sandman2575 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 You're amazing, Dragonwynn. I recently got through the first mission of your "Thunder over Ponyri" campaign for Red Thunder. Epic engagement! Looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks very much for all your hard work and dedication. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, this is going to be ugly, I hope I get any sort of victory with less casualties than JonS...that sounds like quite the butcher's bill for a total victory. On the other hand, I've never had warships to call on for fire support...very, very cool. 1Well I hope it goes well grunt_GI. The liberation of France is depending on you lol. Lol thanks Sandman. I hope you enjoy the campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Ah, too bad it requires the Market Garden module. I only have the Commonwealth Forces. Looks very interesting and ambitious though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaeger Jonzo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 first battle, on the beaches is fantastic. Been wondering how tough/good a D-Day invasion scenario would play out since CMBN arrived. I have visited this very beach and walked down to the waterline to head back up the beach to get the same visual perspective as those gallant guys would have got, very poignant. Really look forward to battling through the rest of the battles, once my beachhead is secure ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 A year and a half later, and I've finally upgraded to v.4. And this campaign is my first port of call. "Gold Beach" was a great mission, bunkers to bust, walls and buildings to knock down aplenty. I loved it. Although the Germans did throw in the towel before I could destroy the church. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 But, I've just taken a kicking on "The Ridge" so the campaign terminated early as a "Draw". Ho hum. I'll take another crack at it sometime in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaeger Jonzo Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 the more recent patches to cmbn seem to have borked this campaign somewhat. It affects the infantry the worst. If they come under fire behind a hedge or in cover they move to the forward exposed side and get massacred ! Likewise if they get panicked they run towards the guns instead of away. I'm 3 or so battles in so really don't want to start again especially as Round 1 was huge and took me ages to get through. Im struggling to progress as my infantry casualties keep going up without fault of my own! Is there a known fix for correcting these older campaigns to suit the V4 patches? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Btw... just downloading the campaign. Think i´ll make it my first play on my new Win10 machine. My old WinXP and hardware couldn´t handle any the mod loaded big stuff unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaeger Jonzo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 @RockinHarry, thanks for that information, very useful, will give the pause a try and report back. A little poor of BFC to not have offered a remedy almost a year later when several have reported it. The other bug issue I am having is some squads plain disappear from the battlefield ! The unit is presented as you scroll through but half a squad stays insitu and other half vanishes or appears at the movement objective. Nothing seems to fix it once this has happened. I tried individual movement orders, company moves etc. you lose the whole platoon from your order of battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a save available where the men disappear? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have this and all other Michael´s CMBN/CMFB campaigns (Poppies, Clipper and Fields of Tears) installed now, mods incl. Same for Worghern´s Blitzkrieg mod. I´m mightily impressed I can say for sure. Have launched them all, just to see what he´d achieved. Wow! Now I´ve to decide which of these I´ll start in all seriousness. Surely takes some time, before I can give any detailed feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
