wesweber Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Any BattleFront plans to simulate the beginning of WW2 1939-1940? If not are there any mods/senarios that simulate 1939-1940 in any of the Combat Mission games? Edited August 31, 2017 by wesweber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There have been no plans announced, and unless BFC does a compete turn around on their schedule, I wouldn't expect to see coverage of that period for many years. A pity; there have been many calls for such a game, although I am not sure that there would be a large enough number of sales to return the investment. As for mods, I fear that a mere mod would not come even close. The equipment and its performance had evolved so much in the four year gap that it just wouldn't work. Somua S35 vs. PzKw III is not the same as Sherman vs. Panther. Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bil Hardenberger Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 An early war CM (especially France 1940) is a dream for many of us... I personally find it much more interesting than the late war that always gets the love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that at the present time though there aren't many of us in the wargaming community. I would love to see proof that I am wrong about that.

So, that might be a start to design early war tank action scenarios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just checked it. Yes, there is a R35 and a Char B (flamethrower) in the vehicle pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still nowhere near enough to make a convincing Scenario. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The flamethrower Char B1bis is strictly German. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael I was thinking along the lines of a "Dunkirk" scenario. British infantry defending in the outskirts against German infantry with some PzII and a few R35 come to rescue. May be playable, but you are right: There's not much meat on it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
