That doesn't sound too bad. @7thGalaxy, still looking for a game? I have all of the WWII content.

'43 would make me happy, as you said shouldn't be too hard. '41 is another thing altogether... This spring we should see all the titles updated to VE day, right? So maybe 2021 for Kursk?
-
Do you think we could upgrade mid-game?

We may want to hold out for the forthcoming patches, but I'm up for any CM game you listed.
This might be wise. Unless it doesn't come out for another few months...

Nice little scenario, thanks. I have a quick question for the Soviet grogs out there: Why does the soviet SG43 MMG have a Deploy time of 26 secs and a Packup time of 0 secs? I understand the weapon is on wheels so it should be easy to get going, but wouldn't that obtain, at least partially, for setting up as well? By comparison the M1919A4 30 Cal has a setup time of 21 secs and a packup time of 14 secs. This weapon has a separate tripod that needs to be placed first but the setup time is less than the SG43. What part of this am I missing?

Which game depends on what you like... For me it is RT Armor? Huge sized battles? Lots of infantry? Hills?. Nothing wrong with FI. But over all RT for me. Even with in the context of the game, I do not feel limited. Still I am looking forward to the next products on FI and RT. Well look again at FI
I am not going to not buy the FI stuff, but I am really waiting for RT, specifically early war RT - whenever that happens.
I took a look at my orders and the last time I sent Battlefront money was for the CMFI upgrade bundle...back in October of '17. My wallet is very itchy.

Still nothing re: refresh monkeying. Only 5 days left in the month though. Won't you join me?

If my time here on Battlefront has given me one thing, it is an unmeasurable amount of patience, and more than enough experience using it.
All good things come to those who wait.
Both in-game and out! I have been waiting for games/modules/packs for almost 20 years. In-game, however, I still make my "move" about 1 minute before I should...

I recently happened across my copy of PanzerBlitz when reorganizing my games. Your avatar just reminded me. I found some supplemental counters in the box I made out of index card stock and very shaky 12 year old penmanship. An assault bridge or something from a General article or book I must have found in the library as a youth. =D
Same.

Tap, tap, tap. Still nothing...but very soon.

Tap, tap, tap..tap...tap.....tap......clunk. Maybe I have started too early.

Refreshing...
-
Is there a list somewhere of favorite or "must have" mods...and where to get them?

I think you misspoke there, what you really meant was: "Give it a couple of months."
I'm going to start doing it anyway...

On a related note - I play on a Dell laptop with integrated Intel graphics card. Everything looks pretty good (surprisingly) except the menu where you pick the battle to play has smudgy lettering. The GUI also has smudgy lettering. Anyone had that problem?

Is it refresh monkey time?

Surprised there aren't more comments about the progress on the patch that was mentioned...patch fatigue?
We're trying to leave things clear for a "real" announcement.

Let me guess, Panzerblitz is one of them. IIRC that was Battlefront Steve's first wargame too and Eastfront is still his favorite subject.
If it was his first love why don't we have early war East Front by now? Hmmm?

Well Panzerblitz was my second game, I selected Panzer leader first, heard it had improved on the rules. but it was not long before I had both.
But I am afraid squad Leader was the game that won me over, that was the start to a path of no return. Thus the reason I am here today. These games have replaced those early starts.
We are exact twins!

And I still have a big stack of paper games from the '70s and '80s. I doubt that I will ever play any of them again, but they hold too many happy memories to let go of just yet. They are like an old dog that has become too crippled up to go hunting with, but he is still a loving companion that you won't have put down.

Same. They might not make the inevitable downsize to come though. I will be sure to let you guys know if anyone is interested in taking them in...

Also a bit put off to conclude that some 3.0 games were actually preferable over their 4.0 version. But I did not get to playing much Combat Mission in the past year anyways.
On a positive note, maybe some small improvements that evolved during the prolonged CM:SF2 project will benefit the WW2 games through this upcoming patch.
Your optimism is encouraging...

Must have been effective at the start of the war when armor wasn't that thick. But in game terms, they tend to be ineffective as one generally only gets one or two in a scenario. In RL they would be deployed in large numbers. Imagine your early war tank being hit by half a dozen at the same time.
And very hard to spot in cover. Very hard...

In my experience the CM games universally have been rock solid stability wise on my current half crappy laptop and my previous crappy laptop.
Same. I have the graphics turned way down of course but it runs nicely and I can play anywhere.

Ahem. Seems like I've been in that boat a number of times. Not a lot of freeboard on that tub, is there?
