The point was that a poster said its hard talking to people.  I'm just pointing out Steve obviously doesn't think so.  Everyone gets time off, but maybe instead of 10 posts a day in the Ukraine thread, 9 posts a day and one day a month post something on the games he produces.

Just to put a quantitative point on it, Steve has posted around 65 times in the last week in the Ukraine thread.  He's averaging about 10 posts a day in a topic that right now has nothing to do with the game.  And no where else in at least a month, and maybe more.  Its his company and his time to do with what he likes.  But based on some of the counterpoints that communicating with people is exhausting, he either is doing heavy doses of uppers or he is completely exhausted.
BFC has gone through this before.  Back when CMSF 1 came out and was almost a disaster of a CM product for the first few months, Steve was spending all of his posting energy for weeks at a time prolifically debating the concept of the Stryker brigade in one thread.  It finally hit a point where enough established players were vocally walking away that he shifted his comms from his Stryker tirades to addressing game issues.

I look at comms to your base as a significant part of marketing regardless.  I'm not sure anyone expects a multi-domain and multi-media campaign for every release.  But a key component of marketing as a concept is basic communications to customers and some place to point prospective customers to.  There is a very obvious lack of that basic foundation of marketing.  And BFC has stated that Slitherine has no say in what is released on BFC.com or when.
And then there is basic customer service of letting existing customers know what is happening.  Even Graviteam gives basic updates periodically.

Its only exhausting if don't like doing it.  There are people that are happy to communicate with people all day and some of them are good at it.  Steve obviously loves it based on how often he posts in the Ukraine thread.  I would think taking half of his posting in that thread and focusing it on updating customers and prospects would be a good reinvestment.

So did they for the Italian front. So did they for the late Eastern Front.
Anyway, there's nothing critical in having a separate game for CMFB, except for a couple of drawbacks:
I have to install yet another game engine on my already crowded hard drive CMFB would have been a formidable opportunity to upgrade CMBN (tank riders anybody?)

We all know the fundamental weakness of Phil's stuff… While it is graphically on-par (and even better) with BFC official production, it doesn't (and it cannot !) feature the proper TOE and weapons characteristics of the portrayed eras/theaters. And it is by no mean Phil's fault: we cannot mod these critical aspects. I hope we could.

Exactly.  The question was asked when CMFB was first announced.  I imagine this would have made it easier for everyone.  But the bed has been made so BFC has to sleep in it.

You're first two sentences are contradictory.  If you read it carefully, you can sus out what you getting at.  But its not clear.  Especially with your example.
