The DAR. The battle has ended. Update coming most likely this weekend.
Okay, thanks. Enjoyed this battle. I wasn't sure urban fighting would be interesting to watch, but i was wrong. Great battle.

We're close gents. Probably one last big update once it's all done and dusted.
I take it you're referring to this DAR, not to the module itself?

Seen people from other forums see CM crowd as an elitist, closed, militarist, uber pro usa bunch of guys who get hostile easily when someone says something that most often then not triggers them. Something down that line.
Uber pro usa? How dare they!

Honestly people are panicking way too much over Steam reviews. To the point that I actually question whether people commenting actually use the platform. Here are some reviews for "serious wargames" many of which look significantly worse than CM. Some of these are literally chits on a map.
Command Ops 2: Very Positive
Graviteam Tactics: Very Positive
Flashpoint Campaigns: Very Positive
Armored Brigade: Very Positive
War in the East: Very Positive
War in the West: Very Positive
Decisive Campaigns: Very Positive
Command (CMO/CMNO): Very Positive
Scourge of War: Very Positive
Take Command: PositiveGood point.

Not sure what this means for the future of CM, but it sounds good.

I did catch a break. @Aragorn2002 you finally got to see a screenshot of the SPW 251/21. Now here is one of it blowing up and one of it burning.
And the Sherman is high tailing it out of there while it still can.
Even now it looks good. Well, thank you for chosing this beauty in the first place. Much appreciated.

If I recall correctly the 'ideal' frontline for a German division in WW2 was something like 7 to 8 kilometres, but it usually was a multiple of that. Not sure about that number, so if anyone wants to correct that, please do.

All for now. There's less than 30 mins left on the clock. I see Elvis' thread is getting all the views and replies. <sniff>
Probably last call for questions before this is all over.
Believe me, I'm following your thread with the same interest as that of Elvis. Great battle so far.

Back down by Jagermeister things aren't quite as rosey. @Aragorn2002's SPW 251/21 is proving to be a pain in more ways than on. In ONE shot it completely eliminated a Maxim MG team. Also, related to the SPW 251/21 I tried to move an AT Rifle team into position to take it out and one of the guys in the team got hit. Wanna guess which one?
As my parents always told me: praying helps.

That is indeed great news, MJ. For me your mod is offering great comfort during the long wait for Fire & Rubble.

Have internet access for a short while...Aragorn, no, not annoyed at all. There usually isn't a lot of feedback for mods or scenarios and campaigns. It's just the nature of the beast. Thanks everyone, glad you like it.
Can you see how many downloads you had for this superb mod until now, MJ? Would be interesting to see and to compare that to only a handful reactions on the forum.

I could although I prefer to play against the AI if I can.
But you can switch between AI and playing both sides yourself, right?

This is fair enough for me, having only recently bought the BN big bundle and not long before that RT. Haven't even got FB or RtV yet, so my spare time is already pre-allocated for quite a while to come. Of course I'll jump on Fire & Rubble when it comes along, but I for one am happy that @BFCElvisdoes actually respond in the forum rather than having the tumbleweed roll past
. Forgive me if I sound like I'm kissing somewhere I shouldn't, this is not my intention...
That's okay, in your case I can understand. But Red Thunder was released in 2014, so it's about time this module will finally compliment it. It may not have been worked on for 6 years, but it has been a mighty long wait. And still is. Apart from that release estimate after release estimate has been broken, so just 'ride the wave' doesn't cut it anymore.

From having a quick read I think lack of AI scripting in the CM side might be a problem. And also not sure how you can predict an enemy assault is going to happen in PzC, although I guess I could live with just playing my assaults,
Well, you can play both sides, so that's not a problem.

Were you toying with me or didn't you know about this post either?
I wasn't toying, Majick. I must have noticed that post, but never read it. It's only since a couple of months that I become trully interested in the combination of PZC and CM. But I'm going to read your post. Looks very interesting, so thank you for pointing that out.

I'm sure the community would appreciate an update on the current status of Fire and Rubble. Can we expect a release in the autumn?
It's a simple enough question. If the answer will turn out to be a 'no' I can only conclude that F&R has become a sideshow, like R2V was. I don't buy all this 'we don't even know ourselves, things have become so complicated, so how dare you to ask' talk, followed by the usual declarations of support, understanding or even indignation.
All of this doesn't bode well for the future, so yes, Wade, I'm pretty agitated about it all.

Although the battle for Berlin has not really been on the top of my list as far as reading or playing goes... the upcomming CM release has sparked my intrest in this period far more...
I'm really looking forward to the game
Me too.BF never disappoints. After all is said and done these guys are simply the best developers of wargames in the world. The module will be breathtaking, of that I'm sure. Although I also have a wishlist like everybody else (Eastern front 1942-1943, Finland 1939-1944 and North Africa 1940-1943), I will have everything I could possibly wish for when Fire and Rubble comes out. I have no idea what the future will bring after this module and we should prepare ourselves for even longer development times, but of one thing I'm sure: it will be stunning and second to none.

We need some technical guru to tell us how to edit the save file. now that would be something...
Indeed. I'm studying the editor at this moment and it's not as limited as I at first thought. I found out it's possible to use the Kursk oob in combination with the Charkow 43 map in order to recreate the Fourth battle of Charkow in August 1943.

Indeed. I have rescheduled my entire summer around a 21 Sept release.
In your case I can understand that.
More useless comments are welcome, so please don't hesitate.

My opinion on all this is that's it's ready when it's ready. It's better to have people complaining about when it's going to be released then complaining that it's buggy, uniforms aren't correct, why did they release it so soon, etc...
Thank you for sharing this wisdom.
Probably last call for questions before this is all over.
Fire and Rubble Update
in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Posted
I agree. Improved forum, Steam, co-operation with other companies, DAR etc. All quite interesting, but we are waiting for the release of Fire and Rubble.
