[Aus. War memorial el alamein area topo map]

Hi, have you got also the southern side of the front?

That ones where the british 44 Div faced with the italian Folgore during the operation Lightfoot (25 oct 1942).

It would be interesting to design a scenario in CMAK.

thank you

[Modding Folgore helmets]

I am encountering a lot of problems when I try to change those wrong colonial helmet assigned to the italian paratrooper in North Africa by CMAK. I have a photo of the Folgore (paratrooper) at El Alamein in which is clear they didn't wear the typical colonial saharianan helmet.

Seems that for all the italian troops in NA the CM engine use the same shape (like a bell).

Someone know how is possible tho implement this mods?

[CMBBdb updated.]

You are right! I get confused

In the past I visited your CMAKdb and uploaded some

picture.

[Crusader]

I can suggest "Bir el Gobi - the trap"

look fot it at the TPG.

[CMBBdb updated.]

I am having some problem.

ie when I go to Italiy and clik on armor/medium tank

I see only the L6. The same for the infantry (only three kind) and so on.

Befor the update I could see all the units without problem!

However is an excellent site. Congratulation

[Recommend Me a Desert Scenario]

You can try "Bir el Gobi - the trap" at

http://www.the-proving-grounds.com

It is an historical, but quite balanced scenario,

that depict a British-Italian ME near Tobruk.

It is challenging when played Allied vs AI

[A Mod with 144 BMPs???????????]

Very beatiful Aristoteles and seems pretty realistics too. Your technics are similar to the ones used to paint the plastic models in 1:72 or 1:35. Are you a medeller?

Well done work.

[Question on the Italian Armour school]

[Exit scenarios]

Just in time.. I have posted today at the Proving Grounds such a fight & withdrawal scenario called

"AOI-rearguard at Cheru'".

There are some units eligible to exit and some not, flags and an exit side. If someone could test it ..

Thanks in advance.

[Finally a Montecassino operation ..]

Thanks Runyan99,

Yes, the area was almost completely flooded so I thougth to use fords and marsh. However there are some paths that vehicles can follow to cross the valley. I would represent the diffuculty that the armour found to get the river .

I will take in account you suggestion.

[Finally a Montecassino operation ..]

.. is available at the http://www.the-proving-grounds.com

It could seems too heavy and oppressive ..

rain, mud, marsh, flood, a greyish landscape, a desert of fortified mountains .

But that was what the US Army found in january 44.

Here some picture to give you an idea.

[er... why not Cassino?]

Montecassino1stbattle_op is now at the Proving:grounds. Any comments is appreciated.

thanks

[er... why not Cassino?]

Hey synchro, I am just designing an operation that cover the first battle of Montecassino , those that start the 24 jan 45 and was fought by the 34th American infantry division. My source is the book "Cassino, Portrait of a Battle" written by Fred Majdalany. The plot is an advance in open space in the flooding valley of the rapido river an then the attack of the fortified position of the hills at north of Montecassino. It was very hard for the allies .

In my plan it will be composed by 6 battle and the whole map cover a square of 2,5x2,5 Km at the north of Cassino in the Rapido valley. I am quite satisfied of the map, it look very realistic but the debugging of the operation take me a lot of time. Before to get it available at the proving grounds I would appreciate any help in this stage, the work is heavy, so if someone is interested I can send my file to share whit him the development

[Why is this forum so happy?]

Really, I have seen recently some thread against Italians, the Pope and so on ..

However I have to admit that this forum is more cerrect than others (for ex IL2 , a game that I love).

[Terrain question for Italian friends]

The church are always in the center of te village bat the cemetery often are far away (except the villages in AltoAdige/SudTirol were was attached the curch). In the 40s there was not highway anywere in Italy. The street between the mid/big town was in asphalt but all the other wasn't.

Usually the railway station was in the center.
