Scenario List?

[Prince of Eckmühl]

What aspect of the Normandy Campaign does the new game focus on?

The screenshots make it appear as though the USA has made if off the beaches and past the bocage.

So, where's the fighting going to take place?

[gibsonm]

Maybe that's just because no bocage screenshots were included.

Again they a trapped in a "cleft stick" if they publish a picture of WIP bocage that looks like crap people complain that it looks like crap.

If they don't people complain about "Where's the bocage?".

CM:BN without Beach and Bocage... nah it will be included

Not one of those screenies is showing bocage? What is the tall vegetation along the roads in some of the pics? Hedges?

Mord.

[Mord]

Isn't this bocage?

If Not, cool, there'll be even more plants and trees to make the environment look realistic.

I was something along the lines of this:

Mord.

Yes Mord. That is bocage. And not even the current looking bocage.

Here is one with the current look of it but from what I understand it is not the final version of it

A quick scan through and I saw bocage in a lot of pictures.

[Prince of Eckmühl]

Actually, that looks better than what I might have expected.

Nice work.

Hats off to the graphics guys!

It'll be interesting to see how units interact with the feature.

Well as I said "Maybe":

"Maybe that's just because no bocage screenshots were included."

As in I didn't know if there were bocage screenshots included or not (given the on going development of the bocage graphcs).

To be honest I haven't looked at the reams of screenshots and other stuff as I was busy, you know, testing the thing.

The initial game goes through August (a later module will push it though September) so just think of all the different battles that took place between June and August. It wasn't until after the Cobra breakout that Patton's tanks were finally unleashed upon the fleeing Germans! .

Cool. I like the look of both actually...so I would've been happy with either...Are there actual hedges, low and tall in the game as well?

Ahhh...I thought you were saying they hadn't shown any so it had me confused as to what that stuff was...I like the look regardless. The shots of the greyhound on the overgrown road look awesome.

Lets see if I can recall. Low and tall bocage, plus simple hedges, plus wood fence, plus rural stone, brick and block walls. And Culin hedgecutter-equipped Sherman makes a very satisfying "crunchy-crunch" sound when used.

It's like sugar plumbs dancing in my head except there's lots of death and explosions...

This sounds pretty similar to the last time sugar plums danced in my head . . .

This explains, why we will not see FJ and SS troups in the first game's release! Any chance to see Carentan scenario unfortunately!
