Just took a quick look through all the maps / scenarios / extracted campaign missions, and all I can say is... really nice job with the Downfall module. Those missions involving the bridge at Remagen look especially juicy. (And well done re: the bridge model.) Plus, with many scenarios, there are panzerfausts nearly everywhere. Should be absolute madness. Love it!
Playtesting the campaigns, I had to be continually re-educated on the fact that, even if the Volkssturm are low-quality forces, those Panzerfausts are to be respected. More than once I was shocked as a coordinated volley of four Panzerfausts came flying at a tank or a squad.

Thanks for the information. One last thing and then I'll bugger off,
I didn't see the Firefly IC Hybrid in the list either. It's in there, right?
Just the IC and VC, no hybrid.

Ostwinds are in the module. They are in at least one scenario.

The UK campaign will be a sub-unit of the 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division, with supporting units ("Funnies"/armor) from XXX Corps present centered around Kleve/Cleve.
The German campaign is titled The Bridge. The campaign centers around the defenders at Remagen Bridge, and the counter-attacks in the vicinity.
The US campaign is titled Spearhead. Eight battles, spanning the fighting leading up to and including Cologne. It focuses on Task Force Lovelady/D Company, and attached infantry/engineers, artillery.
@benpark is working at a deadline pace at this moment. Perhaps in a couple of days he'll have a moment to add sumfink. He's the lead on them.
Small correction: the US campaign is nine missions. I think it was originally eight, but another one got added.
The Commonwealth campaign is seven missions, the German campaign is also seven missions.
@benpark really knocked it out of the... uh... park with these. Big, intricate, historical maps, with challenging enemies, interesting operational settings, lots of cool hardware to play with, they've really got it all going for them.

When we are at vehicles, I coundn´t find the Krupp-Protze Kfz.70, can anybody tell me where to find it?
I didn't do the TO&E for this module, but from experience it is likely that you can find it in FJ units.

Speaking on retirement, what will happen to BFC once you and the rest of the crew retire?
The hiring contract states that members of BFC must fall in battle. No other way out.

Will the Soviets have 'reinforced battalion' (the Soviet version of the battalion-sized task force?)
Yes. It comes with some AA elements and an attached tank company (or an attached motor rifle company if from the tank branch)

Hey Chris! Glad you're still alive man, I missed you and your streams!
Any plans to bring em back or are you swamped right now?
I've been busying getting this Cold War game into your hands.
No time for streaming nowadays. Just too much work to do (in a good way).

Chaparral is in.

I'll critique Chris's play once I get a chance to watch it myself.
Don't be too harsh.
I was purposely courting casualties, both for time's sake and to show some defensive systems. But CM being CM, it didn't really work out this playthrough. The last rehearsal I lost two Bradleys... I'm expecting my court martial any day now.

I really hope they have someone playing who knows what the hell they're doing...
That was me.
Steve was narrating, I was playing.

What is yellow, can swim, and rhymes with Grimmfragen?
You can't do that, finally including that vehicle is one of the seals of the apocalypse.

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

It is a longstanding tradition that we soft-launch roughly a day prior to the announcement, and eagerly wait for the first person to spill the beans on the forums.

Guys: arguing about the US election results, and any nasty jabs related to it, are absolutely an off-topic political discussion. There are plenty of other places on the internet to do that, so don't do it here.

Thanks for the heads up, this is fixed for the upcoming patch.
