While I agree on a lot of what Geordie says, I think most people have spoken in the wargaming community with at worst, disdain for BFC, and at best, a yawn for CMSF. I will once again point out the lack of discussion, scenarios, forums, ladders, tournaments, etc. around the web. It may not be any one thing; crappy release, BFC arrogance, beta brigade, modern setting, Syria, hardware needs, 8m grid, who knows. But the verdict is pretty much in. CMSF is a dud. Outside that small fanboi community at BFC, no one is raving about it. Thats even with a significant retooling to bring it more in line with CM1 expectations.
For a lot of things, you can say "whatever floats your boat". But for a game as resoundly ignored as CMSF is today, that's a difficult stance to take.
