    Lots of user made scenarios and a few campaigns for all CM2 titles.  There is a N. Africa mod with a few vehicles and one or two scenarios for N. Africa.

    Battlefront,
      Could you create a poll to see what your customers would like to see next in a Battlefront release?  I've heard you guys mainly concentrate on topics that really appeal to you (which makes a lot of sense).  I would like to see if your customer's interests line up with any of your passions. 
    I, for one, would love to see a game centered on either the Arab-Israeli wars or Afrika Corps.

    Really having fun with CMBS and CMSF2.  I have some really epic 1 minute movie clips! Slow and steady, eyes open, wins the race in both these games.
    I know this won't be controversial at all, but which is the best of the WWII series?
    BTW, I would pay good money for a Field of View button.  I think it is Graviteam Tactics games that has that.  A real life saver.

    If you are playing on the lowest difficulty leverl, wich i belive is BASIC TRAINING, i don't think it will be easier to destroy the enemy but it will help you by limiting the fog of war on the enemy units...giving your units instant information-sharing...give you shorter delaytimes on things like artillery- and airsupport...improve your troops moral and supression recovery i belive...and a few other things...
    It will not make it easier for friendly vehichles to be destroyed...
    I would recomend that you study the manual and 'get out of' basis training as fast as possible...change to atleast VETERAN difficulty..
    Othervise you're missing out on some of the gameplay features that are toned down on basic training...
    Primarely fog of war and informationshantering
    The game get's even better with those things in play 😎...

    Note that CMBS is usually regarded as the hardest and most brutal title to master.   The WW2 titles are somewhat more forgiving as in CMSF.

    Brutally true in BS.  If you're in LOS, you might be dead already and not know it until you click Go.
    Recon, recon, recon. Go slow, give troops and platforms time to spot from the best cover available, etc.

    @Probus I have all the early BF games. I didn't play them for years and came back recently to CMBS and now CMSF2.   I love these games: in a sort of insane masochistic way,  because the modern battlefield is very punishing. You can do everything right...and still be blown to pieces by missiles or tanks. I am glad you are enjoying the game. Do download player-made scenarios and mods - many of them are quite brilliant and surpass the (generally) high standard of the normal scenarios you get when you purchase the game.

    Ok. It didn’t take long playing the demo until I decided it was well worth the price tag. 
     
    What a great game!  I’m really enjoying it. When you play on easy settings, does that make it easier to destroy enemy vehicles and easier for friendly vehicles be destroyed?  It seems pretty hard to show your face and survive.

    This is probably a question you get all the time, but if I bought CMBS can I buy the Marines, NATO, and British units from CMSF2 and use them in CMBS since they use the same engine?  It specifically says the Afgan-Soviet game is incompatible.
    Also, are there any CM games that have the Arab-Israeli Wars and/or OOB?

    As the title says, I just ran across my Combat Mission games again.  I had the original Overlord and Barbarossa disks.  Wow!  Its come a long way!
    I'm downloading the demo now, but it looks like Black Sea is probably the best for the conventional modern battlefield.
    Would that be true?
    Kind of a steep price tag for an older title, but I'm willing to pay it if it is as good as it looks.
