Bulletpoint Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'd like to see a CM:Stalingrad with a big reworking of how buildings, ruins, fortifications, trenches, bunkers, etc. work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm up for just about anything that they'll produce, but would actually like a setting which would force me to read up about conflicts/battles I don't know much about now. I have always liked CM being a vehicle for history lessons. Korea is definitely a war I know zilch about and it seems like an interesting blend between modern and WWII equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion for the 'interesting' blend is Arab-Israeli wars, especially 1967. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodin Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Obviously the rest of the East front. Late war WW1 could be cool, then again the size of the scenarios and amount of units used any period of WW1 would be fine. Straightening the line and trench raids would work fantastically at any point in WW1, then Gallipoli would be great aswell. So thinking about it the engine would work well for any WW1 period. Only when you start getting to operational scale and higher can it become an issue with regards to static warfare. There is enough information out there to create thousands of WW1 scenarios from all stages of the War. This sort of scale is fine for WW1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzleflash1990 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I just wish they would make some game announcements. Each game release is preceded by an announcement 3 months before. So, by applying causal logic: to increase customer satisfaction and profits, the wise thing for Battlefront to do, would be to announce a lot of titles today (since yesterday is not possible), perhaps all the proposed titles in this thread. Then we will be able to play them 3 months from now in the coming new year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG TOW Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 ... don't forget the sontarins, Sontar Huh? But no, well for me I'd be all for the Reagan years cold war battle, simply because it would feature great weapon systems that were never trialed in real life on a large scale The Leopard 1's, oh and the mystical T-80 protos. Its way before counter measures and since I was big fan of SSI's Mech brigade which followed Kampfgruppe, so yeah bring it I say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 What I would like to see, but realize most of my wishes are unlikely, at least in the near future, in the order of preference: 1. North Africa 1940-43. 2. France & the Low Countries 1940. 3. Arab-Israeli wars 1948-73. 4. Barbarossa. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't much happening in '42 except guerilla and anti-guerilla actions and even those were pretty sparse. But aside from that, 1941 might be a reasonably good choice except that the fighting might be pretty lop sided. The Germans and their allies ran through Yugoslavia and Greece like a dose of salts.

Erwin Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The first part of the invasion of Greece by Italy was not one-sided. Well, the Italians mostly got their butts kicked - also in early NA actions of course. Then there are the paradrops on Crete that were a close run thing. Surely there was some opposition by the Brits and Greeks on the mainland as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael yet, nazis launched few offensives on partisans fall '41 80k v 20k first major counter-insurgency operation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Uzice winter '43 90k v 20k a combined Axis strategic offensive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_White summer '43 130k vs 20k a joint attack by the Axis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Black spring '44 20k vs 17k a combined airborne and ground assault https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rösselsprung_(1944) These are just few examples, however I don't claim it should be in CM (although I'd love it and it would be deserved), since I don't think people are really interested in these parts of the world. Anyway, combined with Greece theatre it would be awesome as you'd have everything from SS Divisions, Wehrmacht, Italians, Bulgarians, Greek and Yugo partisans and various other local nazi supporters. Reall interesting mesh of troops and terrain and equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
