  1. Best done from camera position 5, zoom in and out with the mouse wheel.
  2. Superman comics have nicer pictures than the collected works of Charles Dickins. One is literature, its richness beyond comprehension of year 2. The dealbreaker for people is an animation of a guy with a spanner. In CM it just says immobilized which is sufficient. I just broke my resolution but resolutions are made to be broken. I am happy to give tips. I don't lose against the AI playing on Iron, so we must do something right.
  3. Thanks for the link and the tip. I just wish Battle Front would give us that option when we buy the game.
  4. The Russians gave scant regards to the 'Hearts and Minds Battle'. That's what you get by indiscriminately bombing and killing. IMO he explains it very well.
  5. T72's going for a bargain price. I must say the BMP3 in Black Sea impresses me. But I stick with my Mazda 4WD. Putin pushes Russia's combat-tested arms for export (msn.com)
  6. How many play on Iron? Once I did, I never looked back. It is not about winning it is to come up with a model which works. If it is not possible in real life we don't do it. For us 'Hotseat' on Iron, play a few months later reverse the roles and it is possible some battles were not meant to be won. I wish we could play Campaigns on 'Hotseat'.
  7. Move them till something start shooting. Task in a typical scenario not to find the enemy but how far the main force can advance before adapting battle formations.
  8. Bankrupt! Russia fails to pay military reservists, civilian laborers brought into Ukraine (msn.com)
  9. Maybe a Russian Romeo who wants to impress his Ukrainian girlfriend. The epic of the Trojan horse didn't happen far away from this venue. More to the direction of Turkey. This is the stuff for the movies.
  10. It was pointed out to fix a thrown track would take a lot longer than two hours. But if you like to play 1943 go to Graviteam this period is not covered by CM. I won't be commenting on Graviteam on a BF forum any longer. I own most CM games and it will keep me busy for some time to come.
  11. Using mortars in direct fire mode. Scenario Road to Nijmegen first mission Battle for Normandy. It seems they are still using spotting rounds shooting at tentative contacts generated by a different fire team of his platoon. It is only after the first minute the direct fire mission lands on target. So I question or the wide pattern could actually be ranging shots. Who is doing the spotting any HQ or a proper FO.
  12. Clean the mouse or check the settings occasionally I give a double mouse click unintentionally.
  13. Interesting documentary about a convoy. Its length is some 4km so it will cover a large map. Unlikely it will ever become a scenario. The unit is one of the kind which is hardly modelled in CM. I found it interesting and enjoyed it. The rescue of the stranded trucks would make a small scenario.
  14. How do you do area fire if you fire direct? If you use a spotter, he will use the off-map fire direction centre.
  15. The tanks are the main force in the battle and the infantry support them. Find the approach in which a company of tanks in battle formation can enter Chaumont. WW2 was won by area fire and attrition. If you try tactics which work in CF2 or Black Sea, it doesn't end well. I saw that wood as an obstacle. It is not a hard battle to win. I can give some spoilers. The Germans are heavily outnumbered, the giveaway is when you kill the first outpost. They are Paratroopers among the best infantry they had. Tank losses don't affect the morale of infantry better lose a vehicle than a life.
  16. I see you need to contact players who specialize in editing. I am not one of them.
  17. You need to be more specific. Light recon units do some maneuvers other units don't. "Hunt command automatically cancels upon contact. Once again which units, the formation is there a C2 or not etc, stress or shock levels and motivation and fitness. It all plays a role.
  18. The Greens amaze me here. Few nuclear reactors on the point following Chernobyl and they sympathize with Ukraine. At least something I have in common with them. I never thought I would say something like this.
  19. I'm still trying to figure out how to use this unit. They are 'Crack' or 'Elite' with state-of-the-art equipment. But if you give them a fire order they are just like ordinary units. I think I will slowly get on top of this. First for the actual firing let the TacAI do the work. Observed in a few games they don't fire often but if they do they hit. Again this is not the primary function of this unit, often they are under direct command of their Company HQ. I would like to know how other players are using this unit. For now I found not giving them orders apart from Firing Arcs is the way to go.
  20. It is not only the language, but also the way you look and body language. It may be easier nowadays we live in a multicultural world. Every country got its share of expatriates. Happy gaming.
  21. Like me going to the Netherlands? I lived there for the first 15 years of my life, I bet after 30 minutes they will figure I don't live there permanently. It is easier said than done.
  22. The Washington Post. Nobody takes the credit for this masterpiece of an operation. Ukraine's special forces undertook Crimea attack, official says - The Washington Post
