Redjac Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Are there any plans to include falschirmjager and SS formations. Perhaps in the German campaign. Both high profile in Normandy from June to August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Are there any plans to include falschirmjager and SS formations. Perhaps in the German campaign. Both high profile in Normandy from June to August. Not in the first (recently announced) product. They will be in the upcoming module (along with Brits / Commonwealth forces - who bore the brunt of contact with the SS formations). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 We'll be making some more announcements about EXACTLY what's in the Commonwealth Module in terms of formations. We've already detailed the vehicles and some weapons. One thing I'll say now, in advance, is that Waffen SS and LW Field Divisions are the two major groupings of new German units available in Commonwealth Module (there are some new Heer units too). What about Fallschirmjäger? No. They were swapped out in favor of Luftwaffe Field Divisions for Commonwealth. Three reasons for this change: 1. LW Field Divisions saw extensive combat (short lived, true enough) against the Brits. The divisions effectively ceased to exist before the end of the Normandy campaign, which means these units don't have a logical place in the next Module (Arnhem). 2. FJ units played a prominent role in the defense of Holland as well as Normandy. Including them in the Arnhem Module, therefore, makes sense since anybody playing Arnhem also has (at least) the base game. With that combination you can play FJ from June 6 all the way through Market Garden. 3. The mass of new units in Commonwealth has been quite daunting to add in a reasonable timeframe. The FJ have a very unique organization and to do it justice we really need to do it when we're not overworked with the other stuff. LW Field Divisions were much easier to include because they are derived from Heer formations so they made the cut instead. I know some of you will be disappointed by this decision and how "late" in the development cycle it's coming. The timing is an indication of when we figured out we had too many things to do for Commonwealth and not enough time to do them all. Knowing what is in Commonwealth Module... we're not worried AT ALL about it "coming up short". Quite the contrary. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Oh, man I can hear the bitching already. Well, no biggie to me...It makes the wait for Market Garden that much more exciting, glass half full and all that. So, seeing that CMBN was released in July, are you guys closer to the release schedule you originally wanted back when CMX2 was planned out...you know, every six months or so? Or put it another way...is that plan shaping up now that you have been through the process so many times and garnered all that experience from CMSF?

Funny thing is I bought Lions of Carentan specifically to see if there was material for this module and there turns out to be far more info about 6th FJR in Holland. Go figure, it must be a conspiracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I still think the FJ should have been in the base game, (along with renault and hotchkiss light tanks, but I digress). Many of the iconic battles in the US sector had FJ as main resistance, and I doubt many will bother revisiting the US sector to make battles for them. Since they weren't in the base game I don't really mind if they are skipped again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well, one good way of looking at it is that hopefully by the time all four modules are complete we'll be looking at the same or more content than CMBO had for June to September. And I found that with every module that CMSF had added, made the older content seem fresh again. Hopefully others will feel that way.

Hessian deserter Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 This is a good example of BFC's attention to detail. They could have just put the FJ label on a Heer unit and been done with it. Instead they want to do it RIGHT...Major Kudos BFC. Those words "Arnhem module",have brought GOOOOOOse bumps on my arms this morning!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
