    simovitch got a reaction from Centurian52 in Is CMBS dead?   
    BFC's marketing decision notwithstanding, I think the fact that the CMBS setting depicts what would happen if NATO intervenes with all the superior weaponry and technology makes this a go-to title for me. It's not too far of a stretch to imagine that NATO intervention might have spawned a mobilization of higher-quality and trained Russian manpower so the discrepancies with what we are seeing today as far as Russian troop quality can be rationalized away for me.
    I'm playing the Russian side on the "Crossing the Dnieper" campaign and it's really quite fun. 4 games in and I Just had my first encounter with a Bradley and learned a few hard lessons on the outskirts of Dnipropetrovsk.

    The Our at Ouren is definitely an obstacle as you say. But Ouren is more than 50Km downstream from the Our at Losheim which begins as a trickle 5km upstream near Losheimergraben.

    I just recently started developing a Lorraine project of my own so I'll be following this thread with interest. My intent is to keep them medium size and under, so just cherry picking certain moments from the campaign using historical mapping and OOB's whenever possible. 
    My first scenario, only in it's embryonic map making stage (as I learn this new editor) will cover the remnants of Pz Bde 106 trying to extricate themselves from their predicament near Mairy, France (working title: The wind cries Mairy). Others on my tentative list will be small-medium actions at Gremecy woods, Luneville, Pont-á-Mousson, Dieulouard bridgehead, and others. Hopefully at least a few of them come to fruition.

    I'm hoping to find enough time soon to start a CMFB series on Patton's Lorraine battles. I have all the topo and research from producing Command OP's (as yet to be released) "Bradley at Bay" scenarios but I just need the time and inclination to start in. I'm surprised there are only a smattering of battles from this campaign available for CM.

    Circling back to the Lorraine battles, I finally looked into the Scenario Editor for CMFB and the chronology starts in October 1944, so I will be doing these for CMBN for September 1944. I haven't done a CM scenario since the old CM1 days with Steve Overton and his "Historical Scenario Group". Bitmap overlays for the map editor and elevation auto-interpolation! That will save some time indeed.
