You guys deserve a knighthood for this...Best mod ever!

Thanks for your answer, Steve. My body is still fighting the impressive amount of red whine drank in the last few days, but I guess what you are saying is this: the new module will not bring new units like the Waffen SS, but will bring the last year of the war and the late war versions of the forces now present in CMRT (so for the Germans the regular army) plus winter and new regions. The other option would be all the units (including SS) of the last year of the war, but no winter and no new regions. Well, yes, if that is the choice I most certainly would prefer the first option (no Waffen SS), although a combination of both would have my (strong) preference. But you have a business to run and I appreciate that. A second module will also bring Waffen SS, Lend Lease and other goodies. I could live with that.

Can you also tell us some more about the plans for the CMRT module? What will be the focus, will it cover the entire last year on the eastern front? Will we be able to fight in Poland, the Baltics, Germany and Hungary? That sort of thing.

Hi Kohlenklau! Don't worry, it is not disturbing. I'm just missing some roofs for Eastern Europe. Enjoying myself tremendously, so take your time.

I'm playing winter battles now and couldn't be happier. What a great atmosphere. It makes me forget about the delayed release of CMFB. One question, guys, I'm missing several winter roofs. Am I missing something or aren't they complete yet?

Thank you, Baneman. Merry Christmas to you to. Now we'll have to wait for another a month or so for this game to be released, I hope this AAR will last for weeks and weeks. Very enjoyable.

Do I see big barns on page 31 of the manual (left corner below)? Woow.

Good to hear the CMRT winter module is coming. Thanks for the bone and Merry Christmas everyone.

I've just started to read this thread. It makes the AAR even more enjoyable. Although this battle ain't over yet, it is always interesting to see that a battle can be decided within seconds. Bil's strategy to hunt in couples (with tanks or tank destroyers) doesn't always seem to work.

No, don't forget Kohlenklau also developed a mod for the Bulge for CMFI, but that didn't prevent BF from making CMFB and rightly so. But this winter mod for CMRT is a nice interim solution until the CMRT winter module is coming (which will take what? Half a year? A year?). Of course nothing can replace that, since BF can do so much more. But for everyone who is missing the winter at the Eastern front this is a superb mod.

I would like to ask everyone's attention for this project. It is spectacular! I've just installed it all and I'm speechless, what a GREAT JOB!

This is SPECTACULAR, people!! Winter has come to the Eastern front!

We are all awaiting the release of CMFB, but in the mean time I would like to ask everyone's attention for the spectacular things Kohlenklau is doing with his WINTER MOD FOR CMRT. It is no less than spectacular! Winter has come to the eastern front and it looks amazing, people! Landscape, soldiers, vehicles, trees, all has been prepared for some nasty winter battles. Really, this is SPECTACULAR! DON'T MISS OUT ON IT!

Kohlenklau! Barbarico! I've just installed everything and this is SENSATIONAL! Perhaps most people at the forum are in anticipation of CMFB or busy with the Christmas preparations, but this is at least as exiting! What a great job, guys! Thank you so much!

I think it would be the decent thing to do if a Christmas release is not possible. Storm is exaggerated, disappointment yes, but if it isn't possible, we'll wait longer. Simple as that.

Some fine shooting. No doubt Bil will want his revenge, so yes, be careful, Baneman. Just not too careful, but let him keep on making the mistakes.

Perhaps a little information from the site of BF would be possible? Most people will by now have understood that things aren't going as smoothly as expected. That can happen, but a little information about when we can expect the game would be very welcome.

I can hear Baneman whistling: 'It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...' Bad luck, Bil, but as you said you've worked miracles before.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It is the usual preliminary barrage before the release of a game. I'm surprised we take it that seriously every time.

I demand we end this fruitless discussion by releasing the game. That will teach them!

My only fear is that those guys at BF one day will say: 'to h... with all of you, we are going to make science fiction games'.

What other games are those, Wiggum? Just curious.

I don't care much for 'new features', because I think this game is already close to perfection. New features bring delay and as said seldom satisfies anyone. I think there's some truth in most posts in this thread, but there isn't a game anywhere that can touch CM, so let's be glad that BF is willing to make such complicated and deep games. The engine is good enough as it is now and I hope BF will quickly go to the eastern front after this. To all you guys at BF working on it at the moment (and I bet you worked REAL hard for the past months): don't mind us too much. What you are doing is outstanding and second to none. Thank you for all your incredible work. Combat Mission RULES!

Absolutely stunning, guys!

Very enjoyable Saturday morning reading, Baneman. Perhaps you can bait that Hellcat with some infantry or a halftrack and nail him. I really hope you will.
