Are the Valentines in F&R mods of a more powerful AFV or a historical reflection of the real thing? If it is a mod it really gives the Russian player an advantage.

Modern Era but the principle to seize a terrain objective. Scenario 'The Full Monty'. One thing about the US they formulate some good tactics. Here I used the acronym RISS. The compound was engaged by Recon By Fire (Warrior APC's), Isolated by Artillery and Apache Helicopters Secured and Seized by a squad of sappers. Crack Troops+1+1. The lesson don't expose units if the area to be seized is not isolated. The Recoilless Cannon was captured on the Groundfloor. The recon by fire paid off. Our APC was not engaged.

I like that idea with a note of the level you play.

Point taken regard them as hypothetically 'boobytraps'.

RISS Recon Isolate Secure and Seize. It seems to isolate each house or building is the problem. My complaint is the balconies which results that so-called Elite Troops don't make basic common sense decisions.

Abseiling also becomes a feature? We can't make the Iranian Embassy Assault at presence. The other features attics and establishing fire positions inside buildings.

Sorry I thought you were replaying all of the campaign.

The UAV RQ-7B Shadow in Task Force Thunder still needs a direct LOS for the FO Operator. I would have thought that he would be able to plot artillery missions from his APC without exposing himself on the embankment. *Spoilers* he went unnoticed during the battle I am just wondering as I tried to keep him inside his vehicle.

It is diabolical you need to check after every turn especially the infantry. Binoculars facing the wall 2meters away. TBH I don't know or it influences the spotting ability on the computer.

Use the 25-pounders to lay a smoke screen on the right side (Linear). The smoke will drift across his key defenses. *SPOILERS* Right across his PAK-75. You need the spotter imbedded with the infantry. The 25 Pounder light and long barrage so that you have the opportunity to adjust fire. Adjust fire right in front of the vision slits. It is an attrition battle can't be helped. The Churchills use the roads in the back only.

Will follow that right now I don't have the foggiest what it is about

I have an opponent who I play once a week on Hotseat by visiting each other. TBH I never played over the internet and have no plans to do so. I just read some of the issues on The Few Good Men Website. I would like to make some contribution by Scenario Design which is something I only played with. Kind regards and thanks for your reply.

PBEM means Play BY E Mail. It is not as straight forward as that. You have different skill levels, house rules, mods not compatible, systems which can't handle the files etc. Then you need a Dropbox account for some reason. The hardest I think is to find an opponent who plays on your wavelength. I am not holding my breath.

Here at the start of the video you see it actually traversing 3.5 seconds is certainly fast. The gunner first power traverse the turret and he follow with a final manual adjustment.

True and 'Free Anti Virus' software. I just use the standard stuff. No problems so far.

Napoleon is remembered for his administration which survives to this day. Napoleonic Code (Law), Conserved Foods Logistics, The Metric System. Tactically light artillery which was ignored by Marshall Ney one of the contributing factors of the Battle for Waterloo.

You need the updated RT to be able F&R. The updated RT shows F&R Scenarios Dimmed Grey. By entering the F&R key you will have access to the complete game.

Only pointing out the physics involved. To get rid of your scuba gear maybe harder than to strip of your boots and tank helmet. Your clothes may very well aid you in buoyancy. How long does it take to exit a tank during an emergency? I imagine you have to wait sometime till the tank is flooded before you can attempt to open the escape hatches. If you design a tank to negotiate a riverbed it should include the means to escape. Helmets and your boots I wouldn't bother about the coveralls.

Yes, it is worth noting if a vehicle fills the air will have a higher pressure. You need to exhale during your ascent. It is almost impossible to drown. We had at the time drop the scuba gear at a depth of ten meters. Ascend with your mouth wide open and a big bubble escapes. Once on the surface a free dive to pickup the gear and put it back on. An AFV needs a means to open an exit under pressure escaping becomes childsplay. It requires training I imagine the panic the first time in that situation without training.

Te construction of a hatch which could open under water pressure wouldn't be too hard. After the tank fills up with water the crew can ascent in the same manner as a scuba diver. It was suggested a depth of not more than 2 meters which is feasible. The better solution is the editor just makes a few more crossing points.

The SU-76M could also be used as conventional artillery in other words indirect fire and used by an FO in that role. A little like the German Wespe but with a smaller caliber.

CM2 can't also get rid of it. It depends on the player. Infantry out of contact spots AT gun the map automatically updates, and the AT gun's sandbags, trenches or foxholes become visible. Big deal that the FO out of contact with the spotting units can't sight the AT-Gun itself. BF should stop to sell the game as a simulation which it is not. To make it a simulation depends on you the player. Regretfully I noticed a bias against Soviet equipment especially in F&R in which Lend &Lease Valentines are just about as effective if not more than ISU152 and T34/85's. I am not only who noticed this. In the Campaign Lend & Lease Shermans can use smoke shells the Soviet tanks can't. Sorry I see it as silly politics.

Prep time is according to the Website 20 minutes for fording to the same depth as infantry. We can play this better in the set-up zone. Deep, deeper and deepest water fording with main battle tanks. (narkive.com)

I uninstalled RT3 and installed the updated RT&FR with no problems using the standard Windows Apps. I think it is the third party bloatware causing the problems nowadays. I am not 100% IT saffy however I use the same IT people in the neighbourhood to fix my stuff.

Mountains of the Moon weather says 'mist' or does the author mean fog? Here the Soviets fight the Dutch SS the infantry spots a dug in PAK 75 mm from over a km away. I have the screenshot in my thread. AT guns are deemed to be camouflaged it is a tall order to spot something like that at a kilometer. The PAK 75 mm didn't engage armour possibly infantry which would be a tactical error in my book.
