I will attempt to do this today if I can work out how it's done. Any advice from someone who has created a CMMOS file would be appreciated.Originally posted by benpark:Good Gawd, that is amazing! This MUST be CMMOS'ed!

You need to download a program called WinAce (it's like winzip) and decompress the .ace file. A quick search on Google will find it for you.Originally posted by benpark:I unzipped the file and it is an .ace ("reichstag.ace") file-no .bmp's. Any ideas/ help appreciated.

Ever wanted to recreate the final battle at the Reichstag in Berlin? Well with some artistic license and this mod, now you can.
The files you need can be found at the Combat Mission Modification Database (cozog).
This mod is not for the faint hearted. It's a large file (10mb) and a bit of a pain to install and uninstall. Due to in-game restrictions it replaces many of the tall buildings with Reichstag files and so needs to be uninstalled when you want to play a different scenario. But at the moment it's the only way to play the battle until new building models are included in some future patch (subtle hint to Battlefront
).Enjoy!

Okay, I've got a bit of time today to tinker some more with the images. I'll try and widen the zig-zag trench and see what I can do with the craters too.
Thanks for the feedback.

One of my T-34/85s was racing down a sloping road when it received a fatal hit. Its momentum allowed it to continue for some distance before it eventually careened off the road and ran straight into a house leaving only half the tank visible. The owner was an old Babushka who rushed out of the ruins and started attacking the dazed survivors with her broom.
It just amazes me how true to life this game can be.

Under what circumstances will your troops target enemy troops beyond their set cover arc?
This happened to me recently when my squad decided to target an enemy squad in a house about thirty meters or so beyond their set arc. Should this happen?

Why not try running a strategic (read operational) game from something like the Art of War that gives a detailed list of units within a major formation that can then be transposed into a CMBB battle when two opposing major formations clash? Every turn in your operational game could potentially result in many tactical (CMBB) games.

Crikey! :eek: He's even playing with the historically correct German objective flags!

Well done. Thanks for the effort!

I just played a QB set in 43 where a 57mm gun disable one Tiger (gun hit) and took out another (side turret hit). :eek: Must admit I was pretty amazed, but there you go.

Looks nice. You might want to crop the mission details from your images though, for the sake of those who have yet to play the scenario.
-
Great work.
For those looking for the mod, be aware that it's located under Armor/Terrain, rather than Germany.

So is my trench mod and new alternative main screen!
-
It was designed for XP.
-
It's on its way (zipped file about 150k).

I've thrown together a CMBB screensaver and need someone (one or two people at most) to test it out for me and somewhere to host. If you want to try it out, leave your email address and I'll send it to you. The file's about 350k.

Only Iraqi reviewers give 100%.

Excellent!
Now if you can make a screensaver out of that, you'll have made my day

LOL!Originally posted by Epée:My sturmtiger has that many kills just tooting his horn on the battlefield.

Was on the receiving end of cannister today for the first time. A T-34 took a shot at my ten man squad in light woods from about 30 meters away and then... Well, let's just say they probably could have used a shoe box to collect the remains.
Historically accurate or not, I'm glad it's been incorporated into the game. Next time I'm in that situation I'll either try and take it out from a greater distance or use that fancy "withdraw" command for the first time.

Very nice looking mods. Too bad they're on yahoo and in rar format. If they're ever hosted on a CMBB site in zip format, I'll definetly download them.

I hope to have a CMMOS version available sometime today. At present, however, I'm having a few problems getting a ruleset to display a restore default icon.
The new CMMOS version will still be archived with WinAce simply because it reduces files to half the size WinZip does (in this case 10mb vs 20mb).
