  1. Nice!!! Also me, I'm waiting for next Xmas bone. I hope you could show us another great illustration accompanied by great news on italian front.
  2. My ideal list: 1- Pacific theater, tiny islands, landings, jungles, too much infantry (including human waves) and very few tanks. It could be expanded to Philippines, Burma, Singapore, etc. 2- CM based on early years in the Eastern Front, Barbarossa - Stalingrad - Kursk. 3- Blitzkrieg (Poland 1939- France 1940) 4- North Africa.
  3. Well, we have dozens of pictures in books and internet which we can see full units equipped with zeltbahn along all the war, but specially during the Bocage campaign (for that I opened this thread here). I suppose that they used it in combat (and not only posing for the picture) same that, for example, GIs worn greatcoat in Bastogne, or Germans had worn parkas during the wild combats in Russia. A soldier always will fight better if he is dry and hot. About the zelthbahn funcionality, well I never used one of them, but you can see in pictures that the access to the soldier's equipment is not a problem, really it was placed on the uniform but not covering the kit, as is usual in the ponchos, because the equipment was carried on the zeltbahn. The movements don't appear a problem; it covered shoulders but not the whole arm, maybe the only issue was for running because it was covering part of the thighs. But don't forget that the other main fuction of the zeltbahn was as camouflage, and remind for example the snipers, they don't need to run, only not be watched.
  4. You're right, I believe that the main problem with it would be modeling the cloth in the 3D engine, I am not a game programmer and probably it isn't easy to do. But really, if it'd be possible it will be a great addition for all Combat Missions based in WW2 that we've currently.
  5. I wonder if is possible that german forces receive the zeltbahn as a clothes for wearing, and not only as a complement for carrying on the back. It could be used as standard piece in maps with rain or with wet condictions, but also as a random clothing in any other maps, since the zeltbahn was used often as a camouflage sistem, in fact, it was as used as camo smock which there is in game currently.
  6. Of course Michael, I know that BF has in the pipeline a module for RT, and will cover the time frame between September'44 to Berlin, or at least this we can read in the game manual. But the truth is that Chris spoke us in the last Xmas bone only about snow, but the fact is that the informacion about this module was very vague one year ago. I believe that the BF boys are working so hard and this is, most likely, the cause of their silence. Probably during next year we'll recive some modules (I can't wait to see next Christmas bone) ans maybe, only maybe, a new family game. For all this, I was asking if there are chances for Kursk, or anybody bets for another theaters such as N. Africa or France'40, or ......
  7. Ok, thaks for this info, I didn't know that all these panzergrenadiers were of the HG division only. Of course, next module will be very very interesting.
  8. I was reading last Christmas bone and a doubt came to me. Chris said that next module will include between another more, Luftwaffe Field Divisions, but really we have this unit in game now. We can play in FI+GL with luftwaffe units and not only with german airborne troops, but panzergrenadiers also. Aren't these units field divisions? P.D. No news about next module?
  9. I hope a few more that only snow.
  10. I arrived not long time ago at this forum, and I don't know if somebody from BF has said ever something about new CM modules on the Eastern Front. I checked a few threads in the forum and I read that they'll go back in time year by year, so next family would cover since Summer'43 to May'44. Does BF release this game next year or will they continue with modules for one or two years more? Thanks in advance for the info.
  11. After hundred of game hours, I've noticed that the MG mounted in the JS-2 hull (right side, together the driver) isn't working. Really, this MG is modeled only in last JS-2 model, but I'm not sure if this one is working or not. I only want that the servers know this bug and, if it's possible, resolve the problem in futures updates. Thanks and continue with your great job.
