Yet again, I can't believe it's Monday already. Worse, we're halfway through April!

Modern Armour Penetration won the Shorts pol last week: I've gone for putting the Stryker MGS through its paces against the front of some Syrian tanks. Nothing that exciting- in fact it should be pretty similar to the M60A3 vs Soviet tanks because it's got the same gun, though the exact ammo types aren't specified for SF2.

So the main effort for this week is going to be the final Foiling Fustian mission, in which the map is the same, the forces are basically the same and the only real difference is that the plucky FJs and their Italian allies are trying to bumrush several trucks full of explosives onto the bridge to try and blow it up before they fall back.

Somewhat bizarre, but that is what they tried in the actual battle. Predictably it didn't work, so at least if I lose I can claim historical accuracy.

Next week is sorted- I have the Chaffee guide I can wheel out- and then we're into uncharted mystery campaign territory because Foiling Fustian will be all done. It's all go.

For this week's poll we are back to WW2, with the ever popular Arty/CAS out of the running because it won last time.

Do a fallschirmjaeger squad firepower test? Or Gebirgsjaeger squad for that matter

Any idea what campaign you will do next? It would be cool to see you play something you are properly hot for.

Not sure. We should be back round to moderns- the Cold War campaigns are great, but probably too chunky. We just did Shock Force with the Marines... that leaves Black Sea which is... perhaps excessively topical. So, dunno!

Colby Simpson

Well if Cold War is the only good option, I'd say have a gander at the US Campaign. Compared to the latest WW2 releases it's almost modest in scale. The maps are quite large but i found the number of units actually fairly restrained. For the one scenario that was too big for my taste, the player is on the defensive so it was manageable yet. That being said, I don't think anyone would complain about two WW2 campaigns in a row!

Good idea, recommend the '79 campaign for that matter. The time when US is ridiculously outgunned and outmatched at every corner. Unfortunately nobody has bothered with user made CMCW campaigns yet. The game truly suffers
