Question about "The Road Ahead"?

"Combat Mission fans have a lot to look forward to in the next year as the CMx2 game engine continues to produce games at an every faster pace. At the moment we have three games in active development and more planned. While we aren't in a position to make detailed announcements right now, we can tell you what the three are about (in no particular order):

1. CM: Battle for Normandy Module 2. This Module picks up where CM:BN and Commonwealth left off... with the September push out of France to the German border. The content centers around Operation Market Garden, though it covers more ground than just that. The game includes a number of new vehicles, formations, and new terrain models/textures. Adding new terrain, a first for any Module so far, ensures that you feel like you're fighting near Germany and not still back at the beacheads.

2. CM: Eastern Front 1. The first of four Eastern Front "families" starts with Operation Bagration (June 1944) and eventually covers through to the end of the war (May 1945). For many tactical warfare enthusiasts, this period is considered the most tactically interesting since both sides were at their peak of their military technology, organization, and experience. The scope and scale of the combat offers plenty of subject matter to explore.

3. CM: Shock Force 2. Our return to modern warfare is long overdue! Given how close Shock Force 1 was at predicting a conventional conflict in Syria, we're a little nervous about choosing a topic this time around. Especially because we've chosen to simulate a full spectrum conventional conflict between NATO and Russia in the Ukraine. This gives players a rich tactical environment to explore with the most advanced militaries the world has ever seen. Having said that, we hope the politicians aren't insane enough to try it for real. Even thought this is great stuff for a game, it's the last thing this world needs in real life.

We have more games planned for 2013, however we are making no formal announcements at this time. These three mini-announcements should be enough to keep you busy for a while."

Now by no means am I dissatisfied or upset with the timetable or progress of releases.There is plenty to do with Gustav so im happy.That being said,can we get an updated road ahead schedule?Does BF feel they are behind schedule with releases or right on schedule?

Would love to see Eastern Front 1 come out first --have no interest in Shock Force 2--just my opinion (an old timer).

C'mon, let's get real. Battlefront will never get a military contract with CM:EF.

Industry standard is "first announced date plus 6 months."

I think that modern war title sounds very interesting, although Bagration very much more so. Finances permitting I'll buy them both.

No interest in the modern stuff, but I've bought (and will continue to buy) any/every thing WWII-related since the Alpha AAR with IIRC Fionn and someone. Gaming time is at a premium,, but that Alpha AAR was the hook. Essentially Squad Leader on the PC, which was akin to my Holy Grail (barring Vorpal Bunnies) for gaming.

CMBO, CMAK, CMBB, CMBN, CMCW, CMFI, CMGL, etc. Heck, I evan have dual copies of CMBN and CMCW 'cause I switched from PC to Mac during that period, and couldn't be without.

Really looking forward to revisiting the Eastern Front in CMx2.
