    I think Red Thunder is the best WW2 module.
    Both factions play wildly different.
    Artillery: Soviets have long call in times and few observers so they focus on pre planned bombardments. This necessitates carefully orchestrated maneuvers. Germans have radios everywhere and focus on observed fires.
    Tanks: Soviets have good firepower and armor but bad optics. Focus on massed maneuver to get in close. Germans focus on good optics to snipe tanks from a distance.
    Infantry: Soviets have either expendable rifle infantry or smaller groups of smg teams that are peerless in close quarters. Germans are focused around the MG42 so they excel in longer ranged engagements.
    I think this makes for more fun than US vs German who both play pretty similar.

    It would be nice to see some sort of coherency between infantry and armor when it came to advancing together. I've seen plenty of videos of infantry using a tank to cover them from small arms.

    Circling back to the Lorraine battles, I finally looked into the Scenario Editor for CMFB and the chronology starts in October 1944, so I will be doing these for CMBN for September 1944. I haven't done a CM scenario since the old CM1 days with Steve Overton and his "Historical Scenario Group". Bitmap overlays for the map editor and elevation auto-interpolation! That will save some time indeed.

    Nothing of this should come as a surprise to anyone here. We German forumites told you so more or less every time when everyone demanded that Germany should deliver Leopards from Bundeswehr stocks to Germany. 🤷‍♂️

    Ty both,
    FI, the worst cm? It's a matter of taste, I like FI with its little special effect of cloudy shadows scrolling over the vineyard slopes. The designer team had to paint a singing and sunny landscape a bit like for Normandy (in BN I use mods for buildings farms etc. and to make it less green) but opposite Russia and the German border in FB. For me the bet is successful. This is the game where I've encountered the most minor bugs, but it's also a game with the most variety of units (indians👍 Italian👌 and french💕).

    I would buy early War, I would buy mid-War, I would buy WWI back to the last Ice Age - I will buy anything you release, because I love the way the game works.
    I sometimes wonder if the frequent critics, who focus on what isn't there, have ever played the game, and noticed how much it does include - I've been so engaged with the units and maps added in the recent updates to CMFI and CMRT that I've barely looked at CMCW, despite it being such an interesting period.

    The Combat Mission doesn't have small maps for quick play and I decided to make one of those.
    Situation
    6th September 2022
    Time 06.15 hrs
    Mission time 25 minutes.
    Weather Light Fog
    Wind Gentle, From West
    Ground Condition Dry
    The Ukrainian army has started the full-scale сonteroffensive in the Kharkiv region.
    Mission
    1st platoon of 80th Air Assault brigade attacking enemy positions near Volokhiv Yar
    Friendly Forces
    Plt HQ
    3x assault squads on BTR-70
    attached
    2x 82mm mortars.
    Enemy Forces
    A Brigade UAV overflight identified at least 4 enemy vehicles, more likely its MT-LBs, and probably one infantry platoon.
    Plan
    Destroy the enemy forces and move further through the enemy lines. Don't lose the BTR's-70. The Russian minefield is wholly destroyed, but you have to be careful some mines can still be placed.
    Notes
    The scenario is theoretical recreation of the Ukrainian 80th Air Assault Brigade assaulting enemy positions in the Kharkiv Conteroffensive and it is not 100% historically accurate.

    The Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade in unity with National Guard are liquidating the enemy helicopter landing party in North Mykolaiv 464×416 (PBEM or Blue vs AI only)
    Situation
    27th February 2022
    Time 17.15 hrs
    Mission time 55 minutes.
    Weather Light Fog
    Wind Medium, From South
    Ground Condition Dry
    The Russian army approached Mykolaiv with the main forces. To disrupt Ukrainian defense, the Russian command decided to make limited helicopter landings with special forces around the city.
    Mission
    Ukrainian mixed company needs to liquidate Russian special forces and liberate the Ukrainian Shipbuilding University 
    Friendly Forces
    Battalion HQ Team
    1x 82mm mortar team
    1x Sniper team
    1x Special Forces Platoon
    1x Company Command Squad on BTR-70s
    1x Air Assault platoon on BTR-70s
    1x National guard platoon on Ural's
    1x National guard breach platoon on Ural's.
    Enemy Forces
    Unknown, the only we know that 5 Russian Mi-8 are landed near an old Fire Station.

