GhostRider3/3 got a reaction from Warts 'n' all in Kampfgruppe Peiper Campaign
Glad you enjoyed the Campaign. It was a good one. There are many more. I saw your critiques, you are not wrong in some, but some are harder to complete to make the game manageable. My guess as far as HE into Houses is, yes devastating but not nearly as devastating as putting SMOKE rounds in a building as they are phosphorus-based. The Germans did this at Arnhem, and visa versa possibly. I do find the HE rounds effective, it just may take 2-3 rounds, MG fire is so so, but the German FLAK guns are devastating to Infantry in buildings most of the time. Stragglers are a pain but they possibly did this because of mechanics... maybe?
As far as the Campaign is replenished, that is all based on the designer. I look at how many days is this campaign, and realistically it would be to replenish troops in combat the next day. Sure in real life you could take a driver and give him a rifle, but honestly he might be too shell-shocked or such to even be of any use. Anyhow good stuff, there are many scenarios and campaigns out there.

There must be at least a dozen who have previously said they would buy it 🤣. Me being one.
If they adopted your trademarked name, who could resist it?

Honestly, at least for the Mediterranean Theatre, I just wish we got the TOE's. No scenarios or campaigns, we can make those ourselves. LOL I just wan the ability to use the editor to create 41-42 (Late) Scenarios where I feel its most competitive on both sides. Damn challenging for PVP as well. PBEM.

I'll add my sig to the conversation. It says it all for me!

True, I also think that there is a plethora of people that would enjoy the challenge difficulties of early war, especially with the German Forces as their tanks were... say on Par with Allied tanks, not a real advantage, and the Soviets would definitely be a major challenge, from AT rifles to the obvious T-34, and KV tanks. All in all I think the early war is more exciting as far as historical battles and just pure challenge.

The Matilda mk2, 'queen of the desert', pretty much the early wars equilivant of the tiger at least in terms of its armour, still had a crap gun though.

In terms of economy of scale, producing the units for 1939-41 would enable several products: Early War in Europe, Poland '39. And of course North Africa/Afrika Korps.

GhostRider3/3 reacted to Vergeltungswaffe in Will we ever get a CMAK 2.0
I've wanted CMx2 40-41 in the desert more than anything else.
They're just not going to put in the time and effort to create it since Steve says sales wouldn't justify it.
He certainly knows better than I do, but I'll keep hoping and dreaming of the day when I can once again enjoy the thrill of Crap Tanks™ in the desert blazing away at ludicrous distances and missing constantly.

GhostRider3/3 reacted to Centurian52 in The year to come - 2024 (Part 2)
Maybe someday in the distant future, when we all have our own personal moon-sized supercomputers, someone will make a single game that fully integrates air, ground, naval, and space warfare on the tactical, operational, and strategic levels in the full rich detail in which Combat Mission currently covers tactical ground warfare. For now though, there's Combat Mission for tactical ground warfare. There's Command Ops 2 for operational ground warfare. And there's Command: Modern Operations for air and naval warfare. There really isn't anything that does a good job of covering the strategic level, though I suppose either Darkest Hour or Hearts of Iron 4 are ok until someone gets around to making something better. For nuclear warfare I can highly recommend Nuclear War Simulator.
In any case, I don't see any sense in Combat Mission trying to push up into the operational layer. The tactical level is where it specializes.

I'm still hoping for that eventually. But I think it's going to be a while. A lot of other things may take priority

The Canadians will have the Leopard 1. The A3 version I believe. So we'll be getting a good preview of some German equipment at least.

GhostRider3/3 got a reaction from Aragorn2002 in Combat Mission Cold War - British Army On the Rhine
Well, I really can't wait for this expansion to come out, The Brits and Canadians will be a nice ad, but will still wait for my kin, the Germans.. LOL Really want to blast with anything from a Leopard 1A2-A5. I could see a late expansion as well using even more modern equipment in the mid-late 80s's But this expansion will be super fun. Can't wait to play the Brits as well.

GhostRider3/3 reacted to kohlenklau in CMFI FRANCE 1940 BRONZE PACK IS RELEASED!!!
I am having a blast modding this FRANCE 1940 project. I am not sure what Bootie will do over at CMMODSIV. I hope he uploads the BRONZE release.
Take a look at this.
Yes, I DO have some texture things to fix and Blender is kicking my butt for some things I need to do on the model.
But I changed the UI branch and portrait and silhouette. AND the floating icon.
Dang...and I still gotta edit the e out of Sturmgeshutz. hahaha

I am trying to figure out what head gear to plop on my France 1940 StuG crews.
I consulted with my personal STUG expert @Heinrich505 but he wasn't 100% sure.
Then I just saw this...
Wow! I have 592 subscribers to my youtube channel. I am amazed.

GhostRider3/3 reacted to kohlenklau in CMFI FRANCE 1940 BRONZE PACK IS RELEASED!!!
At the end of this week I will release a small patch for Bronze to fix a human error where I left out something...
...but it also includes a little plus up bonus gift (no, not steak knives) and maybe a couple small scenarios.
StuG offer support to your beautiful "vegamite fried-out combie" 1940 soldiers. @Damian45

German infantry advance under fire by a rear guard of French infantry.
Fritz taking potshots at French infantry while his company advances forward!
German infantry firing at few remaining French infantry that are fighting to the bitter death.
Last remaining French surrendered! the battle was a swift victory for Germany.

hahaha funny man. From now on, post your joke funny comments is ok only if you send a new screenshot. Help the mod!
I guess calling things "she" and "her" is a tradition from the navy. Maybe woke modern world frowns on this? I don't care.
ALWAYS POST A SCREENSHOT!

In about 2 weeks we will release the FR40B SILVER PACK which includes the Char B1 bis. Get your pre-order in now while supplies last!
She is a big girl who can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'...!
...until she went on a date with an eighty-eight!
ALSO IN THE SILVER PACK will be the Panzer IVD. And the crew is wearing their fashionable panzerwaffe berets. Because they are in France. Oui?

GhostRider3/3 got a reaction from Vacillator in The first Battle for Normandy Tournament is ready for signups.
Thank you Vacillator, much appreciated. If anyone should ever want it, It's on my Dropbox. It was with "A Few Good Men" Sight, but it's not there anymore. But if anyone should ever need it just PM me, it has two AI plans.

GhostRider3/3 reacted to JoMac in Barkmann's Corner revisited
For Chits & Grins...I substituted the Panther for a PzIVH, and played this Scenario several times and was doing fairly well. This, until the M4's showed up (was able to get anywhere from 0-2 M4's on average) before getting KO'ed.

Great intro video for what is a great battle.
Slightly off topic but @GhostRider3/3 did an excellent later version of the same battle, called 'Barkmanns Corner Revisited'. I played it single player as Axis a while ago and it was a tough one but I was ultimately successful. H2H might be somewhat trickier I'm sure...

GhostRider3/3 reacted to Bil Hardenberger in Combat Mission Cold War - British Army On the Rhine
We wanted to concentrate on the British Army of the Rhine and Canadians first, mainly for selfish reasons and also because we have a couple people on the team who are experts on the British Army so it was the obvious choice for us.
We do have plans for the German Army too, but that will unfortunately have to wait.
