  1. Leave units well outside it LOF the Lend Lease Valentine was more useful in one of my battles.
  2. Not canceling a barrage is on top of my list. Move my units right into it.
  3. Reason Russia is eventually going to lose it. They ignore completely the civilians once they invade. What we say in Australia a good fence makes a good neighbour. The Soviets had one it was called the Iron Curtain the problem was it run through Germany.
  4. When I went to the States, they thought I was an Australian and not a Dutchman. Last time I was in the Netherlands people who spoke English to me never thought I was born a local. Sad Amsterdam in summertime half the time you heard other languages mostly English. I still speak Dutch and conversational German. Now I follow Aussie rules and not the Euro Cup. Russians who moved to the Ukraine should see themselves as Ukrainian and not Russian. Here is where the problem is good old-fashioned Chauvinism. Ukrainians got every right to expect other nationalities to speak their language if they choose to live on their territory.
  5. If you migrate there are only two options. Give up your old citizenship and assimilate or go back where you came from. Never forget where you came from but assimilate in your new country. Just remember where you left your footprints. Plenty of other people think otherwise and they are not appreciated.
  6. Discussion about logistics, a German opinion. The Google translator does a decent job. Logistics don't win wars but without logistics you can't win a war..
  7. I see Russia as an out-of-control airliner with the pilot suddenly gone nuts. Hopefully it has a retired pilot onboard, oh wait that one just died of old age. One of the passengers could be guided to land with some help. Nobody is helped if it crashes on one of our cities. Our ideal situation would be Russia withdraws from Ukraine and pays Ukraine for all the damage it caused. I am not holding my breath.
  8. I like this guy, who I find objective. It is hard to decide who to follow on You Tube.
  9. Standard excuse we faced three burley men and feared for our lives. Will be drilled into their subconsciousness by some lawyer supported by the NRA. We had an Australian woman called the police officers because an altercation near her house. Naturally she behaved like an Australian woman addressed the police and got shot by the officer who feared for his life. He has been released from prison recently. Better stick to the Ukraine here.
  10. Probably told by some drunks to speak English. It doesn't take much there.
  11. Yes, you need to set a waypoint just before a hedgerow and just behind it. The same for small bridges. Anyway that is my solution which seems to work.
  12. Yes, it was introduced in Engine 4 as units split according to terrain. You need to keep an eye on it as some units can get lost.
  13. You need to go on POV so work with Camera Position 1. Base of Fire on the right maneuver on the left. Once the HMGs suppresses the Germans it is game over for the Germans. Your mortars will obscure the German assets which will enable to deploy the HMGs. Road to Mounteburg is an excellent introduction to CM.
  14. Russian paratrooper flees to France denouncing army 'chaos' (msn.com)
  15. Some illustrations for the above. Note you can split unit before mounting a tank. Give the tank a move order and a infantry unit a dismount order before mounting the scout unit. The units will remained split on the engine deck. It takes experimenting before you will get it right. The split scout gets a minus 2 his comrades a will keep their plus 2. Note the radio icon the C2 will pass on also to the ISU 152mm where the other members of the platoon are mounted.
  16. As far as I can tell it doesn't make any difference. WW2 RT becomes a game changer by placing infantry on engine decks the C2 becomes on par with other allied units. Tip let the armor travel on hunt and give the infantry a dismount order. The moment a tank receives full contact it stops, and the infantry dismounts automatically. Soviet attacks should be armor based with tank riding infantry. Spotting ability depends on experience veteran are best in this role. Equipment re binoculars troops with a minus are beneficial for scouting they evade the moment a hunting tank stops.
  17. Yess but these are old Dutch APC's (M113)of which a contibutor of a previous post wrote these have only a BMG .50. An IFV in a tank role would be BPM 2. The photo could even be a staged photoshoot. Kind regards.
  18. You know it is real because no pinned soldiers in the fetal position.
  19. Managed to capture a 'still' of the Dutch Recycling Container. We call those things a Recycling Bin in Australia. The picture just frankly speaking doesn't make sense. The infantry debussed behind it, instead of debussing one terrain feature from the suspected enemy's position. Or is this a modern variation of the helmet above the trenches on top of a rifle-barrel? They may as well the vehicles were donated with compliments of the Dutch taxpayer.
  20. It is attrition warfare and you need pawns to win a game of chess. The Russians know that too and he maybe saver than you think. Or how do we know that anybody is in your 'Glasbak'?
  21. He spotted a YPR 765 an improved version of the M113 contrary to more modern IFV these are amphibious. Could be on par with the BMP-1.
