BFCElvis Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 We're very excited to present the Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg module : Downfall. Check out it's webpages for all of the details about this huge module. Downfall As with other releases the content for Downfall is in a patch. Which means the v2.10 patch is also released. Use the Activate New Prodeucts utility and enter your Downfall license key to "unlock" it's content. In addition to the Downfall module, the patch introduces Slitherine's PBEM++ and Tournament features to Final Blitzkrieg. We really think everyone is going to love this new addition to the Combat Mission stable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Many thanks to the team - it looks great. First PBEM is under way. Not a biggie but there's a slight issue with the description and save name for Pershing vs Tiger (they look like they were retained from Comet vs Panther), @Ultradave has reported it. The new assets look very nice. Edited January 25 by Vacillator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffelmann Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 My Volksturm (may 1945, look military) have no texture for their caps. Anyone else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffelmann Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 And is it intentional, that the Germans lost their options when it came to uniform variants in 1945? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffelmann Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 And it's a bit of a shame that the german M44 uniforms that are in the brz files don't appear anywhere... or I haven't discovered them yet!?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 My Volksturm (may 1945, look military) looks okay, though everyone is wearing helmets besides the company and battalion HQ. When I switch to 'standard' appearance there are lots more hats but they're all mapping properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the other two points? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sttp Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just took a quick look through all the maps / scenarios / extracted campaign missions, and all I can say is... really nice job with the Downfall module. Those missions involving the bridge at Remagen look especially juicy. (And well done re: the bridge model.) Plus, with many scenarios, there are panzerfausts nearly everywhere. Should be absolute madness. Love it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be absolute madness. Love it! Playtesting the campaigns, I had to be continually re-educated on the fact that, even if the Volkssturm are low-quality forces, those Panzerfausts are to be respected. More than once I was shocked as a coordinated volley of four Panzerfausts came flying at a tank or a squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I'm no uniform guy (though my boss believes otherwise ). For unused German (and other) uniforms in the BRZs my guess might be that summer uniforms don't get much use in a fall-winter-spring title. I do have a vague recollection of a discussion on this topic back in CMRT module day of Steve nixing the plan for German M44 uniform because it wasn't battle dress. Again, not a uniform guy working off unreliable distant memory. Edited January 25 by MikeyD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I said, it's a bit of a shame about the options for the Wehrmacht and SS since they are already in the game and would normally appear in April and May (well at least they do in CMRT)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in the war the distances between the fronts are so short that I would think the western front would have the same mix of uniforms as the eastern front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpanic! Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi to any Mac users I am having problems activating my Downfall module as I keep getting an error when using the Activate New Products app. I have successfully patched my CMFB to v2.10 and I see all the scenarios but greyed out as I have not/cannot activate it. Any Mac users have the same problem. All my other CM games activate fine even my unpatched version 2.03. I am running OS 10.15.7 on an iMac 27" Any advice appreciated. I have lodged a ticket on the help desk and this s new one for them too Thanks Chee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurian52 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I've downloaded Downfall. And I see each of the campaigns have an "Easy" version, and a "Hard" version. I'm not interested in which will pose more or less of a challenge, only in which is more or less historically accurate. Would it be fair for me to guess that I will want to play the "Hard" version of the campaigns then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Frog Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) I have purchased the Final Blitzkrieg and Downfall Bundle, I activated my product on steam before the game released but It does not show that I have Downfall purchased on steam. Does anyone have any advice? I only have one activation key and that is for 'CMFB + Downfall Bundle' but steam is telling me I do not own Downfall. Edit: All sorted, I just need to activate the product code again on the Slitherine website Edited January 26 by Captain_Frog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontpanic! Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi Dave, I have tried that method and it still does not run. I still get the error message below. /Applications/CM\ Final\ Blitzkrieg/Activate\ New\ Products\ -\ CMFB.command ; exit; hiewlaifamily@192-168-1-118 ~ % /Applications/CM\ Final\ Blitzkrieg/Activate\ New\ Products\ -\ CMFB.command ; exit; LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/CM Final Blitzkrieg/CM Final Blitzkrieg.app. [Process completed] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpanic! Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Thanks got the advice though. I had the same from Battlefront Support but still no success. The script runs okay with my non patched v2.03 and all the Activate New Products scripts run with my other CM titles. All with same permissions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not knowledgeable about Mac script syntax but at first I was thinking those alternating slashes can't be intentional; but then it seems they preclude every space so guess it is. good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) So I gota ask, is this the final end module for Blitzkrieg? Edited January 26 by user1000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffelmann Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 @MikeyD I think I have a real bug now! US Parastrooper Glider Infantry: they don' change their apprearance when you change the uniform options (winter months, nov., dez. jan...winter or greatcoat). Can you please verifiy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
