If you enjoy the eastern front at all, adding Fire and Rubble is well worth all the additional hours of CM goodness you'll get.

Yes, I forgot to mention the battle pack is a must have too.

Exactly, despite the AFV losses, your actual casualties were quite low compared to the Germans.
It would have been a very plausible real life result, imho.

I want to give you guys and gals a preview of what's going to be in my 2nd infantry pack. Hope you enjoy! As you know feedback is always excepted and appreciated

Agreed, and the (cheap) Battle Pack also has some wonderful stuff.

Version 3 of my large/huge Gruppe Boehm to Le Rocher scenario has been posted at the Scenario Depot. It changes both American and German experience levels and adds Special Movement Rules.
Explanation: When I first play-tested the scenario I moved the Germans primarily along the roads, moving off-road only to  deal with American strong points that interdicted the advance. I felt that this was appropriate given the pitch black night and unfamiliar terrain. Recent players proved themselves to be more imaginative, stretching the German force right across the map and advancing over the American positions. Although this was fair and appropriate play, it was completely unlike what was possible in the historical situation. In response I have added Special Movement Rules to limit, but not entirely eliminate, off-road movement. Feedback received also suggested that the American 'Green' experience rating vs the German 'Crack' gave the German player an overwhelming advantage. Although a mix of 'Green' and 'Normal' appears appropriate for the American Division at that time, 'Crack' was certainly an exaggeration for the German side. Although at the start of June, Lehr was 'Green' for other ranks and 'Veteran' for officers, by mid-July Lehr would be a mix of 'veteran' and 'normal'. I have revised the settings by selecting 'Typical' and leaving it up to the program to randomly allocate the levels it has coded as appropriate to these divisions in July.
How the combination of these two changes will play has yet to be seen. I don't have the time to test it. Other players are welcome to revise any of my maps and scenarios as they please.  I will not be making any more revisions to any of my past projects and am abandoning my "6th Airborne East of the Orne" project. Work continues on my Operation "Coup de Main" campaign project.
 

I previously released an infantry pack for CMBS sometime ago. Since thence been using the Black Sea models in SF2. SOOOOOOO I thought why not an infantry pack for SF2. This one will be a bit better than the last. its still in progress. im in school full time so when I get breaks in between. I'll be reaching out to some of you for help and I'll definitely shout you out in the end. What can you expect? Im an infantry guy so I want to make things as authentic as possible for everyone!!!
1. 10+ infantry units
2. Updated Sounds(M4,M249, Javelin, etc)
3. Modded uniforms(Combat Shirts,ISAF patches, rolled sleeves, etc)

GHQ microarmor and Close Combat were my tactical ground combat go to's in the years leading up to CM's release.
When I saw that magazine ad and went to check it out, I was immediately hooked and it's been 90% of my gaming since 99.

Here's how mission two went for me...
 

Yawn. I think I will take a little break on the soldiers and move over to a vehicle for a while...
Already in CMFI is the M-24 Chaffee so no "Fake Lobster" here!
The good old scale modeler hobby is always a juicy source of vehicle markings.





I made it back before the one hour curfew!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So, now I will swing over to some CMFI Korea 1950 Mod map making. I have this nice photo here to guide me.
@Lucky_Strike Hey dude, we all miss you. Mark, I have tried emails and PM's. I need some KOREAN terrain help!
But please just let us know you are ok and all is well.

NOTE TO SELF: I need to mod the CMFI horizons to be more lush and green for Korea. Or maybe check with H&E first. @37mm 
 

Same here, and he's not wrong.

Rest in Peace, Corporal Del Ware, US Army, 24 August 1932 - 29 August 2023

Alright, first efforts, still need to add back the pockets and buttons and stitching of the neck opening.



 
 
 
 
 
 

For sure the more I play CM the more I realize that using the terrain for your advantage as much as possible is super important.

Same here, and he's not wrong.

The BFC way, it'll be ready when it's ready.

This mod from @RockinHarry helps 250 and 251 gunners immensely.
Page 4 and 5 of the thread have a number of comments from him about it as he worked through several iterations.

Brendan McBreen, a retired USMC Lieutenant Colonel, ran 300 squad assaults in CMSF and drew insights from them. McBreen, who has 25 years of service as an infantry officer, found that the service's manuals and training materials give only vague and inadequate guidance about how to conduct a squad assault. He used CMSF to run a series of tests, matching a rifle squad against different defenders, and tallied up the results. 
Then he wrote up his findings. The whole series of seven articles appears over on the Tactical Notebook, a Substack run by Bruce Ivar Gudmundsson, a historian in Quantico. 
Abstract Part I Part II Part III (test setup within CMSF) Part IV Part V (tactical insights) Part VI (recommendations) Among McBreen's recommendations: "train with simulations" and "use simulations to improve our manuals."
