Have to say out of the CMx1 titles CMBB was my favourite so hopefully there will be more for Red Thunder.One thing Red Thunder did do was make me read up on Operation Bagration a bit more.This campaign was the one that broke the Germans back in the East,once and for all.So maybe not as well known but this one was the one that sealed the deal.So i can see that's why BF went with it.The opening of Barbarossa on the other hand was rather one sided and from a game play point of view might have not been so endearing to allied players.BF would have probably needed a whole new set of models also,thus having to spend more time on it.
 
Personally,i'm happy with Red Thunder more modules will be icing on the cake.Like the battles in Russia itself,CMBB scenarios were endless within the modding community.Hopefully this series will get the same love.CM Afghanistan could have been a great title,shame it was a tad broken and didn't receive the looking after it needed.Mind you Black Sea has eclipsed that now anyway.
 
If you're a WW2 Geek and addicted to CM,the period shouldn't really matter.As for getting more sales,a majority of the gaming community are into the eye candy games with their pretty graphics so CM wouldn't cut it with them,whatever the period.CM has never been graphically perfect but then again it doesn't have to be,it's the game play that counts,and on that CM is the best in the genre.Enough said.
