For several years now I've hoped that CMx3 will be used to do early war. Med Theatre seems most likely as they could have a module for the US forces in the 'later' years. Though still very unlikely.

CM:A is coming home They've identified and made contact with the rights holder(s) and are in negotiations.

I have just now successfully registered CMFB and Downfall onto Matrix, got Steam keys for both and registered them on Steam. Now awaiting release.

CMFB isn't due to be released on Steam until December/January . . . fingers crossed.

What was the name of the map? Was it a random map selection?

I just looked at the original scenario and there is an Exit zone for the Germans. It's Objective 8, runs down the right side and a small part of the 'top' of the map.

For clarity the release date refers to December 2023/January 2024

I'm probably completely wrong . . . could it be the the tank designated as M4A3(76)W ? There is an early and mid variant I found using a scenario date of May '45 - I didn't check other dates.

This rang a bell: In the campaign briefing notes it tells you if you lose two consecutive battles it will give you the 'X' version of the battle which gives the player 3 hours. This is to help struggling players to progress in the campaign.

@BornGinger Didn't watch Rings of Power, but I watched the summary...

"Inspired by..." + BBC = I won't be watching it.

You can, when at the lowest camera position, use the zoom key to give you a good view of what the infantry see. I find it best to lock onto a unit then use the zoom - sorry I can't recall the keys for zoom in and out.

This worked on my laptop Right-click executable click on properties click compatibility tab click Change High DPI Settings button Tick the High DPI scaling override box click OK click Apply click OK Start the game.

I still have my Shock Force mousepad.

My guess would be Operation Torch as the first game for CMx3 - it has the extra shock value of the French fighting the US troops. Followed by a module covering the Brits-Commonwealth fighting the Afrika Korps and maybe the Italians. I would love to see the early part of the war but it's just a dream. But then again if the partnership with Slitherine is a huge success maybe...maybe...

To all those veterans thinking "I ain't wasting time on no training campaign..." I have three words for you - Oh my god And if you want the full experience the little tinker branches...twice. So that's four times the misery!

Installed. Activated. Beer and munchies in easy reach. I'm going in...

Installing... I have to say, I am more a WWII wargamer than the modern stuff and yet I am more excited about this than I was about F&R.

Extracting...

They need to have that request as the first line.

May 4th

Go to the Slitherine site and login. Click on My Page On the right you will see a menu titled 'My Page'. Click on the bottom option 'Register Serial' Use the 'Game' drop down menu to find CMBS Enter your Battlefront licence in the 'Serial' box Press 'Register' Your game will now appear in your list of games. Press the Steam key button under your CMBS game. You should now have your Steam key.

'Slitherine' doesn't know you bought the game on Battlefront. It knows about the licence key and is waiting for you to identify yourself. On My Page you need to do a search for the game and then enter your key. Edit: The game will then appear amongst your games. Just click the 'Steam key' button and your Steam key should appear.

Great! Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure I've heard, on the odd occasion, my lads shout 'bang!'
