Do you mean pause and give orders or just pause?

I don't ever remember a game where you can pause and give out orders but I think most games let you pause.

I feel like Discord is the best place to meet people for CC.

Im playing the first long term GC in years and im having a blast!
Completely destroying my opponent.  Wink GJS, got em on the run  Wink

I have seen about 4 other people wanting a game recently so I recommend going there.
I should start another game and hopefully I will be playing a few CC3 operations with the pacific mod.

The political arguments on Discord are pretty funny but most people are very nice and are quick to answer questions or give advice.

I feel like the app Gameranger is no-good and is now, no longer used. The new way to connect with players is this free and simple app called RadmanVPN.
Works really good for me.

Good luck.

Personally, now, is the most pain free CC gaming experience I have had.

This is one of the most well done AARs I have ever seen.
Very good work. You clearly have alot of respect and knowledge of the game.

I assume this is single player. I would love to see you narrate a two player game.

A+++

I love everything about this mod.

Attached is the CCMT Syscon manual. CCMT Syscon 2.1 is a modified version of Modswap which uses all the same commands.

All [HideFiles] entries into all versions of ModSwap with all versions of Close Combat are not working.

The result of this function not working is all the original Battles/Ops/Campaigns will still show a long with your modded Battles/Ops/Campaigns. Attempting to play the original battles will crash Close Combat to desktop.

Unsure what the cause is, I only know the problem. If you know, please share!


Thank god.

I was going to say-

Why would the Ukraine invade Belarus?


The government of Belarus, I assume, based on my understanding, is kind of a house of cards. Relatively speaking... I have wanted to visit the country in the past but I haven't. I would still like to learn more about the place.

Belarus is home to one of Europe's last vestiges of a time gone by. It's often called one of the last remnants of the Soviet Union. As Europe's last dictator he is in a precarious position in terms of maintaining power.

Even though I think a Ukrainian threat to Belarus remains VERY low, they still fucked up by supporting an aggressive neighbor. The entire front they launched the invasion from has collapsed.
I'm not sure I would care if I was an average Belarusian but from a geopolitical and an old-school authoritarian dictators perspective this is kind of a disaster.  

I don't know how unstable the government is or how strong the dissent is among the country's population but the state is in more of a precarious position if they want to continue as a Russian satellite state.

So far there is no sign that Ukraine wants to fight outside of a war of defense, so to speak, e.g a war of payback against Belorus but clandestine actions and pressures against Belarus for their aggression may happen in the future.
The crazy part of me would want revenge if I was Ukraine but fortunately, it doesn't seem like Zelensky is completely crazy.

Right now i`m in Belarus, and here are also changes. Lukashenko several days ago, suddenly both for his supporters and opposition, admits on TV Belarus participation in Russian operation in Ukraine. Also, here is huge campaign, including central media, about hiring more professional soldiers into army. Seems like Lukashenko understand, that if Russian army  in Ukraine collapsed, he is an obvious next target for Ukraine, cause attempts of invasion into Belgorod region was already repulsed twice, and Crimea geography will once again in history pose a serious obstacle for potential invader from mainland. A new offence into Ukraine from Belarus territory will change the gameplay radically.


Wow, whats it like?

PostForum: The Mess   Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2022 7:53 am   Subject: Re: War in Ukraine?
This is an incredible humiliation for Putin and one of the greatest military blunders of all time. This is obvious and the systemic failure of the Russian military has been obvious from about 3 to 6 days after the conflict began.

There is a lot to speak about.
I have often been sympathetic towards Russia and hostile towards the United States but things changed once Putin committed to the Invasion. Another thing that has changed my perspective is Donald Trump and their right-wing attack on Western civilization, if I may be so dramatic... I have a cousin who is a white supremacist. He would disagree with the title but it's bassicly true. He is a Steve Bannon, Vladimir Putin & Stefan Molyneux kind of idealogue and despite their rhetoric, they are really an enemy of Western civilization and its best values. This is very ironic when you think about it.
I have been through my ''Fuck the west'' stage but I have matured over the years and I have seen these agitators in action... and its not fun to watch...

Ukraine is not perfect, but the arrogance, dysfunction, ruthlessness, and lackluster performance of Russia's military and more broadly, Russian society, is remarkable.

It was amusing to see the right-wing ideologues deny that this was a military and strategic blunder from the start. They were unable to recognize the facts because of their ideology.

