First class, as always! Makes winter scenarios even more enjoyable.
Can you tell us when your Waffen SS winter uniforms for the early period (especially winter 1942-43) will be finished, Andrew?
And yes, I know I'm a greedy, ungrateful dog.

Especially the Heer panzer crew looks great. Excellent job, thank you JorgeMC.
-
Thanks for your recommendations and the links to some great sites. I bought Angolia's book (in German, which is no problem for me, since I speak it) and the books by Nigel Thomas and Andrew Stevens.
Truppenführung and Michael, thanks for your help.
And you have a very interesting site there, Michael, my compliments.

We few, we happy few...As he says CMBB is for special people who aren't into a click fess. -
What are the best books about German army and Waffen-SS uniforms/equipment? I would like to buy some, but would like some recommendations first.
-
That should be; "Any chance on a set of etc." Sorry, didn't have my coffee yet...
-
Excellent job, Andrew, well done. Any change for a set of Waffen-SS winter uniforms (gray parka and white winter camo) for the winter of 1942/43?
And what are to your opinion the best books on German army/Waffen SS uniforms? I want to buy some, but would like to pick out the best.

Although I appreciate and admire the people who put their time and effort in making those great whitewashed vehicles, I can't help feeling a bit frustrated about the lack of winter uniform mods for CMMOS. Just an ordinary, white winter uniform for all troops available (including Waffen SS and Russians) for all periods. Let's face it, it should have been included in an eastern front game in the first place. This may sound ungrateful to those people who gave us this wonderful game and all those great mods, but it isn't meant that way.
-
Your new early-war Waffen-SS winter uniform (especially the grey one) looks very good, Andrew, well done.
Only one question. I've noticed that the winter of 1942/43 is not included in the early period and since I'm a great fan of the battle of Charkow I would love to see Waffen-SS troops with white or grey uniforms for that period. Just a hint/request. Anyway, this mod is great. My compliments.
-
Is a simple white uniform for the Soviets also in progress? I know it has been made for the late period (set 2 of MikeT) of the war, but not the early period (set 1 of MikeT). White uniforms were available even then, or at least white sheets were used, as the Germans did during the first winter in the east.
-
Problem solved. Case closed. Thanks for your help
-
Yep. I also tried editor made scenarios, set in January or February. It is a matter of just unzipping in the bmp file, isn't it?
-
I've downloaded Heer_Winterzip3 (winter uniforms), unzipped the white_heer zip file to my BMP of CMBB, but nothing seems to happen? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
-
560 pages. Looks like a great book. Thanks for the tip.
-
I wonder when snow uniforms for CMMOS will become available. Is anyone working on it and when is it expected to be finished? Now the vehicles are all white-washed the normal uniforms seem out of place in snowy landscapes. I understand it is a lot of work, but I'm just curious.

Soviet crap...

Not especially AFVs, but great side for Combat Mission fans

Bought both, practically at the same time and I'm playing both. I love the Normandy battles, so CMBO is here to stay. And CMBB, more advanced in certain ways, is also great (still waiting on winter uniforms for CMMOS though). As a matter of fact I hardly touch my other games anymore (with the solid exception of Steel Panthers and Medieval Total War). That says it all...
-
No SS Panthers at Kursk. The only unit that used Panthers during Zitadelle was Pz. Rgt 39 with 200 Panthers (source; Die Deutsche Panzertruppe 1943-1945 by Thomas L. Jentz).

LOL!Ok Who left the gate open?

Nebelwerfer would be great too...

It is by far one of the most fascinating and dramatic episodes of the entire war in the east. Personally I think Wintergewitter only had a fair chance on succes when the 16th Motorized Division and possibly several units of the IIIrd Pz Korps had been taken part (in an early stage) in the operation, combined with a determined execution of Donnerschlag. If only Paulus had the courage to defy Hitlers stand-or-die orders, much would have been possible. The men and officiers of the German 6th Army were the tip of the spear of the Wehrmacht and proved in the bitter fighting, even after all hope was gone, that they could accomplish incredible things. The best book on the subject is of course "Bis Stalingrad 48 KM..." by Horst Scheibert. A good addition to that book is of course "Lost Victories" by Manstein. Finally Douglas E. Nash' superb book "Hells Gate', about the battle of Cherkassy, gives a good impression of what might have been, if Donnerschlag had taken place.
