Thorondor Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Combat Mission: Battle for NormandyWe knew they'd get around to it. The folks over at Battlefront.com had already teased it and now they're crossing yet another bridge to deliver in full the intel regarding the upcoming new module for Combat Mission Battle for Normandy - Market Garden.https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/6375/news-thumbnail_combat_mission_battle_normandy_market_garden_mdl_scr01.jpg https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/6375/news-thumbnail_combat_mission_battle_normandy_market_garden_mdl_scr02.jpg https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/6375/news-thumbnail_combat_mission_battle_normandy_market_garden_mdl_scr03.jpg Combat Mission: Market Garden depicts allied Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery's September 1944 dash across Holland in a daring gambit to leap the Rhine river and enter the heartland of Germany itself. Fielding U.S., British and Polish forces, Operation Market Garden was meant to be the lightning stroke which would end the war that year. It included the largest airborne operation seen to that day or since. Market Garden ended in tragedy, though, when the allies failed to capture their final objective, the Rhine river bridge at Arnhem. It was, in the famous words of Lt. General Fredrick "Boy" Browning, a bridge too far. The features abridged: • Two Campaigns - Allied and German, September 1944, Holland. Allied campaign The Road to Nijmegen, 15 missions; Axis campaign A Moment in Time, 6 missions.• New scenarios - Ranging from tiny to huge and with a varied mix of forces, 14+ standalone scenarios focus on the new units, weapons and vehicles found in the module.• New, larger bridges - For the first time, CM:Market Garden offers detailed, historical, to-scale models of the bridges involved in the Market Garden battles• New buildings - New urban buildings, modeled after buildings near the Arnhem and Nijmegen bridges; and windmills!• New units and equipment• New major formations• Master maps - The 7 "master maps" are huge maps, historically accurate, detailed and thoroughly researched, depicting the main areas around the bridges where most of the fighting happened. These master maps will help scenario designers in creating their own scenarios without the burden of having to create the maps from scratch. The maps can be cut to encompass smaller areas for individual battles.• New map tools - New editor elevation tools, and a new terrain type: dirt footpaths For further information about the campaigns and the features visit the official site. The base game (upgraded to version 2.0) is required in order to be able to play this new expansion. Market Garden is currenlty in beta and traversal to retail is currently scheduled for "later this summer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
