I liked the demo for CMFI better than CMBN one but, would like an expanded TOE (American TD's & Armor cars). Does anyone know what the planed release schedule is, very confused by their future plans for these games?
CMBN - with the Brit add-on is a better value at $65 USD but, then there's the required upgrade ($10-$15?) for any additional add-ons like Market Garden ($35 USD).
CMFI - $55 USD and there's been talk of a Brit add-on, what else is planned for this game, can't find anything official on their web site.
Any idea what's coming next or will they still be releasing add-on's and even more required upgrades ($$$) for CMBN & CMFI, after they release their Eastfront and ShockForce 2 games next year?
Well - full disclosure here - I am a zealot when it comes to combat mission - all of the games are well worth the price but that is just my opinion.
to be honest - CMFI came as a total surprise for most people so anything with regard to a release schedule is pure heresay...even when it comes from official sources.
As far as I know - CMFI will extend via 2 new modules to encompass the whole theatre - not just sicily. So iguess that will mean commonwealth forces etc at some stage.
Not certain whats next and I think thats just a guess ... but as I always understood it Market garden was next in the "Normandy Family" and then a further module to tie up loose ends (esoteric vehicles etc.)
Bulge is a separate family and will take things to the end of the war.
The Ukraine modern game and the bagration family on the eastern front were supposedly slated for release in the next year though given battlefronts estimates that a pig poke - but they seemed fairly confident the engine was in such a state now they can be more confident of meeting their targets.
Not forgetting the upgrades to the existing modules all in all it looks very bright for combat mission gaming - cant wait for anything they do personally
I was chatting with Battlefront yesterday and didn't get any hints. I know stuff is in the works, but that's it.
Have they given any dates for the update patch for the core CMBN that will bring it up to the same interface etc as CMFI?
Thanks

Sorry, I didn't get any specifics out of the conversation. But I will follow up soon. Rest assured, they'll eventually crack ;)
Thats too bad I was playing the German campaign for the Falaise Pocket and I sort of put it away while waiting for the patch. I would prefer when playing the Germans especially to have the target armor and fire for short time commands enabled.

Just had to comment on your username......Sgt Rock was my all time favorite comic book growing up...great stuff.
Will CMFI be the one to bring in the Africa Settentrionale, the DAK, and the Eighth Army? I'm jonesing for Semoventes, 88s in their glory, and fierce ANZACs.
