Broadsword56 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well, since we're dreaming... Combat Mission: American Civil War Rationale: The Scourge of War franchise is a decade old and showing its age, and getting mixed reviews for its foray into Napoleonics with SoW: Waterloo. It uses sprites, and it has none of the map-creation tools that CM has. And yet Scourge of War is still the only ACW computer sim that even attempts to be a realistic tactical wargame the way CM does for WWII and modern conflicts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Spread the love I say. Been messing around with a couple of CM:BS maps, nominally entitled 'Trumpton' & 'Chigley'.....You can actually make 'em look fairly 'western' with a bit of effort in the editor.

db_zero Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I've replied to threads like this in the past so I know I won't get what I'd like to see so I'll just have to settle for what I get. Looks like a later 1944+ Italy and 1944-1945 Eastern Front is what I have to look forward to and a Black Sea Module. Hopefully a 1941-1943 Eastern Front game is somewhere in the queue and Africa module too, but it sounds like BF isn't into it or its far, far down the road. Fulda Gap and the Cold War....I used to play all sorts of SPI, GDW (Assault, Boots and Saddle) and the NATO and other board games that covered this period. I really wish I kept the games. The Next War.They are worth some coin-Especially the monster ones that covered WW2 like War in the Pacific, Campaign for North Africa, Atlantic Wall, Highway to the Reich. Some of the more esoteric titles Like Art of Siege are very collectable -especially if in new or unused condition. To think I had them all...sigh For all my past interest in the period I'm not very interested in the period anymore myself, but that's just me-I can see what there would be an interest in the period. Reagan, Star Wars-SDI, not the movie, the basing of Pershing and cruise missiles in Western Europe, brings back a lot of memories. It was also a period when the military was viewed much differently. I guess if BF wants to be corporate and focus on turning a profit at any cost they can do a Zombie Apocalypse or Game of Thornes game. I wouldn't buy either, but I'm sure there would be a huge audience for it as would a Star Wars themed game, licensing issues aside.

If BFC incorporated blood splatter, it could be used as a vector for spreading Zombie Infection into your own units. Imagine as your men turn! Yeah, BFC Zombie Wars: I'm all in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Here's a useful tank comparison for those wishing CM:FG. Found it on bmashina.tumblr.com, but the ultimate source has to be US Army. If you want to see real T-54s, see the Spielberg's very good "Bridge of Spies" starring Tom Hanks. Broadsword56, Full marks for using an "F Troop" character as your avatar. Bet most here missed the nature of your avatar altogether. Fortunately, it's only the keyframe for the trailer which is is so horrendously awful! Also, I've never forgotten I owe you a CMBN fight. How happy I would be to be able to make good on that delightful commitment, for it would mean my brain had gotten markedly better.

J Bennett Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 As much as I would like to see North Africa, the Blitzkrieg, Russo-Finnish war, Pacific war coverage; and after much travail of soul, instead of expanding to more theaters and time frames, I hope BF instead focuses on making better and improved versions of the game 5.0 CMx3 Cmx4 etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Bring on CM:SF II, (BFC please include the CM:A units) and please, please add uncons to all the CM titles, they are appropriate for all of them and would really add variety to the scenarios we can create. With all the content on Engine 4, iron out the remaining bugs and give us just a few more AI options.....That'd be me made up, that would.

My impression (note!) is that there is actually some kind of multi-stage master plan. For instance, all the work done on the Italians means we will likely see them in North Africa (and probably in Russia too). It's simply too much effort and money to not reuse. So the late-war stuff comes first, likely followed (again, guessing) by mid-war at some point. Early war may never happen, There's also the fact that some modules, notably Stalingrad, require a lot of new terrain objects and possibly features so it kind of makes sense to do them later as the engine evolves. As for the modern line, I feel much less qualified to even guess at the master plan (if there even is one) but European or Asian (Korea gone hot?) scenarios seem like the logical odds-on favourites.

Xorg_Xalargsky Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The Combat Mission game I'd like to see? CMx3 - a single executable, a single codebase, but all nations/theatres/time periods are modular and purchased in packs. I think that would spare a lot of trouble since in CMx2 all the games share a vast amount of code, but are maintained separately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
