[Beware there's a mod that conflicts with 1.01]

Actually, for me, it ended up being Vin's Animated text causing the issues with combat commands for my armor. Once I removed the folder, everything appears to be ok.

[Beware there's a mod that conflicts with 1.01]

Yeah, something is definitely conflicting. I could still choose a vehicle, but the combat commands were all messed up. The clear target command kept giving me a smoke crosshair.

Great mod! I was able to use it combined with Vein's German uniform V2 mod in RT, I just had to rename some of the files.

For some reason though, using the same combination in Market Garden, your mod doesn't show up.

Any known issue with MG module?

[CMMODS - funding plea]

Just donated $20. I'll donate more next month. Thanks for keeping the site up!

Great pic!

Of course I get my email just as I get to work. Dah!!!

Thanks guys.

JoMc,

I do realize that fire form that range is not going to be effective, but since I had nothing but a general idea of where he was shooting form, I figured at least putting some rounds at the building couldn't hurt. The squad does have a .30 as well, but he didn't engage in that particular turn.

Womble,

Didn't think about recalculating the turn. Will try that and see what happens.

[Eagle eye machine gunner]

So I'm in the second battle of the MG campaign and I have a squad prone in an open field beginning to lay down area fire on a building some 600+ yards away. There are 2 BARs in the squad and as each lay down a burst of fire, they are immediately cut down by a return burst from the same direction they were shooting. Mind you there are 6 other men in the squad laying down between the two BAR's and no one else was touched. That's some sharp shooting machine gunning, I tell you.

In the same battle, I had a split squad of 5 men enter a building and as they enter the fight with some enemy from a few yards away, who are the two in the squad that get hit? The guy with the BAR and the .30.

Are they just more likely to get hit?

[MG's won't set up in buildings.]

I've noticed the same thing. I had one team in a building that wouldn't deploy after 4 minutes, but a second team that was in an open field deployed in one turn.

[Uncommon Valor]

Great pic. Yeah, flamethrowers a definitely a must for PTO...

[It will be nice]

I think he means the rolled up sleeves.

[This is a surprise!!]

Decals! Flames! Tank riders! I'm so happy....I can't think straight....

Take my money now!

[Flamey stuff]

Happy flaming!!!!!

[Did I miss something regarding Quick Battle Option in OMG?]

Was wondering why the British Airborne sections were named "Xylaphone". lol

[Did I miss something regarding Quick Battle Option in OMG?]

That's exactly what it was. Thanks so much!

Great sounds! The Sten and Bren really make replays sound like something from the Longest Day. My only critique is that the KAR and the Enfeld are a bit too loud. I think they need to be a bit more subdued like the Garand. The KAR sounds like a field gun.

Thanks for posting these.

[Whats your age?]

42. Been playing since CMBO.

[How bout some 2.0 reviews???]

So I'm noticing that airborne uniform mods are not working and scenarios and campaigns with airborne troops are not showing up with airborne uniforms. Am I the only one seeing this?

I love Vein's Airborne mods and playing Campaigns like Devil's Descent and the Outlaws, but is sucks when the right uniforms aren't appearing.

[Patch 1.11 for Battle for Normandy is out!]

Woohoo!! Christmas is here early!

[Shall try to start an unofficial screenshots thread?]

Aris' latest smoke and German mods in all their beautiful glory. It's a whole new experience....

[New file at the Repository: Aris Tracers (2012-11-29)]

Great stuff as usual sir. One minor request. Could you make a modified version similar to the C version of Veins tracers. They C version was shorter and thus made individual shots stand out more. When the tracers are long, machine gun burts start looking like straight lines rather than individual shots.

Thanks.

[Japanese Army Mods]

One thing I noticed. If you pick Assault and choose British Army as the attacker and American Army as defender, the icons for the Marines become the Japanese ones since it sees the British Army as Allied and the American Army as Axis.

Maybe if I choose the American Army as defender first and choose the German Army as Attacker and then switch to British army, the choice for Defender will be Allied.
