I know it's not considered PC around here to ask about timescales.  But in true 'Emporers new clothes' fashion I'm going to ask.   
I think there was a time the Italy expansion and the Red Thunder expansion were expected to be released last year.  Obviously thats not the aspiration any more. 
Is it still hoped to release them or has development stopped?
(PS. sorry if I've missed a communication, but I've been visiting the Italy page regularly and not noticed anything)

BF have a product which nothing else measures up to in my opinion.  Very few people will be foolish enough to pass up on it just because they are miffed about the comms.

Hi Devs,
 
A few months ago I treated myself to a tank Sim called Steel Beasts. It has an excellent feature where you order movement to a point on a road and it will plot the route along the road for you.  Is this a feature that could be implemented in CM? 
 
If so it would make movement of road columns so much less tedius than it currently is.  For me, plotting road movement is the only thing which has slightly marred CM since the beginning, especially on large scenarios, everything else being pretty much perfect for me.

I can't think of any other PC wargame out there that has the authenticity of Combat Mission.  I have to confess I still haven't played all the content thats already been provided in these titles, so I'm going to have to concentrate on that while I agonise about the next titles (the Russian Front to 1945 is the one I'm drooling for).
I've seen a lot of debate on game forums and one thing I know for sure is the more the game is loved the more anger is generated about developer communications.....

Thanks all, I'll give your suggestions a go.  I've been distracted by playing Red Thunder for a while
