Here is What I Dont Understand about BF?

Sure, I can see the value in it for those who would want to use it.  However, it is not a substitute for a campaign system.  Since a campaign system is a mandatory component of any CM game, that has to come first.  Any import/export system would have to be a second feature separate from the first.  And that means creating and maintaining two systems, which we are reluctant to do.  Combat Mission can not be everything to everybody all the time, which means there will always be features not developed even though some % of our audience would appreciate them.

If we keep nagging, maybe you'll change your mind   I'm pretty sure I've seen that happen before...

Thanks for the response, I appreciate the consideration. I realize you guys have bigger fish to fry. Eagerly awaiting R2V patch

Tons of threads on this topic as well.  Especially back in 2007/2008 when CMSF was first released.  Few people played Operations and of those that did most complained, loudly, about its shortcomings (in particular frontline calculations).  This despite considerable effort at addressing the shortcomings.  We decided it was unproductive and counter to the interests of CM's customer base to try and fix the unfixable and not really improve customer use.

This is coming from the guy that designed Operations and thought they would be the best thing since sliced bread.  Sometimes we get things right, sometimes we get them wrong.  Good game developers know which is which and use that knowledge going forward.  We consider ourselves good game developers

Now, before someone says it... we aren't ever going to have a "sandbox" game where there is one and only one central Game Engine with DLC added too it.

You have wounded my very soul Steve.

Add me to that list. It was the most fun I ever had playing CMx1.

Most of the Operations were great fun. Although I seem to remember that there was one set around Oosterbeek, in the 1st battle the Germans were attacking from both the east and west. But when you fired up the 2nd battle the front line adjustment shoved them all over to one side of the map. Ho hum.

That was one of my favourites, a great challenge whether you played it as the Axis or the Allies.
