A good result

James my friend, from the scenario dropbox link I get a 2016 version, not sure that's correct (or maybe it is)? And the other link to your dropbox stuff takes me to my own dropbox?
As you may or may not remember I was a big fan of your Barkmann's Corner (which I succeded at by a hair's breadth), so I'm keen to try anything else

You're welcome. It really is one of those high-tech weapons that are easier to explain when someone has used it or worked with it than to find in a huge pile of data found on the internet.
I'm not sure Steve hands out likes, so I've done so.

The most common was that a command vehicle received the firing orders, sent them directly to our computer by crypted radio wave and you just had to press a button to aim it, load it (semi-automatic loading), add the propellant charge, close the bolt (also semi-automatic) and fire (no shell casing) ! To packup the barrel it's almost the same principle, it was enough to press a button (there are things to be careful or to close but the vehicle does not pack up with the force of the arms or with a crank ).
Loving this sort of insight

Wow, a 10 year old thread revived. I'll join in, but about Buddy Aid. In my experience (limited) this seems hit and miss, and to be honest I'm not sure it even happens sometimes even if your buddies are (ahem) on top of each other?

Counter-drone/counter-air is needed for every unit.
I think that sums up what I was thinking. Have the Russians not got this, in the same way Ukraine now seems to have?

Probably small Quadcopter UAVs
So you mean difficult to target for the average Russian unit? Apologies but I'm rather ignorant of Russian capabilities in this respect...

Maybe a stupid question, but I really do not know: is this target worth the price of the missile?
It looks a bit of a waste of assets to me.
A sort of related question - we see lots of UA drone footage from steady positions. Are these drones not being targeted by the RA somehow, or is it that we're just seeing the ones that weren't?

Monster Mash is actually a great scenario all on it's own. Wide open tank fight.
Agreed Dave, perhaps a PBEM is beckoning (how I like to get my butt kicked), although you may have more modern conflicts to cope with?

The demos are not really up to date, but (not knowing CMx2) you won‘t notice the difference to the latest version
I agree, and for me I still remember the demo scenarios like they were yesterday (e.g. Monster Mash in RT). Didn't really know what I was doing, but had a great time. I was coming from older conversions of ASL type games so CM was quite refreshing...

Thanks for the extra info @George MC, what you say agrees with my initial thoughts but it seems a bit of reading is required on my side.
Or I could stick to playing your scenarios, probably far more rewarding
. And with that in mind, let's load up RT one more time...

Hi Jedi256
I used to be Jedi001 - not really, just joking. Anyway agree with SteiliAlpha, sounds unusual and not something I've seen. Looking at the filename, is it perhaps trying to save with the same name? Mine normally have a number like 001, 002 etc. at the end, not in the middle like his.

We shouldn't go overboard with the Putin health speculations. If one compares the pictures to previous meetings with his cabinet ministers in his office, he simply seems to have a habit of holding on to things with his hands, even many years ago
After each of those photos the arm-wrestling began. Holding onto the table was only allowed on one side

Re bias - well guess readers have to read it and make their own minds up.
Okay, have been considering it for a while but will have to get the books now. I would be surprised if they fall into the 'Nazi propaganda' zone, but who knows.

Out of curiosity I tried as well, same message. Is your allowance used up? We could all do with more...

There isn't much more there really.
"I would just say, without getting into what other nations are providing, that they have received additional platforms and parts to be able to increase their fleet size, their aircraft fleet size. I think I’d leave it at that," said Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby.
Thanks Huba, appreciate it. And glad that UK is adding more items (not air related) today.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what you mean but don't think I have the same issue.
Assume we're talking CMBN as we're in that forum thread? I also note that we're in 'Maps and Mods' so are you referring to a particular mod?
Is it PC or Mac? Windowed / full screen?
Can you share any pics via Dropbox or similar?

Looks great George. So that's AI plans for the Soviet attack? I'll resist to the best of my ability with the forces you give me.
I agree with @Aragorn2002 about the wonders you bring to the game, but I'm not sure about the kidnapping bit

As a fairly recent recruit, I tried the Engine 3 demos of RT and BN. Then straight away bought the Engine 4 games: RT first, then BN, then FI, then FB. And added F&R to RT. All great, no regrets. And now the modern bundle is nagging me but I may wait until current news makes it sit more comfortably...
FO with dead radio operator still calls artillery?

Okay sounds like my technique or perhaps my observation has room for improvement
