Heh heh...little do you know, but I colaborated to replace all your open ground tiles with rocky tiles. Good luck avoiding my AT ambushes now you fiendishly clever opponent you.

MJO (Tom?), Thanks you so much. That definitely has helped me see the rocks much better. Thanks for taking the time to do that. I hope my opponent Wesriedau grabs this mod as well, or he may be in for something he is quite unaware of. Wes, you reading this? Chris

If you have that mod installed, could you send me that particular .bmp? Unfortunately, I have no idea what number that .bmp is.

Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and help out those of us looking for this type of mod.

Does anyone know of any mods for "rocky" terrain? If you do, please give me the location. If such a mod does not exist, I request that one of our resident mod gurus please create one. I'm playing a scenario with quite a bit of rocky terrain, and it's tough on these eyeballs discerning the rocky terrain from the clear terrain. Thanks in advance, Chris

And thus ended the Soviet experiment of one man tank crews.

Dang it Sergei, I can't figure out what grass mod this is either.

Well hey, page 33 of German Secret Weapons: blueprint for Mars Brian Ford, Ballantyne Books, 1969 there's a photo with the caption "Test firing a recoiless anti-tank gun". It looks remarkably like the Puppchen.

Your thread was worthless, but thanks for the snide sarcastic criticism...thats always helpful. I've been on the forum since the first game came out. I understand how it works, you tool. Frank </font>

Same problem here. Any idea where we can locate the vcl.60bpl?

Check out "Biltong's Campaign Rules" thread on this page.

Please email to me: chrisc1009@aol.com TIA, Chris

Hey, That's very nice, professional work! Good job. Chris [ February 07, 2003, 09:46 PM: Message edited by: Blackhorse ]

In light of Biltong's fine user campaign rules, it would be excellent if CMBB had some additional options. 1. The ability to import units from the final QB save. This option would be presented similarly to the import map function. By selecting import units, the units would be imported, but not the map. This would allow users to carry over units from one QB map to another. 2. The ability for imported units to have their ammo allocation set to the same level as established in the QB parameters. 3. A random unit select button located in the force selection screen of a QB. This button would randomly select a user defined point allocation of units from the selected force pool based upon user defined parameters. This would be a toggle that allows human selection and randomn selection to occur on demand on the same screen. 4. The ability for units in imported final saves of QB to have their ammo levels set to a user selected level. These, coupled with products like Biltong's rules may be just the right solution for the lack of a campaign in CMBB. [ November 16, 2002, 07:16 PM: Message edited by: Blackhorse ]

I would like a set of the rules. Please send them to ChrisC1009@AOL.com Thanks for expanding the original idea of this and making it better.

There's a Grossdeutschland mod floating around somewhere??? Big Bump.

The following Battle Drill is taken from FM 7-8 INFANTRY RIFLE PLATOON AND SQUAD and FM 7-92 THE INFANTRY RECONNAISSANCE PLATOON AND SQUAD (AIRBORNE, AIR ASSAULT, LIGHT INFANTRY). It is similar to the Canadian Battle Drill with the exception that it contains a bit more detailed than the 1954 document.

cough---campaign system---cough

Sytass, Received and installed. It is incredible. You are the Splash Screen master. Thanks! BH

Um, could you email?

Where is it available for download? [ October 20, 2002, 09:45 AM: Message edited by: Blackhorse ]

Sytass, My grandfather, my grandmother, and my mother also fled from East Prussia to Holstein. They lived originally in East Prussia in a town named Rehhof, now named Riejevo, Poland. The left their house on Januray 25th, 1945 and made the trek westward in one of the worst winters ever. They originally went to Danzig but thankfully avoided taking the Wilhelm Gustloff. They were in an open horse drawn carriage and eventually made it to safety. The family remained in Holstein until 1952. My Grandfather became the local veterinarian to farmers and was able to sustain his family that way. The family then moved to a home near Bad Rappenau. One thing I forgot to mention was that they stayed with relatives in Holstein. Relatives who are still there. I only know her as Tante Bertha. I'll have to find out her last name (it is not Wilhelmy) It may be Schramm... I recall her having a pig farm (I was young the several times we visited). It would be very interesting if members of your family knew or know members of my mother's family. Cheers, Chris [ October 13, 2002, 09:24 AM: Message edited by: Blackhorse ]

Both my uncles fought on the Eastern Font. The oldest was an Aufklarer in the 3rd Motorized Division from the beginning. He was wounded and evacuated prior to the encirclement of 6th Army. He was never able to rejoin his comrades and was subsequenty assigned to a regiment in Italy. He fought in the withdrawal from Italy, and then faced the Yanks on the Western Front. At war's end, he and his crew abandoned their Achtrad and walked to areas where they could search for family or friends. He was never captured or processed. It's a damn interesting story to hear him tell of the struggle to find kin folk after they had all been displaced. The youngest was an Infantryman in the 26th Dom Division. He was captured in 1943 outside Smolensk. My mother and her parents thought he was dead. In 1946 they learned he was alive. In 1948, he returned home to them. Both are still alive, and both are remarkable men. The youngest lived out a longtime dream of his a few years back. He swam the Volga. (He was a POW there and helped rebuild Stalingrad. I imagine the desire to swim the river was born during those days, as he never saw it while serving.)

What kind of grass is that?
