What?

Ask a serious question and the thread dies?


I doubt the question killed the thread Wink

With the Verbal command you can try to order civilians to move to a safe location or away from the location you are protecting.

With Search command you can search civilians looking for insurgents who might be hiding among the crowd with weapons afaik.

You can also command a search the enemy... you get to shoot them if they don't comply.


But the real beauty is in the new Battlemaker/scenario editor

WoW... the power now available is incredible..... and growing.

you think of it...you just about can do it.

BUT... you won't see these enhancements available commercially until Late this year.

The U.S. government is the major terrorist nowadays. sorry but i disagree with this mod, and all the other propaganda games that brainwash people into believing there is this evil thrat that grows with no reason to attack the "good people of America". this crap of the good guys and the bad guys has to end!

Sorry about the political statement, i was hoping for a different CC release based on historical battles.


You're absolutely right. If the US just simply converted over to Islam they would be better off. Goes for Europe too.

All those features are historic.

if you believe you must play as the "Good Guys" all the time and you believe the side with the biggest guns are the "Bad Guys"... then play as OpFor.

You get lots of kewl stuff to take out the marauding invader.

You should see the damage an IED or a suicide bomber can do!

I'm sure I saw "Yankee go Home" daubed on one of the buildings.

Hia All,

Not sure where the " a sim" cannot take the place of actual training came from.

I have been to Lejune, Pendelton and other bases with the USMC and RAF Regt and if one thing that comes back is just how effective the sims (CC Especially) are at helping with junior leaders learning through repetition to react a certain way at key points!

The above is a link to art of the USMC workbook to accompny CCM and its follow ons!

The quote below says an awful lot:

Quote:
Lt Col McBreen:

“Close Combat” and Learning Infantry Tactics

I have learned more about small-unit infantry tactics from the “Close Combat” simulation than I have from fourteen years of Marine Corps infantry experience. I am an infantry major with fourteen years commissioned service, seven years with 5th Marines, three years in schools, and three years as an infantry training officer with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. I have deployed overseas with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines four times. I have commanded two infantry platoons and one rifle company. I have served as a battalion operations officer and regimental operations officer. I am a student of tactics. I have taught NCOs and officers infantry tactics. I have participated and led tactical decision training.

None of these activities or learning experiences can match the effective and focused tactical learning that I have experienced through repetitive fighting of the small unit scenarios in “Close Combat.” “Close Combat” permits a player to fight hundreds of scenarios, make thousands of tactical decisions, experiment with different tactics, and learn from his mistakes. I would be a far more qualified platoon commander now than I was twelve years ago. Through fighting the “Close Combat” simulation, I have internalized significant platoon-level tactical lessons


I have met many Marines who have trained using CC and they KNOW the value of it! Both pre-deployment and when back off deployment. I have met and talked with the CTA specialists tasked with evaluating it in a as opposed to std in the field training. The key is decision making and this is where CC as a sim comes into its own, it can build memory muscle by the repetetion of key decision points. This is proved to work and to be just as effective as in the field training as the key is to make a decision under pressure. The USMC spent a lot of money on studies on CTA to learn if a sim was any good at this and in fact its actually better in many ways for certain aspects of training. In the field a trainee may get to make the key decisions a couple of times, but in the simulation it can be hundreds of times.

As anyone in todays modern military can tell you, simulations are helping to train soldiers now! This is a fact!
