Erwin Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks to Kieme's new mods for CMSF, I fired up Zawiya Uprising campaign as I was on mission #5 when CMBN came out and took over my play time. Well, Kieme's mods do a fabulous job making Zawiya Uprising terrain and buildings look the most realistic that I have seen. It really reminds me what most of those ME countries look like. I am using a ton of mods in CMSF that give me mishmashed Syrian Assad Govt. vs mishmashed Uncon forces that look a lot like what we're seeing on TV. The mods even include black pick-ups with light and heavy MG's, Recoilless, and AA artillery; Arabic radio chatter (Mord's Allah's Army and a lot of others too etc.), beat up cars and taxis... There is a ton out there. I really hope someone can do an ISIS flag and insignia mod and maybe some black outfits. It would be very easy to sim the current situation in Iraq and Syria. (The current scenarios and campaigns would work.) Since ISIS has US equipment now, I wonder if it's possible to get uncon forces in Humvees etc? (Does the Iraqi Army have Humvees in the game? Or, can one change US uniforms to approximate uncon "uniforms"?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have been thinking about something, you might swap a lot of stuff and turn the entire US army into actual iraqi army, along with the syrian regulars to provide soviet stuff, and use syrian reservists(with mord's civil war mod) + irregulars as the ISIS units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 YES.....!!!!!!!!! (I mean, "I do hope so...") See also my notes in another thread re using arty to create the pot-holed look of most ME roads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If you want Humvees you'll have to mod US forces - the only light utility vehicle the Syrians have is the UAZ 469. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Bitter fighting continues as Joker 1 is pinned down by small arms and RPG fire coming from all directions. Meanwhile a VBIED comes roaring down the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Another RPG round impacts taking down a member of Echo CO QRF that has reinforced Joker 1 Gunship fire danger close hits an insurgent position Insurgent casualties are mounting Joker 1 puts down one of their tormentors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 The Mobile Asslt pltn having extracted Joker 3 from their position in the cemetary moves toward Easy street and Joker 1 A team leader firing his personal weapon as an insurgent position is hit by the pltn's heavier weapons The insurgents small arms are no match for the firepower the Asslt pltn can dish out An insurgent suicide driver somehow escapes the immolation of his vehicle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 The exhausted members of Joker 3 moving out to rejoin the fight Feeling like they have an opportunity to wipe out Joker 1, insurgent RPG teams flood the streets only to realize too late Joker 1 is moving forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Love your AAR. Brings back happy memories of that scenario. Am really enjoying playing CMSF myself again. Yeah, every time I pick up a book on the war in Irag I fall back to this game and usually at some point this scenario. The desperation and chaos, ammo shortage, exhaustion of units - it all works so well to get some sense of things. Honestly I am looking more forward to CMSF2 than I am CMBS. Here's hoping they widen the scope of the game. One of the things that makes CM work so well for me is there is so much reading material relevant to the game that makes you want to go back and try things out. CMBS won't really have that. Not that it will stop me from enjoying it, it is just I won't have those moments reading something and say, damn that would be a cool scenario...but then again who knows what things will look like in 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 "Honestly I am looking more forward to CMSF2 than I am CMBS." It is a surprising statement... and now that I am rediscovering CMSF, I find myself agreeing with you. When CMSF was the only CM2 title available, (after it had all its patches), designers had reached a pinnacle of skill. More than ever, I now appreciate the amazing mods, scenarios and especially the campaigns that were produced in the year or so before CMBN came out and took away the attention. Just look at how few campaigns are now being made - esp for CMRT. I think we may reach a point where BFC has to consider charging for additional good quality campaigns to be designed. I just wish we could overcome the "squeamish" actor, and have Israeli-Arab etc games. Playing the amazing "Zawiya Uprising" (Gaddafi in Libya), I think we may have the ability to mod other conflicts like ISIS vs Kurds, Iraq and Syrian factions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimey Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Here's some screenies to showcase Kieme's excellent terrain/building mods. Mainly based on the UK-Armoured Assault scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 WOW i haven't had time to try out kiemes it looks nice!!! BTW Blimey where did you get those faces for the brits? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimey Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 where did you get those faces for the brits? I retro-fitted Aris' excellent CMBN faces to fit CMSF. Basically some cloning, resizing and pasting. As these are 99% Aris' work it didn't feel appropriate to send them to the Repository. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Mobile asslt platoon continues to try and force a path down easy street Meanwhile 2Lt Campbell and his men catch their breath, look to their wounded and redistribute ammo. You get a good view here on the extent of the warrens they still need to penetrate to rescue the other Marines of 2/4th. the tower in the distance is the approx position of the mobile platoon and beyond that Joker 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpheart23 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Great screens sburke. I haven't played the Ramadi scenario or map but I have read Joker One and all the references to the platoons have me wanting to give it a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
