Merry Christmas all!
-
Andrew, those are some awesome mods! Now if only my copy of CMAK would get here.
-
Awe-inspiring work guys!!! Can't wait to plug 'em in. Thanx for all the work.
-
Andrew and Limey, heaps of thanks for the great Humber. That was the last one I needed to finish my British and Commonwealth vehicles. I just installed it and it looks great!
-
If you lived up here, you'd buy water too. The stuff that comes out of the taps, strongly resembles the fetid waters of the Cesspool. (not that I'd really know, I'm scared to go in there.)
-
Downloaded, installed, and looking awesome. Huge kudos to you Ed.Thanks for the great mods.
-
Awesome! Will it have all kinds of CMMOS goodies?????!!!!!
-
Got CMBO, CMBB, and the CMAK demo, in right now. Will have all three as soon as the full version arrives.
-
I've only seen the demo, so I can't speak for what's in the full game. I'd really like to see more markings on the U.S. vehicles in Italy and maybe some of the two tone camo jobs some Ameican armor used in that part of the world.

Thanks John, I got your mail with no problems. As far I know the only attachment limits I have are the usual one imposed by Hotmail.

Hi guys, Splinty here. I'm currently deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Army and although I have some access to the Internet, I don't have the access to download any thing, so I thought I,d ask for a little help. I have my trusty copy of CMBO with me and was able to burn most of the mods I have to disk so I can play on my laptop with the game looking as I like it. But I missed a few of my favorites. Could some be kind enough to E-mail some of these mods to me? I'm looking for:
Sherman Fireflys, CMMOS
Ram Kangaroo CMMOS
Andrew TF's allied uniforms
Andrew TF'sCromwell CMMOS
GEM's Jagdpanther CMMOS
Fernandos Pz234 Mono and Bi color CMMOS
Nashorn and Hummel (CMMOS or not)
and Andrew TF's M24 Chaffee
I'm sure I'll think of more but in the meantime these would be excellent. Many profuse thanks in advance; Splinty2001@hotmail.com

Although not relevant to CMBB the Germans did mount the 37mm Flak on the Mobelwagen. However only about 250 of these vehicles were manufactured and saw combat in the West.Originally posted by Aloicious:Why not mount the Flak version in an AFV? Aside from the Ostwind. Or is it the Wirblewind that mounts the 37?
And yes, that did help thank you very much. [/QB]

Hi again,
In answer to 1F: Exactly.
As far as 2F goes, maybe he did play the bugle in garrison. That's only a guess.
As far as the armorer goes in the modern Army the answer would be both. The armorer is a supply specialist who has additional training in weapons repair and maintainance.
4F: Commo IS short for communications. The signal section usually consists of the signal Sergeant and a couple of those additional EMs attached to the H.Q. Platoon.
5F, The messengers were both radiomen and runners for the Platoon Leader.
-
To expand a little further on the rank vs. appointment question, a First Sergeant usually held the rank of Master Sergeant, as did a battalion or regimental Sergeant Major.Another type of appointment was the position of platoon sergeant, which was held by a person with the rank of technical sergeant.(although the chronic personell shortages experienced by the U.S. Army often placed the most experienced NCO in the platoon in that job regardless of his rank)Also in the U.S. Army Staff Sergeant IS a rank between Sergeant and Technical Sergeant,(Sergeant First Class in todays Army.)Staff Sergeants were the normal rank for a Squad Leader.

I would recomend getting CMMOS 4.03 and all of Gordon Moleks mod sets for it.
-
I'd love to give it a shot. You can send it to Splinty2001@hotmail.com
-
The damage effects look great to me!
-
I use it(DX 9),no problems in CM, and IL2 runs better than ever!
-
I believe the winter Sherman packs cover all of the Allied armor.
-
Yup,units in CMBO can go fanatical as well.
-
Have you looked into getting CMMOS? That's about the only way I have of seeing what's installed and what's not. At this point my own CMBO is modded pretty much how I like it. I use CMMOS to switch between the various mods for different nationalities on the allied side. My German mods are pretty much how I'd like them. Go to www.Combat Mission HQ.com and check out what they've got, there's some really breathtaking stuff there.

I assume you're talking about the mods for the North African Campaign etc.? If so keep in mind that the mods will only affect the appearence of the game, not the performance of it. As far as I know you can play the new scenarios without using the mods. But, if you use the mods ALL of your CM will look like the mods. IOW if you play one of the scenarios that came on the original CMBO disk with the DFDR mod installed it will look like the desert. If you play one of the DFDR scenarios without the DFDR mod installed it will look like Western Europe.

Sweet! I have a thing for Bi-coloured panzers!

Very nicely written, almost as involving as the game itself!

One reason that Western tanks have stuck to the 4 man crew is that the Russian auto-loaders ahve a tendancy to try to load the gunner. Ouch!
