Runyan99 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I don't really have any ideas yet, but I was wondering what types of projects other people were looking forward to tackling with CMC. What's the first campaign you plan to make? Or alternatively, what is the campaign you'd really like to play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PzKpfwIII Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I posed this question in the map thread but it wasn't answered. Currently looking at mapmaking for the Mcensk/Tula operations in October 1941 by elements of 3rd and 4th Panzer divisions. Soviet paratroopers, cavalry, tank vs. tank engagements - has a little bit of everything. As for what I want to see - Stalingrad naturally, though urban combat may be something more suited for CMX2 when it comes out. Would like to see several Campaigns with the same unit - I think end of campaign data will be stored and we will have the ability to retrieve it. Perhaps a unit like the Leibstandarte with a long history, and participation in differing campaigns - urban fighting at Kharkov, deliberate assault in Kursk, etc. I would also like to see the lesser-known units get some coverage - Italian, Romanian, and Finnish campaigns will be of interest. Also the actions of mountain troops in the Caucusus; fighting it out in mountainous terrain hasn't really been done; with the new operational map we should be able to get some good mountain fights in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the game site: CMC is limited to Ger/Russ only. A patch for the minors?

Aragorn2002 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The relief attempt towards Stalingrad in December 1942 by the 6th Panzer would be a perfect setting for a campaign. The Leibstandarte (especially Charkow, but no doubt George MC is already dreaming about it, aren't you, George?) would be great, GD, Wiking and many other elite units too, of course. Lately I'm more and more interested in the fighting in Poland and the Baltic in 1944, which also would be very interesting, but so much is possible that it is breathtaking. I remember the old Panzer Commander game, which also enabled some sort of campaign. The best gaming I've ever had till CM turned up. But I must stop talking about PzC, it makes me realize I'm getting old... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmoney Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I think unit specific campains would be great. Any unit either Rusky or German. Like the blowtorch seris tries to recreate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpwase Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'm going to mess around a bit, then completely ignore the Eastern Front (and WWII for that matter), and use it for my own embroiling fictional conflicts. >_> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well, I do happen to have this 10x12 sq.km Tali-Ihantala map in my Mapping Mission... even if the first release of the game doesn't have Finns, I'll start working on it as soon as I can lay my paws on the editor. I also have a 10x8 sq.km map of Vuosalmi, but I wonder how major river crossing operations would work. I'll be very much interested to see a Stalingrad campaign, as well as something like Bagration or Seelow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I wont be creating any campaigns but I hope to see some small Stalingrad engagements done, certainly the battle of Berlin will be high on my list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I would rather like a regiment-level campaign that replays some of the battles in the approach to St. Petersburg .. erm ... Leningrad. I believe that the terrain favors relatively small units and the logistics situation was not utterly hopeless for one side or the other as was true in many of the operations early in the war. That might be nice. Also, I would like to see some kind of a ladder campaign or perhaps a team-tournament format where teams of players play over the same terrain with - for instance - a regimental combat team with four to seven players per team. Played as either round robin .. sorry, single elimination or double elimination or points depending upon victory/defeat level for a final score for the teams. Also the formation of more or less permanent "Combat Teams" - read "clans" if you prefer that term - who would play as either Soviet or German forces as a team for a relatively long period of time, either in challenge campaigns or tournament campaigns of relatively short duration and small size. <shrug> Just ideas and idle thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I would love to see a cavalry campaign... Either winter of '41 in front of Moscow, or summer '43 in pursuit across the steppes... Although it's clear we'll never get to charge our cossacks mounted, with support from wagon-carried Maxims, at least CMC sounds like it will give Cavalry the Oper- ational mobility that makes it so useful... Some Soviet cavalry raids were massive in scale...main force units would open a hole in the Axis line, and a cav Division or sometimes Corps would pass through...to cause havoc behind the lines...they were equipped with lots of ATR's and some T-70 light tanks...as well as mortars, 45mm and 76mm guns...enough to deal with the reserve force that the axis commander would send after them... When the time came to escape, they would open a new hole in the Axis line and the cav would slip out again...some of these raids lasted over a 100 days...resupplied by air, living off the land and stealing Axis supplies... I think that could be fun to play... In fact I started designing it as an op But now....with CMC...hmmm... Maybe a campaign is the way to go... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'd love to see a collapse of AG centre campaign. What was it 30 odd out of 35 divisions lost? For the German player, could yours be one of the "lucky" handful to get out alive? For the Soviet player, the war machine rolls on, you'll get all that lovely breakthrough artillery!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I would love to see an early war project. Low tech weapons is where it is at. (Who needs Tigers and Panthers!!) H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Russian Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I want to do the battle for Minsk during Operation Bagration. Lot's of different troop types and terrain types. Big armor on both sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye-switcher Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Cherkasy pocket would be nice, either as the encircled Germans or the reliefforce or the as the Russians try to close the gap. Lot of interesting stuff, limited supply, some really wellknown units Wiking, Liedstandarte, Russian airborne,Guards, the lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
