Sequoia Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I know this thread is mainly on what we might see in a CM:BN Battlepack but some of the vehicles I anticipate being in the Bulge Family that we don't have yet are: Bulge Base Game: The Chaffee The M18 Hellcat The M36 tank destroyer Sherman Jumbos Hetzer Jd Pz IV/70 The Bulge Commonwealth Module might have: The later Churchills Archer Challenger A late war module might have: Pershing Comet Jadgtiger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The Bulge Commonwealth Module might have: The later Churchills Archer Challenger The Challenger could actually fit the CMBN timeframe. And which models of Churchill are you thinking of here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 All the better if we get the Challenger with the MG module, though I have no idea if XXX corps had any. For the Churchill, I was thinking the IX, X, and XI which I just assumed came after the VIII but your question sent me to check my Chamberlain and Ellis and I see now they were reworked versions of earlier models and may not necessarily have come later. I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 AFAIK, those Churchill models never saw action in Northwestern Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well, I for one would definitely hope to see the M18 Hellcat included with the Market Garden module seeing as the AFV was available in NWE from about July onwards! Seeing as Market Garden is almost certainly going to be the last module for CMBN it should definitely be included for the June to September period that the CMBN family encompasses, expecially since it was hardly a rare, used in one engagement type of AFV.

Freyberg Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Actually one or two of the super-light SPG / mobile AT gun kind of things would probably be a good addition, if they were considered infantry support and maybe included in the infantry ToE. Just one or two could kind of stand in for various kinds of that class of weapon and add an interesting new dimension to mainly infantry combat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 To hell with super-light SPGs, get me an M12! The case for it is good: *It saw action in the correct geographic area and timeframe. *It uses the M3 chassis so can be built, in part, from earlier work. *It has a great big stonking gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we have the M12 we have to have Hummels right? We had Hummels in CMBO! And 90mm M2 AA guns and M2a1 105mm Howitzers and some Sherman variant that didn't exist. Still, I'm happier with what we're getting with CMX2 in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMolestCats Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I would love if we could get a few emplaced arty guns . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 When do we get the hermaphrodite Sherman? You know, the one that mated the front end of the A1 to the rear end of the A2, or some such. IIRC it saw service in some Brit formations. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The Sherman Hybrid Ic Firefly. I think that will be Bulge and later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Looks as if you guys wanting flame vehicles in the Battlepack will get your wish. I'm assuming one will need to upgrade to 3.0 to be able to use the Battlepack, and perhaps like the Market-Garden module there will be a bundle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was thinking some more about what else might be in the first Battlepack and one thing that came to mind was captured vehicles. This would be in addition to the French Vehicles the Germans used that have already been mentioned in this thread. I don't recall that CMBO had any captured vehicles. CMBB had plenty and I was wondering how wide spread the use of captured vehicles was on the Western Front. I know some were used and the off the top of my head assumption would be the Allies captured more German vehicles than the Germans captured Allied. However again my assumption would be is the Western Allies would be less likely to use captured German AFVs than the other way around. I certainly can see the Allies putting any captured transport to good use however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLaurier Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The British Tetrarch Airbourne tank is a possibility. About 20 were landed by glider with the 6th Airbourne. We also need not limit ourselves to vehicles. I doubt we'll see US Rangers and British Commandos with the Market-Garden Module. They could be added with a Battlepack. Throwing in the Free French is also a good possibility. The "free French" would of course speak Berber or Arabic. Only the officers and NCOs were french 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Ans Senegalese but only up until about October/Nov when they were replaced by French Nationals. De Gaulle wanted to collect all the different resistance movements into the Free French Army where they would be under his control. And there was Le Clerc's division which was mostly French National. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
