daft Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Any small campaigns in the works? By small I mean company sized force, not "company+". I find this size to be the most enjoyable personally. The official campaigns are just to large for my tastes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocal Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I too, would enjoy something in the same vein as Devil's Descent or Cobra's Strike. I wonder if FMB is still around, I haven't seen him in awhile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had so much fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 1966 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hi Scottie, same to me here! I´m dreaming of dynamic campaigns on one map, where the destruction, the wracks, craters are taken over into the new battle on this map. Where you are fighting the 5th battle for this damnded house on the roadcrossing, wich is a ruin...but still you have to remember how hard you fought for it! i still missing the "original" campaigns in CMBO, CMBB...sigh! Greetings John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroBodine Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I also strongly prefer the smaller battles and campaigns. I'm curious, was there an outpouring of support for huge battles? Is that why Battlefront created these monster campaigns for RT? All I hear on the forums is folks looking for smaller company sized battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm curious, was there an outpouring of support for huge battles? Yeah, actually there was...kind of. It might be an exaggeration to call it an "outpouring", but there was vocal support for big scenarios that was not matched by voices for smaller scenarios. I've been beating the drum for smaller scenarios all along, and although I wasn't entirely alone in that, I didn't feel like I was part of an army either.

z1812 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I too favour small scenarios and campaigns. With game time being scarce for me, the only way I might have the opportunity to play a scenario through at one time is with small scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skwabie Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 well i admit i was thinking of larger maps and more open terrain after CMBN. but apparently i failed to predict with the enlargement of the maps, so goes up the unit count. perhaps less unit density is more suited to a modern setting?... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunhill06 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hear, hear, another vote for small campaigns! I am loving this game but am feeling overwhelmed at the size of the maps. I"m sure I will like the big maps later but I feel I have work up to them. As one of those Eastern-front-only/CMBB guys, it's great to be back at Battlefront, by the way, and seeing some old familiar names after a very long absence. I see z1812, for instance, we shared quite a few battles back then ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMike Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 For those looking for a somewhat smaller sized scenario, but still a sizable battle by any standard, have you tried CMRT Firebrigade von Saucken yet by any chance? Perhaps the size of that scenario fits the bill. It is up in the repository. Give it a shot. *shameless promotion end here* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerMike Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Great. Let me know if you think it is any good. And if the size of that battle hits the sweet spot for you (and others that do not favor mega battles). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open terrain should favor a general trend toward lower unit density compared to more closed up terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think larger maps necessarily need to have higher unit count. I think larger maps are great, and with lower unit count would provide for some excellent maneuvering and options for the attacker/defender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think larger maps are great, and with lower unit count would provide for some excellent maneuvering and options for the attacker/defender. agree, it's why i and i believe many liked the german campaign in CMSF. but maybe the terrain in theater is like that. i mean you can't have a desert campaign for the russian front. at first the open steppe comes to mind, but turns out it's not so either. anyway... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not feeling overwhelmed other than through my regular incompetence. We'll see how it goes, but the will probably be a lot of pixel parents in tears back in Germany once this is over... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMike Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Good. The size of the German force is company(+), somewhat larger than your preference if I read your first post in this thread. But by introducing the German forces piecemeal, this should not be too big a deal I hope. I too am sometimes overwhelmed by the really big battles, brilliant though they may be. This scenario is just about the upper limit I prefer. But that is just me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
