kohlenklau Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hey Sean! On that Migojo map of yours, beautiful job by the way....what are those 2 Aborigine burial ground kinda things? Lower right, look like squares from above? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Haha! Nothing so mystical unfortunately. They were piles of dirt and debris that I modeled off an actual photo. There seems to be random piles and mounds around the place in the Hungarian countryside. I suspect they are created by farmers who push debris out of the way to flatten the area, and then they are left there. Then grass and brush grow on them. Interesting that using actual photos as reference, that often the features of the landscape (both natural and man made) are somewhat unusual and unexpected. By the way, do you know who is actually on the allied team? Did Jaeger Jonzo defect? What about Ardem? Snols and Pallebahtep are active. Marco2marzo has popped in once. I haven't heard anything from Strachwitz. So do we have only 3 active members besides myself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well, then we get some good experienced soldiers and if they do some screenies they get some cool stuff next battle! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pallebahtep Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah that is a beautiful map of Migojo. We ripped through several turns last night and will hopefully keep it going today. We may be well into this fight in the next couple of days - will be interesting! I will post screenies and some DAR commentary once the action starts proper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pallebahtep Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 As you have already seen the overall status I will just add a few flavour screenshots in here. Overall as you will have seen above, the force is concentrated on the left and centre while the right flank is little more than a scout screen. While initially the enemy was happy to open up at long range he now seems to hold extreme fire discipline, as demonstrated in the below screenshots. This is working better for him as my infantry is literally stumbling upon his positions. Overall the battle is going well. We have lost some heroes amongst the scouts but the fascists cannot stand against us. We have broken through their first two defense lines. On the right flank our scouts fall to IG fire. On the left flank one Tanker has had to much Vodka and rushes to assist infantry under MG fire.... a hidden trench appears and a PZFaust round is caught in the bush.. Too close! The tankers are too drunk to notice... turn right!! Our rifle men engage the fascists and prevent another shot In the centre the action is at extreme close range A little behind, our tanks spray suppressing fire at any trench and fox hole in sight. The AT gun at the centre of the village (overall screenshot) was silenced by concerted MG and Tank fire down the promenade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hey Pallebahtep, Those turrets need some markings! Do you like mods? Maybe I can crank out some turret markings for the 27th Guards Tank Brigade tonight and put a link here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) FLASH MOD! Here they are. Take 'em or leave 'em. 3 slightly different T34/85 turrets for this battle. 1 has white bear emblem, 1 has a faded bear emblem and 1 has a bigger bear, a number and a slogan "Onward to Budapest". Probably will not match up well to somebody else's weathered hulls but will be fine with stock hulls. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6wu05j4uo2zb0n5/AACIlpNif2DL-T0HCZMsurGIa?dl=0 Edited July 19, 2015 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Sounds like the battle is going well Pallebahtep! Keep up the great work. Thanks for the reports and the screen shots, they look great in the dawn light. It's quite a thrill to have built the map, and then see the screen shots of the battle. What do you use to capture the images? I found the normal 'print screen' doesn't work so well, and I bought the 'Fraps' program about a year ago. Nice mod Phil! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallebahtep Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hey Concord - It's a really nice map to play, I'm enjoying it When I do Screenshots I use FRAPS for the capture and then use GIMP to convert to JPG or do any other alterations to the files. Kohlenklau - those mods look very nice, Thank you very much. I am a beginner when it comes to mods so I have not yet managed to add these to my game. I'm seeking help from dr. google but until I find success my screenies may not show them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I am on a PC/windows. Find the main Red Thunder folder. some/My Documents/Battlefront/CombatMission/RedThunder there you should see 5 or so things including a Game Files folder and User Data folder. Go in User Data folder and you should see Mods folder or make a new folder named Mods. Paste my "CMPzC Nyaleves T34-85" folder with the 3 bmp images into that folder and run the game. When you do not want to see T34-85 with my mods, just remove the folder from the Mods folder.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallebahtep Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 ah, I just pasted the files straight in. I did it as you describe with a subfolder and now it works great. Thanks! *** SITREP Fascists unleashed three heavy sets of mortar barrages on the approaches. We estimate approximately 30-35 casualties across the entire force. We suspect use of preplanned TRP as there were no spotter rounds seen. This is a setback but we will prevail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pallebahtep Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I will do... Our turn rate has slowed down drastically after the weekend. Those artillery barrages sucked the life out of me (and my men).... bleh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi Pallebahtep. Yeah, I know the feeling myself all too well. But remember, the enemy artillery is out of your control, and you're making good progress. Rally your men as best you can and continue where you have strength. I'd be wary of sending your tanks in front of your infantry - as much as possible, use the infantry to spot positions, and then reduce them methodically with the tank's long range firepower. Keep your chin up, and pound them into dust! Even if you don't end up taking all the ground, we can still win by eliminating the enemy, so take your time. Snols, what's the status of your battle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concord Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Some nice screenies from Comrade Pallebahtep's battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snols Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Still not started. I'm waiting for my opponent. Kohlenklau posted that my opponent should send first file today. I'll report when battle starts. Over and out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
