It's funny that you should ask for that. There are 2 scenarios doing what you've asked for. The titles of the scenarios are: "DF Metal on Metal (Comet vs Panther)" "DF Metal on Metal (Pershing vs Tiger)" Kinda what you had in mind? We hadn't planned on doing an AAR. Maybe we should but I don't think there would be enough time to do it before the module is released. Rather than giving spoilers on one of these, we should wait until you get it in your hands.

The UK campaign will be a sub-unit of the 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division, with supporting units ("Funnies"/armor) from XXX Corps present centered around Kleve/Cleve. The German campaign is titled The Bridge. The campaign centers around the defenders at Remagen Bridge, and the counter-attacks in the vicinity. The US campaign is titled Spearhead. Eight battles, spanning the fighting leading up to and including Cologne. It focuses on Task Force Lovelady/D Company, and attached infantry/engineers, artillery. @benpark is working at a deadline pace at this moment. Perhaps in a couple of days he'll have a moment to add sumfink. He's the lead on them.

Well.....They actually opened last night. It was included in the Part 1 of this year's State of the Union Address. This module is huge. A lot of love went into this. Check out what it's got and what it looks like here: Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg : Downfall Reminder: These are pre-orders. When the module is finished a new patch (v2.10) will be released on our Patches page. That patch will include any fixes since the last patch, the PBEM++ and Tournament systems and all of the content for Downfall. The license key in your pre-order can be used, once the patch is available, to "unlock" the module's content. You will also recieve an email letting you know that it has been released. Also, we've recieved a number of Help Desk tickets from people saying that they can't redeem their Final Blitzkrieg license keys for Steam keys on the Slitherine/Matrix sites. That is because the game is not yet available on Steam. Once it is you'll be able to redeem your Battlefront key for Steam keys at no charge.

Try using a different browser. Also, sometimes firewall and antivirus software can slow things down. Disabling them during downloads may help.

Fixed. Thank you.

He actually said "early 60s", which I am. And you are definitely not.

The thread has turned into what I initially feared it would. The Battlefront forums are not the place for this. I was convinced to keep it open as a similar military exploration thread, like the Ukraine thread. But that has stopped. Shutting it down.

I actually love this idea. The biggest problem with it is that it would entail more work than is being estimated. Particulaly because CMBN doesn't have tank riders. And that's just the first thing that popped into my head. Without even trying to think of the other things that would be involved, I don't see that it is an investment in resources that would make it worth it. The people who would be most interested are likely to already have both games and less likely to want to shell out $225 (more about the maths in a moment). For new players that's a big investment. It sounds like a cool thing to have but not somefink that would be worth the effort to make. You guys struggle with the maths, don't ya? $140 + $60 = 200 $60 + $120 = $180 How about this for mathematical consideration: $85 + $140 = $225 Remember, at some point there will be a module for CMFB. The 1 module bundles are usually $85. And then, of course, there is the CMBN Battle Pack 2........... The price keeps climbing. And, again, consider how big of a market there would be for it........

I didn't read everything. but I didn't like what I had read. #imabuzzkill

We're going down a path that I don't want us to go down. Please keep this thread on it's intended tracks.

This isn't true

There is no installer for this. If you want to safely test this without worry, use copy/paste and remove your current v1.07 brz file from the Data folder. Then place the new on in the Data folder. If it doesn't work then you can copy/paste your existing one back into the folder.

Some Mac users have reported mis-named units. The fix has been discovered. The cold war v107.brz file had become corrupted in the installers. New installers are being created. In the meantime, I have created a link to a good version of the brz file on the Patches page of our website. Download the file from the link on that page, unzip it and place the brz file in your Data folder, replacing the file that you currently have there. If you had reverted your version to v1.06 you will still need to install the v1.07 patch and then apply the brz file. https://www.battlefront.com/patches

I have uploaded the file to the Patches page of our website.

Also, it can happen when things that don't belong are in the Data folder. Or some mods.

We see the mislabeled names when a brz file(s) is(are) missing from the Data folder. Open a Help Desk ticket and include a screenshot of the contents of the game's Data folder.

Depending on how technical you want to get about it......There are actually 4 versions. The ones Redwolf listed, but there are 2 Battlefront versions, Mac and Windows. That is if you want to dig into the coding. For all practical purposes there is 1. A Battlefront purchase gives you access to all 4. You can redeem your Battlefront license key for both Steam and Matrix license keys. I try to match the sales that they offer but I'm not always notified. A weird one with this sale is that it looks like Matrix is offering them for less than they are on Steam. I will adjust our pricing today.

You can always get additional activations. Just open a Help Desk ticket.

I've asked around and the TO&E was done so long ago I can't say for sure if it was intentional or not (it may have been dome 15 years ago!). We'll bring it up the next time that there is a patch being worked on for Shock Force 2......but there's no telling when that might be.

I just heard back about your weird scoring. Are you sure they are completed battles? Slitherine is saying that the system isn't showing them as being completed and one of the battles was played (they didn't say by who) yesterday. These are the battles that they checked:

@Bootie can confirm this part but.......Neither Battlefront nor Steam would have anything to do with submitting things on Bootie's site. Any user made scenario, campaign or map created with the Steam version will work with all versions. The mission should be to get the word out to people that are new to games that The Few Good Men exists. Letting people know that there is a place they can share their work.

Great news!! What they are able to do once a tournament starts is extremely limited. They also can't "look inside" game files and investigate things. The scoring is supposed to be 1) Whatever a completed battle's score is rules everything. And is the official score for that battle. 2) Your opponent is a no show you get 1,000 points per battle 3) Battle is not finished should award the running scores. 4) Battles are played for a while and then 1 player abandons game should award abandoned person the running score plus 1,000 points. However, that may not be absolute and may depend on how much time has gone by without turns being sent. If the missing player hasn't send a turn in 3 days it is different than if they haven't sent a turn in 15 days. The bottom line is that everyone should do their absolute best to complete games. Know that is the opponent is a no show you'll get a decent number of points. And anything may not make sense. Not the answer that I want to give but it's the best that I have gotten so far. I was given a spreadsheet that detailed things. I'm really good with numbers and maths and I couldn't figure out what that things was saying.

Check and see if you have the initial turn again.

They're still trying to figure out if they can resend you the original first file. You haven't been forgotten. They work Monday through Friday though. So, nothing happened over the weekend.

You're new here and this is the first thing you decide to post? Personally attacking another forum member? That will get you a vacation every time.
