Hallo Grey_Wolf, schau mal auf Tom's Combat Mission Headquarter vorbei. (http://home.nexgo.de/tcmhq/German.html) In Forum kannst Du dann folgenden Eintrag finden (unter "Hilfe, wo bekommt man Combat Mission"): -------------------------------------------- Hallo , scheint wieder so , als wären die CM Pressungen in den USA schon wieder vergriffen , aber ich hab da was Nettes für Dich gefunden: Martin " Moon " aus Köln ( hat an der Entwicklung von CM mitgewirkt ) vertreibt das Programm ganz offiziell auch in Deutschland ! Mail ihn doch einfach mal an: martin@battlefront.com Die Bestellung klappt dann auch ohne Kreditkarte ! Gruß Tom --------------------------------------- Das hilft hoffentlich weiter, Marcus

Be sure to grab EVERYTHING from Marco Bergman , Gordon Molek & Fernando J. Carrera Buil. Just one word about their work: Outstanding ! Marcus

Now that Madmatt had finally hosted Marco's M8/M20 set, it's time to push our sweeties back into the garage. Thank you Madmatt (for curing us) Marcus

PawBroon, please help me. The disease is spreading. I'm infected, ohh, no! Too late.... I wonder what will happen if Fernando or Marco are caught by this sillymod virus. Marcus

Same problem here. Especially when trying to access the winter trucks. Seems to be a Netscape issue. I've no problems with IE. Marcus

I guess you've installed DeanCo's gunmetal interface mod. There was an issue with one of the files that came with it, rendering the landmarks unreadable. Meanwhile there's a font fix available. Have a look at the 30002.bmp. If it shows gold or orange letters instead of black, then you need to install the fix. Marcus

Sturmgruppe squads have one SMG per squad (like Motorized Infantry and Panzer Grenadiere) and two or three MP44. Therefore they do not fall under the SMG rule while Gebirgsjäger should. Their 10 men-squads have 7 SMG with them. Marcus

If I read those CAL rules correctly, SMG troops are not generally forbidden, but limited to a reasonable amount (3 platoons, which is still too much. 3 squads would fit better). Marcus

Here's the usage of the bmp's: 5002: US '44 army, left & right arm 5007: US '44 para, left arm 5042: US '45 army, left & right arm 5062: US '44 para, right arm (with flag) 5063: US '45 para, right arm (with flag) 5067: US '44 para, left arm Marcus

I've tried to contact him on June, 11th. No answer so far... Marcus

Peiper & Bruno, Yes, the uniforms are from DD's great uniform set. A comparison for easy reference: Marcus [ 06-11-2001: Message edited by: mike8g ]

Here's a quick preview of the SdKfz 7/1 and 7/2 set: They are many things to be done, like gun-shield texture, top and rear of the vehicle.

Peiper, I'm working on them this weekend. I have reworked my initial SdKfz 7 gun tractor release. It is now fully HiRes and has the correct star-like front wheel hubs. Same URL as above, 954 KB. Marcus

Panzerman, that's what I've said: no direct link (due to Geocities !) Paste the URL into a new browser window. RTFM Marcus

Okay guys, the first one (SdKfz 7 gun tractor) is ready: BTS original: improved version: (Fully HiRes - size 954 kB) **updated to version 1.1** Get it here: http://www.geocities.com/mike8g/sdkfz7.zip Important: You MUST cut & paste (or type) the URL into a new browser window, Geocities does not allow a direct link to it.

lcm1947, don't worry, this mod is just the result from a few hours work and is some kind of a first approach. There are many things to improve, like decals and camo schemes fitting the AA guns. I'll put further work into it this weekend. Panzer Leader: yes, Magua's buildings in Gunslingers subdued terrain. Marcus [ 06-08-2001: Message edited by: mike8g ]

Here a little Mod dealing with the SdKfz 7 gun-tractor and the 7/1 and 7/2 flak vehicles. I've taken the CM originals, put some dirt on it and finally added Fernando's tracks from his HT set. Here's the result: Just a preview at the moment, I'll plan to do the same with the winter variants. Credits: Tracks: Fernando Carrera Vehicle: BTS AA guns (from german_aa.zip): John S.

vs. Wolfpack: Completed with a total victory. Two Allied Hellcats fell victim to my deadly 75mm short barrel halftrack. The third Hellcat managed to rush through my defenses but was caught in an ambush set by a wounded Panzerschreck team. One German platoon sneaked through his flank and caused much trouble there. A Jeep MG was sent in to seal the leak in the defense, but drove right into the gunsights of my men and was toasted. A M3 halftrack and a M20 utility car tried the same, came under heavy fire, but managed to escape with crew losses. That M20 bogged down later and was abandoned, the same happened to another halftrack in the center of the map. The Allied platoons tried to gain positions but were shelled out of their buildings by concentrated 75mm HE fire and had to withdraw. After a last engineer platoon attack got caught in the open and was repelled, Allied forced surrendered immediately thereafter. vs. Arien: Quite early in the game: The center village is uncontested, but his forces managed to throw my platoon out of the woods with a full company. My forces were able to inflict some losses to his company with armored cars and artillery. vs. Boru: Not started yet. Nothing heard from him so far.

Two games started and running. Nothing heard from Boru so far, but I think his other opponents have the same problem. Marcus

PL, >REAR-END TEXTURE Are your using a mod-manager or batch files? In this case, there might be a problem with filenames or the nationality-attachments. If not, check the #3105 file with a paint-program. If it displayed correctly by your paint program, it will also be displayed that way by the game engine. >SKIRT-TEXTURE 1. Open Scipio's grating texture with a paint program. Make a selection of the pink fields only and copy them to the clipboard. 2. Open Fernando's skirt texture (#3106) with your preferred camo scheme and paste the pink field selection into it. Save it and copy the file to the BMP folder. That's it. Hope that helps. Marcus

Madmatt: Just two words regarding the Stuart mods: Outstanding artwork (once gain). But there's a small issue with two of the files. File #14432 (M8 HMC gun barrel) is missing in these sets: gem_swos_stuarts_hr.zip gem_sws_stuarts_hr.zip Marcus

The texture for the skirts is 3106.bmp Just tried that with the ambush version: looks great ! (Credits: Fernando Carrera for Panzer IV ambush scheme, Scipio for skirt grating texture) Marcus [ 05-28-2001: Message edited by: mike8g ]

Panzer Leader, The rear of the Panzer IV is the 3105.bmp file. It was included in Fernando's initial release(the non-mod compliant one), so if you still need it I can send it to you. Marcus

Cubes, Boru sent me an email some days ago, describing his (personal) problems. I won't quote it here, but he has sent it to 'Mensch' also. I will contact Boru today to get our game running. If I get an answer from him, I will tell him about your request. Marcus [ 05-24-2001: Message edited by: mike8g ]

Lars, I've made such a camouflaged helmet. I will send it to you via email. Marcus
