---QUOTATION---
It's regrettable that you ran into a bug that requires such a desperate measure. I wish I knew why those two guys aren't moving to regroup with their leader - usually squad NPCs in CS try to regroup if they wander off too far from the rest of their squad.

Decane:
It's OK. He deserved it for ruining his whole faction war! 
SWAMP
--------------------------------
Finally I am leaving the Swamps. I hit Experienced, gathered some artifacts (regretfully not from anomaly near Machine Yard), some ammo. Upgraded gear, got "Bring me..." quests from almost all CS squads - just enough to hit friendly again once I come back to the Swamps.
* My load:

A few things to mention before moving on:
1. Decane, the two guys are still stuck on their way between Old church and Southern farmstead. I assume the newest SF guide is their leader, so maybe this is worth investigating.

2. When I entereted the game last time, I heard a shotgun shot, and then saw this:

3. Saw another CS guy in Exo with Franchi in his hands.

4. Ahem... *cough cough *
http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u366/kojocel/hm_zpsqtw07quc.jpg
5. Decane, following your advice with killing NPCs to figure out why they got stuck, I did some shooting in respect to the team which is still stuck near Fishing hamlet.
It appears that the guys in combat at the hamlet and the guys from the team which is in far SW corner of the samps are related, since killing one or another, makes the teams hostile.

6. A second CS team moved in to Machine Yard. I can take the quest to capture Encampemnt near the truck, but once we capture it, the team does not move from the spot, and it seems this prevent Renegards from re-spawning at their base.
That's it for now!
Cheers.

---QUOTATION---
If you guys could help me with this, I can happily provide a saved game.
You can upload one or send it to my e-mail.
---END QUOTATION---
Thank you very much for your help!
You can find all my saves in the location bellow. When loading the saves, please choose the one named "swamp". It's on Master difficulty (I don't know if this matters, to be frank).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Rgx4wWA-VfaWhxTmlrTnFRX00/view?usp=sharing
You will notice:
- you are near Machine Yard;
- Renegades are attacking it and you should just about to receive help call;
- if the CS member left alive wins the battle, please wait for the next Renegade squad to re-spawn - should be almost instantly;
- recapture Machine Yard and then you'll get "Hold the point...";
- you can also notice the CS squad stuck near Fishing Hamlet
- and you can find the two members of a CS squad (leaderless) near Old church, towards Southern farmstead - who are stuck;
- also, I have a small favor to ask, if it's not too much trouble: could you check the anomaly near Machine Yard? maybe there's a way to grab that artifact that I am not aware of?
- MODS: SRP 1.0.4. / Real Weapon Names / Alternative Ballistics / Sleeping Bag + No Intro Movies.
They are installed in the correct order, as you recommend in Readme file.

But if you haven't entered Cordon yet (and can't go there) I don't understand this part:
---END QUOTATION---
I moved to Cordon after loading a previous save where CS had Machine Yard, and thus it allowed me to move by the means of the quest: "Go to Cordon with guide", which I can't do when Renegades are holding Machine Yard.
I said "regretfully" because I wanted to stay a while longer in swamps, but constant attacks from Renegades and taking over Machine Yard breaks my game (I think) because quest to go to Cordon is cancelled (CS does not attempt to re-capture Machine Yard).
Cheers and thanks again!
-----------------------------
Edit:
While I wait for a miracle from Decane I decided to share some more shots from the Swamp.
I hope you'll enjoy them.

I assume you haven't entered Cordon yet at this point? If you have, there shouldn't be any problems going back and forth between Cordon and Swamps through the level changers (the CS guides in Swamps won't help anymore though, IIRC).
But if you haven't entered Cordon yet (and can't go there) I don't understand this part:

I. Regretfully, I, therefore, moved to Cordon.

But when I did this, something interesting has happened: all squad positions and faction war in the Swamp reset! At least according to my PDA (since I am yet to return to Swamp).
---END QUOTATION---
Sometimes squads movements and new spawns get unstuck by loading another level, sometimes reloading a save on the same level may help too, or maybe just waiting (due to some time delay in spawning?). Killing NPCs may help too, if your reputation allows it. I personally use trial and error with this.

SWAMP
------------------------------------
I. My initial plan was to stay in the Swamps until I get Experienced Rank (I killed 200+ enemies, but still Rookie), or maybe even more after that. However, there are few factors that forced me to move to Cordon (and I noticed some interesting things regarding CS after that):
* After CS lost a battle at the truck near Machine Yard, the base was left with only one CS squad. No other squads moved in to reinforce the position.
* Renegades started to spawn like crazy and constantly attacked Machine Yard to reclaim it. This had a few consequences:
- CS lost Machine Yard;
- No other CS teams came to reclaim it;
* After a while, I decided to re-capture Machine Yard:
- I got the fight alright;
- The quest on PDA got stuck at "Hold the point until the help arrives";
- killing Renegades near the truck to keep Machine yard intact:
http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u366/kojocel/truck_zpsypzvrea5.jpg
- Renegades killed me while I was omw to grab VSS Vintorez:
http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u366/kojocel/renegades_killed_me_zpsfuj3jpor.jpg
Now I know squads in CS don't move if there's some something blocking the path (mutants, enemy squads keeping a position), but I swear I scoured every "nook and cranny" along all the paths leading to Machine Yard, all the way to Village Ruins, Southern Farmstead and Fishing Hamlet.
I only found one boar near the small bridge leading to Burning Farmstead.
If you guys could help me with this, I can happily provide a saved game.
II. The actual concern about this whole situation, is not the fact that CS won't move to reclaim Machine Yard, and that the quest gets stuck at "Hold this point...", but the fact that the game won't let me move to Cordon, since the quest gets cancelled upon CS losing Machine Yard!
CORDON (SWAMP rant)
------------------------------------
I. Regretfully, I, therefore, moved to Cordon.
But when I did this, something interesting has happened: all squad positions and faction war in the Swamp reset! At least according to my PDA (since I am yet to return to Swamp).
- more CS squads moved in other points they held;
- 3 CS squads move to what it seems in the defense of Machine Yard while Renegades attack it!!
I know it should behave differently, since I get expelled from CS once I hit Cordon, but how I wish they wouldn't get so stuck while I am actually in the Swamp with no plans of leaving it - Arrghh!!
II. Ran to Sidorovich (apparently I managed to get hit by the machine gunner only once) and had a little chat with him.
Then:
- saved the stalker as Wolf asked me to, and got the coordinates for the flash drive;
- observed a bit Military and monsters locations on the PDA and how they move;
- saved Stalkers from the Military attack on the way to the railway Bridge;
III. Got to Stalkers' base, but did not talk to Valerian.
Instead, got my reward from trader, got the quests from technician, and did the quest with "Lucky Detector".
I don't plan on moving on with the main quest. I just want to roam a bit Cordon, and also want to go back to the Swamps and check fire anomaly near Machine Yard - maybe it reset!!
- i hate this anomaly:

That's it for now.
Cheers and thanks for reading.
