CMFI Gustav Line

[Longdan]

Just wondering.  I know the Germans liked to make assault guns because turrets were expensive and carriages and guns less so.

CMFI Gustav Line?

1. I see US Tank Destroyer Battalions listed but, still no US tank destroyers?

from someone who knows better than i:-

Tank Destroyer Battalion (towed) --- Oct 43 - End. There was exactly one towed AT battalion in Italy, it was completely armed with the M5 76.2mm antitank gun. It was not successful and in June was refitted into a M18 GMC battalion.

I didn't realize those pill-box Panther turrets were so widely used. Interesting that they were supplied with electricity for lights, but only had hand crank traverse.

Outstanding ! THX for the link  :)  ...how über-cool those turrets were in detail 8)

I can't help but wonder what they have in store for the 4th module for CMBN.
If dynamic weather and snow is now in for CMFI then I would presume these features will make their way to CMBN too; let loose those Winter '44 - '45 scenarios!

theres OMG, and then the 'weird bits that dont really fit anywhere'

word is out that once Gustav is out of the door its full steam for bagration and shock force 2 which are already underway but not at the front of the queue

Confirmed

I wish BattleFront would release the expansion plans for CMBN & CMFI. I'm not asking when, just what! I know Market Garden is next for CMBN, then what? Will they take CMFI beyond the surrender of Italy into 1945?

You mean after the Fall of Rome?

[Staggerwing]

Or maybe up to that oft pondered moment when the first Pershing and IS-2 meet on opposite sides of the Oder River and start bouncing shot off of each other's glacis plates.

[Keunert]

the fall of Rome was way earlier, i know that, i am the history buff.

[Longdan]

Rome fell on June 4th 1944.  The Italians surrendered in the previous year.  The Germans did not go home until somewhat later.
