And there churches given seem to be norman or western european style churches, rather than eastern orthodox inspired versions with blue walls, gold domes etc that would be more common. The only changes I could make to the walls etc was to add damage to walls roofs. Couldnt change wall styles, add balconies, change windows/doors, nor change spires!

Thank you both. But it does show that there may be coding which could be modified to allow such an entry or exit from a basement/ground floor sunken into the terrain.

Actually, I just found this one: I'll play around with the download and hopefully its perfect ...

For the life of me I can't seem to find one in a search on this forum for such mods. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Yes, you've got to stop the artillery shooting that one round before running out!

Take a look at "Demolishing the Myth: Tank Battle at Prokhorovka" if your interested in the just the tank part of Citadel. I'm just reading the Russian use of anti-tank strongpoints manned by "destroyer anti-tank artillery units" who got a bonus for destroying german tanks, made up of regiment and brigade level units with 20+ guns of 45mm/76mm guns, some even with APCR. Glantz has published a book "Defensive tactics at Kursk" which you should be able to get as a free PDF somewhere on the web, it has usable maps and is only 60+ pages, very easy to read.

Due to combination of hillsides and level 2 buildings, I've been able to add a door to the second level. However, the damn infantry still only use the Level 1 door to get to level 2. Is there any way to have the infantry use the Level 2 door? Thanks heaps

Super cool to see so much CM content (I only have to wait to the end of the month, right?). I'm hoping CMFB and CMD will come to Steam at the same time as from BFC, since its a touch more convenient. If we're spotting for future titles, I would love to see more east front, either stalingrad and related offensives and a Kursk title. Or maybe even that time the germans encountered T-34s and KVs for the first time on the drive to Leningrad. And if we want to get more granular, may fav terrain upgrade would be to add basements, some way or other (eg the Hapless Rattenkrieg map has basement like structures which could work with some extra fudges). Cheers

I found this X post very informative and well reasoned, explaining how Ukr will go onto win the war (praphrased as Morale beats Metal). One observation he made was that RF used a losing strategy "elastic defence" rather than "defence in depth", as measured by RF needing to deploy 2 airborne brigades as reinforcements, not to mention the losses he says the RF has suffered.

Sorry Steve, I can't like you post. But, Liked!

Could you provide the source for this map? TIA

When I was doing national intel selection, a critical component was the lack of desire to tiktok or facebook everything you saw. I would warrant that the guy going around say this stuff is nowhere near this stuff.

I'm very triggering! Don't disagree with your points. You'all on this thread have come so far (after 2940+ pages) that there is also a lot of accepted wisdom (which may be either a reasonable ongoing assessment, a myth, an entirely skewed perspective or just incorrect) depending on what and when it applies to. especially relying on OSINT sources and some members whio imply they have secret sources. And of course, its so easy to fall into stereotypes 'cos thats the human condition. But, I keep seeing claims how solid the Ukr is and how bad the russkies perform etc etc but wonder why they're still there. But of course it 'cos they dont have F-16s and ATACMs. Anyway, this is all a bit rhetorical from me. But, I remain Russo-Ukraine War curious!

This is interesting, since I've heard rumours of the 82nd also being badly punished after they were committed to take Verbove. So presumably the effect on the 47th was similar on the 82nd. I think they were in line only for a week to take that town and head south, but after an initial impact, then not much. And remember, the 47th had the Leopards and Bradleys.

We have official counts of casualties for both sides: UA publsihes them both (including 15k for their own). But are they credible or self serviing? For instance its widely reported that Ukraine has suffered 25,000-50,000 amputees. And NYT said this August, presumably from US officials: Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded. But Russians outnumber Ukrainians on the battlefield almost three to one... So Ukr are saying Russia has 289k eliminated but NYT quotes officials saying 120k eliminated. And the US numbers would be based on what the Ukr tells them to say, so likely deliberately distorted to some degree. You be the judge. And where does the NYT get the idea that Russians outnumber the Ukr by 3:1 when Ukr seem to be mobilising a 1m or so army. Does the Russ have 3m? Really?
