And would have been done yesterday were it not for the fact that I appear to have contracted something unpleasant. Who would have thought that 9 hours of train travel and a day meeting new people and shaking their hands would get you ill?

But it is done- a good fun mission with plenty of explosions. Next up we've got a Unit Guide and I'm still leaning on the Marders from Battle for Normandy- there's three of them, they're similar enough to lump together and they tell a story about German war production.

That should be a relatively straightforward video to churn out- with a bit of luck I can get back on schedule.

Hitting the Beach: Semper Fi Syria Mission 02

Next episode, I'm sorta expecting the pixel jundiun to develop an allergy to anything with walls, roofs, etc

My lord, this is the first time I've actually watched those 2k JDAM packages delivered in CMSF2. First time I saw that in the video I immediately wondered if a Syrian ammo depot had been hit. Yup, massive support fire FTW. As Wally used to say on Western Airlines commercials, "The o-o-o-nly way to fight!"

GLG

Sorry, but another thing I wanted to say, UH, was your video production just continues to rise. Nice touch with using the set computer display to provide the briefing!

If I could turn every mission into a "How not to be seen sketch" then I would!

Thanks very much! Now that the Marines are on the ground, things are probably going to get a bit more analogue. Nothing like a Humvee hood O group.

I rather expect the USMC casualty count would be higher if some politically sensitive ROE were imposed on them, something like “targeting only allowed on confirmed AND identified enemy spots”. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what the USMC casualties would have been in that scenario?

GLG

Very good point. An ROE does change the landscape a bit. On the other hand, operationally, an ROE will likely change as resistance is ID'ed and confirmed, resulting in tactical situations progressing from 'fair' ROE's to ROE's with extreme prejudice. That's my 2 pesos anyway.

I suspect that more restrictive ROE would lead to a different choice of landing beach. Or an amphibious feint, a la Desert Storm.

I'm playing the campaign along with you, and, interestingly, we had the same tactical choices! Excited to see how you're going to handle mission 3...because I have no idea

UsuallyHaplessVideos

Ha! I'm also wondering how to tackle #3. I want to say reverse slope, but I'm not sure there's space and the Marines have infantry overmatch... we'll see.

Douglas Burns

I was going to have them line the high walls to the chokepoints, so hopefully the Syrian vehicles can't aim that far up

How did you end up doing with it? It is a tough mission.

Im ashamed to say I've not done it yet 😂 i got caught up playing with the F4 in DCS
