mjkerner Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 And East Front and MG within the year! I honestly thought: 1) We'd never get to Italy except through Mods; 2) We wouldn't get to Holland for another 6-9 months; 3) We'd wouldn't get to Russia for about 4-6 years... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darknight (DC) Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I love everything I'm hearing about these announcements except for one thing....that we are going to have the Invasion of Sicily without the Canucks and Brits of the 8th Army. We have the Americans of the 7th Army (plus Germans and Italians, obviously) but no Commonwealth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the Americans of the 7th Army (plus Germans and Italians, obviously) but no Commonwealth. Indeed, a strange decision at best. An Italian campaign... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I love everything I'm hearing about these announcements except for one thing....that we are going to have the Invasion of Sicily without the Canucks and Brits of the 8th Army. We have the Americans of the 7th Army (plus Germans and Italians, obviously) but no Commonwealth. This assumes that there won't be any modules to the Italy game. My SWAG would be that there will eventually be a Commonwealth module to the Italy game, which will add these forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 We have the Americans of the 7th Army (plus Germans and Italians, obviously) but no Commonwealth. They'll be in the module...just like with CMBN. @YankeeDog...yep...it's right in the announcement that the preorder tin will have room for the other discs when they are released.

Sixxkiller Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Before you guys get all hot and bothered by no Commonwealth, CMFI is a Standalone product just like CMBN is. The Brits are for the module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SWAG would be that there will eventually be a Commonwealth module to the Italy game, which will add these forces. Oh, I already believe this will be so, but Sicily (Operation Husky) appears to be the focus of the initial module....therefore, omitting the Brits and Canadians seems wrong (though I do realize that having to do OOB/TOE for the 8th Army would increase workload by 1/4). It just seems that Sicily is too small to accommodate a CW module on top of the Base game. I'm going to guess that it will probably end up being a large CW in Italy module later on (CW units in Italy included the Brits, Canucks, Poles, Indians, Kiwis, Afrikaners and Brazilians, so that could be a lot good of content for a module). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brits are for the module. Not 'hot and bothered' at all.....as I said, I love everything in the announcements....just (slightly) disappointed that Sicily won't be a battle initially fought by 15th Army Group, just half of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 AND they will be applied to CMBN...not just Italy! Mord. So will the CMBN patch be out before the August release of CMFI? or will it be released "when it's ready"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Don't know. But the 2.0 Upgrade to CMBN will be out a few months after CMFI arrives, from what they state. Where the patch lands in all that is a mystery? Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The fun part was keeping all this a secret. A short while ago someone on the CMBN board was speculating about possible future titles and hit the nail squarely on the head - A Sicily invasion title continuing up through Italy - but luckily for us nobody believed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
