How many half tracks did the Brits get LL? H

It didn't work in WWI very well at all. The early phase of WWII I'll give you the point as taken. Later phase WWII the Sov* was pulling off combined arms operational warfare as good as anyone else in WWII. H *The survivors of the German school of combined arms warfare. Pass/fail, fail = dead.

It'll be interesting to see how heavy and slow (Chieftain) and light and fast (Leopard 1) vs Sov 100, 115, and 125mm guns. I'm suspecting, based on how the M60 performs, that the Sov 115 & 125mm tanks will be able to take both our them out from the front at pretty much any range. H

Relatively long range for CM, about 2.5km. My major surprise here was that the 9p149 actually spotted a target... H

I actually had a 9p149 see a target! It got a missile off and the M150 spotted the launch and counter launched. Surprisingly the AT6 got there first and took out the M150. Typically, my 9p149 crews seem to have been blinded by drinking methanol & hydraulic fluid cocktails. H

Thanks a bunch! Nothing like period documentation to get into the right mindset. H

Parallels is a brand of VM (Virtual Machine) software. I use it to run Win 11 on my MacBook for those programs that I really need that don't have a native Mac version. It's also very useful for security & other testing as you don't need to reinstall the OS you're testing multiple times, you can just clone & blow away the damaged/old ones. H

I got CW activated in Steam and installed on Win 11 in a VM. Might have a bug though, as I don't remember the invisibility cloaking device as being implemented by the US side in Between Two Fahrbahns. This one of the M60A2 with the commander unbuttoned really shows just how huge that tank is H

Just to clarify, I'm locked out of the tournament? H

In preparation for the tournament, I watched a video, as one does. The 'saved games & PBEM options' are different from what the YouTuber was showing. This is what I have on CW v1.06 Do I get turns in email or how will this work with the functionality I have? Upgrading to 1.07 isn't an option due to the unit renaming bug. Thanks. H

Well, in for a penny... H

Of course he wouldn't care. Would anyone even be able to tell him the Crimea garrison is dying in place? The downside of sending people that bring you bad news to be air defense coordinator of outer Mongolia is that eventually no one tells you bad news. H

An isolated Crimea with supplies barely tricking in is a jail for Russians that aren't quite POWs. How long does Putin let Russian soldiers in Crimea die from malnutrition & disease? H

I generally keep MANPADS within resupply range of their carriers as I want them to reload & fire w/o me having to micro-manage their ammo supply. Other people do the opposite so their MANPADS aren't black on ammo later in the game. I also try to make sure the AD guys have an open view of the sky and generally keep them in the rear. I tend to avoid putting MANPADS (or anyone) on rooftops as they are way to easy to hit w/VT artillery. It can be tempting to use a ZSU-23-4 or Vulcan in direct fire but they are hideously vulnerable and you never have enough of them for AD. H

Similar vantage point ~15 minutes later. Generally more indictive of my normal skill level. H

Why do I feel that these tactical precepts would be familiar to Roman infantry? H

You're talking about the US Marines? I could totally believe that USMC tankers would get ammo the Army didn't want anymore. They also didn't get as many Javelins, night vision, or other new kit. H

The rare tank assault (by me) that doesn't feature a line of blown up and/or burning tanks. H

I thought the M113 was better because more guys can sleep on the open ramp and stay off the ground... Realistically, the BTRs & M113 are both about as viable in a high threat environment as a yellow school bus. The armor is better than nothing but if you're depending on the armor to save you something has gone seriously wrong with the plan. Now, would I rather ride in a APC across 500m of ground that's covered by MGs & artillery or would I rather run, yeah, I'll ride any day. H

v106 did the trick! No more Redeye company or motorized air defense battalion. H

Thanks! H

Removed Z folder to desktop, removed v107.brz, reinstalled the update, still have the goofy unit descriptions like before. Anything else I'm missing? H

Moved all the other stuff into Z folder, I removed the 107.brz, still see the whacky units: H
