A bunch of maps of Ukraine I have made over the years

This map is great! Please post the others. -
Where are the Goumiers in djellaba?
Rokossovski replied to mjkerner's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Very kind of you, but I already tried that establishment almost 371 years ago, and found the shave to be . . . excessive. Pro tip I learned: do not frequent a barber who uses an axe. By the way, isn't Whitehall very near Westminster Hall? I believe your hairstyle was seen there for many years (displayed on a pike, if memory serves). -
Hats off to the BFC crew; another great new title. My favorite added feature: a tie between the French and the Indian Army. (And I love that both have different uniform options to toggle between). Thank you for bringing us such a content-rich multi-module Italian campaign!

Where are the Goumiers in djellaba?
Rokossovski replied to mjkerner's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Goumiers were noted in the 2015 Christmas Bones thread as expected to come in the Rome to Victory module thusly: "The following services will be added: British Indian Army, South Africa, French Expeditionary Corps (including Moroccan Goumiers), and Waffen-SS. Of course, existing services will be filled out with all of the new formations that have been created for other Combat Mission titles since the last Fortress Italy module released: Gebirgsjäger units, Luftwaffe Field Divisions, flamethrower units, etc. All currently existing formations will be updated to 1945 TO&E. Also: US Mountain units. " (Emphasis added). The full thread is here: There was a screenshot, but I took it to have been associated with the Indian Army rather than Goumiers. Naturally BFC is free to cut potential features as they see fit for technical reasons or any other reasons. I'm not intending to complain. I located and linked to the prior thread simply because I wanted to confirm I wasn't imagining my recollection that Goumiers were once expected to appear in the module. (Long before the thread that started a couple of weeks ago). -

Thank you for the update Elvis! -
Perfect. I'm glad you caught that and ran with it. We don't get enough 17th Century humor around here.

Turkish Leopard 2A4 mod preview
Rokossovski replied to MikeyD's topic in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods
I'll bet you're right. I hadn't seen the thread about the -- apparently still in progress -- creation of CMMODS IV. (I found it after reading your post). Evidently nothing new is being posted on CMMODS III while the new site is being set up, so I'll just keep my fingers crossed that the Turkish mod will appear when CMMODS IV is unveiled. Thanks for the tip! -

Worth a shot. @MikeyD, we have not forgotten the Turkish mod, and we still cling to hope that it will be released. Bootie mentioned above that he would be willing to assist in getting it posted to cmmodsiii if that remains the problem. I would offer to help too, but, um . . . well, frankly I'm pretty much useless. -
I'm not sure if you're supposed to pet them . . . That kind of behavior could be what brings on the Space Lobster invasion. (At least according to the leaked draft of BFC's S.L.O.D. backstory).

It's brilliant! I could really use some alternative Syrian textures for red v. red scenarios. Please release it! (Soon ). -

Oooohh. Clever! I'll have to try to winterize my CMSF2 a time or two. -
New Game Suggestion US vs China
Rokossovski replied to kilorocky's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
The Chinese could get involved in a conflict on the Korean peninsula. It's happened before . . . The problem of course being the BFC's previously mentioned un-hoped-for reputation for accurate prophesy. -
I had dismissed that possibility because I wasn't using any voice mods. So I went to remove all mods, and discovered that, yes, there was a voice mod in there I had forgotten about. Oops. I removed the voice mod, and now there is no more issue. Thanks for the nudge, LukeFF. Have a +1. That stated, the (admittedly smaller) difficulties concerning Syrian uniforms I mentioned in my initial post remain. I also spotted one more: the reserve Self-propelled ATGM platoon crews have standard uniforms, rather than the reserve uniform -- except for the crew of the HQ vehicle, which has the correct reserve uniform.

I've noticed a few more CMSF2 bugs to address. The first I hesitate to mention because I would think it would have been noticed before -- making me wonder if it is only a problem on my machine. The problem is that when I descend to ground level when watching replays, U.S. Army soldiers insist on referring to each other as "Marines." Lots of "Lets go, Marines!" and that sort of thing. I had been under the impression that the Army and Marines were intended to have separate sound files in-game. If so, then Marine sound files have infiltrated the Army's defenses. (At some cost to immersion). A second issue concerns the truck mounted units assigned to the Syrian Airborne forces. (Those trucks mounting machineguns and anti-aircraft guns and so forth). The truck crews have been issued standard Syrian uniforms, rather than the specific "Airborne" uniform -- except for the crews on the HQ trucks for the "Heavy Machinegun Platoon [truck]" and the "Air Defense Platoon [truck]" which have the correct Airborne uniform. (The other three non-HQ truck crews in each platoon have different and incorrect uniforms). The difference between the standard Syrian camo uniform (such as worn by regular mechanized infantry) and the uniform of Airborne units is a subtle in vanilla, but if you are using mods to make the Airborne units visually distinct, (as I am) then the difference becomes obvious and the incorrectly assigned uniform files become more of an issue.

Ah . . . apparently that has been a challenge recently as well. I don't have contact information for him. Since Combatintman tagged him I suspect he'll be along in a bit (Bootie is in the UK, so he may have gone to bed by now).
-
Bootie has posted a video with instructions for the (apparently new) method for uploading videos to CMMODS (See page 5 of the thread attached below). It doesn't appear that anything has actually been successfully uploaded there since December 19th, so no guarantees . . . I'm really hoping this will get resolved, because there are a number of folks with great looking mods that appear to be stalled while technical issues with uploading are worked out. (And I have a scenario nearing completion as well).

Oleksandr's Modding Space for CMSF2
Rokossovski replied to Oleksandr's topic in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods
MikeyD's latest post on the Turkish mod thread indicates he is still having trouble uploading. It doesn't appear anything at all has been uploaded to CMMODS since December 19th, which seems strange. -
