[brooktrout]

Those pics look fantastic! Thanks for using your talents to make this game even better.

Having been with Kip on the Ardennes trip, I just second what he said.

Here are some pictures, for those who missed them on the General Forum:

I love that mud & snow mod. It reminds me of Hohenfels or Grafenwoher during a field exercise.

Great, can't wait.

I remember a november night at Grafenwöhr. -18°C. And the heating in out APC failed...

*sigh* the good ol' days...

[Culex Pipiens]

VERY GOOD WORK (as usually)

[André]

I want it!!! Now!!

[phil stanbridge]

Any ETA on this pls?

[Lt Bull]

Tom,

That is magnificent work!! That is awesome!!

I never really liked playing snow scenarios becasue of the "blandness" of the snow maps/overlaps that have been available. A big issue was not being able to readily pick eleveations/depressions in the terrain.

Your mod on the otherhand, not only makes it look almost photorealistic, but it also gives you a much better feel for the 3D nature of the terrain when playing in snow conditions.

Great work and hope to DL it soon.

No kidding! How about trying to dig in when the ground was so frozen a pickaxe wouldn't make a dent? Sniff,I miss the Army...

[PeterNZer]

great work, very realistic.

[Peter Panzer]

...exquisite, that's the stuff tom - a fine compliment to your "subdued grass" and road textures.

...cosmetically speaking, ogling at my 14th cav boys repeatedly taking it on the chin should prove to be much more satisfying.

thanks.

I'm playing the CD's scenarios in historical order, I'm just getting to the winter ones - and to tell you the truth, I wasn't really looking forward to them because of the bland terrain. But with this mod...roll on winter!

[Mr. Johnson--]

OMG, being from Alaska I can say that is almost perfect recreation of Alaska in October or April.

Simply awesome. I love you Tom.

[Pascal DI FOLCO]

Whhhhoooooooooooooooooo !!!!!

I WANT THESE !!!!!

Depends on what part of Banff you in Shadow...

Banff has one major street

[Michael Dorosh]

Shadow must be in the snowy part; I was in Canmore (down the road from Banff) in September, there wasn't a shred of snow, even at the top of the mountains; I'm starting to believe this global warming stuff.

[Hoopenfaust2]

You guys say it looks like Banff but the screenshots don't show any big CP hotels in it. I'm confused

[lcm1947]

I just had to stop and let you know that that is an extremely good and realistic looking mod. That's just what you thought the terrain must have looked like during the battle. Excellent job. Thanks for your time and work.

If you look more closely, you will see 7,000 Japanese tourists milling about the main street of the first screenshot.

Oh No! Now somebody's going to demand that I make both "snow-covered" and "whitewashed" Japanese tourist mods in addition to the "clean" versus muddy versions I was working on.
