Reusing existing maps is a good thing. A utility to upconvert 3rd party CMXX scenarios / or maps to CMx2... if possible is an even better thing. Maybe some how to use the Editor videos on map / scenario design would be useful? Might help develop a few more CMx2 boards that could be switched around for even more different combos.Beginners level. Daily Variety player level and a Historically Accurate level how to videos. No question CM2 offers more hours of content than most games do so I am not complaining just suggesting.

Cool! I volunteer to test Gustav Line "Bestiary" on my Mac.

I am in the camp of "I don't have enough time to play all this great stuff!" for sure. "With CMx2 the bar is raised quite a bit higher and so the skills and motivation levels are also higher. Add to that the increased controls and diverse victory conditions in CMx2 and you get a lot more variety and quality..." I agree. "If everybody who buys the game makes just one and uploads it to Repository we'd be playing new scenarios from now til doomsday. So its up to you! Look at the staggering volume of 3rd party CMSF scenarios available. Seeing the effort required to get a good scenario and time limits many folks may not make the effort. You are correct re: ".. half the 'fun' of the CM series is that rockin' scenario editor." I never purchased the CMPB - CM Playboy subscription. Is that a module, a pack, a separate game or a hidden forum thread Look at the staggering volume of 3rd party CMSF scenarios available. This is why one desirable item in the CMSF-2 wish list is a way to upconvert 3rd party CMSF scenarios to CMSF-2... if possible. "I just totaled up the amount of campaigns and scenarios for Fortress Italy and Gustav Line...If you were to play all of the campaigns and scenarios (from one side only) in real time without ever pausing to issue orders or survey the situation or read the briefings or anything at all, it'd take you over 40 hours to get through all of the content. Not including Quick Battles and the new Quick Battle maps and formations etc. That's non-stop running through it as fast as humanly possible. Playing normally, you'd actually multiply that 40 by some number (depending on how cautious you are)." Real time without ever pausing to issue orders... etc. is some serious CM fun! So I guess I need to schedule a week off The GL release date is when again

Thanks Sequoia for the British Forces Dealership / "Bestiary"

The Gustav Line thanks you Aris. "The Gustav Line module terrain folder alone is nearly 500 megs big." Such a tease

How about a Gustav Line "Bestiary" file included with launch? Like a "Dealership" file to se all the enchanted by extraordinary units / vehicles in our Toy Box. Might help average folks decide what they want to play with tonight

How about a CMSF-2 "Bestiary" file included with launch? Like a "Dealership" file to se all the enchanted by extraordinary units / vehicles in our Toy Box. Might help average folks decide what they want to play with tonight

Good question Sequoia. I would like to see all of the Main contenders. Order - US Army US Marines Russian Army Russian Airborne forces Ukranian Army Ukranian Airborne forces British Army German Army Polish Army

Sandy will come in handy. Thanks MikeyD

I would enjoy this in CMSF-2. Doubt it would make it for the reasons listed in the thread but would be cool.

Thanks Blimey. You have been very productive! Anticipating CMSF-2? Will try this mod as soon as I get back to town.

Could be useful when scouting for partisans who have wine & chickens for resupply

"Release is near. It will be available the day it's ready, but we don't know what that day is. Other than not this weekend" Steve Maybe my tingling sensation was not a super power...just my belt was to tight

Can't view videos out here in the woods as internet is way to slow. Some of the hits I have seen in the videos before concur with "if you keep popping out from the same corner..." your probability of getting hurt and or worse increases a lot. When you add the armor / RPGs / HMGs and occasional fanatical "aggressive action" all in very close quarters .... nasty combat for sure.

I named my monkey Gustav

You will enjoy Habibollah Kalay Fuzee. Let us know how you approached it using "PID" and results when you have time.

Have you experienced cheating in a CMSF email game?

Looked. Don't have it here Sequoia. Don't recall Marines involving a night attack on a village with the objectives named after Flintstone characters. Will check again back in City.

Quick look in my CMSF Mod "toy box" shows: T72 Sand/Green Marco Bergman .brz Z_GEM_SAND_AAV7_V01.brz Z_GEM_Sand_LAVs_v01.brz Z_GEM_Sand_Strykers_v01.brz No sand BMP 2s that I have in my "Mod Bucket" external drive for CM games. Will check the HD when I get back in the city.

"minestrone" preorder made with the house weeks ago. I am also getting that tingly feeling way out here in Rural America.... Home of the Brave, Land of the Free and very sloooow satellite internet. So if Mama's minestrone is ready for Mother's Day ... tingly feeling.... I can watch those small packets dribble ever so slowly from the heavens onto my MBP while fighting in CMSF

OK... I will pass on the Consommé. How about a Gustav Gravy delivery ... with snow on top

"Day of days". That would be Habibollah Kalay? I have not completed it but have advanced about 2/3 way through. I would not assume you can obliterate any and all along the map. At least I did not find that to be the case. You will enjoy it. Good Luck.

8-12 KM is a BIG map. Big Maps can be fun wit the right equipment. 4X4 KM is about the maximum I have fired up in CMSF now (I think) and that is plenty big for a good fight with modern equipment. I do not think CMSF-2 will go that big. That would almost be another CM game. If Russia is heading into Ukraine they would not be as air defense countermeasure heavy being mobile and on the attack I would think.

The tedious corner plotting is not too much in a tiny urban scenario. Make the same urban scenario HUGE and it gets time consuming.To be fair... "avoid traffic jams" hot key would be another AI calculation that serious grogs may not desire.
