Perhaps a certain someone could start his own company TRLSoftware.

I recently tried reading Antony Beevor´s "Ardennens 1944" - but got stuck in the snow. I've really enjoyed many of his earlier books on WWII, but this one isn't up to par, in my view.
In my opinion the main problem of the book was the lack of good overview maps. There are a lot of different locations that you as a reader have to keep track of - unless you're very familiar the geography of the Ardennes. There are perhaps 15 maps in the book, but I spent a lot of time paging from one map to the other - trying to locate Trois Ponts, Houffalize or whatever.
In the end, I got so confused and frustrated I gave it up.
I got this book for Christmas and am getting through it fairly quickly. That might not be an indication of it's quality, it could just be an indication of the amount of alcohol in my system over the festive period. Once I finish it I'll certainly be dusting off Charles MacDonald's "Definitive Account", which I haven't read in well over 20 years.

@ Sequoia ... Yes, they would have had WL plates. (As kohlenklau has helpfully illustrated above)
And I think that you are correct about having to mod every vehicle. It would mean a hell of a lot of work.
-
No one's made a mod for that yet? If not I could volunteer. Of course it wouldn't distinguish between Wehrmacht and SS vehicles in the same scenario but I bet there are hardly any such scenarios anyway.
As far as I know, no one has yet. Obviously I could have overlooked it in the Repository and during my visits to greenasjade, but I don't think so.
-
Hahaha... You put it so well Bud,
-
it would be nice if at sometime in the future, (and I mean the future, not tomorrow) if we could have "SS" number plates for SS vehicles, although I suspect that is far less straight forward than it sounds. In the meantime i look forward to having more of my troops slaughtered in their new uniforms.

Thanks for all the info.... Front page of the manual looks Pretty Damn Funky to me.
I know that my alto ego wouldn't approve, but I hope everyone at BFC and all fellow players have a great Christmas.

That is really interesting to know. It would seem that in all the battles and campaigns that I've played I've only ever had "Regular" Engineers.
-
I wouldn't have fancied taking that photo if Jerry has been around.
-
Good suggestions c3k... But, I have to say "Nah" twice.. They won't want to create another title with the initials CMFB for fear of confusing us lot.
-
There is also an alternative method if you are playing WEGO. If you give your Engineers a 45 second pause, they will blast through right at the end of that minute. Then during the next Command phase you can just cancel their movement so that they don't run through the gap. But, be careful if you try the same method with Paratroopers. They take longer to set their charges, so give them a 30 second pause.

I'd like to thank the BFC Bashers for changing my mind about this game. This time last week I wasn't planning on buying it. But, I am now.
-
Could you imagine having to create a skin for the Volkssturm? Wrinkles, little wire rimmed glasses, grey hair and taches etc
-
I think Steve has very politely explained BFC's position regarding CMFB. We the customer are now left to decide whether we want to buy it or not.
I would just like to offer him one piece of advice, forget World Peace it ain't gonna sell, mate.

Having been accused of being abusive, both by someone in a previous post, and by someone else in private. All I say is, you should have seen the way me and the boys dealt with Charles Stuart back in 1649. Now, that was abuse!

Well said sburke, I couldn't have put it better myself.
-
To be honest it is only the fact that young people might be reading this that I don't tell certain people where they can go. For the umpteenth time if you don't like how BFC do things then don't visit it's forums.
-
I can't help thinking that if a person has time to moan about a game that hasn't actually been released, then they have far too much spare time on their hands.
-
"Many things can be spotted ... " Not by my bloody troops they can't.
-
Just think before you post in future.
-
Well BFC couldn't have called it Battle of the Bulge even if they'd wanted to. They'd have two CMBB's and we'd all get confused. So Final Blitzkrieg is alright with me.
-
I have to concur with Pete Wenmam on his first choice. Indeed it is a mighty tome, and maybe beyond the budget of some. But worth every penny/cent .. delete as applicable.
-
Yes, that bridge looks all too familiar. "Hard Knocks" lives up to it's name.

Personally I'm looking forward to the "Antipodean" analysis of this game on youtube. Not that I'm telling anyone what kind of videos to make you understand.
