That was an excellent review. Really got a feel for the game. Thanks.
Thanks Airboy. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun with the game.
Great review Boggit. I'll confess to being a little scared of CMFB because I do so poorly in the rest games I'm afraid this game will just laugh at me. Like this.... :2funny:
Or like the vomit smiley so popular last month... ;)
Boggit (or maybe Brant?): do a quick search on your article for "First Blitz" -- I saw one place you accidentally typed that instead of "Final". Which I shall count as wishful thinking, because why not? WHY WON'T THEY DO A FIRST BLITZ GAME, WAAAHHHHYYYYYY?! {sniffle}
Oh well. We still have Afrika Korps and our mods. O:-)
Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.
@Jason :)
I wouldn't be surprised if there was the subconscious wish to see an early war combat mission manifest in a typo to that effect. Like you, I'd love an early war combat mission - and the CMBN vehicle pack already has some of the French tanks that would be used.
Not perfect cf a First Blitzkrieg, but IIRC there is a scenario on the Few Good Men dealing with an action at a Belgian canal in 1940. British Guards IIRC vs Germans. It might go some way as a fix for you. :) If you can't find it, email me... I have it backed up somewhere.
@Sir Slash :)
The combat mission games take a fair bit of patience to get a good result. I typically play on élite now, but it's all about recon, then setting up a good base of fire, then flanking if possible. One common mistake is bunching too many guys in one area, getting stuck in open ground...
This is the first of a great 101 series that I found very helpful. I hope it helps your game. :)

JP thanks - fixed. Totally missed it during editing
Thanks Boggit. I'll take a look at those videos.
