Someone else mentioned this, so I'll note it as a bug for now

In my idillyc world, yet still grounded on reality (or so I hope ), the sequence of module release should be something like this:
1st. CMCW Mad Wargames: An extension of the base game to add the year 1983 (together with winter textures) and the Archer Able exercises, together with the inclusion of both West and East German Armies. (The soviets during that year were convinced that the Americans were about to invade them, campaigns with the americans in the offensive would be an interisting change from the usually depicted soviet invasion)
2nd. CMCW Race to the Wesser: A module depicting the push to the Wesser by the soviets. The british, belgians and dutch are included, together with the Poles.
3rd CMCW "Le Garde Sur Le Rhin" : The french are added, with campaigns depicting the defense of the Rhine by french forces in case of a effective Soviet bretrought. The rest of Warsaw Pact, together with Canada; are also added.
And with that, you have a hot war in 80s Germany mostly covered. From there, you can go wherever you want. Extend the year coverage to the early 70s or late 80s, add the southern and asian fronts, do some Alt-history scenarios, etc.

Hurray! We have two of those in the game! Now I am curious if they were made last minute, to please this thread, or if they were in the game already.
Also checked if the door does have a reasonable size, because it lookes quite large, but I checked it out by placing a soldier next to it, and the size is quite right.
Unfortunately, the phone booth and letter box didn´t made it into the game, as well as vehicles like the wagon or the golf. But there was this tutorial, to add objects.
The two airconditioners on the other hand are quite useless. Airconditioning is quite unusual in Germany, and at that time in the late 70s and early 80s not used at all. Not even by shops or public buildings. And if it is used, it would be better hidden.

And they are in both of my scenarios ...
Thank @Pete Wenmanfor these, I just wanted them - he did the hard work in creating them.

So, BFC, what are you releasing next Friday?  I just want to clear my schedule...

I want to say something most users probably will not notice, but it is an amazing Detail, the voices for the German forces are quite good and believable.
There are a lot of movies or sometimes games with terrible not native voiceactors, but the Soldiers in Combat Mission are sounding very natural.
Good job @Battlefront.com 👍

We are lacking the key exclamations, though:
"Achtung, ein engländer!"
"Teuffel! Ich bin getroffen!"

Maybe it would be more intuitive it if it radiated from the point it was being measured.
Another reason it is not intuitive is that I often use it to check LOS from a position that unit will never be going to.

That would be very nice.

Since the F&R release date pool was so popular and the CW release is imminent, I thought I'd start another one. Winner gets upvoted to infinity and beyond. 
I'm going with April 30th since I think BF can still make April. That's only 3 days but I have faith! What does our resident skeptic think @Aragorn2002???

Music to our ears Elvis

Some great shots taken by @George MC featuring the T-80:




And a bonus shot of an M577 in the Fall:

Early 80s Cold war atmosphere...
It would have to be something like this
or in an even more bleak tone this
or a bit more chilled out, this
or for a more obscure left field flavour this
Bliss, utter bliss

Shopping malls are quite rare in Germany, most of them opened in the 90s and early 2000s.
What is very common is shopping streets, or some bigger shopping buildings, but malls are very american.
But I still would like to see taller buildings with flat roofs. Office buildings, rental apartments, schools.. stuff like that.

This seems to be the go to for screenshot teasers. Here are a few more:

GP-25 in action:

This is my computer. There are many like it but this one is mine. My computer is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my computer is useless. Without my computer I am useless.
:)

I fully agree. I have had to ask for old activation keys. I experienced exactly what you did! :-)
Rapid service on a weekend, always friendly and very comprehensive.
Thank you @BFCElvis

I had an issue with CMFI where I was getting a message that I was missing 3 breeze files. I messed about to see if I could sort it out with no luck.
So I filled out a Help Desk form outlining the problem, and since it was Sunday I didn't expected an answer until later in the week.
1 hour and 15 minutes afterwards I had a reply from John Costello........on a Sunday. He had taken the trouble to provide a download for me of the 3 files I needed.
What great service!! Unbelievable. 

I think that might be a typo on the website. In game, it is labeled as the M224. Here is a screenshot of it. Bear in mind, the UI is still work in progress:

Also, the games timeframe is 1979-1982 🙂

More than just the UI. I just now uploaded proper textures for M224, too! 
Just recently *someone in charge* was cursing out the confusing mortar naming conventions around this time.
 

Or maybe the 32nd. BF likes this kind of jokes. 😄

There are a few different shades of Soviet green that appears in the game. Not my call on that decision. I think the T-64As and BMP-1s in the screenshots I posted look the best.
