Usually we have to do one more build, which chews up a whole day at a minimum. But everybody was happy with the one we submitted, so away it went.

John Kettler Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks to BFCElvis, was able to sort out PW issue and pre-order CMCW, with the DVD. Was wondering why it cost so much money ($10) to ship a single DVD in its case? Regardless, am posting link to product page on FB and tagging some friends who might be interested.

mjkerner Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I figured you in particular would have a fun weekend with F&R, Ara. Glad it’s even better with no distractions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given you have longed for this sooooo long, it would be interesting to hear which part of the module that was most rewarding for you. That was most worth the wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not fools, we are the only sane ones. Challenging our ageing brains with complex strategy games is an excellent way to keep them in shape. And that is a proven fact. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was most worth the wait. So much to chose from! But if I have to chose it's the possibility to fight in autumn and winter conditions with infantry and Volksgrenadiers in East Prussia. I'm planning on making a series of battles on the actions in and around towns like Goldap, Schirwindt and Gumbinnen with the 1st and 50th infantry division. Work has already started.

Probus Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Haven't checked yet. Do we already have F&R mods sitting out there awaiting download? I mean, it's already been almost 24 hours since release! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus544 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Just got finished playing FR Block Buster. Threw my Soviets into the city against a bunch of Volks. Lost all three tanks but came out with a total victory. Street fighting is some butal stuff. Yeah I'm still a kid somewhat at 60 years of age. But I think rocketman is right keeps my mind working these tactical issues. It's not pong or some brainless BS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry wrong threat) I mean CMRT FR of course So far the only mod I've seen any problem from is Aris Panther pack. It works fine in summer, spring and fall, but it tries to put a summer camo turret on whitewashed winter hulls. Other than that all my CMRT mods and the various other cross game mods (flame and smoke mods etc) are working just fine, and I have a LOT of mods installed. Of course nothing that is new with FR is modded at all. Edited April 24, 2021 by Splinty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, apart from the briefing. I love a good briefing, with as much details as possible, although it also should be readable and not too long. I also will finish the scenario I've talked about some time ago. The AI plans will be kept simple and it will only be playable as Germans. The Russians are mainly dug in, so I only need to make some simple AI plans for some Russian tank platoons. That should be doable.

That's a generous offer I can't refuse. Thank you! As soon as I have adjusted my scenario I would highly appreciate it if you would be willing to take a look and advice me on some AI plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I become concerned whenever I seen an over-enthused newbie announce their first scenario is going to be a historically accurate downtown Antwerp map, or something similar. Because I know they're going to burn out and never build another scenario. When starting out making scenarios start out small and simple and just for fun. Don't start out ambitious. Build yourself a couple playtime mini scenarios just to see the AI move the troops around the map, then work up from there. I'm especially concerned about Cold War. Green players will be attempting 3x5km maps first thing and its not gonna be pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
