If the CMx2 base games we have are all we are going to be getting, I dont have any issues with that at all if BFC needs to move on from CM, or just focus CM into modern titles/titles made for British MOD, ect.. There is plenty of experiences to be had within the games that are already released.
But I would rather we knew as a community that was the direction this train was going. If BFC is done moving the ball forward on CMx2 content, and CMx3 is not on the table, and the only CMx2 content that is being developed is by the community, then make it official.
You all are working with Slitherine/Matrix. Look at what they did with WitP. WitP was a fantastic, really groundbreaking, game. We loved it - but we saw that there was much more that could be done with a lot more work. The official developers (2by3) had moved on, so the community put together some really talented people and created WitP:AE as an official Matrix product, not just a mod - a game that thrives to this day.
Steve and everyone at BFC, maybe you all are hard at work on CMx3 or CMx2 Kursk, and are going to drop that bomb on all of us soon. If not, and you all have moved on from actively developing content for CMx2 (not just patching, but content from inhouse BFC) just make that official so we know what the road forward looks like. If its up to us to team up with you all and develop the new content for CMx2, there are many of us who would like to do so - but are waiting to see if CMx3 is a thing thats even being discussed. This also serves well in framing our expectations - if nothing more is coming, then we can stop looking for something new, and start looking at how we can add to what we already have.
Many of us have been here a long time - we want to see CM succeed as it is really unique in what it presents.
You all have been very good at transparency in the past - would love a little insight into your thoughts on the future of CM.
Thanks
Chad

Abandoned by the community working with BFC, no. We already know of a number of modules being created for WW2 titles by members of the community. The question I am looking for some direction on from BFC is what is BFC's plans for commercial CM? Is BFC done creating content, and is now only managing a 16 year old game engine and supporting community made content?
Look at the release schedule of the major CMx2 games (as far as I recall):
CMSF 2007
CMBN 2011
CMFI 2012
CMRT 2014
CMBS 2014
CMFB 2016
That means that once the code for CMx2 was stable after a few years of working on CMSF, they released 5 major titles in 6 years. Not counting the many expansions in that same period of time. An amazing pace that took the work of many people for sure. I was there for every single one of those releases and thoroughly enjoyed them all (even tried to enjoy CMA, but that just wasnt my jam).
In the 7 years since CMFB, we have seen support of the CMx2 titles, a community made game (CMCW), and a few modules - and I believe most, if not all, of these modules since 2016 have been community made.
I would love to hear that work is well underway on CMx3, or say CM Kursk. But I fear that the shift has been made from BFC creating content, to the community creating content under BFC. Not exactly the worst case scenario - we have some really talented members of our community. But I would be sad to see the content stream from BFC stop - that content stream has been something I have enjoyed for the last 23 years.
My gut feeling is that our New Years bone in January will just be all the things that were suppose to happen this year, many of which are community created, and didnt. 
If that is the case, BFC, it may be time to just be honest that the ball has shifted to us to create content. Or, announce that CMx3 is releasing in 2024

From my point of view you have these "official" BFC endorsed battle packs that are integrated into the DRM with a license key and such and make a small bit of money for BFC to do whatever. The guys who make them do a top quality job and have the BFC template briefings and I guess the proper playability in all 3 modes (H2H, vs axis AI and vs allied AI). These guys do it out of pride and loyalty to BFC and I guess do not get a sliver of the profits. I have no idea. None of my business.
In my 2 cent opinion, I think BFCElvis is the only real productive member of the BFC team. He is on top of so much and can be on the Golf course and handle an issue with somebody. I THINK he is the guy who mails/mailed the old hardcopy CD-ROMS and booklets. I think. Steve is 24/7 manning the Ukraine Thread working on his PhD thesis for post-war exploitation and sales of BFC training products such as "CM Pro" or whatever it is called. Charles works 60 hours a week according to Steve. Maybe we'll see the fruits of Charles's efforts at some point. Picture in picture drone video? Flares? Jack in the box turret explosions? You got me. I do sincerely wish BFC the best of success. 
I am obviously disgruntled to some degree because BFC doesn't do what I personally want. That is life. I moved on and try to extract the maximum joy out of the game.
