously, spoilers!

Panzerschreck in action. 



At least he got out of it alive. 
 
 

Again, playing around with @kohlenklau's & @Suchy's mods & content...
 

So think about the comfort of your men and used :

Julia made a very good insight into why Ukraine happened and what might happen next. I worked with her some years ago - can only say the best things about her.
I wanted to post this yesterday but it seems it didn't go through. Posting (again) because it is a really good/concise piece on why Ukraine happened.
 
Also, what is the consensus of you guys - was the soviet era unmanned survaillance plane that crashed in Zagreb, Croatia, owned by Russia or Ukraine? 
 

It was during the Battle of Normandy and in particular during Operation Cobra that the Americans successfully applied the tactic of getting on the tanks.

Here is an excerpt from "Busting the Bocage" of Michael Dale Doubler

This is indeed a question worth asking.
Apart from a blissful angelism, I think that for 20 years Putin for economic and strategic reasons has placed men of his own in Europe, one can wonder for exemple about the presence of European politics within Russian companies that do lobing with European institutions
Germany looks particularly affected, as does France
But you are not exempt from its infiltrations in your economic and political spheres.

A piece of unique on the ground reporting came in to me today. I have in my possession a never before seen picture of Zelensky drafting his official response to Putin's recent speech:

(for those not in the know)

Plus I think I see 'news' here about a day before I see it on the BBC.  Other news outlets are of course available.

oh don't get me wrong, I do understand and I sympathize.  I just think for Ukraine it is also a political act to show that the gov't is still exercising authority. It maintains the moral high ground and shows despite the coloring on the map the various talking heads are showing that Ukraine is still exercising authority and dispensing justice as a sovereign state.
As to that other discussion of the Russian artillery groups.  As far as I am concerned it is no different than lasing them for a JDAM.  Send em to hell. the Spec Ops groups are there for one purpose, to eliminate the threat.  They aren't in a position to take prisoners and those arty crews could just go man another arty piece. That is assuming the Russian could get replacements there...
