I've looked everywhere, but can't find it. Has anyone ever made a winter mod for the Flammpanzer III?
-
Sorry, this post should be in the CMBB forum. Any reactions please there.

I've just installed them, jbertles. They sure look great and I'm looking forward to playing them. Thanks for your quick reply. And once more, what a great community this is...
-
Simovitch, I've received them and I do like them. Thank you for your fast reply.
-
Kingfish, thank you. I've downloaded Ritchie's battles, which are looking fine indeed. I also did sent Simovitch an email and requested him to send me a copy of his Elsenborn battle and others, if possible.
Richie, where can I find jbertles Bastognette and Bastognette Day 2?

Me too. Always a pleasure to find a new mod, especially made by one of the best. Thanks!
-
I've never cared much for the battle in the Ardennes, but recently I'm getting more and more interested. Can anyone recommend me some of the best battles/operations, especially handling the fighting around Bastogne?
-
They are excellent, David! Thank you very much. I would like to express my gratitude to you and all other people on this forum who in the past year gave us the benefit and pleasure of their mods and knowledge. I wish you all a warm and joyful Christmas. This site is important to me. May God be with you.

Yes, I normally remove scenarios like that immediately, unless the map is well made and can be re-used. To my experience scenarios like that are usually unplayable and unbalanced. I like big battles like George MC's Blowtorch-series, but also smaller ones like Panther Commanders KC-series. I also prefer scenarios with a historical accurate subject and details, not some crazy fantasy, like attacking a Gestapo HQ full of Nazi officials or other nonsense. Scenarios with a short or superficial briefing are also something I don't like. I also hate scenarios where the different units are mixed in a way that overview is nearly impossible.Originally posted by JasonC:Don't give me 48 kinds of rare and largely useless vehicles and mixed guns. Learn a little history and use realistic force composition, with plenty of one type only. A few of another type is occasionally realistic, more than that and you are in Hollywood, not on the eastern front.
I do like big, well-made maps, because I can use them to make my own battle, using lots of units, just for the sake of seeing it. It gives me a certain sense of being there. I know it isn't entirely fair on the scenario makers, but of course I wouldn't dream of doing something else with them than using them for my own pleasure/study. For gaming they are less suited sometimes (there are exceptions like George MC's masterpieces and recently Federoff's Wilkowitschken). For fast and intense gaming battles like Panther Commanders KC Lt Neumeyer are my favorite. But lots of talented scenario makers are around and make these games so special.

The screenshots are looking great, but I can't determine whether this mod will make CMETO look like Normandy even more. Does it? And if so, what are the improvements? I ask this because I'm curious and would like to install it, but first would like the opinion of those who already did.

Makes you realize how vulnerable we human beings are....
-
The site looks superb, George. And the scenarios that you and Charlie made/make are simply among the best CMBB has to offer. Thank you again for all your work and a merry christmas to you both.

Yes, Dey, your mods are getting more and more impressive. Very nice work. Thank you!
-
Looks very interesting indeed. Amazing what people lately can do with making maps. They keep looking better and better. Italy always has been my favorite holiday country
-
Nice series, Renaud. I'm especially looking forward to the Stalingrad period. Thanks for all your work.
-
Sounds like a nice mod to find under the christmas tree...
-
Yes, very nice, Navy, you most certainly have a skill to mod.
-
It sounds good, to my opinion.
-
I did have a close look at Peiper's Bridge at Kharkov and it is a masterpiece. The map is incredible. This is going to be fun!
-
Nice one, Navy, thank you. I especially like the weapon shield of the 26th Panzer. Nice detail. Keep them coming.

Definitely the greatest commander at sea!Originally posted by Erik Springelkamp:And at sea Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruijter successfully fought the combined French and Brittish fleets.
He established the tactics of large scale fighting in line that would dominate the sea-battles untill well after Napoleon.

Oranje boven, Erik!Originally posted by Erik Springelkamp:When we come down to 'decent' I would like to add Maurits of Oranje-Nassau and his brother Willem Frederik, for their 'scientific' operations and the first steps towards the introduction of fire-based linear infantry tactics, resulting in the establishment of a stable new republic in Europe.
Actually, after reading 'The Great Siege, Malta 1565', by Ernle Bradford, my choice for greatest commander would be Grand Master Jean Parisot De La Valetta of the order of St. John, whose gallant defence of Malta prevented a Turkish invasion of Sicily and Italy and possibly even Turkish domination of Western Europe.

Searching for a Flammpanzer III winter mod
in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

Yes, that is probably the best idea, John, thank you. However, if it is not available, I will replace the Flammpanzer III in the battle I'm playing with 251/16, which was the case in reality as well. But I will ask David first.
