DrVonCool has made a nice collection on his website. Have a look here:
-
Another option are Voidhawk's Annotated Textures.
Just create another BMP folder with his "numbered" textures and switch it with the original when necessary.
Look here:
The printed numbers show the used BMP files. Additionally, the colors identfy the last digit in case the numbers are too difficult to read.

I'd like to second Bogdan's request for a "latest/recent" category - at least in each CM section.
Thanks for all your efforts !

Yes, a real mess.
I've corrected the BMP files on my PC.
I can upload them as soon as CMMODS allows uploads again.

Just checked:
MrNoobie's mod covers the early Su-76 which only available 2/43 to 3/43.
But you can easily transfer this mod into a Su-76m variant by simply renumbering the files
e.g. '7140.bmp' becomes '8200.bmp' and so on

1. Su-76i
Here's a link about it:
http://www.battlefield.ru/su76i.html
2. MrNoobie's mod
There are two Su-76 variants in the game: Su76 and Su76m.
Does the mod show up when you're choosing the other one ?
BMP ranges:
Su76: 7140 - 7159
Su76m: 8200 - 8219

Best quality you can get for Volkssturm in CMBO is "regular".
In CMBB, however, you can get all qualities.

Not in CMBO.
Only infantry, machine guns, Panzerschrecks and sharpshooters.
No tanks, no guns, no vehicles, no arty (except for fighter bombers (?!!))

All US tanks destroyed. Enemy platoon is almost routed. Auto-surrender is expected the next turns.
As mentioned above, this (fun) game doesn't prove anything.
With the knowledge of his force composition, I could use a selection and game speed his tanks couln't cope with. Defeat was inevitable.
Without that knowledge, Axis force selection and game speed might have been considerably different.
One lesson learned: Game results vs. the AI cannot be compared with results against human players.
TankAce's force selection is a good force in an armor or all-armor battle but has it's weaknesses against infantry.
According to his test results, this force has been victorious against any oppostion in a battle vs. the AI.
Thanks for the game, TankAce. Sure up for another

Three M1919 MMG and three Bazooka teams eliminated - one Chaffee downed by a PzFaust.
The left US flank has collapsed, shifting own units from there to support the attack on the US Rifle platoon.
Sherman Jumbo is immobilized and smoked by mortar fire, 3 Hetzers start encircling maneuvers.

The second M-10 was eliminated by an Axis Panzerschreck team.
The 'schreck used up all of its ammo for this kill. Gladfully the M-10 only responded with smoke shells...
The remaining US tanks, their infantry platoon and their MG positions have been located. My infantry is closing in...
Looks like as if this will turn into an Alamo-style battle soon.
Own losses so far: 23 men among all squads

As you've asked for..
Let me first second Adam L's opinion: one game doesn't prove much, it maybe shows a direction.
Unit selection in CMBO is something like playing rock, scissors and paper.
Depending on the choices of your opponent, your selection will either lead to glory or fail utterly.
Though unit selection is only one part of the game, playing it is the other. Adam L. is right here, too.
Even a "sure-win" force might run out of luck or get outplayed by the opponent player's forces.
My first idea for this game was:
Hey, buy all-infantry and "Swamp" him down !
The second idea was to get a Jagdtiger / Kingtiger combo plus infantry.
But that was way too easy,
so I decided against it and bought a force of some smaller Axis tanks, infantry, well, more infantry, Panzerschreck teams and an artillery spotter.
The game started with my infantry moving towards his positions. Two Allied tank destroyers were spotted immediately, one was hidden behind a house while the second one was in clear LOS to one of my tanks. Before it could turn around and return fire, a shell from my tank knocked it out.
Scratch on M-10 !

Well, unless playing on open ground, this tank force will certainly be defeated badly.
What about a test game ?
Axis attack vs. Allied defense, 1000 points, unrestricted force, human pic, Mar 45, all other options set to default.

Yes, the Ambush version was done by me.
Gordon and I then worked together to create other versions based on the ambush mod: plain yellow, tricolor, hasty and snowed. These versions were named GEM_jpziv...

Nevermind,
almost all tanks in the game have been winterrized.
Just have a look at the CMMOS section of CMHQ:
http://www.combatmission.com/cmmos/cmmos.asp
German tanks are available under "Winterfahrzeuge"
Russian tanks are available under "Zimniy Kamuflyazh"
The whole set was created by Gordon Molek. It's a simple whitewash-effect, but far better than nothing. Additionally there are many other winter mods available from different authors (Canon, Panzermartin, MrNoobie - just to name a few).
All available at the usual locations:
CMHQ - CMMOS section
CM Mod Database
Tom's TCMHQ

It has already been deleted from the location it used to be.
BTW, it was basically a darkened stock-CMBB texture.

Yes, have two mods on my HDD:
One from John "Tiger" S.:
kv1snathon9.zip (Sept 2002)
and one from Mr. Noobie:

Just checked:
9674: Romanian Mountain Platoon/Support - Set 2 Legs
9677: Romanian Mountain Platoon/Support - Set 3 (Allies) Legs

Sorry Andrew,Originally posted by AndrewTF:I don't know what the crew leg BMP is but it's definitely not 9760 or whatever. Actually, 9760.bmp is not in the set, but I know what you're talking about.
I skipped some rows and read the Hungarian entries.
Originally I wanted to mention file 9677 which is included in your set. Just curious what this is.
Btw, thanks for the quick update and (as usual) for all your efforts.

Andrew,
looks like as if files 9646 & 9647 are missing in the zip file.
BTW, one question regarding 9760:
MDorosh bmp list show it to be legs from "Crew Set 1".
As you have included it in your zip file, I suppose it is also used for other Romanian units ???
Marcus
Unit availability charts?
in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Posted
Rob,
IIRC, there was no unit availability change for tanks & vehicles in V1.03 so you can still use the V102 tables.
