The BFC website login details aren't necessarily the same as the ones for the forum (this site). And of course if you happened to have changed your username here, it won't have changed your BFC website username. That may not be anything to do with it, but just a thought.

You're not joking there Frank. It's a huge amount of work and it's great . PS Just caught this post after playing PBEM turns of CMRT Monster Mash, CMBN Boy's against men and CMFB Hot time in Hatten. What a game this is.

I hadn't really thought about that. Thanks for today's lesson, appreciated. Got any more ?

Love it Frank, you have done an amazing job. Unlike my play-testing, but I'll continue .

Particularly as I don't believe the thread is actually monitored or acted upon in any way by BFC. I would be happy to find out I'm wrong about that, but until I do I think this thread is just a sounding off place where users air their thoughts to each other on improvements. There are similar 'bug' threads in the various forums.

Ouch! Great illustration of what they can do though, with luck and/or good planning, and maybe only for a short while.

That's correct, he's not.

Come on Rob, ignore old forum stuff and just play the game .

With this I agree, perhaps quarterly would be good enough. The only problem (which I have first-hand experience of ) is if all you can say after 3 months is 'there has been no progress'. But that's something you can manage. I think this already happens for some developments. As you say, @George MC 'involves' the community, and so does @Ithikial_AU. Perhaps the problem with the CMFB module is we don't know who (if anyone) is working on it. As it's bringing in new forces etc. I imagine it will involve Charles as well as 'outsiders'. Play-testing is often done by more than a limited number of BFC play-testers. By invite or by volunteering. But of course this needs the communication you referred to above. And I can't help but mention the current work of @Mr.X on RT campaigns. Frank has done absolutely great work but has also involved a lot of people to play-test by requesting it on the forum. All for a free user-made release. Love it . Anyway, the more I think about it I'd just be happy to know that the FB module is still part of 'the plan', and that it will arrive at some point. I would happily pre-order if that would help, but I doubt it.

I might suggest a fast forward, but it's not really for me to say so if you're enjoying it that's fine by me . I only arrived here in 2020 .

But now it's been necro'd, who knows...

I think that's a reasonable summary .

Perhaps, but this is the Red Thunder forum .

I had another quick look around, and only came up with: On January 30th 2023, in the CM General Discussion forum Steve said the Steam release of CMFB was planned for December 23 / January 24. He had previously said the CMFB module would be released at the same time as the Steam release, but did not repeat that in the January 30th post. A while later he said there was still a lot to do on the module, but that an update would soon appear in the CMFB forum. I haven't managed to find that update. I may have missed things, and the saying 'best laid plans...' probably applies, but my hope is the module will be released in line with the above. Preferably December, but no biggie if not.

I'm sure it won't take you long. If it was me I wouldn't be stuffing my bra with C4. Hang on, I don't wear a bra. Honestly...

You'll be telling us American paras made their socks sticky and stuck them to passing Tigers next .

I bow to your excellent knowledge of Korean. I have none, either knowledge or gochujang.

I'm not sure Combat Mission and its mods were part of the syllabus back then?

Okay, a quick search on the wondrous emporium that is Amazon suggested Gochujang. I have actually tried that one and it was good. And now Phil, please - back to your great work my friend.

Slightly off-topic but is there a particular brand you would recommend? Sorry Phil you can get back on topic shortly.

Mmmm, I like Red Pepper Paste. In fact @kohlenklau brought me some Texan chilli sauce when he visited the UK. Very nice it was too Phil, thanks again.

I can see an Allied unit in pic 2 - they aren't the ones responsible?

Yeah just say it how you mean it . Glad you and your wife are okay.

Playing Hot Time in Hatten now in a PBEM as US. You don't get a choice to purchase TRPs, it's not a QB. And yes, the 60mm mortars are pretty useless so far. I'm trying to get them into direct fire positions where they won't immediately die. At the same time my opponent is raining heavy calibre artillery on my forward positions . But that's a small element of the battle...

Having played this from the other side against @Ultradave I know what a game it is. Great pics!
