dan/california Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Every German vet I ever met suspiciously claimed to only have fought on the Russian Front. Maybe they'd comment on red stars as an aim point![ I think it is a safe assumption that in the former East Germany the number of vets who were at Arnhem, the Bulge, or defending Italy was suspiciously high. Statistically speaking of course far more German troops served on the Eastern front. It was the primary operational area of the war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyPete2171 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I wish I remembered the source, but I've read that 75% of Germany's war casualties were from the Eastern front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyPete2171 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Oh- I don't know about that... you can always ring up Otto Carius at his Tiger Apotheke in Herschweiler-Pettersheim if he has a spare moment or two from filling prescriptions! Or maybe a polite letter by post? Rumor has it he still has a very sharp mind for detail. p.s. note the historical section Thats him! Thats really him! How did you find out about him? Very interesting... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Interviewing vets for specific information like if Shermans were more likely to burn than other tanks is not useful. All you'll get, at best, is an anecdotal account which means very little in the face of the tons of anecdotal accounts we already have Individual soldier's recollections only matter when you are asking questions specific to their personal experience. Which means, the only person to put this sort of question to is someone who was tasked with answering the same question for a high level inquiry. And finding such a person is not very likely.

Petrus58 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Maybe not the same source, but John Erickson, in The Road to Berlin, gives a figure of 10,000,000 German killed, wounded, or missing on the Eastern front out of a grand total of 13,600,000 for the entire war, which is about 74%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cid250 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Note that with Afghanistan done and NATO nearly so... Normandy will get it's time in the spotlight soon! Steve Well... i always requested a long development cycle... because i know that the longer that it takes, the more features that will be included... and CMBB was a huge game with a lot of features. I was one of those customers more happy with a 2011 release than with a 2010 release. But since you said that the final engine features were all included in CM:Noname... and Nato & Afganistan doesn't need to keep the focus anymore... It's time to show what we can expect as customers for a good WWII wargame. No need to keep your cards close to your chest anymore, since when you do a feature freeze, the people that will buy it, will do it... the people that don't, will not. A feature list, is much better than any pic for a serious wargamer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Wargamer Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Maybe they are keeping their cards close as they are working major overtime!!! Can always hope. Hey no Black friday for the BFC gang. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volltreffer Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 To some extent I dont blame Battlefront for keeping their cards close to their chest.... Every time they release info or a bone its like seagulls pouncing on a piece of bread in here By all means, release close to Christmas and ill be a happy chappy over my break from work.:cool: Maybe they are keeping their cards close as they are working major overtime!!!

MeatEtr Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 My crystal ball says, expect them to kick open the doors to CMN around x-mas time. With big bones in the new forum along with perhaps just maybe a release date set for the first quarter of 2011.

Migo441 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 That seems reasonable. Although we cannot know when it will be released, we can reasonably guess when it won't be released. As MeatEtr suggests, CM:N will probably have its own forum and some specific pre-release publicity for a period before its release. So any 2010 release seems extraordinarily unlikely, but I dare to dream about 2011 Q1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My fingers are crossed) This would be good i guess , was kind of hoping for a Christmas release but suspect this is not possible now with no website and pre-order mechanism. 2011 it is then ... thankfully got Football Manager 2011 to keep me busy til' CM:N release .... a different type of strategy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
