Five campaigns?

I'd like to see France '40 someday too but I expect they would do North Africa again first so I wouldn't even begin to anticipate it until maybe after that and they finish East Front '41 sometime in 2018 . Oh well, at least its more likely than the Pacific.

An old post by Steve:

Minor point since we don't actually see the aircraft, but are we early enough to have P-40s and Stukas? I have no idea of Italy's ground attack capabilities at that stage of the war.

I mentioned I might wait to purchase it since I have unfinished campaigns from CMBN but temptation is getting the best of me. Thanks

Artillerymen?

Melee is already in, it just doesn't look like it. Steve has said they could spend tens of thousands of dollars on melee animations and it still wouldn't look real so they just left the animations out.

Right. Here's the score by the way for all Combat Mission games and modules released so far: Germans 5 US 4 Poles 4 Brits 4 Canadians 4 French 2 Soviets 2 Italians 2 Finns 1 Rumanians 1 Hungarians 1 Dutch 1 Australians 1 New Zelanders 1 South Africans 1 Syrians 1 Afghanis 1 So the Poles as you see are right there at the top of the World Cup standings.

It's in the Forces thread page 2.

A lot to read there but I think I gleaned in Sept 43 a Tiger Co. had 14 Tigers.

Interesting, thanks! I don't think we had this level of detail in CMAK.

First thanks to Normal Dude for providing a rundown of US Ranger TO&E in another thread. Would it be possible to get a brief summary of the differences in US and German units between Sicily and Normandy? For instance I believe Heer Tank Platoons still had 5 tanks instead of 4 in late '43. Thanks

Will all this affect performance?

Does this mean a US squad with Springfields is possible for a unit with a poor equipment rating?

Besides the Herman Goering division the Luftwaffe had Fallschirmjaegers in Sicily. Will we get those initially or wait for a module (Perhaps after they've been done for CMBN Market-Garden)? For sure you can't do Cassino without Fallschirmjaegers

Will we have Blackshirt units in addition to regular Italian Army?

I don't suppose you'd like to tell us why you decided to pull a Churchill and go Italy first before tackling the Bulge?

Yes and their ammo carrying bear should be included.

Just noticed the Germans will have a Protze Truck.

Is the TO&E of the Rangers significantly different at the platoon level and below from regular US infantry?

Somalia- Blackhawk Down probably would work too. One could use Mikey D's Africa Mods.

Well you still get tech support of course, and maybe the MAC edition will require a patch of some sort, but as far as enhancements go I found these quotes: Anyway, the news is not all bad as apparently CMSF II is already being worked on.

I'm sure your info is valid but Battlefront has said there will be no more patches to this game. Sorry.

Steve said on page 8 of this thread they will be addressed in the next patch.

So can you formally introduce us to the "Team"? Someone Mentioned Clay was involved with Dropteam.
