The latest news on this is that there are summer skins added in a new, as of yet unreleased version of the mod. The screenshots show compatibility with the "Alpha Patch," as signallers with their wire spool packframes are shown.

Thank you. I had thought that might be what you meant but, I wanted to be certain.

What is "move it down in the list" ? Install Alpha, then re-install v5.81 over the top of Alpha Patch?

<t> One of the major plusses of Graviteam is that they consistently support the community. The patches might be difficult to install at times but they're generally worth doing so. Too many developers and publishing houses in recent days (years) have decided that patches and community support is not ...

It doesn't take me much time to respond to a PBEM. Fire a PM my way with your e-mail address and I'll send you a PBEM scenario in response.

<t> Part of the Soviet CONOPS is that under ideal circumstances, Warsaw Pact forces would deploy faster and maintain this tempo at a rate that has them encountering NATO units on the move to their preplanned defensive positions. This will result in an encounter battle conducted at the operational ...

<t> With regards to your comment on combat engineers: It seems to me that greater Soviet mass and their operational (rather than tactical) focus would allow the Soviets to exploit more routes than limited NATO engineering capability could block. Bridges would certainly go down, but that was one of ...

<B><s>[b]</s>Mad Russian<e>[/b]</e></B>: I don't think the Soviets could have generated elite tank units given their conscription and retention practices. The necessary training time ...

<t> "Doctrine" for Western militaries usually meant a 'tactical framework' which provided tools the commander would use as applicable. It shunts thinking along certain directions, for instance the mechanized infantry of various nations fought differently based on their nation's doctrine (conception ...

<r> In response to your first post only, Mad Russian, amplifying some points: <br/>
<br/>
The Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) had an enormous impact on Soviet military thought. Their operational planning for fighting against NATO, as far as we know it and has been declassified for public use ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Mad Russian<e>[/b]</e></B>: The Israelis may have felt a disadvantage in '73 versus the T-62's IR equipment. I have used Russian light amplification equipment (primarily NPSU rifle optic), it is not very good even by comparison to contemporary Western equipment such as the ...

So it is. I seem to have garbled myself - that does make little sense. Belay my last.

Absolutely.

<r> Factors are as described (obviously... voice of God there <E>:P</E>): reading your AARs, you seem to lose a lot of HQ units. That will impact you negatively. The Soviets also take longer to compose and transmit orders, which I feel is realistic given their microscopic staff sizes and directive ...

<t> Put bluntly: This is the scenario that NATO armour is designed for and had been designed for since the 1960s. Precision guns, strong frontal armour and excellent optics/sensor fits are all designed to allow first hit capability at maximum battle ranges (ground permitting) and begin the attriting ...

<t> It does not appear to be possible - the game saves directly to the Save Games folder. If you have your saved game files distinctly labelled, you could use a dropbox program to specify the FP:G saved games folder as the dropbox, and it would then be possible for however many people on the network ...

Situation: I selected a PBEM to respond to, but then realized I'd selected the wrong one. At the dialogue menu inviting me to enter player PBEM password, I hit cancel. This caused a crash to desktop with no error report.

Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit.

<t> I'll relate to you this anecdote about me and old men. I'm exercising by route marching with my rucksack. I've got probably 50lb of deadweight loaded plus my constantly-lightening load of water, another ten pounds. I usually walk a twelve kilometer circuit with this load, which has a 230 meter ...

The game system is really quite intuitive. I've never felt as if I was battling the mechanics of the game instead of the opposition.

I am still here if you're interested in PBEM'ing sometime. High Krausen might also be interested in being an opponent.
