BN looks pretty good modded, try the 'Hedgerow hell' mod to improve the environment look.

[Capturing/Controlling a Towns]

When I first moved to CM2, I badly missed the right click on screen menus from CM1 which seemed a much more elegant way of controlling the game. Also proper fog and mist.

The_Capt is one of the CMCW development team, so if he says that CM3 is a thing, then thats good enough for me. Hopefully we will get confirmation in part.2 of the '2024 year ahead ' thread soon.

Yes I can see that developments in drone warfare and use of precision artillery are making BS look a little 'old school'. Winter war 2,0 would be cool though.

Oh! nice to see CM3 is real too.

I think the only way around this would be to change the focus for the game setting. Have the expansion set in a fictional second front, maybe a invasion of Finland or Poland.

That way you can reuse any assets already developed and add a new faction. A lot more work but it removes the emphasis from Ukraine.

That or just make a new game entirely.

 SdKfz 251 'Drilling' is in FB base game.

As for CM1, if Battlefront ever release a CMAK 2 and early war east front game, then I'll retire the cm1 series finally, never to see Moe, Larry and Curley ever again.

CM1 can look tidy when modded though.

[Pre-orders for the CMFB module Download are now open]

 Re bought the CM1 titles on GOG awhile back to get my north africa and early east front fixes (only around £5.00 each). Finding CM1 mods online nowadays is a challenge.

 Preorder  completed. First chance to play with Comets and Pershings again since CMBO can't wait.

 Nothing springs to mind, recon scenarios are pretty thin on the ground, only one I remember was 'Cats chasing dogs'

in BN and that was U.S. versus Germans. Could be others though.

Not only the Sherman, Cromwell and Staghounds too.

This project is starting to look very impressive (I can do without the gore personally). If he can finish it I will buy it.

Time for BF to look over their shoulders at the competion!

[How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?]

Would thermobaric explosives provide enough over pressure to detonate a minefield?

Quick google search came up with this proposal which was looked at in the early 80's (sorry about the image,didn't know how to flip it right side up).The idea was to hit a minefield with thermobaric cluster bombs.

[Tactical Lessons and Development through history]

It may be worth pointing out that in the British army, up to 1871, officer commissions could be bought and sold, up to the rank of colonel.

Also, officer training at places like Sandhurst appeared to have been an optional extra rather than a requirement.

Doe's make you wonder how much military theory was considered back then, at least in the army - the Royal Navy was professionalised for much of its history.

[British Army bayonet mod for lee-enfield mk4]

Blender stuff is well above my pay grade.

Excellent mod by the way.

My Tommies now look properly equipped for combat.

[British Army bayonet mod for lee-enfield mk4]

Hi

Just measured the 'pig sticker' bayonet I have, its 25cm from back edge (where it joins the rifle) to the point.

Probably too late to affect the mod,but just for your information.

[British helmet mk3 instead of mk2?]

"normandy v210 market garden a .brz" contains .mdr files etc for British infantry including helmets.

Hope this is helpful.

[Combat Mission Cold War - British Army On the Rhine]

Hi, new poster

Swingfire antitank missile system, fitted to the FV102 Striker and FV438 (based on FV432 APC). Will be interested to see how this will be implemented in game. Quote from Wikipedia:

"The name refers to its ability to make a rapid turn of up to ninety degrees after firing to bring it onto the line of the sighting mechanism. This means that the launcher vehicle could be concealed and the operator, using a portable sight, placed at a distance in a more advantageous firing position."

It would be exellent if you can replicate this ability in game.

Anyhow just glad to see British forces being added so quickly.

Thanks
