Bud Backer Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hope I'm not too late to this party (it's been a hell of a year and only now is my life just beginning to get back to "normal"). What I am reading here sounds very good. BFC continues to be an industry leader, for which we may be grateful.Just in the last few days I've found myself replaying "Task Force Raff" with pleasure and I look forward to the new terrains, organizations, and features this new family offers.MichaelWelcome back, Michael. Raff is pretty darn good, isn't it? I've replayed it multiple times and still enjoyed each one. I wonder if it's nostalgia as that was the first time I every played any form of CM and it just is such a positive memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Oh that's just brilliant to see. Welcome back @Michael Emrys. Someone had a pool going to guess if you would make it back before bulge was released. I thought it was a bit gouche (sp?). All the same I'm glad you made it first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks, Wicky. Strange as it may sound, I have missed—somewhat—this crowd of sick puppies and howling baboons.MichaelFor a minute there I thought I was back in the Peng thread. Welcome back. Your cardboard box in front of House Rune has had an addition. I bought a new 4K TV and tossed the box out there. You're welcome.:D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amidali Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Question for the history buffs (CM Final Blitzkrieg vs CMFI second module vs CMRT winter module)CMFB will have new forces (Volksgrenadier and Gebirgsjäger), new TO&E and new vehicles.I expect to find most of these also in the new CMFI and CMRT modules.From what I remember, there should be Volksgrenadier on the Eastern front, but not in Italy.Any other German forces, formations, vehicles specific to one front?P.S. Volkssturm:Is Battlefront planning to introduce them?Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Could you imagine having to create a skin for the Volkssturm? Wrinkles, little wire rimmed glasses, grey hair and taches etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHarry Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I´m fairly sure that Volkssturm will be included in a CMX game covering the last months of WW2. Maybe CMRT derivative first. We´ll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobetco Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I more so wonder what battlefront will do about the child soldiers then, are they going to tip toe around that (which i'd be ok with, its a really uncomfortable thing to portray) or actually have them in the final month or so of the war?

Sequoia Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Steve said the engine has to treat all soldiers as being the same size so there can't be any child sized pixeltruppen. I doubt they'd do it anyway if they could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were still around in '42 but I'm not sure about after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also an SS Fallshirmjager battalion in the east too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migo441 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 There were German cavalry formations on the Eastern Front in 1944. They had a brigade or two from what I recall. Indeed, two of the German units encircled in Budapest were Cavalry Divisions: 8th SS Cavalry Division 'Florian Geyer' and 22nd SS Cavalry Division 'Maria Theresa'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also a few Hungarian cavalry divisions too. I'm just glad that we were finally able to get the Soviet cavalry formations in CMRT even if they are dismounted. At least we can include them in battles now without their mounts. Nothing involving cavalry made it into CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That someone would be me. Looks like the Emrys vs Bulge thread has taken on a life of its own. Talk about having "bigger fish to fry".http://community.battlefront.com/topic/121076-bfc-office-pool-which-will-appear-first-the-savior-or-the-bulge/(BTW, I'm nothing if not "gauche", Ian. Come on, Buddy. As a fellow Canadian, you had to have taken at least a couple of years of French. Or were you away that day?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
