DaveyJJ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 You got that right! Did I miss the pre-order page for the first module? I'm ready to buy that too, right now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpie_Oz Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'm pretty sure the sheep could out run them. Herds of disabled sheep ssshh don't you know it failed because of the british and nothing else True enough I have been told on numerous occasions it was because "Monty was like a douche, end of". Think I would remember, must be getting old. Just because something has been introduced in one module doesn't mean it can't be repeated in a subsequent one. My only concern there would be the value for money perception if the MG module costs the same as the CW module and really just contains a compendium of the modules that have gone before with a few new bits I would feel a bit ripped off I think. For my money I would think the best configuration would be to leave the FJ out of the CW model and make MG a kind of Airborne module. So the new units in the game would be the UK/Pole Abn , US Abn and FJ. To make the module complete you can add in a repeat of the SS. If you want to be able to game with XXX Corps then you need to buy the CW module, if you don't then you won't. Kinda fits in a bit in that if you just want to do just the US stuff for example you can buy the base module and add MG and you could then do all situations in the US NWE campaign from D-Day to VE-Day. We Commonwealtheans need all 3 but that is OK because our dollar is worth more than yours now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree but I think it would be bad marketing that if I wanted to get the whole series I find that some modules contain a whole stack of new things, 21AG, SS, FJ, Scenarios, Campaigns and terrain and other contains everything I already have with different terrain and scenarios. To put it another way, the choices are : I'll sell you 2 eggs and a piece of toast for $10 or 2 eggs and a glass of OJ for $10. If you want 2 eggs, a piece of toast and some OJ then you are up for $20 and you'll have 4 eggs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Magpie, you are forgetting that the Market-Garden module will advance the timeline, this means potential new TO&E and equipment for every branch in the base game and module, on top of the new terrain set and, undoubtedly, an incredible set of well-crafted scenarios and campaigns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie_Oz Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Advance the timeline? I am guessing that the base and Commonwealth modules cover the fighting in Normandy which is June to August 1944, Market Garden was September 1944 1 month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm awa there were no significant changes to US or Brit force structure between Aug and Sep except the possibility of a very few mi or vehicle changes. Certainly nothing major or significant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that the base and Commonwealth modules cover the fighting in Normandy which is June to August 1944, Market Garden was September 1944 1 month. I believe it runs to the end of November. That might include the addition of the Free French, changes to the US TO&E, and the Germans as well as new equipment and organizations are added and older ones dropped.

sawomi Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I believe it runs to the end of November. Would be nice when Battlefront decides to include the Battle of the Scheldt Estuary in the 'Market Garden'-Module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Can't see how a module themed on Market Garden would include the French who were well to the south but were there really any major changes in the Allied forces up to November? Would be nice when Battlefront decides to include the Battle of the Scheldt Estuary in the 'Market Garden'-Module. The Scheldt Estuary will require the Royal Marines, Canadians and the US so you'd be looking at the Commonwealth and base modules for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hope this hasn't already been asnwered, but will the Brits be able to fire their PIATS from within buildings? Obviously, i have OMG in mind when i ask this. Yes, yes i know the axis cannot fire their hand held AT weps from within buildings and this also applies to the US bazooka. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a scene in the Spanish AAR showing a rifle grenade being fired from within a house. If the PIAT were modeled similarly it would seem feasible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely BF can get back on track with the original module concept of 6 months? If not, then at the historical rate of modules we may never see a full Eastern Front game in our lifetime? Whatever happened to a Year a Game and Module every 6 months???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Well that was before they spent 80% of their time in here answering variations on “are we there yet?” (when will it come out, when will the demo come out, will feature X be in the next module even though the first one isn’t out yet?, ... etc. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
