The steam version for me seems to be less performant on the larger scenarios than the BFC version. I double checked my nvidea settings and that isn't the source.

Streaming now, continuation of mission 3 of the soviet campaign:

COMPETITIVE SOVIET EQUIPMENT! Genuinely peer conflict in a near-modern setting rather than an event that occurred almost a century ago.

God I do love those ATGM BRDMs. Worth their weight in gold so they are. And I really did outdo myself with that title card. For those who haven't watched it yet, you absolutely should. First wave is in, lost 3 T62s, 5BTRs and 1 ATGM BRDM. In return have knocked out 3 Bradleys that I know of, and 1 was forced out of position by a non-penetrating hit.

Starting a livestream of the third mission in the soviet campaign now:

Yup.

I installed the patch, see v1.03 in the bottom left, open up the save, and it still indicates that the FO team should be on-map:

Yes, it works now. Must not have propagated or something.

Oh, it's a documentation fix.

@BFCElvis I'm getting an invalid link error.

@The_Capt Mission 3 of the normal (NOT march or die) soviet campaign (once again). v1.02: Where is the FO?

Woah woah woah, I didn't save scum anything. I finished that mission over the course of 3 sessions, all livestreamed.

Soviet objective so far haven't had anything to do with killing the enemy - it's all about pushing past the opposition and seizing key terrain. The US tank platoons in the rear were in mutually supporting positions. Fighting them would have risked getting into a fair fight, which only fools do. Doctrinally I did the right thing - preserved my forces and reached the objective. Follow on echelons are the ones that mop up. I don't want to criticize how another person plays a game, but it looks like Dbsapp lost about a third of their BMPs and half of their tank force.

Decided to finish off the second mission in the Soviet campaign this evening: Total victory. Between them the ATGM BRDMs killed 3 tanks, so again I am very happy with their performance.

The 1.02 patch has only been released on Steam. Whenever 1.02 is released for the BFC version you'll get access to PBEM+++.

Somehow my BMP got off the first shot: I guess the Vulcan was reloading as they spotted each other simultaneously.

Continuing the second mission of the Soviet campaign here: Not much happened really, lost a BMP and an igla team shot down what I believe to be a cobra.

This unofficial CM discord server has over 1000 members: https://discord.gg/dfvWxbmp Elvis has joined it, as well as popular streamers such as myself (), Hapless, KOB, and others.

All the CM gameswere supposed to be coming to steam. Originally the plan was one per quarter, with CMBN being next, but the delay with implementing PBEM+++ in Cold War delayed that. Should hopefully be back on track for one per quarter now that PBEM+++ has been implemented.

Allegedly due today.

When it flew south I believe. Was patched last year.

In terms of sales has it proven to be niche (for a CM game that is)?

Well, like I said, if you watch the video 3 of my ATGM BRDMs and a BMP get spots on the M60s almost instantly and kill them in the same turn. In the previous mission the ATGM BRDM attached to the FSE spotted and knocked out an M901 the first turn it appeared on the map. The previous times I've played both of those missions I've always been happy with their performance. In a recent PBEM one of my Shturms killed an M60A3TTS and an M901.

What's not to like? They have big missiles and huge windows with hatches which are great at spotting.

I've just finished streaming mission 2 of the Soviet campaign, will finish the rest of the mission over the course of the next few days: I suggest those who claim that sOviEt SpOtTiNg SuX!!! take a look from the 1 hour 14 minute mark.
