Thanks for posting the manual Chris. I noticed after a quick glance at the first few pages that it says the game will be expanded with modules and packs up to the Battle of Berlin. Does this mean the Eastern Front will be covered with modules instead of new games?

I sure hope so. I've been reduced to playing Carniball on CNN games waiting for Red Thunder...please BFC rescue me.

That was for the pre-order announcement. It happened on a Thursday. Which means.......in 2 days it will be 8 looooooooong weeks of waiting.

I just hope they release it before April 1 so we don't have numerous "I am downloading now!" April Fool's threads to read.

Yes the people who pre-order get an e-mail when the game is released so they can download it first before the official announcement. Someone, of course, will announce it on the forum and then the wait begins for those who did not pre-order. From what i have seen, it's usually only a few hours to maybe a half a day before the official BFC announcement.

Wow, i am getting old. I actually got that one.

Great news Juju! Looking forward to your UI mod.

Inside information? I hope you are right.

Antmf why don't you download one of the demos for either CMBN or CMFI and give it a try. I believe the CMFI demo is the latest version of the game engine but either one will give you an introduction to the game.

Kind of strange that they have taken the pre-order announcement down....don't know whether that means a release is soon or there is a delay?

Bah, made me look. Well it is almost 6 weeks since the announcement and I have 3 days off.

Why don't you download the demo for either CMBN or CMFI while you are waiting for Red Thunder. It's a good introduction to the games.

My apologies if this has been posted before..but I just saw this article online about the history of Battlefront. Even has pictures of Steve and Charles. http://www.polygon.com/features/2013/1/29/3916154/turn-by-turn-battlefront-combat-mission

Great vids! Just got home from work and watched them. Excellent job on the maps too. Looking forward to next week's broadcast.

Great idea to show off Combat Mission on Twitch.tv. I go there sometimes to watch people play strategy games. Looking forward to it ChrisND. Hope we get to see a preview of Red Thunder.

I know the old CM1 games had a dedicated site for scenario designers...I think it was called the "Scenario Depot"... where scenario designers could test and get feedback. Maybe something like that would encourage people to design more scenarios for CM2?

"When Titans Clashed" by Glantz.

Yes I usually wait for a "very very soon" before I get too excited.

To be fair, Norton is not the only AV that flags this. Check the support forum and you will see other AV's have also had problems with false positives in CM. It really isn't that hard to fix...just takes a couple of minutes to remove from quarantine and exclude from future scans.

I find patience gets harder and harder as i get older and older.

I know Steve said they were very close to releasing before the end of 2013, so i'm hoping it won't be long before preorders are announced. Oh and an early Happy Birthday Mord

Need some more meat on these bones

Thanks for sharing this. I had never seen this series before. Very interesting.

Yes that would look cool but I imagine an entire map covered in drifting smoke or fog would be a big processor hit...might be one of the reasons spreading fire is not in the game yet.

I'm hoping they can get that blocky terrain fixed that you get with the fog setting. I know Phil said in another thread that it was a difficult problem to get fixed.
