    Don't bother, since you will be using CMx2, then expect Three-Fold more casualties then Historically was the case. So, the whole 506th should no longer be in existent after the 1st Campaign...Oops, you mean to only use 1x Company (Easy Company), then, I expect this to be done in one Battle.

    Do you want to make a point or were youre 2 braincells in conflict... If you have nothing good to say then don't say anything at all. All you guys do is bitch and moan about an idea I have. But don't worry I've found folks within my own community that want to help. And the proces is already underway. If you don't want to participate or help that is fine but bitching aint helping.

    What is going on at this point:

     

    Over at my own community (the FewGoodMen) I've found some guys how wanted to help. I've openend a Google Document where we add stuff and communicate. I've added some ideas of maps/scenario's and we are all searching for information regarding Easy company. The general idea is to create 2 campaigns following Easy company. 1 campaign starting on June the 5ht 1944 (CMBN) and on to late October 1944 (CMMG). The other campaign will start on December 16th 1944 on to  late Februari 1945 (CMFB). Although two seperate campaigns it tells one story. And I want to use CMFB because of the weather options. And yes characters you've lost during the first campaign can be back on the second one because historicly they did not die during the first campaign or survived the war. These are things that I can not avoid. Most scenarios are documented and can be found on the internet and in books. Some will be fictional but can count as if they could have happened. They will be in the area where the historical scenarios took place.

     

    I've any one create's a scenario I want him to find as many info regarding that scenario as possible. So it will take time to create one but we have the time ;) 

     

    @Combatintman If you like to help you are welcome to join. For CMFB I would like a Foy map. There are a few scenarios around Foy. Easy was in the forrest around Foy and beat off several attacks before they launched their attack on Foy itself. I don't know if you are a member of the FGM or if you wish to join but I'm more active on that forum then here :)

    I'd have a plan because having LT Winters resurrect himself at any point if he gets killed pretty much defeats the object of having a campaign. Campaign players need immersion and a narrative and right now you have a plan based on a readily identifiable hook - namely 'Band of Brothers'. You need to do a lot more thinking about this.

    Dude... I'm working on things. If you want to you can help but stop this. Thank you!

    I'm no noob regarding CM. I've created many tournament, campaigns and scenarios over the past years.

    I presume you are aware that your proposed campaign cannot be handled with a single campaign script because CMFB is separate from CMBN.

    Yes I am. It will be 3 seperate campaign scripts. There some things I can not avoid. For example: if Lt Winters is killed in Normandy he is magicly brought back to life in CMMG. So you have 3 campaigns to play wich tell the story of Easy Company.

    Greetings fellow Combat Mission fanatics,

     

    I’m thinking of creating a monster campaign called “We Band of Brothers”. It will be a campaign spanning all 3 base games (CMBN, CMMG and CMFB). This campaign will follow the footsteps of Easy company 506th PIR during their campaign in Europe starting from June 5th 1944 up until February 1945. In order to create this I’m looking for a team:

    • 3 map creators (level awesomeness). I mean those maps from CMFB are freeking awesome. Be of that type of level (or a bit less) :D

    • 4 scenario scripter’s who know how to script a scenario and campaign (because I can’t)

    • 1 historian who can search for OOB’s for both sides and create the storyline.  

    • I’ll create maps, help with the OOB’s and storyline.

    • All maps will be checked by the rest of the team to put the dots on the i :)

    All battle’s will be (semi) historical and some will be “what if”/“possible” scenario’s.

    It will be a time consuming project but well worth it for the community.

     

    Communication will go by Skype and email.

    If you think you can fill one of the above role’s please contact me.

    • Tell what role you think you can handle

    • (optional) show some sort of resume of your (previous) work with scenario building

    Ow, c'mon. Meijel is just around the corner. It is still the Peel!

    Have you looked at Meijel Mayhem and the master map yet? More Holland scenarios would be great. Step up to the plate Sir and give it your best shot, I say!

    They would indeed be great but my field of expertice lies to the East (regarding the Dutch SS units in Russia). I don't know much about US actions after Market Garden :(. Or any actions between Market Garden and Overloon (operation Aintree) ;).

    Alas Bram, no CW forces in the initial release. I was looking at an Overloon scenario for the release too. Instead I made Meijel Mayhem. This depicts the fighting around Meijel during a short German Counter offensive in the Peel Marshes. The US 7th ARM division was active on that sector of the front.

    You can still do an Overloon scenario if you restrict it to the US 7th ARM Division, before it was relieved by the Brits.

    Or, you can take the Meijel Master Map included in CMFB and design additional scenarios for the Meijel battle. That would be great :D

    hahaha that would be great indeed :) 

    I live near Overloon so I really wanted to create a scenario for it. Just have to wait for the CW to be introduced then :(

    Any new CMBN module for the future?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    There is another base game covering Oct-thru-May 45 coming. The rationale there is that a lot of both the Allied and Axis TOEs underwent significant changes towards the end of 1944 (with more in 1945) and also a lot of new equipment came into service, particularly for the Allies. By 1945 the fielded forces were strikingly different to what they'd been in June 1944, therefore: new CM base game + modules.

    That sounds promising :)
