Wow! Very cool. Things seem to be gelling over there at BF now. The pieces are seemingly falling into place now.

Can't wait to see a Brummbar take on a building ...

 

[Ithikial]

Brilliant! Looking forward to this.

And going to play it on a new rig as well.

 

[Facman]

Market Garden...yeah Buddy!

 

[Lt. Smash]

More excited than I want to admit on all fronts....meaning the Med and Europe!

 

[Dutch Grenadier]

What I find sad is that these new units (FJ, (mobile) AA guns) enter CMFI first instead of CMBN...

But Market Garden... HELL YEAH!!! That brings the online battlefield closer to "home".

...note to self, stay away from DG when MG comes out, he knows the terrain like the back of his hand...

Or you can use me as a scout

Or you can use me as a scout

And he'll be so critical of every map included in the module or made by players.

 

[Facman]

All CMMG maps should pass through his inspection, I called it no changees!

 

[Neubaufahrzeug]

MG?
Guys - this is the CM:FI-Forum.
And GL cries at least for a short and hard campaign ala "Seven Days at Salerno"...

 

[TheDudeAbides421]

I think that there will be more than one campaign with CMGL. The addition of CW forces, the broad time frame (OOBs available) and the ability to change the seasons will bring out some creativity from campaign makers. I personally cannot wait!

 

[Nathangun]

Thanks for the updates fellas.

I second that.

 

[Bidermann]

I am thinking more about a multiplayer Salerno-campaign: the unit density is low - only a few divisions in the first week after the landings, so that the campaign can be handled on a CM-formation base (Btl). 4 battles per day (dawn, day, dusk and night) means a campaign of 28 turns. Nevertheless not all formations are fighting each turn (disruption, battle-fatigue, recovery, hold on defense aso ).
So some thoughts...
