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.

Final Blitzkrieg for Matrix/Steam (December/January) - last, but not least, the final CM2 Family of games will be released for Matrix/Steam with PBEM and Tournament systems. At the same time we'll release a new Module that will extend the timeframe through to the end of the war and introduce Commonwealth Forces plus the last ditch forces of the Third Reich.
Also well underway, but again marketing needs mean it’s release is a bit further down the road. Each product deserves its own time in the spotlight, donchaknow.
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.

1. When I saved and exit, and then reloaded I got nearly 3 hours to complete the scenario, instead of the original time limit. I noticed this in 2 scenarios.
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.

"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 OKStart 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.

I've gone to that page on Slitherine. My CMBS isn't there. That's the problem. Can I use the
activation key from the Battlefront site where the games do appear? Stuck.
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.

My copy isn't listed on the Slitherine "My Page".
I purchased it directly from Battlefront if that makes a difference.
'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!'
Will we ever get a CMAK 2.0

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.
