Cat , I've recently read a very good book on Stalingrad, by Michael Jones. This book gives the account of the battle from the Soviet point of view, using many sources and first person accounts . Another great book about a city under siege is; The siege of Budapest - 100 Days in WW2, by Krisztian Ungary. This time the Soviets are the ones doing the besieging, and the book details not just the various warring factions, but also the terrible suffering of the trapped civilians. I could not recommend ; The siege of Leningrad by David Glantz. While the book is full of details, is well sourced and has some great photos it reads like stale toast. Infact this book has put me off Glantz's works for life. Operation Barbarossa - The war in Russia as photographed by the solders By Paul Carell. While people can argue about Carells politics this picture/ text book is simply superb. It's chock full of amazing photos from both sides with some in colour . It's one of my all time favourite WW2 books. God, Honor, Fatherland Grossdeutschland on the Eastern Front 42/44 This is the best pictorial divisional history I've ever seen. The photos are crystal sharp and cover the division through training and into action. Also included are some nice bios on a number of officers. If your interested in the Wehrmacht this is a must buy in my opinion. Platz Der Leibstandarte The SS - Panzer - Grenadier - Division LSSAH and the battle of Kharkov 43 Similar to the previous title in quality and again highly recommended. Two books that relate well to CMBB are; German Report Series - Small unit actions during the German campaign in Russia. Department of the Army Pamphlet Number 20-269 Panzer Tactics - German small - unit armour tactics in WW2 By Wolfgang Schneider Essential reading for the understanding of German combined arms tank doctrine and it's use in every day situations.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Dey. As you can see by the large d/l numbers many people find your skin's of great use, myself included. I like how your winter schemes are evolving and branching out. I didn't mean to disparage your ISU122s above I was just hoping for a set in similar camou like a unit might have. I enjoy d/l mods and changing the look of my CMBB almost as much as playing the game.

Hi I recently d/l a nice camou by you for the WW ISU-122 mod 1b with white stripe and wondered if you could add the camou to the ISU-122S . Also if I might be so bold to ask, if you might consider putting a winter coat on the SU85 and Su122. Thankyou for all your past winter skin's they've really added to my immersion into the game.

Hi Pat, thank's for the prompt reply. I should have explained myself better. I had already checked cmmods and found plenty of camou and winter skins but not early grau skins. I was thinking of something similar to Cabe's recent nice mods of early SPW250's.

Hi, I'm having difficulty finding grau mods for the early German gun set, especially anti tank guns. The ingame version's seem to be very dark without any definition. Camou guns look good but appear only later in the war. Can anyone recommend a grau mod set to me please ?

I haven't read this book but in case you don't get an answer here, try the Axis History Forum; http://forum.axishistory.com/viewforum.php?f=19&sid=583d903aec103c603e6de8f1d46f9f24 I check out book's there myself.

Thankyou Dey, for all your fine work on your winter mods.

Beaut mod, glad I'm not up to my shin's in that mud !

Beaut skin David, and thank's for all your mod's.

Thanks for the new mods Pat, they look sweet ingame.

This request is slightly OT. But since I see that Patboy replied to this topic and is still modding, I thought I would ask if there was any chance of you adding to your CMBB 251early43 series ? The 9/16 version's would be nice to have in the same camo or even the 250's to match too. The muddy effect look's greaton these vehicles. I realise your probably very busy so thank's for the mod's you have put out and I'll just live in hope for the future.

Beaut paintjob David, thankyou for this and all your other great mod's.

Thank's for another great mod MikeyD.

I'd like to add my thanks to Dey for all his whitewashing effort's, I've collected loads of your mods and found they really add to the sense of cold winter in the game.

Beaut skin, nice touch with the emblem. Will d/l ASAP, thankyou very much.
