Hi
Solution is to login into your account, download the CMRT patch V2.12 from main menu of Battlefront web site, install it, re-activate the licenses Base Game + FR + BP1 . It takes one hour...https://www.battlefront.com/patches
have a look to this post too:
"There is no download for this Battle pack..."

I was able to find it from
Battlefront.com -> Patches -> CMRT 2.0 through 2.12
Are you able to find the patch following that path? I did and it's the same exact link.
Yes, I finally find it in the Patches menu from Battlefront web site. There is no download for the BP1, but as patch V2.12 is mandatory...
And then you have to reactivate all licenses (Base game+ Fire&Rubble extension + BattlePack1) . Lasting...
Thanks for your help. -
solution !
I had to download an "hidden" update V2.12 for CM red Thunder , install this update, and then reactivate all the keys CMRT, F&R, BP1. Took 2 hours...
Link to the "hidden" Update : https://battlefront.sharefile.com/share/view/s216b2ad387c543e7811ee38b4df26ef2/fo1537bb-8878-4e38-83e1-a2f372b86b08Thank you too to Paul Klimstra, member of Facebook "combat Mission Fan club" , which had the same trouble before and helped me.

Well.. I tried all my licenses keys CMRT Base game (V2.11 , Engine4), F&R, BP, but still have V2.11.
I cannot find an 2.12 upgrade in email exchange or in my account/orders. Does someone knows were to upload this 2.12 update ? I can't find it on BF website. Is that included in any package below in attachment ?
Or is that blocked because of the Nigel Pye Mod I use ? (This Mod from Nigel is really great !)thx

HI Jo. Thanks but still not ok. still 2.11, What Key should I give in ?
I'll try to download an updtae 2.12 from my account.

Hi
I have CMRT + F&R, V2.11 , game engine 4. I recently purchased BP1 for CMRT, activated sucessfully the license, but I cannot see any new scenario or new campaign after having restarted the game !...
On the BF website, I see that V2.12 is required. OK, but how to upgrade my CMRT game from 2.11 to 2.12 ? I don't find any link or site for that. Is that really required ?
For license activation, what key is required ? the BP1 key ? the base game key ? the F&R ? all of them ? Any idea ?
Thanks !

Devil's Descent -- Pitch perfect company sized para campaign.
Kampfgruppe Engel (CMBN) -- Not a beginner level campaign, but one of the most innovative in Combat Mission. Features ammo and repair state carry-over and core force.
The Outllaws (CMBN) -- Ramping para campaign, where you start small as the troopers march to the sound of the guns, culminating in much larger battles as your paras link up with 4th Division straightlegs coming off the beach. Interesting briefing style that provides virtually no useful tactical information. but it does provide a narrative, and the player fills in the blanks.
Road to Montebourg (CMBN) -- One of the most ambitious Combat Mission campaigns, and one of the biggest (16 missions?). Excellent mission variety, with the opening mission a showcase for suppression in Combat Mission.
Blunting the Spear (CMRT) -- Battalion + sized campaign. I tend to steer clear of the larger campaigns, but this one is too good to ignore. A near perfect blend of long range gunnery duels and close-in fighting.
Just a few suggestions
Kampfgruppe Engel is really exciting ! Nice and innovative scenarios, and nice stuff... miaow...

Which SU122 was that ? Short barelled or long barelled, with similar gun as JS2 ? Even in later case, front hull or turret armor of Tiger II may withstand to 122mm shell, but will high probably take some damages. Short barelled 122 gun is far less effective. KT is not invincible, just use massive attack as usual on eastern front (in below gamme, 4 dammaged KT were facing 8x T34.85 + 8x JS2.. on open ground...

Happy New Year!
First, let’s get the obvious out of the way. Despite last year being Battlefront’s 20th anniversary of its first Combat Mission release, we’re happy to say goodbye and good riddance to 2020! The past year of pandemic, political strife, economic disruption, toilette paper shortages, record setting fires, 2 albums from Taylor Swift, and other near misses with the apocalypse are now behind us. We look forward to a better and brighter 2021 to start off our 3rd decade of Combat Mission fun.
Despite all the bad stuff that happened in 2020, for us at Battlefront it was a very productive year. True, we didn’t have much in the way of new releases and that’s no doubt a disappointment to you all. Fortunately you won’t have to wait much longer for something new.
The first thing you’ll see in 2021 is an end to the long wait for Red Thunder’s first additional content; Fire & Rubble. See below for some screenshots. This new Module is huge and soon we’ll have the webpages up to detail specifically what’s in it. Preorders will kick in at the same time. We’re nearly there!
The next release is Slitherine's re-release of Black Sea. You’ll see signs of the Black Sea release on Matrix Games’ website very soon. Other Combat Mission games are scheduled to be re-released steadily at the rate of one Family a quarter, with Battle for Normandy being next up. As with Shock Force 2, all Battlefront customers get automatic and free access to the Slitherine Steam versions.
No doubt it’s been noted that we did not announce or release an Engine Upgrade for 2020. As things look right now, we are headed for Engine 5 Upgrade later this year. I can’t promise that any of the features being added to the military version will get into your hands, however I expect a couple will. Definitely not the one that requires a dedicated high end system with 12GB of free RAM and hours of thumb twiddling time while numbers are crunched. Oddly enough, we don’t see it being a commercially viable feature.
Speaking of the military contract work, there's more than anticipated. I can’t say much about it other than it’s going very well and we are structuring our development time to make sure our focus remains on the commercial work that you all get to enjoy. It’s a balancing act for sure. That said, let me reassure you that we view you guys as our core business and that means if push comes to shove the military folks will have to take a number and wait patiently for our attention.
Let’s see… is there anything else on the horizon that I can tell you about? Nope, not at the moment. The year is still young.
And with that, a huge thanks to all of you who have supported us over these many years. Without you we’d not be here welcoming everybody to another year of Combat Mission.
THANK YOU!
Steve
And without further ado… F&R Bones!
Thank you for these info Steeve ! You can't imagine how impatient we are ! Best wishes from France.
PS: what about a new CM game " Blitzkrieg! May '40" ?

Hi
Can you imagine France '40 ? With scenarii like german attacking Maginot bunkers or tank battles like around the city of Lille ? Or BEF trying to exit in Dunkirk ? How great !

Nice preview ! Thanks for getting CM games alive through the years ! My wishes :
1) don'n use to much acronysmes: what means "CMCW-BAOR" or "CMFB" ? I know it, but think to beginners...
2) a REAL dream: release "CMBK" = Combat Mission BlitzKrieg. 1939-40 Poland, Belgium, France campaigns ! wow, what a dream, what a potential for battlepack, new tactics, upgrades, ... Good stuff means good money, I'm pretty sure you'll get a lot of customers for that !
