    CMP FH2 Campaign #15: The Last Winter Battle #3: Bütgenbach History "Early on the morning of December 21, SS Panzergrenadiers, now supported by Nebelwerfers and heavy German artillery, slammed against the 26th’s defenses in and around Dom Butgenbach. The battle raged all day long and into the night, with the SS penetrating American lines repeatedly, only to be pushed back by American infantry, tank destroyers and artillery. At the end of the day, the veterans of the 26th Infantry still held their ground, and looked out on a battlefield strewn with destroyed German armor and scores of enemy dead. The dead SS Panzergrenadiers, many of them as young as 15 and 16 years old, were described by American patrols to be “as common as grass.” American graves registration counted some 782 German dead in front of the 26th’s positions alone. The burnt-out hulks of 47 German tanks lay scattered about the landscape, some of the vehicles burned for days after the fight was over. The following day, the 12th SS attacked the 26th Infantry again, this time with much less strength but in the same ferocious manner. Several German tanks made their way into the town, only to be knocked out by roving bazooka teams or American artillery. Many American survivors of the attacks made against Dom Butgenbach owed their lives to the divisional artillery of the “Big Red One.” The artillerymen supporting the riflemen on the line fired an astounding 10,000 rounds against the German attacks on the December 22 alone. Such was the ferocity of the artillery fire, that while several German tanks broke the lines, not a single Panzergrenadier managed to make his way close to the American defensive foxholes." --- --- ---
  2. There's a good chance that your FH2 is not up-to-date. Can you please try "Repairing" your FH2 installation to make sure it is on the latest version, and then try again?
  3. Just keep those sorts of messages in PM's or private chat on Teamspeak and off the battle server please Then everything will be good.

    CMP FH2 Campaign #15: The Last Winter Battle #2: Elsenborn Ridge History "The main drive against Elsenborn Ridge was launched in the forests east of Rocherath-Krinkelt on the early morning of 17 December. This attack was begun by tank and panzergrenadier units of 12th SS Panzer Division. 989th Infantry Regiment of 277th succeeded, after heavy and costly combat in the woods, in overrunning the forward American positions guarding the trails to the villages, capturing a large number of prisoners and leaving many small units isolated. By 11:00, this attack had driven units of 99th Infantry Division back into the area of Rocherath-Krinkelt. These units were joined by forces of 2nd Infantry Division moving into the villages from the north. The German attack swiftly bogged down against the heavy small arms and machine gun fire from the prepared positions of 99th Infantry Division on their flanks. The German infantry struggled to make their way through the dense woods and heavy brush in their path. The German forces also drew a rapid response from American artillery, who had registered the forward positions of their infantry. The artillery fired on the exposed advancing Germans while the American troops remained in their covered foxholes. The troops around the villages were assisted by tanks from 741st Tank Battalion, assisted by a company of 644th Tank Destroyer Battalion equipped with M10 tank destroyers, a company of 612th Tank Destroyer Battalion, and a few towed 3-inch guns from the 801st Tank Destroyer Battalion. They were instrumental in helping hold back the German advance in the fighting in and around Rocherath-Krinkelt. To the northeast of the 99th Division, the 1st Infantry Division had been recuperating near Liege, from nearly constant combat since it took part in the Normandy landings on 6 June. When the German counterattack broke the division hastily relocated to the unguarded southern end of the 99th's line near Bütgenbach. Troops from the 1st and 9th Infantry Divisions, moved into position to fortify Elsenborn Ridge and complete the defense. The 9th Division held positions on the northern portion of the ridge, in the vicinity of Kalterherberg." --- --- ---

    CMP FH2 Campaign #15: The Last Winter Battle #1: Wacht Am Rhein History "The Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945), also known as Unternehmen: Wacht am Rhein, was a major German offensive campaign launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg on the Western Front toward the end of World War II in Europe. The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off guard. United States forces bore the brunt of the attack and incurred their highest casualties for any operation during the war. The battle also severely depleted Germany’s armored forces on the western front which Germany was largely unable to replace. German personnel and Luftwaffe aircraft also sustained heavy losses. The Germans’ initial attack included 200,000 men, 340 tanks and 280 other tracked vehicles. Between 67,200 and 100,000 of their men were killed, missing or wounded. For the Americans, 610,000 men were involved in the battle, of whom 89,000 were casualties, including up to 19,000 killed. It was the largest and bloodiest battle fought by the United States in World War II." --- --- ---

    CMP FH2 Campaign #15: The Last Winter Scrimmage
  16. In mid-1944 it looked as if the war in Europe was coming to an end. The Axis Army was on the run, the Allies had triumphantly regained Paris, as well as Casablanca, Naples, and Rome. After five hard years of war, Allied soldiers were breathing easier. However, the Axis forces had one final card to play. In December 1944, they struck back with a brutal counterattack known as the: Battle of the Bulge After months of mapping and development we are proud to offer another great FH2 campaign.

