Registering my Battlefront key worked flawlessly - out of appreciation I bought the DLC.

Thanks!

Ditto for both for me also [:)]

<t> "Just another day at the office" I mumble…<br/> And to everyone in Control I announce - "Party's over Gentlemen, secure from Battlestations and resume Patrol."<br/> <br/> Note - At first I was just running this scenario in the background while playtesting PCD Kursk, but after the Iowa was attack...

<r> After we finish checking the area for other Soviets I order the boat to PD and raise the radio mast to send our report and copy the broadcast. We then find out the CVBG was an audience for the entire event - an Alfa with the pedal to the metal, torpedoes in the water, and a 688 at flank speed ri...

<r> And from Sonar - "explosion from the bearing of Sierra-20." Then "breaking up noises from the bearing of Sierra-20." The first torpedo hit and destroyed the target - we wasted a bullet. I hear the XO say "scratch one Alfa," and some of the Fire Control team trade high 5's. I say - "Good job peop...

<r> I order "Snapshot tubes 1 and 2 Sierra-20". Fire control enters the best solution from Sonar while the Torpedo Room fills/pressurizes/opens the outer doors of the tubes in less than a minute. Fire Control reports "Tubes 1 and 2 fired electrically" and later "both Torpedo's running hot and normal...

<r> I decide to alter course and speed to get in front of the CVBG to carry out my mission to scout ahead of them.<br/> With the CVBG located my primary task now is to look for enemy submerged combatants. I use a combo of sprint and drift and alternating above and below the layer to stay ahead of th...

<r> Next some Helo's dipping/dropping sonobuoys are detected to the NNW of the CVBG. I inform the OOD we need to give the Helo's a wide berth to prevent them from inadvertently detecting and prosecuting us as a contact.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/1493...

<r> Soon after this Sonar announces "large group of surface contacts detected to the SSW." After a little more analysis it is determined this is the CVBG with identifications of an FFG, AOE, and CVN as well as other unidentified surface contacts further south. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <IMG src="https...

<r> Been away from CMANO for a while - but being an ex-submariner every once in a while I pull up the Community Pack scenario with the US SSN trying to sink Khaddaffi's tankers passing thru the Straits of Gibraltar to keep my feet wet. Fun scenario dealing with Libyan Kilos and surface patrol craft ...

I'm still lurking - just busy with traditional wargame playtesting - primarily GMT COIN Series.

If you are still waiting on my permission JMarso - go ahead and post your scenarios for everyone.
I look forward to giving them a try.

Happy New Year.

<t> Late to the party but wanted to give my initial impressions.<br/> <br/> I am an old school board/wargamer as well as video. I played the original Strategic Command when it first came out years ago - mainly solo/against the AI. So my comments come more from the newbie perspective instead of someo...

I was part of the original beta testing so when I tried to apply for this new call it gave an error saying I had already applied - probably from the original beta.

What do I need to do to get on the 'new' beta list?

Thanks

When does the discount period end - next Tuesday or sooner?
Timing some cash flow...

<t> In the end the USN strike was able sink 6 ships (including 1 CV, 1 CA and a number of DDs/CLs) and a number of other ships were damaged. Not a killer strike but enough to hurt.<br/> <br/> IJN LOSSES:<br/> -------------------------------<br/> 29x Aichi D3A2 Val<br/> 1x IJN Asashio<br/> 2x IJN Kag...

<r> Some of the Torpedoes hit and numerous IJN ships are showing fire/flooding, while another group of TBDs have just dropped their torpedoes from the northwest.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/14934/450F776C24614BDDAF1A218A67DF2D26.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://...

<r> But most of the remaining TBDs are able to close the IJN Fleet and launch their torpedoes - in the face of lots of AAA.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/14934/CE733947CD4F4B149D5D1E0C176F0593.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/149...

<r> Below the slower moving TBDs begin their descent and attack run. <br/> But at 128kts they are easy meat for the Zeroes.<br/> The first group of 18 are all shot down before getting in range of the IJN Fleet (shades of Midway).<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/14934/...

<r> But this pulled the Zeroes away from the IJN Fleet which allowed the smaller second group of SBDs an easier time while attacking. Numerous IJN ships are showing damage and the IJN Chikuma (Tone Class CA) has been sunk.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/14934/DE37B03...

<r> On the way out the Zeroes aggressively followed and took out numerous SBDs. <br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/14934/8088B649845245C3B9C577782C083643.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/14934/8088B649845245C3B9C577782C083643.jpg"><L...
