Well that accelerated. Let's talk about the game instead.
There are some defensive missions on the German Campaign "A Moment in Time" in CMBN that I enjoyed. There's one where you defend a bridge with inferior Kriegsmarine troops against paratroopers. It's at night, so they just rush the bridge with SMG's. I also recall some huge scenarios of CMFI where you defend from a massive German counter-attack at Anzio. Can't recall which one specifically but taking out their tigers was pretty challenging with only m4 Shermans. I think a German defensive campaign could be done right with a couple of small counterattacks added.
-
I think the advanced training campaign Invasion of Gela is good campaign to start with if you wanna play as the Americans.
-
I like the terrain in CMFI the best. I find the mountain combat to be particularly interesting with it's simultaneous long range duels and close quarters fighting over the peaks. It also starts in July 43 so there's so mid war stuff available. CMFB is a must if you're a Battle of the Bulge Fanatic. Honestly get both eventually!

I added a modtag to it so now you can just leave the mod in your mod folder and not have to worry about having to swap it in and out. This is probably going to be my last update for it unless I made a mistake somewhere.

Do these tags work for taliban too?

Fingers crossed for Scheldt!
Yeah it would be interesting how Battlefront would implement all the amphibious landings.

It's been confirmed that Battlefront will create a module that covers the final months of the war on the western front. I think a Remagen bridge campaign is already pretty likely. That or the Americans at the Ruhr Pocket. My number one hope would be adding the Free French Forces with more assets at their disposal. I'd love to see a French campaign for the Colmar Pocket. Brits/Canadians in Northern Germany would also be cool. I'm not sure what a German Campaign would be... perhaps a desperate defense with ad hoc formations? [Paderborn comes to mind.]
It would even be wild to see the 101st capture Hitler's Eagle's nest but I'm not sure how much actual combat took place there.

Ah...there I can help
.
I remember, that in the creation process respectivly at the end someone said (maybe @ChrisND?), that the cavalry should be implemtend with a different texture.
The change didn't managed to get in. It was hoped that it get in maybe later but I think it is forgotten...
Greetings, alex
Hopefully they're implemented in Fire and Rubble!

This is kind of the same deal as the Soviet Calvary Squadron uniforms in Red Thunder. There are textures marked "[cavalry]" but you can't set their appearance as such. Suppose it's for a scenario but it seems odd to do that work for nothing!

Thanks to StieliAlpha I got what I needed!

He used to send them to you via PM. I pmed him last year and no response. Anybody got his uniform mods? Preferably the one's not on FGM. Thank you!

Your wish is granted danfrodo.
Filming is to begin next spring, if the virus rules don't prevent it I suppose.
Cary Fukunaga directed some of the episodes of True Detective Season 1 so I'm hyped!

Not feeling the art style. At least the really bright hues. Story could be interesting though!

Wait so you're telling me my platoon of Elefant's shouldn't cross that wooden bridge?

Hello! I've never played multiplayer but have extensive experience in Scenario, Campaign and QB. I have all titles besides Black Sea but I'm thinking I'd like to start with WW2. I work from home so I have a decent amount of time to play. I don't have a Nation preference. Thinking of perhaps a small sized battle for my first one. Send me a PM! Thank you!

That horizon looks amazing!

I have great QBs against the AI.
1) First, I use my own maps, which are larger than the typical QB map, with more AI groups (very broad and simple, but multiple groups just seems to make a difference) and lots of long-range fire opportunities.
2) I choose both sides myself, based on 'suggestions', but tweaked a little, usually infantry only or combined arms, but I give the AI tough forces. I don't scrutinise the suggested forces too much, just make sure they're reasonably tough (adding AT guns, MGs & light flak usually, and deleting any turkeys) - if you have more than one QB running at the same time, you quickly forget precisely how many of what unit or vehicle the AI has.
3) I also choose high morale and experience for the AI.
I have lots of fun - it's not too easy and it's not dull.
NB - oh, and I don't use TRPs or pre-planned artillery...
Your own QB maps you say..? May you bestow these upoun us unworthy folk?

I've heard this a couple of times and one of my history professor's in college pointed it out. That many of the "quality" recruits in 44 went to the logistical services and not the frontline troops. The US Army was also noted to have superb Officer Corps. I read somewhere that this changed in 45 and the standard US infantry improved greatly but this was after most of the large battles in the West. My grandfather was a rifleman in the 4th when they fought at the Siegfried line and he never really mentioned anything about quality. Albeit he didn't see the war from a macro scale. There were good units and bad. The Paratroopers, the 1st Division, 29th Division were pretty experienced and professional. And the German Army Divisions at this time? It varied greatly. I'm sure some of German Generals were saying the same thing about their drafted Luftwaffe mechanics and Georgian "volunteers."
I think one thing that gives this idea that the "US infantry sucked" is their tactics. They had all the ammunition they could ask for so they often pummeled the enemy into oblivion then moved infantry forward to mop up. But there's also many occasions where the infantry alone won against superior German forces.

You've played BN's 'Cats chasing dogs' right? Having tried as the Pumas (as you say, a good-looking vehicle) a couple of times, I then played as US and had much better results with the M8 armoured car and its 37mm (including canister rounds).
So far I have no modern titles and I'm into armour more than infantry, so my answers are:
1. Love playing most things with a cat in their name, plus some late war Soviet 'heavies' like IS2s. Should say I haven't played with Fireflies, Pershings etc. as much as I should.
2. May or may not fear them them depending on what I've got on my side, but if I have to choose it would be playing against the same things as above.
I have not. Perhaps I'll try it after I'm done with my 10th Mountain Campaign in Rome to Victory. Canister rounds are always fun. Is the Pershing in Final Blitzkrieg? I don't think the tank arrived till March 45 or something. Or maybe it's in a CMx1 game?

Nothing I like more than using the quad 50's on the halftracks in Final Blitzkrieg. Placing them in ambush behind a house or barn for some shoot and scoot. It's nice to take down whole squad's in one turn. I know they aren't the most all around effective weapon but using them efficiently is really satisfying. Alternatively I friggin hate facing Stummel halftracks. They're extremely effective in urban battles. I've lost whole squads to only a couple of rounds. What's some of your favorites and why? Modern titles and infantry units included too!
3rd, an honorable mention is the Puma Armored Car. I'm terrible at using armored cars but that's gotta be one of the coolest vehicles of WW2.

Can we get any information about the playable campaigns for the module? Or any prominent scenarios?

The Mix setting is unavailable for Indian troops - I haven't looked at Brazilians yet. So you can't have vehicles with Indians - they're still a fun nationality to play though. The Sikhs look excellent and the Indian formations, like all Commonwealth-based forces, have their own idiosyncrasies.
Oddly, when you select Infantry Only with French forces, you have access to all their AFVs, even M10s.
Minor inconsistencies though - I've been binge-playing CMRV since it came out and I'm still loving it.
Agreed I love the module. I'm just curious if this was simply overlooked or intentional? I want to use all their units!

Is this only an Axis vs AI scenario?

Did you try Brazil and Indian Mix Formations in QB's to see what Mech/Motor/Armor are available...I think Infantry Only Formations generally give you Infantry and Heavy Weapons, etc, but no Transport or Armor.
You can't use "mix" formations with these nations. That's my issue! You can only use Infantry options. It doesn't give you the full roster in QB!
