Not for SP games. Battalion sized is what the game is designed for.

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
And it's the only game I've found that allows you to command a fully reinforced battalion.
Some come kind of close BUT have pre-set formations (which are semi-accurate, at best), and are usually RTS (which is not to my taste at all). I play "Wargame Red Dragon" quite a but and have some hopes for "Broken Arrow" when it releases (tho the demo significantly undermined those hopes).

Combat mission lets you do that, although it is more of a company size game.

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
I didn't see the need for a new thread for this
https://apnews.com/article/nato-finl...a2d81cd30eabc9
Finland to join NATO Tuesday, military alliance chief says
Quote:
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday Finland will become the 31st member of the world’s biggest military alliance on Tuesday, and that he hopes its neighbor Sweden can join in coming months.
The development comes as Finnish voters gave a boost to conservative parties in a weekend election, depriving left-wing Prime Minister Sanna Marin of another term.

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
Seems Russia can't stop antagonizing it's neighbors.
Tho the recent improvement in relations with the PRC is "interesting".

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
Last night, there was a major leak of a TOP SECRET classified briefing deck dated around 1 March 2023.
This time, it wasn't WAR THUNDER forums; but someone on 4CHAN who leaked them to prove a point in a 4chan thread.
I won't be posting the images I found; since they're plastered with all sorts of classification marks -- interestingly enough, the Russians have already tried to use this leak to their advantage by photoshopping casualty figures to reverse casualties taken - i.e. the original says Ukraine has suffered 16 to 17.5K dead -- the photoshopped one says UA has like 60K dead.
Anyway, here's the MBT summary of info that might be useful (I'll post more later, I have to go to work)
US PATRIOT Training ends 27 March
Various Stryker BTG collective training ends 19 to 28 March (Different BNs)
A large amount of LEOPARD 2s are assigned to the 33d Brigade:
14 x LEO 2A4 (DEU) - Delivery by April
4 x LEO 2A4 (CAN) - Delivery by April
14 x LEO 2A4 (POL) - Delivery by March
The AMX-10RC are assigned to the 37th BDE, and as of 1 MAR; 9 out of 14 were on hand, with the rest delivered through March.
31 x PT91 Twardy are assigned to the 117 BDE with all scheduled delivered by 3 APR.
40 x MARDER are assigned to the 82ND BDE, estimated to arrive in April.
14 x CHALLENGER are assigned to 82nd BDE, estimated to arrive in April.
90 x STRYKER is assigned to 82nd BDE, est arrival of all 90 was 6 to 10 March to Dobra.
And for Bradley, 99 x M2 were assigned to 47 BDE, arrival somewhere between 6 to 19 MAR to Zamosc. (Training of Bradleys in that Brigade was 15 JAN to 29 MAR scheduled).

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
Any bit of "leaked" data from an internet source should be both considered possibly accurate AND suspect
This for instance

4 x LEO 2A4 (CAN) - Delivery by April

"Delivery" where ? To Ukraine or to units?
There is video online weeks ago showing at least one loaded on an air transport for Ukraine

I suppose it's possible they have been in Poland and used for Training and they are going to Ukraine this month......... could be ( maybe )
Then there is this
Quote:

I suppose someone somewhere may have dropped the final "R" from RCR... or France only sent the RC Or they sent both.......
"The truth is out there"........... we just have to wait for it to arrive but in the meantime look for that needle in the haystack only the haystack is a pile of manure
That said, this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeN-xgocI_c
Does appear to show an RCR
as does this
https://defence-blog.com/ukraine-rec...s-from-france/
even though the caption is "The Ukrainian military has received the first AMX-10RC armored reconnaissance vehicles from France."
