You could perhaps add a few ammo pouches to the German soldiers, and give them desert tan boots, instead of black ones.
Yes to all. Also the desert cammo color has been adjusted.
As for differences in pouches depending on quantity of ammo, there is no way to do it for CM:SF
However CM:N has a new, more flexible, system where the gear on the soldiers changes depending on the type of tasks they perform. This allows for a lot more variety.

Yes, we are still working on it. The shade should be more towards yellow than red. It needs a few more adjustments as well.
As for the vehicles cammo, only now we are seeing pictures of German vehicles painted in desert cammo. Most of the images of German vehicles are of them in green with loads of sand in them. I imagine in a war in Syria they would not have time to paint them. The Marines, in the game now, have their vehicles in green commo, for instance.
However nothing is 100% sure at this point.
Either way, one of the first things that get modded are the skins, and we do have very talented texture artists in the community. I bet you will see the desert cammo available in day one!
Regarding the modding community we plan to release the template, and layered files, of the textures of all vehicles with the module. This would save modders a lot of time, since most skins have loads of sand and dirt in them, which is usually a nightmare to get rid of.
Thanks for the feedback.
By the way, did you get my PM, MARS42? Check your inbox!

The module is still in Alpha exactly because a lot of things can still change. This is mostly due to the fact that we are still working on the TO&E.
The list of equipment is "preliminary". However we thought it would be better to release a list that can change than to release nothing.
I´d like to see the Fuchs in. We even have the 3d model finished. We´ll see.
Same goes for the G85.
As for the Leo A4 I see no problem in having it in the low quality settings for some units. But it´s not guaranteed that it will be in the final release. Personally, I would love to have it in.
It is good to read comments and suggestions here! Keep them coming!

Well, it´s Friday.
Martin should be announcing soon the official NATO page and with it the German screens.
Maybe it´s already up! Check on the Battlefront site: Games/Combat Mission/Shock Force/NATO

Non. Set module comprend seulement les armées de l'Allemagne, Pays-Bas et du Canada.
Allors, si vous êtes intéressé par l'armée française, et connaître beaucoup au sujet de son organisation, veuillez m'envoyer un email ou un PM. Merci.

I said this week. When does the week end?

We are between last week and next week!

Yep, it is a bug. We are looking into it.

I´m saving the German screens for next week! :-)

To answer your question Alan, a quote from Steve just a few posts up:
And remember guys, Modules are not designed to alter the basic game setting beyond the features needed for the new forces and general bug fixing (which happens regardless of Modules or not).So, in short, no.

Guys, expect to see some screens of German and Dutch infantry soon.
For the ones that missed the discussions on the other thread here is the link (scroll down half way through that page):

Interesting. What I knew was that the C7A1 was black with a standard/non retractable stock and iron sights. The C7A2 has a retractable stock, scope and green hand guards. Also an optional forward grip.
It´s not light green or bright green. It´s probably more of a dark, desaturated green in the version in use. The one I have in game is still too saturated.
However if you Goggle "Canadian C7A2" you will find a lot of bright green versions!
In this picture it looks almost black.

Germans screens coming next and then the Dutch.
I love the green camou of the Germans. The desert version is ok but they all end up looking the same. But we have to be accurate.
-
-
One minor note - looks like they green/grey out the flag id's on the uniforms.
I´ve seen that. I´ve seen pictures of both that and the traditional flag in red and white.
I wasn´t really sure what the black and green flag was there for so I decided to go with the traditional one.

Well, everything is work in progress until the module is released.
The Leo C2 is accurate from all the references and the info I have. It has a MEXAS kit "made of thick composite plates that fill in above the road- wheels while extending the turret sides, hull and glacis plate."
It can use more dirt and sand though. All those green vehicles don´t look green once they get to the desert!
The C-7 colors, again, follow the references I have. The green does stand out in a sand environment though. I´m still looking into this.
In the background is a Leo 2A6M. It has extra mine protection and bar armor.

Here are some Canadians!

Three campaigns that focus on the forces of each of the countries. However there might be some missions where several countries collaborate. Specially single missions.

I´ve had the soldiers in green camou and that´s how they are in the game right now. However this is not correct. I´m in the process of changing that to desert camou now. I´m hoping another week and I´ll be done with it. I´ll post the screens then.

We need more screenshots for you to prove it!
Anything specific you would like to see?
-
-
I can assure you it´s been worked on. We actually have made some good progress this week.

My own vote would be for a fixed ammo dump for use by Syrians, or at least a GAZ jeep, pickup truck and/or taxi with spare RPG rockets and rifle ammo in the back for resupply. But an (unarmored) Syrian truck would be nice too.
I think a lot of people would vote for that. Me included!

Thanks Lee!
Hope you had a Happy Passover also.
As for the TO&E. We are getting there.
-
-
You should see an official page for the module soon. We are still working on TO&E though, so no final list of vehicles yet.
-
-
It would be nice to have a campaign including everything, from US, Marines, UK and all 3 NATO countries. Obviously this would allow us to include all the new Red units also.
However, like Mark pointed out, this would delay release quite a bit.
Steve has mentioned though that there will be some surprises for the Red side.
We are working on TO&E and campaigns now. Hopefully we´ll be able to post more news as the work progresses.

Hey Bolteg,
There are at least 8 scenarios in the UK module that have their names starting with:
UK H2H. Not to say that others are not good for H2H but those 8 were specifically designed with that in mind!
Also from their titles you have a good idea of the kind of forces involved.
Hope that helps

First NATO screenshots are here!
in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Posted
We are planning to release something new on the NATO page on a regular basis.
Next week will probably be some info/images regarding the AT assets. After that probably the Dutch soldiers. I´m still doing some work on them.
