It looks like we are on our own lads. I gave my best case (others did too) in the CMRT forum F&R thread to Steve/BFC to give us some "war gamer kits" and I can hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
FROM HERE ON OUT, I THINK CMFI CAN BE THE BEST ARENA FOR EARLY WAR MODS EVEN IF SET IN USSR, FRANCE, etc.
Reason 1: Since you can set the scenario date to July 1943, there is a confirmed for FJ and German Motorized Infantry, no panzerfausts. No MP44. We can probably scenario edit out the HMG42 and LMG42.
Reason 2: There are multiple axis nations so you can have around 6 uniform choices on the map. CMRT has only 2 uniform choices for Allies. But that will change with F&R. You can have at least 2 voice files in use at once in a scenario. You can have at least 2 names files in use in a scenario. Think of Germans and Italians at El Alamein or Romanians and Germans near Stalingrad.
Reason 3: There are multiple allied nations. This allows somewhat more uniform choices on the map vs just 2. Some allied nations use the same uniforms as US it seems. You can have multiple voice files in use at once in a scenario. You can have multiple names files in use in a scenario. A North Afrika Tunisia scenario with Free French, British and US all fighting against Axis.
Reason 4: we have all the seasons
The modding of CMFI to become a new early war CMRT is a great project. CMFI BARBAROSSA will not start until after F&R comes out.
The modding of CMFI to become a new early war CMBN is a great project. CMFI FALL GELB will not start until after F&R comes out.
So, if you want to be involved, please PM me. These projects take a long time and take a lot of effort. Pulling the wagon is easier with some help! If you have talent or even want to give a first try at scenario writing, modding, Blender work, GiMP work, Photoshop, making coffee, etc. You have a new home! Early War Orphans must stick together and develop from the CM community what we most likely will never see from BFC. Never say never but F&R still not out after a half decade. So, I will lock up the negativity from this point and just press forward.
