BM-21 Battery – weapon of war, which is enormously widespread and capable of creating some real havoc, at least against lightly armored targets.

BM- 21 battery is consisted of eighteen forty-tube 122mm rocket launchers and they could bomb enemy positions with 720 rounds of non-persistent Sarin or Hydrogen Cyanide in a single 20 second salvo, reload and replicate that strike 10 minutes later.

 

BM-21 Battery used in War Cabinet Game is suitable for surprise attack against troop concentrations, strong points and command centers.

 

How would you counter BM-21 Battery?

I guess aircrafts, helicopters, stealth sabotage troops, hit-and-run units, heavy artillery.

    This one is also interesting - Pinaka Multibarrel Rocket Launch (MBRL) System, India, which will replace BM-21. Pinaka is a multifaceted system integrating high energy propulsion, sub-munition warheads, servo-controlled launcher configuration and fire control computer.

    Counter artillery. Panzerhaubitze 2000 would work quite well given its rate of fire and range. 

     

    Otherwise, provided they are not protected by AA, gunships, attack helicopters or fighter bombers bombing their positions. .

    Foo.  The idea of battlefields is past.  It's old hard hat.  Battle zones are now in settlements on a house to house basis, and you can expect it to continue until the world just gets sick of it and stops manufacturing the equipment which will probably be never.

     

    Have any of you arm-chair generals ever smelled a battlefield?  The faeces, the spilled guts, the rotting blood and rotting flesh, the sharp smell of burned explosives, the dead animals, the overall stench of death?  I hope each and every one of you gets to have this experience.  This experience also includes the screams of the dying and wounded, the cries for mother, the prayers, the curses.

    War Cabinet Officer’s management interface design is ready. The purpose of this UI is to provide information about your officer’s Combat stats, Special Traits, Experience and Rewards. From here you would be able to sort and manage officers in easy and intuitive way with single click. This way you could choose best commanders for various units and missions for best results.

     

    NUI_Screen01-C2logo1.png
     

    The interface has three main parts: The first one is located on the top. It gives you the information about the commander of the selected unit with his stats, experience, rewards and special abilities. It also shows the name and the rank of the current commanding officer.
     

    The second one, located on the left side of the screen provides information about highlighted officer from the pool. Looking at the stats and skills you can decide what type of units would benefit most of his command.  There would be five major types of land units:  Infantry, Mechanized, Artillery, Armored and Anti-Air battalions. Same design will be used for Air Force, but it will utilize different categories and special abilities. Clicking on the awards icons with reveal more details what kind of medals he has and how they were earned.
     

    The third one is located on the right side of the screen and shows the officers pool. This is the place where you can oversee overall officer’s availability, skills, decorations and seniority of the commanders.
     

    We believe that War Cabinet interface design is created to be distinctive and user friendly in order to provide flawless game experience.

    All your comments and further recommendation on that you are more than welcome.

    Study war no more.  It is this kind of thing that keeps people in touch with their aggressive selves.  We have enough trouble taming the inner wolf without encouragement.

    Maintaining peace with preemptive action is highly controversial. However, politicians often get support from defense technology enterprises.

    The War Cabinet looks great. Support your game. No one hopes the market to be dominated by those companies creating games for hitting earnings targets.

    War Cabinet story continues 23 Days Later…

    Part 3: Shadows from the past

    There are numerous reports of intensifying firefights in Marutia. Most of the country is the hands of the armed insurgent groups. There is no electricity and serious food shortage in all major cities. Marutia’s government is on the edge of collapse. Two major rebel movements started to fight each other clearly supported by the neighboring countries. In this situation all diplomatic efforts to reduce the escalation of violence have failed.

    Out on that.  Too many things have been lost over honour.  There is no honour in war, only death and destruction.

    War is the single greatest medium by which a government can grow and further oppress its own people.

     

    Out on that.  Too many things have been lost over honour.  There is no honour in war, only death and destruction.

     

    And profit for those behind the lines waging it.

    I choose the House of Burgundy.  I really think Princess Brunhilde is not much for the prince of Orange.  She never was much of an environmentalist (greenie).

    Supply and logistics have been playing important role in every war since ancient times.
    As a general rule if you want to win a war there should be couple of things present. One of them is strong supply and logistics. This involves huge volume of manpower, equipment, fuel, food infrastructure consideration and serious planning.  Without it even mightiest army is becoming helpless mass of people and equipment.
    They all had to be moved usually between great distances from the homeland into the campaigning theaters. The fighting front is where the links in the supply chains end.
    In the end it doesn’t matter if it is a real war or just a strategy war game the rules remain the same. That is why we believe that any serious war strategy game should consider including this key element. We will.

    Ural_fuel2logoforumi.png
    In this regard we would like to share with you one piece of equipment suit for the task. This is the Ural fuel tanker 375D, which can be quickly and accurately allocated to supply the battle front.  The Ural-375D is a general purpose 4.5 ton 6x6 truck, produced at the Ural Automotive Plant in the Russian SFSR since 1961. The ZIL-157 was the standard Soviet truck until it was replaced by the Ural-375D, which became the standard Soviet truck in 1979. The Ural-375D was soon replaced by the Ural-4320. The Soviets also found the trucks an ideal platform for the BM-21 Grad rocket launcher. Other modes for the Ural-375D included troop carrier, supply carrier, etc.

    So please take a close look at it and tell us what you think.

    Dear friends,
    War Cabinet game added its Game economy as part of the development process.
    We believe that one of the main elements of the economy are the resources types, availability and specific purposes. We plan to have 7 main pillars of our war economy.
