  1. I am not sure it was from the Loamshires scenario and it is the Recon unit. TBH I didn't pay much attention, I used to call them all Bren Carriers, don't know the difference. It just says carrier platoon.
  2. Lots of those problems are solved if you play on Iron. During the replay phase you can see which units can spot friendly units. Keeping units in C2 comes more natural now and fight as a formation and not as individuals. I just noticed playing as US how much better a Hellcat spots on par with infantry. He had a strong tentative contact the Sherman nearby didn't. But I let the Sherman fire at the same building as they shared the same C2. The superior 75 mm HE took out the MG42.
  3. Much appreciated now it has been properly explained.
  4. I just use the limitations of the game. If you need to communicate climb on the engine deck of a T34 or an IS2 tank. I don't think that is written in any manual. I think the US solution was neat by picking up a telephone like device on the back of an M4 Sherman.
  5. It is Maslow Pyramid a widely accepted theory. The problem is on the end of the day Esteem (Candidates for Office) and the Self Actualization (Talent and Intellectuals) will run the show. They are the people falling out of windows under a dictatorship.
  6. I play for some time Soviet WW2 and command and control is very much like advanced WW1. I found the snipers more useful as runners with the game limitations. The Company needs to fight as a formation and contacts need to communicated asap. So with their armor the tank radio in a T34 is more important than the gun. Armor is the communication hub and the teams of the Regimental HQ also need to be attached to their armor. Maybe this is inappropriate formations but innovations work. I welcome the day that field telephones will be modelled till then I have to use inappropriate formations. I found your post interesting.
  7. Which is all wrong. This mission takes careful planning. Read the briefing very careful then read it again. The game makes you think and you can deploy anywhere on the Red marked area on your side of the river. Study very careful and communications is vital even with the lack of radios.
  8. You find him where I put the Yellow Square.
  9. You got an FO. Find the Flamethrower Platoon, click the 5th Flamethrower then click the (+Key) on your Keyboard and you have him. He doesn't belong to any other formation.
  10. Somebody once said I lead the 6th Panzer Division because we have only 6 tanks left. Here you go that is how they did it.
  11. According to Wikipedia No 2 is the assistant and carries 3 HEAT Grenades while the first gunner carries 2 HEAT Grenades But in your administration panel there is only one projectile. Could be that you could acquire more projectiles from your IFV. I am not 100% with modern warfare.
  12. Key Terrain is relative depending on the unit. It is a spot which provides cover and concealment for the task at hand. For a scout it is different than from his Regimental HQ. For the scout the KT is his commander's intent his KT is to carry out his commander's intent and staying alive.
  13. I had the recon crew acquire the weapons from a universal carrier. Scenario the Loamshires.
  14. You don't need air superiority to destroy a bridge nowadays. Is the airplane becoming obsolete?
  15. If they stay technically at war they won't be able to join NATO. Something for the bureaucrats inside NATO to solve.
  16. When you get a clear incidence of an act of war you can't wish for it to go away. A dictator will take the go away wishers as weaklings. The plain truth is decent people can't go back to do business with the Kremlin.
  17. I watched a movie on Netflix about him, very enjoyable. To become a millionaire during WW2 is a hard act to follow.
  18. This guy cheated Goring saw it as his patriotic duty. But he fooled all the experts by painting the old masters himself. Died in 1947 imagine what he could do with Photoshop?
  19. They invented Valhalla the hall with broadminded tarts and plenty of booze. No problem if you died fighting.
  20. Imo opinion it is not cheating. The Old Masters had their toys too. Camera Obscura literally Dark Room, the Master sat inside his Dark Room and a Peephole reflected the image of his subject upside down on a White Wall. With mirrors the Master traced this image on canvas. That is how some photographic like images were painted in the 17th Century. More or less the same we do with Software on the computer.
