Battlefront.com Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 For the most part they were, by nature, hit and run forces that didn't tend to stick around for open combat. In a way similar to the Unconventional Forces found in CMSF1/CMSF2. Large scale military encounters were, however, routine on the Eastern Front and Yugoslavia (which, of course, we don't cover). Partisans could be introduced in Pack form to CMBN, CMFI, or CMRT. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would for instance gladly pay the full price for a Finnish army 1944 Pack. Are there any Finns left on the forum btw?

The arctic front is often forgotten and there are few, if any, games that explore it. Continuation War, Lapland War, battles of Finnmark and Petsamo, would make neat campaigns. Not a Finn, but my great grandmother was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I definitely would love to see Fins, Hungarians, Romanians, Partisans, in a pack/packs at some point. I love all the weird Axis minors and their kit. Mord. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 5 hours ago, Aragorn2002 said: The CMRT module will be about the last battles in Eastern Germany and Hungary. Partisans didn't play much of a role there. Besides this module will already be packed with lots and lots of new units, vehicles, landscape etc. So let's stay realistic, guys. Actually, I thought the CMRT module was to flesh out the campaign reflected in CMRT and to extend it through the end of the war. Partisans were actively involved in the campaign reflected in CMRT. And with all due respect, I see a lot of new German units, vehicles, etc. Soviets get Lend-Lease vehicles, not clear how many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With CMBN, for example, the FJ weren't in the first Module, but instead with the Market Garden one. Partisans might get in, they might not. We're definitely focused more on what's needed to get the Soviets into Berlin rather than having some forest battles with Partisans in the prior Summer. 2 hours ago, 76mm said: And with all due respect, I see a lot of new German units, vehicles, etc. Soviets get Lend-Lease vehicles, not clear how many. Yup, this is one of those releases that is by necessity unbalanced between sides. It's similar to CMSF's Modules which added very little to the Syrians because there wasn't much left to add. The Soviets do have a few new vehicles to play around with, and perhaps some tweaks to the TO&E, but generally speaking it's not much compared to the new forces the Germans are getting a hold of.

I agree that they could have been included in the CMRT game, which handles Bagration after all. Partisans played a huge role in those battles. And don't get me wrong I would welcome more units/vehicles for the Red Army too. I hope we will see the M2 and M3 halftrack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree. Especially the Russian offensive in June 1944 and the following fighting was very intense. For Stalin it most certainly wasn't a side show. Taking Finland out of the war made the onslaught for Berlin a lot easier. But we can speculate all we want, BF decides. And for the moment I'm looking tremendously forward to the new module. Eastern Prussia! Lauban! Bautzen! Stuhlweisenburg! The list is endless and it all comes our way. Real winter battles!

Although I'll certainly buy the game in any event. Personally I like partisans because they allow you to create entirely different kinds of battles, whereas choosing between various flavors of German infantry/fusiliers/grenadiers/jaegers/etc adds much less to game-play diversity.

Erwin Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 MOS' innovative system in his CMBS TOC scenario would be perfect for rear area counter-partisan/guerilla scenarios. Perhaps we could accomplish Partisans with a mod (changing one of the minor countries) if BF cannot get em in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're an Eastern front junkie, which I am. Personally I think every German regiment should have it's own mod. But seriously, it would be great to have partisans, also in CMFI and CMBN.

I hope the new CMFI module will also allow flat roofs on modular buildings as CMBS does. With flat roofs you basically have some late North Africa scenario possibilities. Then with partisans, French North African forces and mods you might be able to get the post WWII Algerian revolution.

snarre Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 well i say still it was side show because amount of troops what soviet had on that time there was sou huge. Finish troops could not tie that mutch troops from soviet army to make difference els where. How ewer 1941 this was totaly diffrend thing and our troops could help to capture Leningrad but Mannerheim did choose not to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibot Mk IX Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Wow, take my money please! It brings back my memory of those days playing CMBB. “Once a king” was one my favorite scenario, herding a mixed group of Heer, SS and Volkssturm to escape the doomed Reich By the description I guess the new Mod will cover the period from Vistlua-Oder Offensive (Jan 1945) to Battle of Berlin (May 1945). And from the description the new Mod will focus on Army Group North and Army Group Center? It’s pity that Polish People's Army is not included in new units. Will it cover the Army Group Courland? Will it expand to south a little bit, so that we can experience the battle of Budapest and Operation Frühlingserwachen? Maybe we can find Hungarian, Romanian and even Yugoslavian in the game? OK, I guess I have asked too much. Battlefront, thank you for sharing this good news, can’t wait for this MOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 IIRC CMBB had decent sales in Finland. Finns would require the least amount of new vehicle modeling. Any one know if Finland was using any non German vehicles by 1944? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
