Yawn. I think I will take a little break on the soldiers and move over to a vehicle for a while...
Already in CMFI is the M-24 Chaffee so no "Fake Lobster" here!
The good old scale modeler hobby is always a juicy source of vehicle markings.





I made it back before the one hour curfew!

So, now I will swing over to some CMFI Korea 1950 Mod map making. I have this nice photo here to guide me.
@Lucky_Strike Hey dude, we all miss you. Mark, I have tried emails and PM's. I need some KOREAN terrain help!
But please just let us know you are ok and all is well.

NOTE TO SELF: I need to mod the CMFI horizons to be more lush and green for Korea. Or maybe check with H&E first. @37mm 
 

Starting the KPA summer cap...the round commie cap badge in the 2D bmp gets stretched in 3D so I gotta mess with counter-stretching it the other way on the bmp.
Also the shoulderboards are a pain in the butt.

 

Alright, first efforts, still need to add back the pockets and buttons and stitching of the neck opening.



 
 
 
 
 
 

Rest in Peace, Corporal Del Ware, US Army, 24 August 1932 - 29 August 2023

You'll get nothing and you'll like it!
 
 
 

Today in a few hours I go to say probably my last goodbye to a dear friend. His wife said the cancer has spread all over and he is in pain even with the fentanyl patch at 100. Del is age 90 and served during the Korean War. He never made it over to Korea but spent a couple years blowing up trees to turn Camp Stewart, Georgia into a tank training center. As a corporal, he ran the armory for his Engineering Company. A great story of his, and he has a ton, is when a young officer, butter bar O-1, was turning in a .45 and it went off INSIDE the armory. The bullet passed down through Del's pants leg. Cloth only. No blood spilled. The company commander chewed the officer out AFTER Del had his chance.
My CM Korea Mod is dedicated to Corporal Delma Ware, US Army.

As a side project, in my spare, spare time, I am gonna start to see what I might be able to create for portraying "The Forgotten War"...
Obviously BFC will never ever do it. Obviously I am limited for what can be portrayed.
Fake Lobster Kimchee anyone?
Does anyone have a computer wargame with Korean language combat sounds? 
We can perhaps get those sound files and process to be our voices for CM Korea.
I already started a scenario: "Task Force Smith".
CMFI is the current base platform.
US is the US.
British will be the North Koreans.
T-34/85 is the Sherman IIa.
If you want to join the mod team, give me a PM.
 

Looking forward to this
For a very long time I do feel CMFI is an excellent tool for modding Pacific theater and Korea war.
Brazilian can be converted into ROKA. 
When I first thought about this idea, I was thinking KPA and CPVA should be mod from Italian. But later I convince myself British should be a better choice. Both KPA and CPVA were heavily influenced by IJA, so their infantry tactic is focused on small fire teams maneuverer. The cannot be split Italian infantry squad will be a problem here.
 
BTW:
LLF has a CMBN Pacific mod 
 
 
 

Asian skins are in progress. If anyone knows of any that already exist, please holler out.

T-34/85 is substituted in as a shell over Sherman IIA. Ranks, portraits, silhoutte and branch are done for the UI.

And the giant white turret numbers...

God bless, keep, and comfort him and his family and friends.
My 91 year old father fought in Korea.
We've spent many an hour talking about it.
