I don't think there will be a third with the time left. CAmpaigns take LOTS of time.. If I were a betting person, I would bet there will be more stand alone missions than Rome to Victory (which had 15) . And probably by a pretty fair margin. 20 wouldn't surprise me but that isn't meant as a promise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you've got me around to refresh your memory. You have "distinctly" remembered a number of things wrongly over the years, so I'll not be taking your word for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no plan to devote more than a passing minute or 2 to poke around the old forum posts and that's about all the time it took. Skimmed though the 1st page and a 1/4 of the second before I found a "no good guys" post in page 1, thread 3 of the archives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) I would be quite surprised if we see Fire and Rubble before fall 2020. I wouldn't even mind so much, as long as we get some bones from time to time. But hoping for a miracle of course.

Bud Backer Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Heh. With a bit of searching the archives I can even see @MikeyD participating in those discussions so long ago.

I didn't spend anytime sifting through the thread or the old forum for the rage posts. I barely skimmed the first page of that thread. Anything more than that would have been a massive waste of time for no real purpose. The post you quoted of @MikeyD didn't say anything about rage. It mentioned people not being interested since they didn't see any good guys. A few second scroll found one right away. I probably spent more time writing my reply and clicking copy/paste than I did researching it. And I definitely remember that the overall reaction was positive. But I also remember that as MikeyD said: Quote I recall when CMBB came out some CMBO loyalists were enraged. there were some that weren't even a little happy. And as far as "some beta testers overblow the response to certain things." MikeyD wasn't a beta tester for CMBB and not even a forum member until 5 years after it's release.......Unless he had a different handle back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is "some"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewood1 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 And I think the thread helps make my main point that "certain" beta testers continue exaggerate the response of a very small number of people to make their points. Never thinking that someone might actually check it. MickeyD in particular. He has a lot of memories that seem to get embellished over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) So about the forthcoming CM:BS Module.....What can you tell us? How soon? New vehicles (earlier T-72s would be a godsend)?

It's in the earliest stages and it is't time to shoot out TO&E things until they're settled on (heck we just added 2 things to Fire and Rubble the other day). I would expect (hope) to see that module before the end of the year. (ps....thanks) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have no issue with the conversation wasting time. I see you don't think so since you are still engaged. Outraged? That is the easiest one of them all. I can say with 100% certainty, and without even going back to the 2002 forums, that there were some people who were outraged when CMBB came out. That is like saying water is wet. I don't mean this as a dig at the war gaming community (not limited to these forums but the community at large) because it is my community too and I am just as guilty as anyone. If there is one thing that you can count on....set your watch to...bet the dog and ranch on....it is that someone will be outraged by something when it comes to war games. And that is one of the things that makes the war gaming community so great. The outrage will teach the non-outraged something or highlight to them that being outraged over whatever the issue is is wrong. Or the outrage will prompt a developer to take another look at what they've developed and perhaps make adjustments based on or solidify their decision ......The list of possible positives for the outrage of war gamers is long but the one thing that you can always always always always count on.......there is always outrage over something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougPhresh Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) @BFCElvis Strictly hypothetically, since Polish voice files exist in BN and FI, what would the devs need to do to add the LWP as a third Allied side? OOB Research? TOE Research? Uniform and Vehicle illustrations? You know... seeing as you're still tweaking Fire and Rubble. Now if I were to really get carried away, I'd suggest that if the FB module brings Commonwealth forces through the end of the war, 1st Czech Armoured Brigade could be added. With the Czech voices files from that, should a future RT module bring in the fighting in Central and Southern Europe, the voices for 1st Czech Army Corps would already be in the game. Of course I know people would rather see the Bulgarians, Romanians, Finns and Hungarians but a man can dream!

OOB Research? TOE Research? Uniform and Vehicle illustrations? When the pre-orders open the complete TO&E will be posted with it. That's usually the point where it is chiseled in stone...even if it hasn't been completed yet. Until then I ain't gonna be the one to confirm or rule out anything. I've been involved in beta testing here for 14 years and have seen things added and pulled from releases for various reasons. So, it's a bad idea (at least from me..... Steve can do what he wants ) to comment too directly. What I will say if this throws a hint in any direction, we are 100% looking to avoid the rabbit hole we went down with Rome to Victory. That was a TO&E bear. I hope everyone is digging the results as much as I am. And yes, what you've mentioned above are a part of it but it isn't just the research of those formations. They would then have to be created, have models made etc....actually building them into the game with the information gathered. Quote You know... seeing as you're still tweaking Fire and Rubble.
