Ukraine 2021(?)

[carp]

Maybe people don't realize how far ahead of the curve the development team of Win SPMBT were/are by displaying the ascendancy of infantry over armor. The most recent fracas in Ukraine has mirrored the capabilities incredibly well. I play by myself, and mostly create Assault/Defend scenarios, or Advance defend. The defensive side rarely gets much heavy armor. Instead I rely on infantry to do the job. This reflects well what has happened during the past three weeks. So I have to express kudos for that level of detail. It really seems more of reality reflecting the game than the game reflecting vice versa.

I think the rise was displayed very well during the Yom Kippur War kit, but then Desert Storm and Iraq II kind of put the kabosh on what would really happen when armor is faced with a committed infantry.

I have to make my Assault scenarios even more unbalanced thn the 3/1 point sread because Defense is now almost an arcade setting. I know its a bit dicier than that in Ukraine, however, I also know that tanks are far more visible to ACAV cameras than are infantry squads in cover. It helps, too, that the AI is at least as competent as the Russian command.

Don't you think that's a bit rude? I don't think the A.I in this game is even close to the Russian command. Russian command would wish to be as good. As I see it they are closer to the easy difficulty setting of the AI in the game Command and Conquer Red Alert. And that's being polite.

I tried to be kind to the Russians. You know, piling on and all of that.

Like a good actor, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivers drama and persuasion

...... on the 23rd anniversary of Poland joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (and thus becoming part of NATO’s eastern border with Ukraine), Zelenskyy addressed that nation’s parliament with very different language.


He reminded his next-door neighbours of their shared history and culture. “Together there are 90 million of us,” he said. “Together we can do anything, and it is a historical mission for Poland, and a historical mission for Ukraine, to be the leaders that together will pull Europe out of this abyss.”

"May you live in interesting times............"

....this does qualify as that

523 on my end shows: The Long Night 7/89

Is 443 the last free slot?

[DRG]

This is what my "virgin" game shows

That is what was released last year. Any variation is at your end




There are also maps in 975-977
936
939
and others scattered here and there after the main body of maps but for the main block the next open slot is 443 and right now those two empty slots before that have maps that will be added in the next update

Looks like I have not released 523 The Long Night 7/89 yet.

Sorry my mix up I was thinking of scenarios # and not map #'s.
