Vacillator Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Matrix / Slitherine are the publishers, BFC the developers? It's announced on Steam as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the information on the Matrix Info tab could use a little clarification. It most likely means that if you bought the aforementioned DLCs on Steam then you'll need to purchase BP2 on Steam as well. Conversely, if you've purchased everything from BF's store front you'll need to order BP2 from BF directly.

I'm not sure why it says 'from Steam'. It does not have to be from Steam, unless your CMBN base game is on Steam as @OldSarge just said. To be honest I'm struggling to think why you need BP1 to play BP2 anyway... I checked Steam and it says 'This content requires the base game Combat Mission Battle for Normandy on Steam in order to play.' No mention of BP1 there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey!! dont worry about this, the usual games and addond are from BFC itself, so is only a bad transcription of infos, but is important sometimes to mention it ... https://www.matrixgames.com/game/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy-battle-pack-2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me savvy! I don't know how communications/marketing are handled on the Matrix/Slitherine side, I would think (or hope) that at least they'd ask for BF's approval before publishing content online - or at the very least have a proof reader knowledgeable on the subject glance at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's an error. @BFCElvis - FYI. Matrix website needs to be tweaked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 How can a scenario pack have a dependency on another scenario pack, anyway? It's not that it can use parts of the previous one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know I'm not a pro in moding campaign scenario creations, I'm saying my point of view simply. I'm not aware of any such dependency possibilities. I think it is unlikely that campaings cross scenario packs and even if they did the new one would have the complete thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a mistake on their part. I've contacted them and expect it to be corrected. They are Monday through Friday workers.

Quote Nice ang good but, if BfC is the developers why the anounce dont appear on the BFC webpage ? We announce things on a different schedule than they do. All of the screenshots and information about the Pack were supplied by us and we knew exactly when the announcement on their site was going to be, just as we know that on the 16th they will be releasing sumfink kinda neat that @Ithikial_AU made, giving even more detail about the Pack. Sometimes we line up things to match what they're doing but not always. Traditionally we make announcments, on our website, when sumfink is released or pre-orders are open. What they did here was announce the existence of the Pack. We did that a long time ago. We've even had a pinned thread about it on our forums since a year ago February. As you read in their announcement, the plan is to release the Pack on June 6th. We've never released anything to line up with a historical event but we decided to make an exception with this. The D-Day feel of this Pack is palpable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
