I can't. I am too old and fat to turn my head.
 
Mord.

He's using the Steam version, so it has to go in the data folder. I'll repeat what I said to you on there.
For Steam you create a folder called "Z" (or "Z Mods" or whatever) in your data folder. Put your mods in that folder.

Will be found under Drive:/Steam/steamapps/common/Combat Mission Shock Force 2/data.

Jesus Christ...don't bring that sh*t here. There's twitter and tumblr and facebook and a thousand other places for the oppression olympics.
As for the question...THERE'S HUGE diversity, unless of course you think all "white" people are the same. We have Americans, Canadians, British, Germans, Russians, Ukranian, New Zealanders, South Africans,  French, Poles, Dutch, Italians, (along with skins for black and brown citizens of those nations where viable) as well as Brazilian, Syrians, Indians, Sikhs, and plenty of portraits for Maori, Gurkha, Goumiers, Algerians, Japanese Americans, Druze, Assyrian, Palestinian, and Shi'ite. Hope that's enough "diversity" for you.
EDITED: CMBB and CMAK also had Finnish, Romanians, Hungarians, and Australians.
Burn it before it lays eggs...

Traditionally Erwin has always gotten it wrong about the Early War stuff. He has a lot of wishful thinking. Somewhere along the line he got the idea the early Western Front was part of the plan. He's been corrected a few times but god, it's been 10 years, 7 titles, 8 Modules, 1 Battle Pack, 2 Scenario Packs, 3 Upgrades, and 200,000+ threads, so you can't expect him to remember all of it! BUT, BUT, BUUUUUUUUUT, to be fair, up until recently the plan was supposed to be BF working backwards until the East Front hit Barbarossa.
However, as we know with BF, plans change, especially when they say they aren't gonna do something. So it remains to be seen. But here's something to chew on, once FB gets its module, that is it for WWII. We all know they aren't gonna stop producing WWII content. So the question is, what will it be? Another title? Vehicle Packs? New nations? The mythical CM3?

Campaign Series: Middle East 1948-1985
It's mainly the Arab-Israeli War, but includes Britain, France, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Libya, Algeria, Syria and Lebanon. Eventually they are supposed to add an Iran Iraq dlc. It's a heavily updated version of the old Tiller Campaign Series. They are supposed to release Campaign Series Vietnam this year. You can find info on Slitherine/Matrix.
The other screens are Field of Glory I.

No. But it would be odd if you thought every wargame on the planet should look like that. Or it would be odd if they made that look a hundred times better than it does and you complained about it. It would be odd if you thought that was the height of what a computer should offer the genre.  But you are here, playing CM, so you obviously aren't the target of the rant.
 
Mord.

LOL. No. The first post,that quoted you, was a no...with caveats.
 
Mord.

LOL. According to your posts you've been gone for eight years! Unless you were lurking. Kinda makes sense why you don't understand what's going on at this point. If you'd just came to the site as a Newbie it probably wouldn't have been as confusing. You probably would've just bought the bundles.
Well, BN is gonna be on Steam after CW is released, then at some point FI, FB and RT, so yes, you'll have that option eventually.
 
Mord.

So, let me be a little clearer as I think a lot of my point got lost in my rhetoric/hyperbole and inability to explain it better, last night. I am not attacking hex-based games, nor operational level games, nor board games translated over to the computer etc. As I said before, there's room for all, and to each his own. I am attacking the stale notions that some wargamers still cling to (and you know you've seen these guys) that resist and oppose innovation and graphical enhancement because of some backwardass nostalgic loyalty to days gone by. Enjoying an operational, hex-based, wargame is not the same animal as dismissing everything else that isn't one. That's the main thing I am driving at. Ian's post just sent me into a rant that I have had brewing for a few years now. LOL

As I touched on above, CMBO was savaged by the faithful when it was first developing. How dare they step away from the top-down, hexagonal, turn-based tradition of true wargaming? Then as it matured and was released it grew into acceptance. People embraced this new style and it was lauded and defended for the most part, in most corners of the Wargamosphere. Then when the engine was exhausted they started developing the next gen. The second it was understood that CMx2 wasn't gonna be another abstracted 3D clone with some updates and a new coat of paint, the witch burning commenced by the very same people that defended it. They couldn't stand the 1:1 representation, the higher fidelity terrain, the concentration on more details and abandonment of abstraction. A lot of those guys hung around on a board for YEARS prophesying the demise of Battlefront.com. LOL It took so long they finally got sick of their own hate and quit.

Does anybody think that if Steve and Charles could've created BN in 2000 they wouldn't have? The thing that stopped them was the technology. I highly doubt three man squads was their idea of Wargaming Nirvana. And does anyone think that 1:1 infantry is just a frivolous eye candy addition to CM tactics? If you do, you haven't been paying attention to your battles.

Because there are still Boomer Luddites who'll say "I don't care what a game looks like as long as it plays well", followed by "Will it work on XP?" They have no foresight and a pathological inability to step outside of their comfort zone. You taste a meal with your eyes before it touches your tongue. We live in a time where you can have both great graphics and great game play, but if it were up to these dummies we'd still be looking at NATO symbols on a monochrome abacus, as long as it tracked how many buttons the fallschirmjäger lost in the arty barrage.
There were guys that wouldn't play FoG II because the maps used squares instead of hexagons. The squares actually allow you to maintain consistent lines, even while moving units. And instead of being able to attack and move in 6 directions, the code provides movement and attack in eight directions (utilizing the corners of the square). Objectively better in all ways. Screw that! I've been using hexagons since 1975, therefore REEEEEEEEEE! They even bitched because the models had animations! Then there was the collective pants pissing when CM dared not be everything that came before it. It irritates me, how much wargamers are their own worst enemies.
I play computer games because I don't want to look at an abstract symbol on a piece of card board, I want to see the little dudes, and tanks, or knights, or Romans or ships, whatever. I don't even mind a 2D, isometric, table top miniatures feel as long as the sprites weren't ported over from 1992. If JTS games would update their UI and graphics to about 2010 standards I'd be happy to purchase a lot of their 18th-19th Century gunpowder titles. Funnily enough they are working on a new engine and players are requesting they not change that Antediluvian tool bar abomination. Yeah, that'll help sell 10s of more games!
Do you know the fastest way to get me to put my wallet back in my pocket? Show me a square with a NATO symbol.
In the end, I guess it's a matter of taste, and there is room for all types, but that doesn't mean they should look like a pig fart. But if we didn't have developers that could see past Avalon Hill circa 1974. I probably wouldn't even be playing any wargames.

10-4. Thanks for helping him.

Perfect time to remind people (if they don't already do it) to create multiple copies of their license keys. I have a master email that contains all my keys. Every time I get a new game/module I open the email, hit reply, add the labeled key (Ex CMBS e5ty336...)to the email, and resend it to myself. I keep a Combat Mission folder on Yahoo where I put all of them. I also have a back up file on my comp just in case my internet goes out etc. So, between BF, my email, and my comp, I am pretty much covered. Keeping a copy on a thumb drive, portable drive or note book wouldn't be a bad idea either. The more places the better, I say.
