What about a full-scale assault of Target-Reference-Points against a single roadblock. Just wonder how long it could stand that threat. Marcus ------------------ Alle Maschinen voraus Große, Ruder hart Backbord. Neuer Kurs wird Zwo-Eins-Null.

Actually this sentence doesn't exist in German - only parts of it. "den Teufel f..." could be translated as "f..k the devil" "Ich schere mich (einen Dreck um ...)" could be (roughly) translated as "I really don't care about ...) Hope that helps Marcus ------------------ Alle Maschinen voraus Große, Ruder hart Backbord. Neuer Kurs wird Zwo-Eins-Null.

Regarding "Fighting Steel": You may have a look at the add-on "Fighting Steel in the North Atlantic (FSNA)" which is a free add-on for FS and adds a strategic campaign for that basically tactical game. It can be downloaded here: http://www.german-navy.de/fs_fsna.htm Marcus ------------------ Alle Maschinen voraus Große, Ruder hart Backbord. Neuer Kurs wird Zwo-Eins-Null.

109 Gustav, When you try to click the link to the 250_8.zip (above), you should get an unfriendly "We're sorry, but this page is currently unavailable for viewing..." from Yahoo/Geocities. I encountered that problem first when I posted my 3D-faces set and others replied that the link didn't work. Therefore the trick with pasting the URL. You won't get such a message when you link to a picture - so you can use Geocities for posting pictures in this forum. Marcus ------------------ Alle Maschinen voraus Große, Ruder hart Backbord. Neuer Kurs wird Zwo-Eins-Null.

Nice work. He're some clarifications regarding translation: page 3) HDv (Heeresdienstvorschrift) 469/4 Anlage: annex to army manual 469/4 4) Seitenvorgelege: they're not the skirts, but the part of the transmission behind the front wheel (Das Seitenvorgelege ist das Getriebe, welches hinter dem Kettenantriebsrad an der Panzerwanne angebracht ist) 8) Sperre -> (stop) correct translation 18) Mündungsschoner -> muzzle brake, here used literally as a synonym for a simple soldier 19) Sonst kriegst die Deckung Du nicht mehr : Otherwise you won't get cover (early enough - before boooom) 22) Drum kann er Dich - so now he can kiss your a$$. (short form of a famous qoute from Goethe's "Götz von Berlichingen") Hope that helps Marcus [This message has been edited by mike8g (edited 01-11-2001).]

Nope, I've tried several times with different browsers. The file seems to be corrupted. Bad Luck. Marcus

Hi Jess, as Juju metioned there is one verson available at a site of the CM webring. Here ist the URL: http://CMarray.homestead.com/cmarray.html Hope this helps Marcus

First of all, I want to thank you for all your efforts in improving this game with your great artwork. Continue that way. Regarding your last mod, the Wespe/Marder III, I have a question: You've changed bmp #3720 from five to four wheels. Concerning my resources, I think the wespe did have five wheels, because it's based on the Pz II chassis. Here are two pictures: Details can be found here: http://www.achtungpanzer.com/wespe.htm With regards Marcus

A couple of days ago, a new set of SdKfz 250s halftracks was posted on Madmatts CMHQ. Unfortunately there were no textures for the 250/8. (files 3520-3527). Here is a quick-made 250/8 (WH, dark tricolor) as a gap-filler until the author of the set, Fernando J. Carrera Buil releases his own version. You can get it here: http://www.geocities.com/mike8g/250_8.zip (If this link doesn't work, copy and paste the URL into a new browser window) Clarification: The set of 250's is made by Fernando J. Carrera Buil. Since I only reshaped/repainted some of his textures for the 250/8, full credit for this mod must be given to him, not me. Happy new year Marcus [This message has been edited by mike8g (edited 12-26-2000).]

Yep, there must be something wrong. The forum selection screen says (sometimes) that the CM forum contains 0 topics with 0 posts (!). So, who has stolen all the PENG threads ? Marcus

If I remember those latin lessons correctly, the quote was "Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant". Rough translation: Greeting to the Emperor. The death-doomed are saluting you. (Spoken by the gladiators in the arena) Marcus

Old Dog, the textures from the 3D faces set were taken from a 3D shooter. In fact, they were an Easter Egg. The programmers coded their photos into the game as optional textures. I took those textures, cut them to parts, mixed the whole stuff and put them back together. Meanwhile, a subdued/toned-down version of the set is available from Toms Combat Mission Homepage: http://home.germany.net/101-77027/CM/scenarios/mbtf.zip With greetings Marcus

Mord, check your e-mail. I've sent you that file. Marcus

Well I can't help you with that particularly unit designation z.b.v.800, but I can clarify the meaning of Z.b.v.: This abbreviations stands for "Zur besonderen Verwendung" which means "for special purpose". So it must be some kind of special or commando-like unit. Marcus ------------------ Kompanie STILLGESTANDEN, Rechts UM, Im Gleichschritt MARSCH !

Well, as a little surprise for them, I cut the soldiers beer and food supply in half. Hmmm, now the DON'T smile anymore.... As requested, I removed the smile from some faces.

I've painted some new soldier faces for the 3D display of the squad and crew members. If someone is interested in those files, just make a short reply. (Files will be given to Madmatt for his CM HQ). With greetings Marcus (mike8g)
