Holman Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Folks, I'm not finding it with a search. Is there any hint yet of when CMBN will be updated? I've been here a long time, so I know the formal answer is "when it's done." I also know it never hurts to ask for a hint. Sometimes the brain jar leaks. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 No no-one knows, it has been "soon" from the summer onwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatmasta Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yes, been waiting for that for a while. And I think there was some talks earlier that there would be at least one new base game (or two, bagration and bulge?) and the OMG module for BN and couple of modules for FI during the next 12 month period. And that 12 month period was mentioned during the summer so there should be a bit more stuff coming up than the BN 2.0 upgrade. Or was it during the 2013? But lots of stuff should be out and I hope the guys at BFC can deliver that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 My expectation is CMBN v2 before Xmas, then Market-Garden in the Spring, a module for Italy in the Summer, and a Bulge game by next Christmas. I don't know what to expect for the East Front, since there's more new stuff required there. Note that this schedule is pulled entirely out of thin air and optimism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't know what to expect for the East Front, since there's more new stuff required there. All that's really required for the Bagration title is the Russian kit as the German kit has already been done, at least up until late 1944. I'd expect the Bagration title to cover the fighting up until about September with the modules taking it further to the end of the war. With the 1943 German kit making an appearance in CMFI you might argue that work is also ongoing on the 1943 East title title as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 When CMFI was sprung on us, BFC. Stated we'd have CMBN v2, Market Garden, and Bagration in a year...so I think Martyr has it about right, except Bagration by June-ish, 2013. Bulge by Christmas 2013??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 All that's really required for the Bagration title is the Russian kit... But that's a fair amount of work, on top of Soviet OOB stuff and a bunch of new terrain and buildings graphics. Let's not underestimate the ease with which these things get cranked out. I know BFC has talked up that aspect of CMx2, but a certain amount of that may have been viewing the issue through rose-tinted glasses. Never, never, never underestimate the number and obduracy of unanticipated problems that can come with any project, especially one having anything to do with computers and people.

Holman Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm hoping that they might also fool around with the AI (Tac and Strat) a bit to make the Russians fight more like Russians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
