The Crossroads at Monthardrou

I've been playing the CM series for 20 years but haven't played since early 2025. To get back in to it before some PBEM games I have been playing the Yanks in a scenario called The Crossroads at Monthardrou.
Seems like a really tough scenario to win as the Yanks vs. AI Germans. I'm wondering what ...

Scourge of War Gettysburg vs Steam Version

I have the Matrix version of SOW Gettysburg and the Antietam DLC. Version 1.61 which is the latest.

I see there is no Steam key. What is the difference between my version and the Steam version?

Multiplayer for The Bloody First

I believe this is the only game in the series where multiplayer is an option. Would I need to install and virtual network such as Hamachi or Radmin VPN for multiplayer?

Re: Which core game do you think the CS Legion should do next? - Pick two

A couple of years ago you posted screenshots of Campaign Series WW II western front. Specifically I believe they were screenshots of Normandy. What has happened to that project?

If that is dead my preference would be see something on Italy 1943-45.

In addition there isn't as many games on the ...

I noticed that this is on sale. It indicates that there is no multiplayer. Is that correct or can it be played multiplayer?

Re: Combat Mission - A look ahead into the new year

My friends and I have been playing CM PBEM from the beginning, dating back over 20 years. All their WW2 games and even CM Cold War in our opinion do not have air power as a significant factor.

For example although the Allies controlled the skies in Normandy, air is not a factor in CMBN.

However we ...

My friends and I have been playing the Combat Mission series for 20 years. In the last few days I activated CMBN so I now have it on Steam and still have my Battlefront version.
If I buy Battle Pack 2 will the scenarios appear on both versions or only on the Steam version?

Re: New mod available - Total Victory Europe 1939

My friend and I were already using one of your graphics mods for the units so I assume this mod will have a different look. I just read your scenario notes and see that a big change is the UK convoy escort starting at 1940. However in my opinion, more is needed to balance the game. My version is 1 ...

New Scenario Pack

I bought CMBN years ago and have all the required packs such as the Commonwealth, battle pack etc. necessary for the latest scenario pack.

My question is, if I purchase the new scenario pack which I believe is on Steam, how or will that work for my Battlefront version of CMBN?

Re: And it starts

Looking at the game where the Soviets are close to capturing Vienna I am curious as to what the victory points for the Axis is vs. the Allies. I assume that there is a huge difference in VPs

Germany surrenders when all their production centres are captured. If the UK and USA are "blocked" in ...

Re: And it starts

My opinion is that with the current state of the 1939 Small Fleet scenario, the Germans will have the game won on points by 1943. The difference in points means the Allies have to invade Europe in the spring/summer of 1943. We found that this resulted in multiple invasions being wiped out or at best ...

Re: Are the Soviets too strong!

I am very interested in how your game goes. Maybe post a AAR? My friend and I who are the same skill level have played the 1939 small fleet scenario three times and the Axis have won all three. That said all three were played before the latest changes that were added to help the Russians.

Re: Update Scenario

I installed all the folders and files but after looking at the Soviets using the 1941 and 1942 scenario I don't see any difference in their defense values.
How can I confirm that my game has been updated?

Landing in Normandy

We have finished three 1939 Small Fleet Campaigns and because the Russians are so weak the Allies have invaded western Europe in 1943 in all the games. They have invaded Brittany, Normandy and around Antwerp. Normandy was impossible to hold. For example the Allies had a full strength armour unit in ...

Re: Update Scenario

I want to make sure that I install this update correctly. After clicking on the link provided by Alvaro and downloading I ended up with 21 folders and 12 files.

The files started with Op Barbarossa 1941.scn to Op Bagration 1944.scn

Why the folders?

Just curious if this change will be in the next update as we debating whether to start another 1939 Small Fleet or wait to see what the comments are as to how it impacts the Soviets to survive and go on the offensive beginning in 1943.

My friends and I have been playing the CM series since the very beginning, 20 years ago. The CM games are the gold standard when it comes to tactical games. Back then there was one on North Africa.

We play them WEGO by PBEM rather than real time. About the only downside is there isn't much in the ...

Re: Warplan - early review from a new player

War Plan is a great game with some nice features such as interception and supply interdiction making it more than a turn based game. My friend and I completed three 1939 campaign games the last two being the small fleet scenario. We have not yet played with accelerated activation of Soviet corps ...
