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

Quicksilver · Tuesday at 06:45 PM

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.

As we stand on the brink of a new year, it's hard to believe that yet another chapter has come to a close. But soon, we will gather at our rally points yet again, ready to spawn into 2025. While we may carry some of the challenges and concerns from the past year with us, let’s embrace the idea that each of us holds the potential to create change, no matter how small. Whether it’s a kind word to a friend on Discord or Teamspeak, a helping hand to someone in need, or simply sharing a moment of fun in-game with friends, every action counts.

Within the CMP community, we have witnessed this spirit of connection and support flourish. From friends meeting online to share their passion for gaming, to CMP members gathering in person to enjoy good food and great conversation, and our vibrant Discord server buzzing with discussions and assistance — these moments remind us of the strength we find in each other.

As we reflect on the growth of our community, we can take pride in how far we’ve come. Our numbers have swelled to over 3,000 members, and our signature FH2 campaigns have become a beacon for players seeking a place to call home. This is a testament to the welcoming environment we’ve built together, where everyone can hopefully feel valued and connected.

So, as we prepare to step into 2025, let’s carry this warmth and camaraderie with us. Let’s continue to nurture our community and support one another. Here’s to a new year filled with hope, friendship, and the promise of new adventures!

In 2024 we hosted two diverse and interesting FH2 campaigns using a mix of our favourite custom maps, mixed in with a number of new maps never played before in a campaign.

It continues to surprise us that FH2 still holds a special place in so many players' hearts after all this time as we saw the server full throughout most of Campaign #15 in the Ardennes, and Campaign #16 covering various early war theatres. We're pleased to see more of the "older veterans" returning play in our campaigns, or simply coming to chat with us in Discord. And, once again, we've seen so many new players participating in their first campaigns this year, we hope they've enjoyed the experience and they'll return for more campaigns next year!

There is so much that goes on in the background to keep the community, campaigns and events running and we must recognise the core group of CMP members who tirelessly give their all for this wonderful community of players. They work long hours, using their free time to bring our community not only two custom FH2 campaigns each year, but also to make sure that CMP can thrive going forward, 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 massive thank you must also go out to those who have donated throughout 2024 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 shoot past our target goal by an impressive 70 euros for this year!

Without the generous donations from this small number of community members out of the 3,000+ registered on the forums (just 0.4% 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 2025.

If you donated to CMP, but are not on the list above, PM @Quicksilver and receive your 2024 Donators Medal!

If you'd like to donate, you can see how, by going here.

CMP 2024 Recap
Over the past 12 months we have:

Hosted both our Ardennes and Early War FH2 campaigns. Both Allied and Axis have both managed to take victory in the campaigns this year, as we look towards the next campaigns, we will most likely see some mixing up of the various squads to keep things interesting in 2025!

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.

Continued to organise community games such as:
- CS2
- Hell Let Loose
- Squad 44
- Star Citizen
- Valheim

Come and join them if you play these games!

Christmas Holiday Break
Now that the 16th 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, we have already started making plans for an exciting Campaign #17! 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 2025
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 2024 our donators helped us to exceed 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.
