Jargotn Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 In the WW2 Combat Missions the date of a scenario can have a major impact on the scenario: Vehicles, formations and soldier equipment changed during the war and so they do ingame. I can't imagine the US Army issuing a new rifle to the units stationed in Ukraine, and I also don't think that Russia will start building a new tank. Will the scenario date impact premade scenarios at all? Will they change rarity points for QBs? Or will there be no impact at all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The game covers June through August. For base game there is no impact from the date, other than for story purposes, dawn/dusk times, and night illumination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Will the partial lunar eclipse on Aug 7 2017 3:52 PM UTC in Ukraine occur in game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Partial lunar eclipse on Aug 7 2017 3:52 PM UTC in Ukraine ... I will bet is in the next module I suspect dawn/dusk times, and night illumination will impact what folks w/o the right kit can see and kill! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Ha ha, I had to check the game just to see. There is indeed a full moon that day. I'm not clever enough to convert UTC universal time to local Ukrainian (add two hours?) so I couldn't land on the correct hour/minute of the day to check. But don't under estimate CM.

LUCASWILLEN05 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would still like a winter variant though. Just in case Vlad tries this in winter or the war lasts longer.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Bulge title's coming. CMRT late-44-45 module's coming. So they're going to eventually have standing terrain art on their hands to plug in for winter fighting. I think the issue is mostly going to be coming up with a plausible backstory that stretches out the CMBS conflict for another six months. NATO and Russia sitting there snarling at each other across stagnant lines for 3/4 of a year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ceasefire that breaks down? Sure we can do that. Give me a few minutes and I can come up with a plausible theory for just about any scenario. Bring it on, winter, summer etc etc we want it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
