Well done to all the cartographers and coders.

Your work to ensure optimum enjoyment is greatly appreciated.

Doctrine and the Strategic oveview of future warfare has changed forever.

The British LRG approach was to go Jujitsu style and use the vast numbers and superior resources of the USMC to their advantage.

It is a lesson well learnt I hope by all. 

The size of an opposing force doesn't matter when it comes to modern warfare.

Tactical thinking based on taking the initiative, up and down the rank and file, is a game changer of epic consequences.

The Royal Navy Commandos alongside troops from allied countries held a five-day battlefield simulation in which they were victorious over their American counterparts.

Royal Marines and allies forced US troops to surrender days into a training exercise at an enormous battleground facility in the California desert.

The Ministry of Defence explained that the battle exercise was testing the deployment of the new Littoral Response Group (LRG) in a guerrilla war-fighting facility on the west coast of America against well-equipped US Marine Corps opponents.

But during a five-day exercise, the culmination of two months of training in the Mojave Desert, the US Marine Corps asked for a "reset" after the Royal Marines dominated the battle, reported The Daily Telegraph.

The LRG is one of two new Royal Navy task groups focused on commando forces that are able to respond to world events, with one to be based in Europe and another in Oman, focused on military threats east of the Suez Canal.

LRG South, the Oman-based force, proved victorious in a five-day operation known as Green Dagger, which saw allies from the US, Canada, UAE, and the Netherlands take on the Marine Corps.

The LRG South is being built around 40 Commando, part of the UK's internationally renowned light infantry forces, alongside Dutch troops who form part of the LRG.

Dr Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russia who has been a consultant for the Foreign Office, wrote in 2018 of how a retired Russian officer told him: "Britain has always had the best light infantry in the world, and the b******* get places faster than we would like."

The commandos proved superior to the US Marine Corps while conducting their exercises at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, a sprawling training ground covering an area similar in size to Luxembourg.

The exercise focused on three urban sprawls defended by allied forces, the largest of which is comprised of 1,200 buildings that have been purpose-built for military exercises.

The LRG won decisive battles early on, according to the Royal Navy, but soon found the Marine Corps pushing into allied territory.

To counter the advance, commandos and allies carried out raids behind enemy lines, infiltrating the US Marine Corps' position and striking assets critical to the US defence and ability to coordinate their own attacks.

"Our success has proved the new commando force concept is more lethal and sophisticated than ever before and I am immensely proud of every member of the LRG and their vital contributions," said Lieutenant Colonel Andy Dow, commanding officer of 40 Commando.

"Operating alongside our partners from the USA, Netherlands, Canada and the UAE gives us a fantastic opportunity to test, integrate and continue to push our capabilities in new and innovative directions."

"Throughout this deployment our focus has been on integrating game-changing capabilities from across the commando force to deliver disproportional effect in the face of a free-thinking peer adversary," Lt Col Dow added.

When the exercise concluded with a last-minute assault, the allied forces successfully repelled them and the game eventually finished with the British and allied forces controlling more than two thirds of the entire battlefield.

The Ministry of Defence said that the deployment had ensured that the commando element of LRG South is ready for operations from next year, reacting to unfolding events around the world.

LRG North has already been deployed to the Baltic this year, it said.

Outstanding. Well done.

The dedication and commitment to excellence is impressive.

Long may it continue.

Great stuff.

Command and Conquer was my first love, the RTS that me and all my friends played on Playstation (the original).  We had a link cable connecting two Playstations and a pair of TV's facing away from each other.

Can only imagine what CnC on PC would be like, especially with a whack ton of mods.  Cheers Badploy!  

I had a similar experience with CnC too. Only on PC though. There is an update to the old CnC games that is just so astounding!!

I saw the =AMPHETAMINE= post on the CnC USA Theme muic and I was inspired to share the modding files I use for this timeless game.

I have had many a stress free outcome with these files over the years.

Less units with more punch and sustainability.

(Sigh... I wish I could devote more time to gaming like I did in the past.)

I have included several iterations that I have made over recent years, as every time I get round to playing it I always visit the modding sites and tweak some more.

Just replace your "ini" folder in your "YourDrive:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour\Data" directory.

Enjoy!!

Well done on a great training aid.

It is all about training hard in order to fight easy.

By watching this video even non pilots and ground pounders can get better insight into how to better engage with the Logisitcs and Transportation teams.

Collaboration is the key to success.

Blender will set the standard for using  and accessing software in the future. Once they add manufacturing and prototyping support features it will be another mile stone similar to its current race to equal zbrush, Maya and other modelling, sculpting and texturing programs.

it's relatable because i've been through something similar (both the situation and context although not exactly the same)

Fusion is also a nice candidate, and from what i've seen it's good at what it does, i just never took further look on Fusion since in architecture (my current field of work) and to that extent, interior & furniture design, people rarely use them, i think it's more beneficial for mechanical design, but don't quote me on this one

Solidworks is too restricted in its use and access. The freely available Educaton and Hobbyist licenses from Autodesk will see this become the dominantly used program by newly qualified designers and start up makers.

Well written recommendation.

Rather than Solidworks why not consider Autodesk Fusion 360?

Yes.

The faster and more powerful the GPU, the faster the render output results.

I have a several options for running such software.

The Minimum specs for the vast majority of desktops and laptops I use for 3D Design and Game Dev software are as follows:

• OS: 64-bit processor and operating system
• Processor: Intel® Core™ i5 / AMD Ryzen™ 3
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: Intel® UHD Graphics 630 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 2GB / AMD Radeon™ HD 7850 2GB
• Storage: 500 GB available space
• Additional Notes: Integrated GPUs on Laptops.

This config successfully runs files and renders from Blender, Sketchup, Unity3D, Daz Studio, 3Ds Max, Maya, Cinema4D, Lightwave, Hexagon, zBrush, Sculptris, Fusion 360, Unreal, iClone and several others.

So long as you do not go overboard with the polygon count or render settings.
