Wow Bob, that's the most precise arty strike I've ever seen!

Ever been to Kuwait? The desert there is about as majestic as a McDonalds drive through. It's incredibly hot, dry and dusty.Originally posted by arax3:I love the desert, the sea, the mountains, the deep woods, the ice pack, all spendid for their awesome silence and granduer. They all bring one closer to God's majesty. A3

No problem, I just had to go from my laptop to my PC myself.

All you need is the current game file. CM will fill in the other information from the game engine.

A little late answering here, but the Pak 43 crowd had it right. At least that's the first thing I guessed when I looked at it.

CMBB,CMAK,(of course),CoD, IL2 Forgotten Battles,Homeworld 2, and Hidden and Dangerous 2. O.K., O.K., I confess I play alot of Battlefield 1942 too.

If you haven't given 'Battle for the Reichstag' a go it's a whole world of hurt just waiting to be enjoyed. (Shameless plug)

Does that mean instead being cheap mod sluts, we're all going to become high-priced mod whores?

I've spent alot of time in the desert, (Iraq, Gulf WAr 1)and I have to agree it sucks. I would also agree that you need to spend alot of time at Level 1 view so's to find all those little hummocks and dips in the ground to use as cover/ hull-down positions. The dips can be good for guns/ MGs too.

"I read somewhere the U.S. military credits about half of all U.S. combat deaths in Iraq to RPGs. A suprisingly high percentage, considering."
True, but keep in mind that most of those casualties were riding in soft-skinned HMMVWs and trucks.

I don't know how relevant this is to CMBB, but in an American tank company both the Co. XO and the Co. 1SG, (Der Spiess to the Germans, and the Co. Senior Sergeant to the Russians)rode with the company trains. The 1SG handled "beans and bullets" and the XO took care of the company's organic maintainance units along with acting as liason with higher level maintainance and recovery units.
If the CO was put out of action, then the XO would take charge of the fight. The 1SG wouldn't get directly involved the fighting unless all the officers in the Co. were out of action.
At the platoon level the Platoon Leader and the Platoon Sergeant always rode in separate vehicles so that the Plt. Sgt. could take command of the platoon as needed.

Excellent mod! I just took a look at it on my PC and it looks fantastic! I miss the great variety of Sherman mods that were available for CMBO and would love to see the rest of the series in black and green camo. Not to be too greedy would you comsider the Khaki and O.D. camo the Americans sometimes used in Italy as well? Pretty please with H.E. on top?

Hi all,
Just a note for all you guys looking for German winter mods for CMAK. The non-CMMOS winter mods from CMBB WILL work in CMAK. I've been playing the Ardennes-DeSobry op for CMAK with CMBB winret German mods installed for the last week now. I've been loading CMBB mods into it as I go and so far they've all worked.
Great work on the Axis minor mods Dey, been getting your stuff for the past couple of days and it's all good. :cool:

Once again, I give up more hard drive space to your great work Andrew, Thanks fro the great mods.

By the current U.S. Army doctrine, there are dedicated FAC's from the BN level on up.Originally posted by JonS:Sorry, I meant this book.
Don't know about FACs in the Cold War, though I do suspect they would have made their way forward. There are, however, two points, both related to the US worth picking up.
Firstly, as has been bought up on any number of occasions, the USMC had, and has, a very integrated and responsive system of air support, which includes FACs right up at the company IIRC. While this is a very good system, it is something that few other militaries seem to have copied.
Secondly, the USAF (and the RAF to be fair) as an institution were never very interested in close air support. Wars would be fought and won, they believed, by big bombers carrying big nuclear bombs. Shortly after WWII the techniques and equipment for CAS were discarded, and had to be painfully rebuilt for Korea. Then they were discarded again, only to be rebuilt in Vietnam, and so on. Institutional resistance to the A-10 could be seen as a continuation of that tradition.

Andrew, you're just scary good sometimes.

Your stuff is already occupying some of my harddrive space. Very nice mods. Would consider doing a Sherman with the Italian Campaign Camo job?

Bloody gorgeous!!!

I love Kubelwagens! Sweet mod!

I played this one the other night as the Germans against the A.I. I loved it, what a fun scenario!
My buddy and I are going to TC/ICP it soon.