    Plan
    Try to spot the enemy, you can try to capture the building yard and use it for a better view. You need to be careful, Russian special forces are well-trained and well-equipped. But
    don't lose de time, because Russian forces will approach Mykolaiv this night, and you need to liquidate the enemy fast as you can.
    Notes
    The scenario is a recreation of how the Ukrainian units from the 79th Air Assault Brigade and National Guard destroyed enemy special forces north of Mykolaiv. The scenario 
    is not 100% historically accurate, but I tried my best to speak with some people who fought in this battle, more I study it from internet resources.

    That's an interesting concept. If an infantry squad spots a target then the FO can call in a mission within a certain area as long as that squad is in radio range. They would have to fix their communication system though.

    2.better description of vehicle or plane loadout in unit purchase screen  ,instead of just su25 heavy close air support it would read su25 2 /500kg bomb 60 he rocket   etc.
    3.weather effect like blowing wind and rain.

    Anonymous_Jonze reacted to Mr.X in WIP: Campaign Pack "Against all Odds"   
    Here is an update for this whole topic:
    Intial - as the title says - I had once planned to create 3 Campaigns showing the desperate fighting of the last year at the WW II Eastfront. 
     
    Actually, RL, family and kids were the reason for a long period without any CM. So, my last finished work - the „Zawiya Uprising“ Campaign is from 2014. 
    These are the results of „Against all Odds“:
    „Frozen Fortress“ (East Prussia 1945) is still only a poor fragment.
    “Final Hope“ (Halbe Pocket 1945) is a 16 missions Campaign of which currently 9 Mastermaps are finished — this project is still to come and not dead at all…
    „Tiger Trail“ (Belorussia 1944) is a 17 missions Campaign - currently the Beta-Version is in the final playtesting and will be part of a new project. 
     
    As a result I am of the opinion that it is time to close this topic for good. The headline isn‘t up-to-date any longer. 
    So, this will be my last reply here.
    Admins may shut down.
    But Mr.X will be back with interesting News soon 😎

    Anonymous_Jonze reacted to Mr.X in Preview: First FanMade BattlePack for CM Red Thunder   
    When will be the release? 
    The ideal date will be the 22.06.2023. But I won't promise too much....for sure, release will be 2023 ! 
    What's the current progress?
    The biggest campaign "Tiger Trail" is in its final testing stage as a Betaversion. It will be ready for 22nd June release. 
    The "Five Bridges" Campaign has seen most of the map making, which is (with my experience) the most time consuming aspect - testing will start in March.
    The "Into Hell" Campaign the same.
    The "Partisans" Land Campaign (the smallest of all) is in the middle of map making and will be ready for testing in April.
    So - to quote the guys from Battlefront 😉 "it will be ready when it's ready."
    Will there be any single Missions?
    Currently, I have plans for 3 single Missions but I doubt to have the time to put effort in these ones. So, let's see....
    Is there a possibility to increase the number of campaigns or single missions for that BattlePack?
    Of course. As the headline says, this is a project made by fan(s) of CM and everybody who wants to participate is very welcome. Honestly I have to say that I have written a mail to Battlefront and offered them this stuff (without financial interests) in order to get designs, briefings etc. more professional but they ignored myself 😜
    So, if anybody is motivated to create stuff, doesn't matter if one small single mission or a whole campaign, then this would be very appreciated 👍 The only condition is:
    the stuff must match the BattlePacks main theme "Summer of Destruction June to July 1944, ArmyGroup Central". 
    Will there be any Master Maps?
    Currently, the pack will include 12 Master maps but this number may change until release.

    Battle for Berlin V2.1
    After feedback from the BF community I have updated and put right a few issues on some of the scenario maps including:
    Set up of the forces was wrong on  some of the maps. Now fixed.
    • Missing Axis troops. Now fixed.
    • Mission Objectives missing on Kroll Opera House. Fixed.
    • A map was missing completely called Assualt the Reichstag. Fixed.
    • Plus some other minor issues fixed.
    Put all these scenarios in your CMRT Scenarios Folder and click yes to replace.
    If you note anything that looks wrong, please contact me and I will look into.
    Thanks Spike (Warts and All) for all your help.
    New scenarios coming soon. Thank you for your time.
