Played the first mission. Small but a good one. I forgot for a moment how devastating modern weapons can be!!

125mm APFSDS rounds. Not knocking the game already but just like in the previous CM games if in doubt stay behind BUSHES! This Humvee survived two shots before backing out of danger. The round knocked off the leaves but the branches remained. Must be something in their code that is too hard to change? Buildings act different as I am playing a CMBN game with Bid right now in which his 88 has pumped around 5-6 rounds through two buildings then hitting the ground on the other side. The AP rounds went straight through.

Played the little scenario first as the US. Video here:

I've played 'Going to Town' as the Russians and that was surprisingly brutal - Urban combat on a large scale will be rough. Currently playing as Ukraine in 'Ambush' which is set up as the mission which sparked the war in the first place. I've seen the BTR and BMP weaponry puncture straight through modular buildings and out on the street the other side. Brutal.

had a quick run through , so drones can be shot down and helicopters as well makes like interesting . I thought the game was very smooth even Hedgehog is tempted

Nice video, @Ithikial. I played August Morning as my first scenario, too. I always like playing the tiny patrol provided with any new CM game. My platoon took a similar path around the battleEnded my scenario with a similar result. I used air bursts for my mortar strikes. Lots of fun!

Yup - same same - just downloaded and gone for it. Nice work Ithikial - BF should have you on commission mate - god knows they spend so much time shooting themselves in the foot they need guys like you showing people the product is still worth buying

Of course I say shooting themselves in the foot, sometimes the in came spotting means you can't actually see your own foot, if you are suppressed, had a heavy lunch, were born in a damp month etc etc ..........Only kidding guys

Cheers @Richtig. Only played three games total, spending more time out of the game on other CM related projects. Oh well give a chance for the first wave of mods to be released.
