kohlenklau Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) This game is in development and will include Eastern Front fighting aimed to use CMRT to resolve the tactical layer. The kickstarter is active! Please swing by and make a donation if you evaluate this as a worthy venture! Thank you for your consideration and please spread the word to any other war gaming websites out there. https://www.kickstar...ations/comments Edited September 1, 2015 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm in... Not only has an op-level component for CM long been a dream for me, but I've also never understood why more wargame companies don't use the kickstarter model for projects like this, so I can kill two birds with one stone with this one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm in, too. To be honest - my main goal is to get that connector to CM. Which in turn means that CM opens up with some kind of interface. Which again opens a LOT of other possibilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppinlt Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 poesel I understand your motivation and I happen to agree that it opens A LOT of other possibilities. Now we just need to keep convincing people to back the project so we can get to that point! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 More personal editorial: So, Orville and Wilbur have these plans to build a flying machine but need money. They decide to use kickstarter to raise the money for the wood and canvas and those old time caps they had to wear. Some guy says, "I want to see the plane first..." The money is needed to build the plane dude! Maybe not the best analogy but it is in response to some folks who seem to think we have this fired up beta version with graphics and sounds to show them. Kickstarter has some risk. Please read up on it. But Matt is a commissioned officer in the US Air Force. He is not some real estate scumball who will be in Mexico spending your donation on booze and broads. He has already spent several thousand of his own money on this and volunteers have spent their own time uncompensated. Now we need to escalate up to the paid workers with a contract of what they will do and performance specs. You want polished UI and graphics and advanced AI. Cha-ching. It costs money. I am gonna go and sift through that older thread and track down any folks who WERE interested before and make sure they know we are live. People come and go in the forums. We have hit some other websites as well. But I think the core of our support could be right here at the BFC forums. Anybody who can donate, thank you, please drop a post here if you donate so we can thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, to quibble about this graphic or that feature misses the main point, which poesel has pointed out--to get an interface into CMx2. Choppinit and others have already spent ALOT of time on this, and if this doesn't fly, there's a good chance we'll never see any kind of op-layer or interface for CM. So if you have the slightest interest in either of these, please chip in and help see this through... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, to quibble about this graphic or that feature misses the main point, which poesel has pointed out--to get an interface into CMx2.

So if you have the slightest interest in either of these, please chip in and help see this through... yeah pretty much. If we do not meet the goal, the only conclusion is there is not enough interest to make it financially viable. Sad statement for us all considering how much expressed interest there has been on this forum over the years. Uncle Matt needs you! (Kohenklau, can you supply the proper graphic? No not the Kate pic..sheesh.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I am being optimistic when I think the critical folks are asking to see more progress as they contemplate a $500 donation! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crinius Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Isnt the name going to be a problem? When I read Combat Operations I always think of Comand Ops from Panther Games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Matt e-mailed Panther games and they are probably busy renaming their game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This sounds...intriguing. Are you able to give some high-level overviews of how this game layer will interface with cm, or is it too soon for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppinlt Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 c3k, it is WAAAAYYY to early for that. I cannot stress this enough: CO must be created first. Then BFC must agree to allow interfacing...then we start to talk specifics. If I had my way we would have been talking specifics a long time ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Matt has just canceled the kickstarter.... Maybe we suffered our Kasserine Pass? Can we learn from our mistakes and return better than ever and achieve victory? Or do we crumble to the naysayers and hindsighters? Please join us at the game development forum if you are interested. http://dogsofwarvu.c...board,36.0.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChappyCanuck Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 OK I totally missed out on this and I am interested. I just registered for that website too. Thanks Koh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
