Having a Western Front version which took approx. 4 years and then an
Eastern Front which took two years is NOT milking. Many software
companies
come out with new versions of their software annually, with significantly
less changes than were made in CM.
The key now is to get the new engine. It sounds like this could bring the
game to the level it should be at today.