  19. A new FH2 campaign will be starting around mid-March to play through 12 maps (and at least one scrim). The campaign will end mid-June. We need players to volunteer for various leading roles. If there are no volunteers to lead, then the campaign will NOT go ahead! For all those that complain during campaigns that their HQ, CO's or SL's do not know what they are doing - this is your time to shine and prove you're more than just talk! 101st Airborne vs 21st Panzer Division If you are interested then post below, or PM @RayderPSG, @Sir_Kowskoskey or @RAnDOOm and let them know which side you wish to play on, in which regiment and what role you'd like to take (HQ, CO, LT, NCO). We only have around 16 days to get teams in place, so the sooner we can fill up these leadership spots, the sooner we can get this campaign started!
  20. From all of the Committee, Admins and Moderators we want to wish all of the CMP community a wonderful holiday and hopes for a fantastic New Year. Yet another year has passed and it will soon be time to pick a rally point and spawn into 2024. And, although we haven't managed to leave some of the troubles and concerns of 2023 behind us, we can always look to 2024 with renewed hope and the resolve that if we want to make the world a better place we have the power within ourselves to bring change - even just the smallest action to help loved ones, friends, or our local community is sometimes all it takes. Within the CMP community we love to see this postivity as well. Friends meeting online to share their love of a particular game or just to chat on Teamspeak, CMP members meeting in real life to eat, drink and talk face-to-face, and through our Discord server where members can ask for help with technical issues, opinions on games, movies, music and much more. I think that I can safely say that for all those who work to keep CMP running, we are proud of how this fledgling community has grown over the years. Our numbers have swelled dramatically, and the numbers are consistently high in our signature FH2 campaigns for which CMP is now well-known for. It goes to show that what we are building here is what a lot of players are looking for - a place to call home. In 2023 we saw two more amazing FH2 campaigns using familiar and favourite custom maps, mixed in with a number of new maps never played before - it seems crazy that we have now closed out Campaign #13 in Italy and Campaign #14 in Normandy after the landings of D-Day. It's been wonderful to see the "old war dog veterans" return to join us again, and also a good number of new players participating in their first campaigns - a huge welcome to them! Of course, we can't ring out the year without mentioning the core group of CMP members who tirelessly give their all to set up these FH2 tournaments to play. They work long hours, using their free time to bring our community two custom FH2 campaigns each year, alongside other community events and features, and they deserve a heartfelt thank you from us all. Without the dedication from those listed below, there would be no CMP community, and no FH2 campaigns for us all to enjoy: Website, Game Servers, Discord, Teamspeak and All Things Technical kummitus Mapping and Mapping Support Papillon Geopat Pr0z4c Watchtower SgtAlex Blander Harmonikater Stubbfan Forums, Graphics, Social Media and Community Support RAnDOOm Sir_Kowskoskey Hawk RayderPSG Erwin Map Balancing and Feedback RayderPSG Hawk There are undoubtedly many others in the community that aren't on this list and we thank them all for their help. Donations A huge thank you must also go out to those who have donated throughout 2023 and continue to donate monthly, or offer one-off amounts to keep the forums, Teamspeak, Discord channels and game server up and running. With the help of the CMP members listed below, we managed to reach over 75% of our target goal for this year! € 629,40 Raised! Thank you to: krakki Incognito Spindrifter49 turbomursu 0utlaw sergioten Pr0z4c AL-SAHAD Tomi56 The_Green_Bunny Johonas TomTom39 SgtAlex Dani3l eXHaLe Pepinio RayderPSG Without the generous donations from these 16 community members out of the 2,000+ registered on the forums (just 0.5% of the community!), we would not be able to continue with the custom FH2 campaigns, and the expansion of the CMP community to look at supporting more games and events during 2024. If you donated to CMP, but are not on the list above, PM @Quicksilver and receive your 2023 Donators Medal! If you'd like to donate, you can see how, by going here. CMP 2023 Recap Over the past 12 months we have: Hosted both our Italian and Normany FH2 campaigns. Allied have managed to win back-to-back campaigns this year, as we look towards the next campaign focused around the Battle of the Bulge, it will be exciting to see who will win the late war campaign before we look to start again at the battles around 1939 / 1940 and onwards. We want to thank the HQ's, Officers and Squad Leaders for taking the time to lead and help players in these campaigns, attending trainings, meetings and battles. Without you, these campaigns would not have been possible! Also, to the players who may be old veterans, or brand new to FH2 and playing in CMP campaigns - Thank You! Yet again we've seen the server nearing max capacity during the campaigns. We hope you will keep coming back for more in the future. Ran a 6-week DiRT Rally 2.0 championship with players racing all over the world in special events on tarmac, gravel, mud and snow. Thank you to @turbomursu for organising this! Continued to organise community games such as: Assetto Corsa CS2 Hell Let Loose Squad 44 Star Citizen Come and join them if you play these games! Christmas Holiday Break Now that the 14th FH2 campaign is over, those involved in the long process of planning the campaigns will be taking a well deserved break over Christmas and the New Year. However, that doesn't mean plans are not already in place for Campaign #15! We expect the next FH2 campaign to start sometime in March 2024. Keep checking the forums and CMP emails to find out when the new campaign will start and to get signed up! We welcome all new players to join us in upcoming FH2 campaigns, and if you have played in at least one of our campaigns and would like to volunteer for a role as a Squad Leader, Regimental Commanding Officer or even as HQ then please let @Quicksilver or @RayderPSG know by Private Message in the forums and we'll see if we can find a place for you. CMP In 2024 We are looking to increase support for existing gaming groups and the number of games we support over the next year: Continuing our FH2 campaigns; More DiRT Rally 2.0 events; As Star Citizen increases in scope and activities we will be hosting more events including our first entry into the Daymar Rally! Come and join us at ANTCORP! Continue to host our own world server for Valheim; To continue arranging scrims with other communities and clans playing Squad 44; Supporting the expanding community of Hell Let Loose players in the CMP community and arranging events with other communities; Arranging events to play Squad with those who play within CMP. Are there other multiplayer and co-operative games you are interested in that you think the CMP community would enjoy too? If you do, then please post here and also vote in our poll! Donating To CMP In 2023 our donators helped us to get close to our target goal for the year. Without donations to help cover the costs for servers and software we cannot continue to create and host FH2 campaigns, support new games when possible; as well as run the forums, Teamspeak and Discord channels. As we begin a new year we will again need members to step up and donate whatever they can afford to help cover the monthly community costs - even a few Euros will help. You can use the button below to make a single or monthly donation to CMP, or use the buttons on the side bar of the Home page.
