Just saw this.  Looks like engine from Ardennes game ported over and expanded to Russia starting in November of 1941 (game is titled Twilight in the East).  A large number of scenarios of various sizes played at battalion level (I think I saw something that looked like entire front)!  Tons of improvements (or complications depending on your viewpoint) to the engine.

Video is a bit hard to understand at times as it is Vic doing the talking.

A lot of big news out of Slitherine/Matrix. New DLC releases for Flashpoint Campaigns and Combat Mission Cold War, as well as announcement of Strategic Command Korea!

While I have never been a big fan of Battlefront's StratCom series, nor when Matrix/litherine updated and expanded the series, I do respect it a lot, and the idea of a Korean War version is intriguing. Not many strategy games in that field!

Still no freaking cm3 news though

You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

That's not a DLC for CMCW. It is a no-code-changes scenario pack.

There has never been a single fix for BAOR, although the bugs have been collected. People are pissed.

I know it's another well worn western front game but really hoped he would do a market garden game next could do some awesome things with that engine on that setting

Technically someone could use the Barbarossa engine to do a mod -- I think I recall it being designed for that purpose? (I've slept since playing DC:Barbie.  :tongue: )

Actually the Ardennes engine would be much more appropriate.  It's at the battalion level which works with Market Garden much better than a division or regiment level engine.
