Ok guys Christmas is sneaking up on us. Now it just so happens I have been a fine feller almost all year long. I could probably find a couple witnesses to say so if needs be. Y'all stop laughing, I need a recommendation. I still lack 3 titles having the complete set of CM games. There is a reason or reasons these are the last 3 on the list.
1-CMFB.... a lot of maps look like mud baths to me and the terrain looks awful..i know that is where the campaign was fought but it irritates me getting a bunch of vehicles stuck in the mud every game (i know all the driving tips) but that terrain combined with snow and mud looks like a lot of cussing to myself for "getting another one stuck"
2-CMFI.... the early war equipment looks kinda weird to me .. I am an old dog and while i can learn new tricks but only if i have to..and then i will do a considerable amount complaining and procrastinating first ... and the Italians kinda seem like they are not really worth investing time in
3-CMRT... I have to say ignorance of the eastern front is a factor i know more than enough about the western war to have a good feel for what a scenario will likely be like just from the time period and a good ideal of how the forces will match up vs one and other.. i dont know the eastern front nearly as well.. just the broad strokes of it and dont have that much knowledge of the red army during ww2.and almost none of how the german army in the east differed than the one in the west other than the east is where most of the tigers went to die.. well most of the panzers in general... so it may have the mud bath maps i hesitate on FB for and the unfamiliar forces... of FI................... but then again...... learning that stuff could be a way to freshen things up at times
So that is the list to pick from and an ideal of why those 3 are left. FI or RT would be complete bundle buys with could make it an easier choice based only on volume of content for the money but I dont want that to be the deciding factor. I would rather get the title I will enjoy the most. I tend to play the modern titles more even though I really do enjoy CMBN.
So talk me into one of them..... and if y'all are wrong i wont carry the grudge more than 6 months or so when my birthday rolls around
