Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays And A Happy New Year From CMP!

[Quicksilver]

 

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:

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!

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!

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.

@Quicksilver should be a writer! ty for the post. 

Wishing everyone the best for these special days, Merry Christmas and a good start of the year hopefully! 

I profit of this post to do a thankful recap to everyone involved in the last FH2 campaign:

-Thank you to both HQs for your effort and volunteering during the whole campaign! @dumbbPunk @FiveStars @TomTom39 @Beariale you stepped up when the community needed it the most and it's highly appreciated. @Erwin gets special mention, because of his refreshing and extra job trying to give the Axis team a bigger push in the late campaign , something we indeed felt ! 

-Thank you to every single CO and SL, where again, we had a lot of new faces and they didn't disappoint! SL'ing is one of the most demanding jobs and you made a step forward to bring the fun for your lads.

-Thank you to the admin team, who had waaaay more work than we'd desire. Remember that they also deserve to have fun with us all,and still choose to spend half of their time during battles ( + the one outside of them) to try make a better experience for everyone. @Sir_Kowskoskey @Hawk @Quicksilver @RAnDOOm @kummitus @Papillon 

-Thank you to our regular players who keep choosing us tournament after tournament, to the oldies who eventually come back, and to the new players who joined us ! @AlperenN @Anters @FalseCicada @XxOsamaxX @Kimani1 @killtheradio @ReQunet  @greg90 @Stewe @Senor_tactico2 @Major MeeM @theonfyre @shinguru @lemminglemon @monsterhunter @LordOfOlives @OutGunned @LFI @Kaktys @PANTELY @operenok
