DanSpillard Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 I'm sure this has been asked before. Is there any plan to expand this game into other fronts? I wonder if an OB update would be needed for the Italian front. I'd expect the Russian front to be very popular. Sure would be willing to beta and buy that product.

Guest Space Thing Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 CM2 is supposed to be about the Russian front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSpillard Posted January 17, 2001 Author Share Posted January 17, 2001 Great. When is it due to be available and when is it being beta tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 OK, let me weigh in here. BTS is planning to make at least 3 more sequels. Work on the second one is starting to begin as we speak. CM2: "Barbarossa & Beyond" (Eastern Front, 1941-1945) CM3: "The Med" (Mediterranean Theater, 1941-1943) North Africa, Italy, Greece/Crete CM4: "Blitzkrieg" (Early War, 1939-1940) Poland, France Note: BTS is not your ordinary software company. CMBO was made by just two guys. They have recently hired two new guys--from this board, matter of fact. They have also dilligently provided continued support to make this great game even better towards perfection. They have released SIX official patches, one before anybody had the game and the last one was Publically Beta Tested for 5 weeks via 4 Beta patches prior to its "official" release. Each of these new games will feature an improvement of the features and entirely new TO&E and nationalities. These will not just be add-ons, but some effort will be made to up-date older versions to the new versions standard as to keep them under the same engine build.

DanSpillard Posted January 18, 2001 Author Share Posted January 18, 2001 All Sound like solid ideas. When is the stuff due to be released? I'm happy to support home grown software companies, they have the best ideas anyway. Just wondering if they have a timetable they would like to share.

Clubfoot Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 It won't be up to snuff with official BTS alternate theaters releases, but the Afrikacorps conversion is coming soon (and at an outside guess, I'd say CM3 is probably at least a year and a half away). Take a peak at: http://www.combatmissions.co.uk or: http://w1.312.telia.com/~u31213280/index.htm and look for information pertaining to Desert Fox-Desert Rats. Clubfoot.
