StieliAlpha Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I am sure you know the brilliant GMT board game about the topic. Unless I am mistaken, the only game covering this war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 tagge, That was CMBB, which was absolutely staggering in forces included and time span covered. Regards, John Kettler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I forgot about CMBB. Yes that was an amazing game given its scope of the entirety of the East Front - that's why it was called "CM: Barbarossa (to) Berlin". There were even mods to play the invasion of Poland, and I recall many Finnish mods as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Erwin, Believe the Finns were in from the get. Pretty sure there was a huge demand that this be so (not least by OUR Finns) but far less interest in the Hungarians and Romanians. Do recall researching the last two was a bit of a pain.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 CM:BB didn't actually cover the 1939 Winter War, it started with the 1941 Continuation War (however it wasn't hard to model the earlier battles as most of the required units were present). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Sgt.Squarehead said: most of the required units were present Ditto for 1939 Invasion of Poland. There were mods for that (as well as mods for Op SeaLion.) Of course in CM1 one had to remove all the original BMP's, save them someplace and then add in the mod BMP's to play. After finishing, one had to replace all the new mods with the original BMP files to play as usual again. It was great to play early war as it was a much more forgiving/less lethal game since it was rarely "one shot one kill".
