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.

With our final Forgotten Hope 2 battle of 2025 complete and the 18th campaign now over, we now look forward to the holidays and heading into the start of a new year.

In this moment, it is a perfect time to celebrate the small things that keep CMP strong: a friendly message, or witty banter on Discord or TeamSpeak, someone stepping up to help another member of the community with technical support, real-life meet-ups over food and laughter, and the countless hours spent together in the various games we play, including our signature FH2 campaigns. Those everyday gestures are what make this community a home.

In April 2026 CMP will turn 9 — nine years of friendships, shared victories (and defeats), and a welcoming place for players from all walks of life. We've grown to over 3,000 members, our events stay busy, and our spirit of support and camaraderie remains our greatest achievement.

Thanks to everyone who helps to run our events, moderates our platforms, organizes games and meet-ups, or simply shows up to play and be kind. As we head into the new year, let’s keep that warmth and teamwork alive.

 

In 2025 we took our two FH2 campaigns from the vast landscapes of the Eastern Front, to the claustrophobic jungles of the Pacific, offering a mix of our previous quality custom maps, and a number of re-imagined and new maps never played before in a campaign.

These rarely played battlefronts have proved popular with our community, and we've consistently seen a full server on a Friday night for our battles - not only with gamers from our existing playerbase, but also from a new generation of gamers who have discovered the game and are looking for the fun of being involved in organised events.

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:

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 2026.

If you donated to CMP, but are not on the list above, PM @Quicksilver and receive your 2025 Donators Medal!

CMP 2025 Recap
Over the past 12 months we have:

• Hosted both our Eastern Front and Pacific FH2 campaigns. Axis took victory in both of the campaigns this year. For 2026 we will again mix up some of the squads to help try and keep the playing field even in 2026!
  
  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 18th 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 #19! We expect the next FH2 campaign to start sometime in March 2026.

We'd like to get feedback on the community on what you'd like to see in the next FH2 campaign!

We are switching back to more early war battles and have to decide: For the next campaign do we focus on North Africa only, Greece and North Africa, or Greece, North Africa and Italy? Vote in the poll attached to this message to have your say!

The next campaign will again consist of 12 battles. We can either play 12 battles in North Africa, or a number of battles in Greece before moving to play the rest in North Africa, or a mix of Greece, North Africa and Italy maps.

The poll closes on the 15th January 2026, so make sure to vote before then.

We also 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 2026
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;
• As Star Citizen increases in scope and activities we will be hosting more events including our 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 2025 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.
