Aragorn2002 got a reaction from A Canadian Cat in Mord's CMFB Unit Portraits Mod
Yeehawwww! (not very helpful, but heartfelt).
Perhaps this is useful as a start, Mord. German OOB for September 1944, too soon for you, I know.

Please join in, people, this man has a job to do!

No problem, Mord. I also found this. Look at Kriegsgliederungen/OOB's. But in the same category as the above link, I'm afraid, so feel free to ignore it. I will continue to look though.

Aragorn2002 got a reaction from Mord in Stalingrad IL2
You impatient man.
Let's hope it does, Mord. Most if not all tank sims are too buggy or too complicated. I don't think these guys will make that mistake.

Aragorn2002 got a reaction from Macisle in Kharkov Map Sneak Peak
This is great! And a good example of how BF should sell their games, namely with more and better screenshots that will attract lots of wargamers.
Apart from that I think a stone grey sky would be even more atmospheric.

Aragorn2002 reacted to rocketman in [Released] Rittersprung (H2H only)
It has been a long time in the making, and was previously known as the project "Man of the Our", but is now "Rittersprung H2H".
Scenario description:
After being severely decimated in the battle for the Hürtgen Forest, the 28th Infantry Division was sent to the rear to rest and refit. The 112th Infantry Regiment got located in the tri-country area of Lieler-Ouren-Lützkampen, spanning Luxembourg, Germany and Belgium – a six mile stretch of land on both sides of the Our river where the Siegfried Line had its westernmost fortifications, now occupied by the Allies. The 28th ID had just about recovered 100 % strength, with replacement units getting basic combat training, when the Germans launched their massive attack in the Ardennes on december 16th 1944. The crossing of the Our at Ouren would be an important part in the German advance and it was upon the 112th IR of the 28th ID to protect it as long as possible.
It is 10:30 on Dec 17th and the 112th IR was engaged in combat with German forces on the 16th and throughout the night. The morning fog has lifted but it is still misty from the cold and the wet ground. Visibility is reasonable but it is hard to make out units in the mist. Units in Lützkampen and Harspelt were swept aside on the 16th. Sevenig town was also attacked by a green force of Volksgrenadiers but was able to hold on. The Volksgrenadiers suffered a lot of casualties and many prisoners were taken. They are now presumed to be hiding in the woods west of Sevenig.
Semi-historical scenario which is aiming to capture a “what-if” combat based on units and turn of events that happened in the opening days of the Ardennes offensive.
It can be downloaded here: http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/uncategorized/rittersprung-h2h/
Enjoy, and all feedback is very welcome.

Gorgeous map, Macisle. The centre of Berlin. Keep them coming please.

It looks stunning and makes me long for a 1942/42 module for CMRT, imagine this map in the winter and fighting the Third battle of Kharkov on it. Mouth-watering....

Imagine that building against a grey sky, while the cold Eastern wind is blowing and the snow is whirling down. Magic.
A vehicle pack with early war tanks and stuff for CMRT. Yes, that would be something.

Superb stuff! I never gave a Stalingrad module much thought, but now I start to realize it would be great.

Aragorn2002 got a reaction from STAGEMAN in The Lions are hunting! (work in progress)
The Lions are Hunting
After the collapse of Hrs. Gr. Mitte in White Russia in the past summer of 1944 the situation of Hrs. Gr. Nord in the Baltics also has become critical. Between the two army groups an ever increasing empty space is developing, the so-called ‘Baltisches Loch’, the Baltic hole, in which the Red Army quickly attacks and during the month of July fights it’s way to the Baltic Coast. The connection between Hrs. Gr. Nord and the rest of the German frontline is now severed. The Germans rapidly launch Operation Doppelkopf, in an attempt to reconnect with the endangered army group. Spearhead of this operation is Panzergrenadier-Division Grossdeutschland (as part of the XXXX. Panzerkorps, 3. Panzerarmee), which tries to re-conquer the highway and railway between Mitau and Schaulen, in order to keep the supplies to the North flowing. During August 1944 Grossdeutschland claws it’s way forward through the beautiful Baltic landscape, dealing out heavy blows to the Soviet 51st Army, but at the same time taking very heavy losses itself due to the tough resistance on the ground and the ever present swarms of Russian ‘Fleischer’, the IL-2 Shturmowik ground attack aircraft. In the following month of September Hrs. Gr. Nord has to fall back on Riga because of the irresistible Russian pressure and in order to help their comrades in the North. 3. Pz. Armee launches operation Cäsar, the renewed attack in the direction of Schaulen. Again the (resupplied) GD is in the thick of the fighting. Reaching Riga seems possible for a moment, but then at the beginning of October the Russian High Command begins yet another fierce offensive, this time aimed at Memel, which threatens to cut off not only Hrs.Gr. Nord, but also the 3. Pz. Armee trying to relief it. Even worse is that Eastern Prussia, already heavily fought over in August, is again in danger of being invaded by the Red Army. While Hrs. Gr. Nord is withdrawing to its doom in Courland, the GD is racing back to the south to prevent the approaching disaster at the German borders.
07:00 A.M. 9th October 1944
On the 9th October Kampfgruppe von Brese via Plateliai and Salantai reaches the area of Krottingen, 20 km to the Northeast of Memel. The Russian 3rd Guards Tank Corps has yesterday crossed the Minge river, east of Jokubavas, and taken the village, despite the resistance of some weak elements of the GD reconnaissance battalion (AA). The evacuation route of the entire GD division towards Memel is now under threat of being cut off. And Memel, with its seaport is the only possibility of evacuation to and continuation of the fighting in the defence of Eastern Prussia.
Our Kampfgruppe, named after Oberst von Brese, the experienced commander of Panzer Füsilier Regiment GD, contains mentioned regiment, reinforced with I. Pz. Rgt. 26 and III.Abt. Pz. Art. Rgt. GD, a formidable force with huge firepower.
For the attack on Jokubavas we have the following elements of our Kampfgruppe:
1. I.SWP/Pz.Füs.Rgt. GD (Hptm. von Basse), nicknamed ‘Löwenbataillon”, Lion Battalion, including 13.IG Company (self propelled Grille)
2. 4.Komp. of I./Pz.Rgt.26
3. Two batteries 105 mm guns of III/Pz.Art.Rgt.GD
The rest of our Kampfgruppe attacks at his very moment in the direction of Raguviskiai. From our comrades of the AA GD we know that we’re up against veterans of the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, supported by elements of 18th Guards Tank Brigade and the 1496th Self propelled Regiment, so mainly T-34/85s and Su-76s. They haven’t had much time to dig in, but we all know Iwan doesn’t need much time to go underground anyway.
Our mission is to buy time for the rest of the division to escape to the bridgehead around Memel. There we will make our last stand, before being evacuated to Eastern Prussia. So, buying time means that we will have objectives, but not at all costs. And this is only a delaying action, we will move out to Memel ourselves tomorrow. Try to remember that, gentlemen, because many more battles are waiting for us and the division has suffered badly in the past months.
Anyone interested?

Hi Chris. Since you seem to be the only one who is still communicating at this forum regarding the future of CM, I would like to ask you to give us an updated 'road ahead' for the coming year or so. Especially some news about the next CMRT module would be very welcome.

Olebouch, I hope you are still working on this great scenario. It is such a good design, especially for a first attempt. You have talent, my friend and we desperately need people like you.
