  1. It does mention them but only briefly. As I said, it's more of an overview than a detailed account of military actions, but I've found it really interesting, and as you say, well-researched. Surprised about the kindle price - £15 in the UK.

    Edit: Just to add, the bibliography might be very useful, being pretty much up to date.

     

  2. Just picked up a new book (published February 2021) which whilst not a conventional military history is directly relevant to F & R: 

    Bastiaan Willems, Violence in Defeat: The Wehrmacht on German Soil, 1944-1945 (Cambridge University Press, 2021). It actually focuses entirely on the defence of East Prussia, and is a wide ranging thematic study of East Prussian society and the behaviour of the Wehrmacht. Thoroughly recommended.

    If that was the case, you'd expect to see more user-made single-player scenarios and activity around scenario hosting sites, particularly for the newer releases. But as it stands, CMFB has very relatively few user made scenarios, considering how long it has been released and the popularity of its subject matter.

    I agree that there have been very few user made scenarios recently, but as Ian's site shows (http://www.combatmission.lesliesoftware.com/ ) there are some 360 scenarios and 26 campaigns for CMBN, which seems quite a lot to me:)

  4. One of the forums I visit regularly is Grogheads. There is a recent discussion on their computer wargames sub-forum entitled 'programmers at bfc', which has quotes from Steve saying that CMSF2 is a priority for 2017. There is also other news re other modules and packs. I can't vouch for it, but it does seem genuine - and great news if true.