Putin and his supporters are clearly suffering from a condition that the excellent historian of German battle formations of the eastern front, David Stahel, termed for the Nazis. He called it ''National socialist military thinking''.
National socialist military thinking is used to describe the incredible phenomenon of problems the Nazis had from Operation Barborosa onwards. They were unable to see problems and exhibited huge failures of rationale and basic military logic.
Their arrogance and ideology prevented them from being rational.
Putin and his war kind of echo this in many ways. He has CLEARLY made a huge mistake and it's gone REALLY badly since day 1.
He underestimated Ukrainian National identity, resolve to fight etc. He fell for the trap of thinking ''Yeah but we are so great and everyone will tremble in our might'' even though that is not the case.

The good PR for his middle east offensive probably gave him false confidence.
He fell into the trap of thinking his opponents were inferior. The ''lazy decadent west'' notion was a major assumption that the Japanese and Germans made in WW2, as a factor in their thinking, in relation to war with the United States. Putin and Russian militarists have done the same when it comes to testing the resolve and unity of the world's democracies. This is a problem in the future as they look at their nuclear options.  

It would seem like Putin is no military guy... or even knowledgable of military matters... or history... or... for some reason he thinks he is immune...
Putin reminds me of a war gamer who hasn't been tested but is playing a VERY powerful country, he is untested but has committed to pulling the trigger and going to war. The gamer is frustrated because he is supposed to be very powerful but keeps getting his ass kicked.
In an act of rage, stubbornness, and desperation he impulsively clicks ''Enact mobilization'' while being completely ignorant of the game's crippling ''dissent'' mechanic.

I think Putin is a very romantic guy.
His war from the start, and what it exposed earlier on, is a perfect demonstration of ''The folly of dictator''. He seems to have met every pitfall with flying colors, working as, almost a case study.
It's no surprise considering the position he was in... HECK, Trash Reality TV star Donald Trump was president of the United States and then attempted a coup, lol! That and the dysfunction, corruption, division, bickering, and dissent in western society, now would of seemed like the perfect time to strike.

I think Russia is also in a curious geopolitical situation where they are running on a timetable where they are stuck in a cycle of stagnation, in conjunction with declining demand for oil, where economic ruin is in their future if they maintain their current economic model.
They are a weak oil state and Ukraine has excellent oil infrastructure from previous generations as well as oil beds. So, its kind of a oil war... that's my understanding. Anyway-

When the war started I said ''Putin is just a lofty and romantic guy who has the same level of thinking and morality as myself when I'm playing video games''.
When I play video games my morality, sharpness, and thinking are different than in real life.
So in a game of hearts of Iron, I would just take Ukraine so I can make my country bigger on the map. Thats because I treat video games differently from real life Idea
Arrow In video games, I can be pretty psychopathic, sometimes even ruthless and I hold the (AI) human life in lower regard.
Often to my detriment but hey!
Maybe that's what happening here with Putin?

Before I go too hard on Putin, I should maintain that the United States is partially responsible for this war. People lose their minds when I say this and I have had people bite my head off for saying this.
With that said, my sympathies for Russia going to war only extends, so far as my sympathies to America's position when it comes to things like ''spheres of influence''. That being- close to none at all but we should try to be realpolitik about this.
Many have not and a hostile action causes a reaction.. and so the cycle continues...
__________

So I support Ukraine.
I'm not Ukrainian, but if I was Ukrainian, based on emotion and pure rage from the audacious assault, I would probably take the position that we fight to the last man. Making them pay for the assault- would be the top priority.
I can imagine the rage would blind me so much that I would want to fight a war of revenge.
Peace means we take Moscow + 244,000 metric tons of gold is to be delivered to Kiev by midday 7th of October. If it's 1 hour late then the deal is off and war continues. No negotiations. If I was mad enough I would start publicly taunting that they could try using nuclear weapons. Take delight in the fact that this is their last resort and even then, they're still fucked.  

I think that's why I wouldn't make a good leader/politician. Anger can do that sometimes.

Russia has committed way more war crimes during this war and as an act of frustration, anger, and lack of military capability, they resorted to simply bombing the fuck out of civilian areas. This is not surprising but still reprehensible.

Russia's morale is bad and has been so since the start.

Bad discipline, logistics, leadership, command, and equipment.

I think every dollar the US spends on military aid is a dollar well spent for themselves, the world, and global peace & democracy but we should acknowledge the grossness and arrogance of contributing to the conditions of the war
in the past and then stimulating the US military structure now.... It would seem wrong to not mention that...
