gibsonm Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well this did come out some time ago: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&show=Neato.html&Itemid=213 in the “Any bones for NATO?” thread. Or did you miss it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwood Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 But what info, eg nationalities, Syrians additions, and other info type. All NATO types or limited to larger countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well the vehicles displayed are only used by some NATO countries, aren’t they? So Coyote + LAV III + Leo 2A6 for example screams “CANADA“. Similarly MARDER + FENNEK + Leo 2A6 = ? As for the full list of NATO countries and what new toys for the Syrians, I’m sure Steve has mentioned this at least once or twice or four times, so I’m sure a quick application of the “search” tool will get you what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born lazy and developed the skill as I got older, and I'm now closer to a centurion than a new born, I guess I developed a load experience. I have looked, but obviously not hard enough Ron 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homo ferricus Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I still say it would be more plausible to have replaced Germany with Denmark or something... Well, it's not like it's that unrealistic, and besides, people would rather play with the German kit I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Remember the premise of the Shock Force background is that several EU countries are directly attacked by terrorists traced back to Syria. There's no way the Germans would *not* be involved if NATO mobilized itself. In fact it is obligated to by the NATO charter. Which is one reason it is in Afghanistan despite public pressure to withdraw. Plus, we didn't specify which European cities were attacked with dirty bombs. You can bet your sweet patukas that if Berlin was hit with a dirty bomb even the Greens would be calling for blood Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I believe in a moment of rare honesty, a French politician, who was publically against the US operation against Afghanistan, admitted. "If they (the 9/11 bombers) had attacked Paris, and killed as many people we would have found the country responsible and probably nuked it" This is paraphrasing, but the meaning was all too clear. I can see it now, a German Green MP calling for blood but very concerned the Leo II's power packs are not as enviromentally friendly as possible and whats this about DU!!!!!!!! CAS only allowed at certain times of the day so as not to disturb indigenous wildlife and only dropping bio-degradable munitions. In fact, imagine a mission where keeping your carbon footprint and environmental impact as low as possible was part of the victory conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet your sweet patukas that if Berlin was hit with a dirty bomb even the Greens would be calling for blood Steve Right, given the plot. But I surmise that there is a larger group of players who would prefer playing with German kit/nationality vs. Danish or Norwegian kit/nationality or something, considering that you guys could have just as easily implied that Copenhagen or Oslo were hit rather than Berlin perhaps Denmark would be a bigger target for extremists? Considering they have combat troops fighting in the more contested provinces* of Afghanistan, participated in the Iraq invasion, and the Muhammad comic a couple years back. *Danes are mainly in Helmand/Kandahar, whereas Germans are mainly in the *relatively* safer Northern provinces. It must be acknowledged that Germany has a considerably larger contingent in Afghanistan than Denmark (4,280 vs. 740, according to the ISAF website), but also note that Norway has suffered higher casualties in proportion to it's population than any other nation there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waycool Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi Gibson Thanks I did catch that post and the associated screenshots but what I was wondering if we had a complete list of the equipment; as an example for Canada are we getting: Leo C2 variant and the Leo 2A6M?, LAV III, LAV TUA, LAV FOO, Coyote Recee, RG-31 Mk3 with Protector M151 RWS, G-Wagen. etc. Will try search but I figured it is getting close to release there may be some further tidbits providing insight into what the NATO module will fully consist of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 but I figured it is getting close to release ... That might be optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 But I surmise that there is a larger group of players who would prefer playing with German kit/nationality vs. Danish or Norwegian kit... It's clear the German army is always a draw, whether the WW2 or modern variety. BFC would have to be blind not to notice. Even among the testers, there is much more interest in working on the German campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sure until in a week's time when he (or others) start asking "where is it?" just because his expectations weren't managed early on. At least I didn't say "wildly optimistic". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Even among the testers, there is much more interest in working on the German campaign. Does that mean there's more than one campaign? Hmmm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

souldierz Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well we got to see some vehicles for the NATO mod and very good looking and well modeled vehicles at that.If some Infantry pics were displayed as well, I think the majority of peoples hunger would be satisfied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ages ago, even before the initial release of CMSF Steve mentioned including the Danes but it was enough work as is putting three new order of battles into the NATO module even though most of their equipment will be included with the other countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2645 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i just cant wait to see canada in there! but as well i hope they get most of our vehicles too its going to be awesome! as well i do know pretty much every canadian military vehicle that goes back to the late 80's and to now the reason i know is that i am a royal canadian reservist in the signals corps and work around them from day to day (due to the armoury the got us stuck with a light armoured recon regiment) and can help with any name's of the vehicle's that we use 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 "stuck" with a light armoured recon Regiment Stuck?! You should be proud to have a senior Regiment of the line in your location. Who is it? I have mates in: Lord Strathcona's Horse [Royal Canadians] The Governor General's Horse Guards and The Fort Garry Horse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
