You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,Know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table, There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. The point is that if you can't wait til 2022 or later, then take things into your own hands and create a Kharkov '43 mod now. Me and a few buddies made a CMFI GL Bulge 44 mod a year or more back and I am glad I did. Perfect? No. But it is still being used now and ain't too shabby. And we still don't have the actual Bulge game yet.

CMRT date range ends at 30 Sep but in my CMPzC Nyakleves Operation we fudge that to pretend it is mid-October to portray the Panzer Battles on the Hungarian plains. 23rd Panzer Division and sPzAbt 503 against the 23rd Army Soviet hordes...

Thanks!

A very bold move by Houston in the Firefly and Nolan in the 75mm Sherman...!

My opinion: early '43 will be in Ost Front family #3 probably module 1 or 2. Think of 2022 or 2023 or 2024. Like a couple US presidential terms from now +/-. On a more positive note, somebody in that other thread did also express a desire to see Kharkov early '43 and I said my heart felt opinion. Basically, simulate now with what we have and press forward to enjoy it if you can do any modding or whatnot.

Exit Detmers back to the dealership right away so that repair is still under warranty!

From a previous post of mine from March 2015 on this development schedule topic.

There is a thread(s) around here somewhere that explains the BFC approach. Cliff Notes version... For Ost Front: Each roughly summer to the next spring timeframe is a family with its own modules. Once complete they go back a year and do a new entirely separate family. So, now summer 44 so next will be CMRT "part 2" which will recoup any new winter goodies from the Bulge project and get us through the 44/45 winter and maybe out to Spring '45 and Berlin? But possibly there will be a CMRT Part 3 to get us all the way to the end of the war on the Ost front. I don't know. THEN in the future they hatch Ost Front Family #2 and it starts in summer '43 with Zitadelle, another module to link it through winter 43/44 and on to pre-Bagration. Get it? Sort of like this movie! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Curious_Case_of_Benjamin_Button_(film) Welcome to the fun!

mjkerner would most likely await a post VE-Day US-UK-Germany against Stalin's Soviet hordes type of CMPzC operation!

Isn't this ironic? Here in this CMPzC Ortona Operation we have an actual Irishman with Kuderian commanding Canadian CM pixel troops. Then over in the CMPzC Eindoven Operation we have an actual Canadian with Chappy commanding Irish Guards CM pixel troops. But of course we have also had real Canadians commanding Canadian pixel troops and the real Irishman commanding the Irish Guards pixel troops. Ol' mjkerner fighting as the axis in both operations is thoroughly confused!

Schwimmwagens! BFC will have the art done for that stupid 155mm SP gun which I will never purchase or use in a game but NOT do the love of my ever lovin' life...the floating freaking convertible!

Dang...next we'll hear that Audie Murphy really spent the war in Fort Dix handing out basketballs at the gym...

Send them back to the English Channel! The Flak Vehicle with the damaged gun should be exited off. Per my die roll it will be repaired and back in action in 2 turns. So now is 3B. She will be ready in 4B. Try and buddy aid all that you can and maybe some of those young jagers will be able to at least hold a weapon in a window or doorway later on.

The time of year is approaching where I get in an Ardennes state of mind....sort of like that Billy Joel song.

Alright! Nathan isn't really dead in that "Tommy Cooker"!

The Battle is READY! I will let you guys take a look and see if you have any issues. LET ME KNOW IN A FEW DAYS. Link https://www.dropbox.com/s/riv78r75ssmemoi/Check Me Out.ema?dl=0 Do NOT do a set up yet. Just look it over. Conditions: Overcast, cold, muddy and light wind from the west. Local time is 1200. Password is as before. PM me if you have forgotten it. At 1205-1210 the heavy mortars should be set-up. D Coy is on the line with an FO in craters and some foxholes. B Coy folded into D Coy and became her 3rd platoon after the D Coy survivors consolidated down to 2 Platoons. 2 Shermans and 6 ATG's are in support. The remnants of 11 Troop/4PLDG are screening forward. Kittyhawks are enroute. Arriving 1215-ish. 1315-ish and 1330-ish. At 1300 you get the kitchen sink when C Coy arrives with a cast of thousands! A/3RR, more of 4PLDG and more arty/FO. Sent you the engineers as well! <Several handy exit zones to send stuff away as you desire...> C Coy will have carriers but maybe not all troops will have a seat! Sort it out at 1300.... Sorry. Around 1315 B Coy of the Hasty P's arrives from the road "to San Donato" along with 2 troops of B/3RR, more of 4PLDG and more arty/FO.

Maybe he wears Fanta Bottle glasses?

Where is the bloody R-A-F when you need them???

Looks cool to me! Popcorn and some cold drinks. I liked when the one Soviet soldier grabs the MP40...always wish we had that in CM. "scavenging"... Heard all the arguments and reasons against it but still want it. Also want the Molitov cocktails! Thanks for posting that Mark.

The latest Op Map. It is 1200 local. A Coy of the Hasty P's has taken San Donato. The RCR Battle Group has taken San Leonardo. An axis counterattack is expected from the forces in the red box. Then at 1300 a renewed push forward will commence as per Chappy's field orders.
