Rafterman

Thanks a lot for the in-depth answer! That preset is just what I'm looking for. So far I play with it just as it is, but I'm planning to do some tweaking. You are not wrong when it comes to the vanilla settings. It really doesn't take much to make this game pop!

Nice grab! Are you using reshade and what settings? I tried setting up reshade because @Mord has some amazing screenshots, but for some reason it feels very dark on my monitor.

I don't intend to. I do however have to start somewhere and I will have to buy the whole experience over time.

Perfect! Sounds like NATO will be the obvious one to go for when I need to expand. Thanks a lot guys!

Thx Squarehead! As far as I can see that expansion pack is the only one with more than one scenario, that alone makes it worth it I reckon?

Hi guys I hope you are all well during the holidays! I am a 'newcommer' to the CM series and war gaming in general. I have been a gamer all my life, and love strategy games and especially tactical oriented games. I have played both, BN, FB, BS, FI and now I have taken the jump into what has to be the most interesting of all the Combat Mission settings imo, Shock Force. Even though I own a lot of the CM games, I don't have a lot of experience with them. I don't believe I have much more than 100 hours total, and I am definitely not a veteran or pro yet. I do however feel that I have surpassed that initial learning bump and have come to grasp with a lot of the games deep mechanics (c2 network mechanics still elude me somehow). The reason I haven't played every campaign to completetion in all of the titles yet, is that I quickly loose focus during the major battles of especially some of the ww2 titles. So far the scope of the vanilla shock force 2 campaign is right up my ally. I'm having a blast! I love the setting and the asymmetrical warfare and small to medium sized battles. So here is my question. Of the three expansion packs, which one would you recommend? Which one has the most value for money and the most interesting campaigns and scenarios? Thanks in advance!

Thx for your responses guys. I was in quite a hurry to get some gametime in before my wife soon gives birth again so I went and spent a lot of time modding the game myself in the end. @Erwin that is not a bad idea at all! I am sure a lot of people will be interested. As soon as I have time i will help look into the matter.

Thx for your reply gnarly. At this point I already know how to mod. I'm looking for someone who is willing to share their complete mod folder for CM FB so I don't have to go through the hazzle of downloading all the mods again.

Hi guys Im returning to this awesome game soon, but unfortunately I lost all my data from a hardware failure. Is it possible for any of you to give me a link to your mod folder. I remember CM FB taking a very long time to mod the last time. Thx in advance!
