    I cannot recall a book that gave me so much "real life" information regarding front line infantry tactics and weapons use.

    Thanks for the heads up.. 

    BTW. Stout Hearts by Ben Kite does the same trick. Great book, a click ahead of Closing With The Enemy by Michael Doubler, yet another great book and in its day the best of best on CM scale, WWII tactics.

     All the best,

    How accurate *is* CMBS?

    To me the immersion is in taking it very slow. Giving your troops time to spot potential targets and then dealing with them in the sneakiest possible way.  Keeping casualties to an absolute minimum (in pbem or vs the AI) is satisfying imho.

    Agreed :)! 

    In all versions of CM. 

    All the best,

    I'll definitely be including a copy of the clean master, so folks can slice it up and use it however they want. I'm one of those players that spends most of their CM time grabbing a map or map slice, spending between 15 minutes and an hour or so in the Editor, and then having fun with a "Custom QB" for a number of days/weeks (months? :o:D). So, I know how good it is to have new quality maps.

    Goodness, we are doppelgangers in our CM habits..:) !

    Thanks,

    ThePhantom, hi,

    not really played much yet.. but I always go in a take a good look to see if there Is anything worth putting time aside for.

    There certainly is :).

    Very professional look to things. Clearly all astonishingly high quality stuff. Briefings, map, everything.

    When I have time, it may not be soon sadly for me, look forward to giving it a go.

    Thanks,

    All the best,

    Hi,

    "Amazing work, Barbaricco. Sorry, Kohlenklau, modding really isn't my thing. I would never be satisfied with my own work and would not enjoy it."

    My sentiments exactly.. I am hopelessly unartistic.. but still greatly appreciate the incredible work others do.

    This is a stunning project :).

    All the best,

    Kip.

    Hi,

    yup.. really superb stuff..

    Adds a tremendous amount. Thanks to all involved.

    Incredibly lucky to have CM, in a league all its own. Just think Steve and Charles all those years ago might really have developed Space Lobsters instead of CM ;). CM being such high quality then attracts above quality talent that gives us above mods :).

    All the best,

    Kip.

    Grunt_GI, hi,

     

    Short answer is yes.. you can swap about terrain from title to title. Normally, sometimes.

     

    So if you look at say the terrain in the Winter Mod, in your data folder, you may find some type of vegetation say..  branches [snow].bmp  as the title/name to one of the graphics.

     

    The Mod is the [snow] part. If you now go to the Editor in CMRT. Down the left hand side you want “Mission” from the drop down menu. Click on “description” from the list below Mission.

     

    At the very bottom of the list below you will now see Mod Tag.  Click that and you will see that you can Clear away a Mod Tag or Import a new one.

     

    A Mod Tag is just a pure, standard text file with say “snow” in the top right hand corner, i.e. in the this case just one word…  snow   .. that has been saved to the Scenarios folder in CMRT. When you click Import under Mod Tags the CMRT goes to the scenarios folder and just shows the text files therein for you to choose from. You can then select any one you wish, view it on screen there and then, keep it by Saving the scenario or Clear it away and try another.

     

    Feel free to ask any more questions.. in truth the manual is a little weak on Mod Tags. I think you will find more in the new Bulge manual when released. Simply too much to cover for the first versions of the manual.

     

    Good luck,

    All the best,

    Kip.

    New Scenarios

    in CM Red Thunder Maps and Mods

    Posted · Edited by kipanderson

    Hi,

     

    fantastic.. thanks to all...

    Off to work now but will grab them for the long, New Year weekend.

    Thanks to Kevinkin, Kohlenklau and Barbaric..:).

    All the best,

    Kip.

    PS I take QB maps and transfer them to "Scenarios.." and then use them as an ultra-flexible, QB resource too... Bit nerdish, but superb way to use them. Quick edit and you are there..
