    So, warfare in the future is very much playing a computer game. Operator in some secure control room directing operations with drones and UGVs.

    Typical example is the start button of motorcycles. The Brits invented it and sold the patent to the Japanese as British bikers were traditionalists and preferred kick starters. Like they say it is now history, I loved my Yamaha with the electric starter granted Triumphs were nice bikes too.

    If you do a quick battle, you will only be able to put units in the areas that were designated for that on the quick battle map.
    If you go into the scenario editor and load that particular map, you can place the units for both sides anywhere you'd like since it will be a scenario, rather than a quick battle.

    Yes the smallest drone is the size of the common sparrow. Wait and we have mosquito size or even smaller.

    Almost each who lives in village can do this ) In Ukraine each rural homested has own small or large market garden, even families, who are farmers except own fields carry on own market garden or even several. In late USSR homesteads could have from 0,15 to 0,6 ha (0,37 - 1,48 acres) of land. This was enough to supply usual family at least with own vegetables (most popular on our market gadens are potato, tomatoes, cucumbers and onion). Also homesteads, having bigger allotments often have own chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, sometime a cow. Many those, who live in cities have own old parents in villages, and help them to grow vegetables, which then they can  eat and these own vegetables are 100 % eco-natural. Also many citizens buy dachas, which also have small piece of land (0.05-0.07 ha), but often some free space all the same are diverted under beds of vegetables. 
    Yes, this is survival experience of two wars and especailly Holodomor, which hands over from generation to generation. In last years many young people become to forgot from where they get food, thinking it appears in magical way in supermarkets, many people told "its enough to work hard for this potato, when we can buy it in any time in any place". But Russian invasion again showed that own market garden and "house in the village" is always actual thing. 
    During siege of Kyiv in March, there was too few vegetables in city supermarkets, but villagers and farmers were coming to Kyiv on own cars on single free road and traded own vegetables to citizens. Of course, their food costed in 1.5 and sometine in 2 times more, than in supermarkets, but we could buy almost everything ecxept exotic %)

    Read a good point on Twitter. You don't negotiate with putin. Look at Prigozhin who made a deal.

    Me and @FlammenwerferX suffer some intense and terrifying minutes in the woods.
    A close encounter of the frightening kind...  Luckily support is right behind!  Out of the woods and right into the waiting jaws of the Jagdpanther.  Today we are thankful our enemy has turretless TDs instead of tanks.  And because of it my scout reverses safely out of danger.

    The monstrous German TD gets first shots but misses as both he and I are moving!

    The fates align, and so do my gunsights.

    At this range, with 122mm, the results are as expected.

    Scratch on another kill.

    More medals will be requested for these heroes of the Soviet Union, if they can survive the next 30 minutes...

    Savelyev among the SU76's and Maxims he took aim and a Panzerschreck Team was taken out. Snipers don't ignore them. Range 243mtr keep a log how and when they strike. Shot was generated by the TacAI not by the player input.
