    I would say that's almost certainly a mod conflict of some sort.  You could try moving the contents of your Z folder elsewhere and re-running the scenarios to see if they are now okay.
    Do you have a couple of examples of which scenarios have the problem?  My CMBN Z folder is currently quite bare, so I could see what I get.

    Yes, I know the cause and solution for that problem. It means that you also have the 'original' version of the Kohlenklau's HORSA MOD installed. The problem resides in the fact that the mod replaces a British truck mdr and moves the passengers and that not ALL of the incuded files have been appropriately mod-tagged [horsa].
    There are two solutions that work equally well ...
    OPTION ONE: uninstall all files pertaining to the Horsa mod
    OPTION TWO: keep the horsa mod (which is necessary for my Operation Coup de Main campaign) and ADD the missing [horsa] mod tags. The sub-folder with the"horsa textures" does not need to have the mod tags added. The remaining files should be as follows:
    bedford-qld-gs [horsa].mdr
    damaged horsa b [horsa].mdr
    glider [horsa].xcf
    gmc-cckw [horsa].mdr
    icon british blue truck 1 [flicw horsa]. bmp ... this graphic was added by me
    icon british blue truck 1 [horsa].bmp ... this graphic was added by me
    icon british blue truck 2 [flicw horsa]. bmp ... this graphic was added by me
    icon british blue truck 2 [horsa].bmp ... this graphic was added by me
    obedford-qld-gs [horsa].mdr
    silhouette bedford-qld-gs [horsa].bmp
    To Summarize: The original mod forgot to add the [horsa] mod tag to one or more of the mdr files, so when you choose the truck, the program is calling the mdr for the horsa instead because it is lower in the list of files in data/z,  and combining it with the gfx for the truck. Chuckle.

    New stuff for the Stalingrad Mod V-2

    As there are no Barns used in the Stalingrad i've made them into a factory building.

    Also i've adapted the Indie buildings to fir Stalingrad better.

    The grain Silo is ok but the main office part needs to be about 12 -14 stories high?

    A Soviet patrol near the western Railway.

    Love this new indie factory office building.

    You seem to be forgetting that LOS does not equal LOF. Judging by your screenshots, your unbuttoned commanders can see the Shermans. But, their eyes are obviously somewhat higher than the gunner's sights, and therefore it is quite possible that you have no LOF. In a situation like this, it might have paid you to give your armour Target Arcs and slow movement commands up to the hedgerow across the road, rather than having two rows of hedges in front of you. Of course, whether this would have helped can only be tested if you provide save files to your fellow forumites.

    Whoa, everybody settle down.  I don’t think anyone believes in war winning platforms anymore.  If we can inject them into the UA to sustain current capabilities that is a great idea.  But as we have seen with numerous platforms and equipment, none really changed the course of the war.  Together they ensured the US stayed in the fight and frankly right now that is what they really need.  The closest things we have seen to game changers are HIMARs and UAS.  HIMARs were able to go that last mile - UA C4ISR could see (being linked into western ISR) but could not reach.  HIMARs and other deep strike allowed for targeting much deeper than before.  This did cause operational effects as the RA scrambled to shift logistics and C2 nodes, while getting hit.  One could argue the RA failure of Summer ‘22 followed by massive gains that fall were enabled greatly by these systems.
    But then the RA adapted, and although has to live with this new constraint, have continued to operate.  No point in getting all worked up.  F16s are not a bad idea but what we don’t want are F16s but no artillery ammunition.  Many of us have been saying - C4ISR, Precision/Fires, Unmanned and Infantry.  Try everything and anything else but do not get those four wrong.  And right now we are starting to fail on that Fires pillar.

    Vacillator reacted to FlemFire in Which is better, the Bren or MG42? A debate almost as old as the weapons themselves   
    The weapons serve different functions so they're kinda hard to compare. Having played through most campaigns/scenarios, I can say that I never paused and went "uh oh, a Bren" whereas the MG42 unexpectedly rearing its head was often akin to getting smacked across the face. In-game, the MG42 on a pod is possibly the deadliest anti-personnel you can put into the hands of infantry. I'm not sure what the soft factors are for the Bren but having used it I didn't notice anything lacking per se, it effectively does what you expect it to do. I think it's closer comparison is maybe the BAR, of which the Bren is better, IMO, though the American squads overall end up having way more firepower thanks to the Garands mostly.

    Those UKR jet drones are UK supplied (if you weren't already aware). I assume each one carries a micro-clone of Boris Johnson. They don't do anything, but fun to watch them cackling across the sky, like floppy haired gremlins.
