That's about all we've been playing with at WeBOB for the last 4-5 years. Well, I hope they will return in a Stalingrad game sooner or later. Hungarians had some amazing vehicles against the end of the war btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm reminded of my old hobby modeling days where, in surveys, the most popular vehicle was always 'not-in-kit-form-yet'. Kit builders clamored for a Cromwell kit then when it arrived it was met with a collective shrug. Being out of reach had made it more appealing than actually having it. BFC suffers from the same syndrome. No matter what is supplied there's always going to be that one 'not-in-the-game-yet' thing tantalizingly just beyond our reach 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 My only deep desire is for a CM:Afrika Korps game. I know BF has been disinterested in that idea. But, it always seemed to be a very popular topic with the wargamers I used to know. And much of the work re models and uniforms may already be done for CMFI and its modules. We already have CMSF's desert terrain and buildings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're creedy and spoiled. On the other hand it also shows the confidence people have in the future of a game that always gives them what they want. I don't see the harm in that. Some of you guys are so over protective with regard to BF. In the defence by the slightest request or comment. Not really necessary, I think. Personally I'm very happy and satisfied with CMRT and the coming module. It's my favorite period of the war in my favorite theater of war. But that doesn't mean I can't discuss my hopes for the future, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76mm Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Another pitch for the partisans: it seems like most of the other additions (German and Lend-Lease vehicles, some of the German troops) were probably ported over from the other games/modules (CMFB, etc.), so it would be great to get something truly new in this module! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 13E= Field artillery fire direction control. Not sure if the MOS number has changed since my days (late 70's). Back then we still mostly used specialized slide rules and protractors with charts, as the stove sized computer (FADAC) would usually quit working whenever the track (M577) took a big bump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Just do it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the DUKW. There are certain campaigns like the Scheldt estuary which could really use a couple additional capabilities /vehicles. One can hope.
