Drizzt73 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi all, I have had Battle for Normandy for a couple of years and am getting back into it. As per my title I am choosing between updating Normandy to either 2.0 or 3.0 and possibly getting Commonwealth forces or should I just get Fortress Italy? Also is 3.0 worth getting? Any comments/ thoughts welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Go ahead and get all of CMBN up to 3.11...when ready, then get CMRT then CMFI w/all modules. Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfhand Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Well, I advocate getting everything... but if I were to go the CMBN route you describe I'd get both updates with the MG module rather than the CW module. Not only do you get most of the CW force but you get Holland terrain and buildings as well. As far as CMFI + GL + v3 upgrade goes, well it is every bit as good of a choice, IMHO. CMRT is also very good. It all really depends on what you want to play and I find I enjoy playing all of them equally. They each present their own challenges and wonderment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments/ thoughts welcome. The MG and the CW module add a lot to CMBN. Especially MG. Saying that I'm currently playing the campaigns from FI and GL and they are some of the best I have ever played with a great diversity of units and - it seems to me - much more balance in equipment standards. Buy all of them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Backer Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 LOL so just buy everything seems to be the consensus It seems you're part way there along the CMBN path with what you have. If you like it, I'd say complete the CMBN line. I'd not pass up on either CW or MG. Both gave unique features. I got the vehicle pack as well because the units it adds make the whole game a great representation of the later war. If you then want Italy after that then of course go for it. I feel it's better to have a whole of one than parts of two. In any event, you'll have fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDog944 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I definitely say get Italy. You'll get more bang for buck, and you can come back after to upgrade CMBN in smaller steps for less money up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