  12. Maybe is too soon for talk about next RT module, but with engine 4.0 near, and probably also the next FI module, maybe now is time to speculate on what is waiting us in the "wild east". Cold and snow (winter is coming). The basic and essential added to Red Thunder (IMO) More maps, much more maps. RT is a great game but really I'd like to have more scenaries for playing. In the RT manual, BF said that next module will covert the time frame since RT (September'44) to Battle of Berlin. Well, this was wrote near three years ago, maybe the plans have changed in this time. This front is huge, and there are enough operations and miles for bring them to us in several modules and packs. (Really it would be great to play with the 45 TO&E.) Later versions for russians and german vehicles and tanks and, of course, kitties and elephants. About lend-lease tanks, I miss them since the beginning. Really, it'd be great can to play with "red Shermans" advancing on the steppes. but I was asking me if these tanks will come in the next Red Thunder module or as a vehicle pack. KVs, KVs everywhere KV-85, KV-1S. and maybe the older KV-1 because it was used in the Karelian front in much later periods as 1944. This option has sense if BF expand the current Eastern Front to another sectors. About units, probably LW Field Divisions, Gebirsjägers, Fallschirmsjägers, Waffen, .... and maybe(crossing fingers) another countries such as Finland, Hungary, Roumania, etc... In the russian side, another great option would be to add polish units. I know that I forgot to much, so if anybody has a good idea, please add here.
  13. Won't we have any news before next Christmas bone? There isn't official information about how is advancing the work on next expansion since long time ago. I wish to see some screenshots at least.
  14. Great news, I hope that ChrisND bring us more info soon, and some screenshot (if is this possible).
  15. Last year, ChrisND and later Stephen, they brought some news about BF road ahead during fisrt days of July. Maybe this year they repeat (please!!!!) and update some info about next modules, specially about next FI which would be nearest in time.
  16. Of course, KV serie is very interesting and iconic for russian forces. For this period we have KV-85 and KV-1S and, if next module covers the Leningrad area, the KV-1C, which were used in small number in the Karelian front.
  17. I want not Christmas every month, but I want news about next italian module
  18. Battlefront said when RT was released, that next module will cover till war end, but maybe they have decide to divide this long period in differents modules. In any case, I wish to see in next module lend-lease vehicles and KV tanks for soviets, and latest SP guns and tanks models for germans, 45 TO&E and maybe new nations such as Hungary or Romania.
  19. Actually, there are Panthers on GL module (model A early and mid) and I'm sure that we will see some G versions with the next module. I hope that the community receive more news soon, there aren't info since last Christmas bone.
  20. I'd like to mention the fact that american forces wear greatcoats and don't use gloves in terrains which haven't snow. But nevertheless, german forces always are wearing gloves, in maps with or without snow, wearing greatcoats or only standart uniforms. This may not be a bug, but I'm not sure. I shall take this opportunity to congratulate on your excellent work in FB.
  21. After be playing FB during near one week, I can say that it is a great game with fantastic new features. Well, I know that Chris and all the team are working hard for bring us soon a patch for correct some bugs. However now I'd like to ask to devs about possible developments in the next module for FI. We have not any info since last December. I am not asking for a exactly date for release, only some words about its current status and if possible, only if possible, some screenshots with new units and weapons, It would be a "real pleasure for the senses". I can't wait to play with last war machines and TO&E. Thanks in advance and keep your great work. PD: I'm curious for know if this module will include the last features in FB relating at Tiger I, that is if Tiger i Mid will receive the rubber wheels.
  22. Thank you for your answers MikeyD, they are much appreciated. I glance over ARR pictures.
  23. Hi everybody. CMFB looks like a wonderful game. I can't wait for play it. After a first quickly reading of the manual, I've some doubts and I would like that anybody of the dev team or the veterans players help me to resolve them. 1. The TO&E will include late 1944 formations. Will we see german M44 pattern uniforms and american M43 pattern uniforms or will we've to await for the next expansion Jan-May 45? 2. Will Panther G mid come with the steel wheels ?(on the page 77 of the manual is mentioned that detail but it isn't confirmed) 3. Tiger II will be Henschel model, but what happens with the Jagdtiger? Will it be Henschel or Porsche? The model which isn't coming now, will it come in future expansions? Thanks in advance and I hope a short wait until the end of January
