Erwin Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Been watching the outstanding Ken Burns documentary "Vietnam" - 10 amazing episodes I think. Looking forward to some SE Asia action. I hope there will be opportunity for Blue vs Red (ie: US/ARVN vs VC and NVA. I see you have approximated the APC's but have you guys been able to sim the tanks as well? The doc depicts tanks quite a lot in '68 onwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US as Blue could be done, but the US Army/USMC technology is just so superior that it wouldn't be very realistic to put them back in the 60s or early 70s. But one could of course make some constraints within the scenarios. Edited March 29, 2020 by puje 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearest you're going to get to such action, using CMSF2, is our "Imperial Cavalry" vs "People's Militia/Army" stuff. Both campaigns & the majority of the "Bong-Hai Civil War" scenarios provided in last months "Open Beta" feature such forces. @Aquila-SmartWargames started a playthrough of the "Year of the Rat" campaign. Again, as per the manual, there are a number of Patton tags within H&E... such vehicles feature in several of the Urban campaign battles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Progress is slow at the moment, due to world events, but I have managed to do some conversion map-work for the People's Militia campaign... @Hapless & @Aquila-SmartWargames have been taking up the slack by helping to promote our little project... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37mm Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'm not even sure what to do with it, but as a quick sidequest, I updated @Combatintman's "Day of Days" map... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 As well as continuing work on the People's Militia campaign and its maps... I've also begun a, relatively quick, People's Army conversion of a @Fredrock1957 CMA campaign... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm sure there will be enough differences to allow you to play both (certainly the H&E Conversion will not be centered around a crack company of Russian Airborne, in BMD-1's, fighting Mujahideen)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 This really looks like an area described in "A Reckoning for Kings" book. Highly recommend the book for scenario/campaign ideas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear lord no... that's just the current default* H&E background (borrowed from CMFI). The "moodier" clouds will be part of 0.97. *There are different backgrounds for mountainous highlands, flat paddy areas, coastal areas & war torn cities... activated by various tags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah Ok thank you, personly I find this already very nice, this seem to be integreate in this game, the clouds will give really a good aspect. You and your Team have already doing something special with this full release, and I like very much combat red again red, this is the missing possibilities in some CMs Series, and this model is very welcome to created more mods in the same direction, and I think with F and R we will have more stuffs to working about. Do you planified to do in the futur another converted mod, or period ? (well of course you dont have to explain too much, but a little sign) ?? !! to stay in the region and context Japan again Chinese, Shangai...let us dream...

Erwin Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Lovely maps. If we could only have the reshade effect that HerrTom succeeded with in his CMBS thread, would look like RL pics. Edited May 19, 2020 by Erwin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'd imagine that he has to tune his setting for each different map TBH.....What works well in one environment, won't always look so good in others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
