Old CMBO player since Beta demo. Moved to CMx2 with CMSF. The big change for me was the 1:1 ratio. It meant I had to go back and relearn CM which isn't a bad thing. But the level of detail I now had with my units (infantry especially) I quickly learnt that WEGO had become more of a liability. Though it's still fun to sit back and watch a minutes worth of action, I really don't want to waste valuable scenario time by having squads mount up in a half-track sit tere for 50 seconds when they could be acquiring a panzerfaust or more ammo. Things can change more quickly in this new engine compared to CMx1 days that not being able to quickly hit escape and make adjustments to your plans puts you at a serious disadvantage. When CMBN came out I didn't think twice in going for real time play option. Still tried WEGO a few times to see how it was different but just got annoyed and kept reverting back to real time.

Hehehe. Maybe a thread up at the top of the forum detailing what map builders are working on is in order. LemaelG - Ever need a play tester for a scenario on this map, PM me.

Damn it! You beat me to it. Silly me and going back to CMSF. My map is about half way done and was rotated like yours as well. I was going back to the train line towards St Mere Eglise and to the village (forgot the name at the moment) on the german side of the bridge. Looking forward to having a battle or two on the map.

I'm not a big poster to the forums but I do lurk. The Kotaku Australia website has a pretty good community of readers and contributors. We're encouraged to submit reader reviews of games we're playing to the editor. Well the one I wrote about CMBN just got published today. Just wanted to do my community bit of getting the word out on how awesome the game is. If it means a few more people interested in CM the better. Not trying to annoy anyone at Battlefront, love the game! Sorry if I stepped on some toes. http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/06/reader-review-combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/ Keep in mind, the audience is mostly the more mainstream crowd. I also had a word limit which I think I broke.

*big hand up* I remember CMBO, almost flunked first year Uni because of it. I had organised my CM and studying schedule by the time CMBB came out. I also bought all the CMSF modules but have only lurked on the forums since CMAK. (Life) Also new forum account a couple of new email addresses later, yeah I'm never finding those old details.

Thanks for the update! Serious looking forward to this after the Video AARs.

Modules have been great but it would of been good to expand the theater of engagement a bit. Have other nations join the Red Force especially. Blues get all the new toys. New terrain features would of been great but I'm guessing that's a coding nightmare.

Another West Aussie here. Been playing Combat Mission games since Beyond Overlord. Up for a H2H game and have all modules. PM me if you're interested. Probably PBEM is the preference due to work and life commitments. Oh and old forum account, old email lost password etc. Had to start new.
