  1. Official word on the tank rider feature being worked into CMBN and CMFI. The honest answer is "I don't know". The workload is massive and the historical "need" for it is small compared to Eastern Front and late war settings (i.e. Germans ran out of trucks :)). That being said, it's the workload that's the issue.

    Now that there is support in the code for this feature we will include tank riders for new games. This does mean that a certain amount of vehicles in other games will get a makeover. Already the case, in fact, since we did have to retrofit some German vehicles for Red Thunder that are available in Normandy and a few in Italy. The problem is we shouldn't introduce this ad hoc since it makes no sense from a gameplay standpoint.

    I guess what you should hear is that if we could snap our fingers we'd do it. We're even willing to figure out a way that we can get it to you eventually. It's just that right now, today, we don't know exactly how we can make it happen.

    Straight from the horses mouth ;), thanks for the clarification Steve. While I am a bit bummed about the tank riders, I can understand your perspective, and I just wanted to say thanks for the hard work and effort you guys put into this great series of games, I will be picking up the upgrades for both sometime this week.

  2. It is being promoted that we can use the engine for both wars. How would one go about this? Do we have to wait for someone, or by myself, to mod this? Or is the game going to come packaged with the proper files. I do own most of the previous games of the series already, but I was just curious how one was to go about the transformation process between the two wars. I hope I am making sense :)

  3. Actually the start of the Cold War goes back to the end of the First World War. Following the abdication of Russian Tsar with the Russians signing a peace treaty with Germany and the ensuing Russian Civil War, the U.S. along with other allied nations sent troops to I believe Archangel and Vladivostok to protect supplies and to assist the White Army in attempting to stop the spread of Communism. I'm sure there is more to it than that, but that is all I can think of of the top of my head at this moment. smile.gif
