Help - Scratched CD no good for Re-install
junk2drive replied to Kozure's topic in Combat Mission - Tech Support
Did you turn off / disable your anti virus before installing? Try installing the patch, maybe it will overwrite the exe files. -
1:1 Representation in CMx2
junk2drive replied to David Chapuis's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
I have CC2 and CC5. I got too old for them. I tried the demos for Blitzkreig and EYSA before buying CMBB. Everything is off my HD except CM. -
Suggestion: Combat Shotguns
junk2drive replied to Maestro's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Someone was asking about this recently... -
There are good substitues in CMAK See the 1940 Mod thread for my list of suggestions.

I made a set of French winters by using the CMBO Fading Hopes mod French uniforms, an AF CW wool glove and some snow on the boots. The FH unis have a heavy coat look to them. The tanker/CO uni has a tre chic scarf. For some reason the CMAK French tankers wear USA helmets instead of ??. Since I have to swap unis with the mid war USA, I used the FH mod tanker helmet too.

No The vineyard in CMAK is basically a brush tile with the doodads in rows instead of random placement. You could try modding the brush doodad bmp in CMBB with the grapevine doodad, but then you would have grapevines randomly seen under trees and eveywhere there is brush. -

The gelb one looks good too. I like a little dust/dirt, you did it well. You need some dirty tracks to go with it -
Question about the NKVD
junk2drive replied to Philippe's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
"I know that nobody pays any attention to this because it's too hard to remember, " It's too hard to remember where I saw that list. I searched all over my computer before I realised it was in the manual. You could mod the uniforms of one of the many units, by looking at their equiptment at CMBBdb and choosing a TO&E that works for you. -
Question about the NKVD
junk2drive replied to Philippe's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I opened the paper manual for the 3rd time today. There is a listing of all the start menu icons. To the left of the Poles is partisan, then NKVD. I coloured it purple (the original is the same as regular infantry), saved the bmp to my CMBB. I went through 13 pages of battles and never saw the icon. I think it was a plan for BFC and never got into the game. Since there is no listing in the dropdown unit menu for NKVD, I picked guards and looked for anything special, didn't see any. You can keep looking, but I don't think you will find them. -
Question about the NKVD
junk2drive replied to Philippe's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
We know it is not the partisan flags and icons. I went to the CMBBdb and didn't find a separate listing. The NKVD does have it's own icon on the 11240 start menu bar. I would think NKVD just uses regular infantry bmps for unis and flags. -
Possible to play US vs USSR?
junk2drive replied to Bannon DC's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
If CM had latrines I'd mod them too... If anyone wants to mod it, my PTO and Korea mods use Soviet kit for Germans, before AK arrived I modded the Soviets as USA from demo bmps. Germans as Soviets Captured T34/85 " Su85 Marder III early uses 76mm Soviet gun (Korea mod) Plus all the stuff the Soviets captured from the Germans can be used as is. Soviets as USA M3 scout M Stuart M4A2 76 Jeep Uni carriers M Halftracks A Berlin battle might be for some people. There are some maps and scenarios at TSD that could be used as a start. -
At cmmods Patboy's PZIIF mod converted to grau for CMAK early timeframe scenarios in Greece, Crete, or what-ifs. Same as my Sealion mod renumbered for early war. Back up your files. Use with McMMM.

The manual is on your hard drive as a pdf file. Navigate your CM folder.

Spanish Civil War (SCW) update
junk2drive replied to Hans's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
More tips for CMBB. For Quatre Camins you used July 41, grass is greener. If you use Oct 41 you get the winter grass with fall colour trees. If you use March 42 you get winter grass with mostly green trees and some bare winter trees. If any CMAK trees look like olive trees, you could make a mod. If the main road is blacktop, ok. Juju's grey or tan cobblestone road, or OSF mod has wide dirt for paved and narrow dirt for dirt roads, may be a choice for you. Same with walls, fences, bridges, OSF grass and brush doodads, etc. -

junk2drive replied to Hans's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
first you need Folkes data bases websites CMBBdb CMAKdb AS42 = CMAK Autosahariana 42 ATG starting Nov 42 Italian armoured car. Captured Aussie Italian tanks started with the 1.03 CMAK patch. Your CMBB battle files SCW_EB_Cuatre_Camins contains SCW-Quatre Camins-Spanish.cme dated 1-22 SCW-Quatre Camins.cme SCW_Quatre_Camins1 contains SCW Quatre Caminsv1.cme dated 1-14 SCW Quatre Camins-SPv1.cme Gurra's mods are in the CMAK section of cmmods, search by designer may help. The colour is better mid day. For CMBB I installed Jakor's 250th mod and made flags for the Republicans. [ January 21, 2005, 10:40 PM: Message edited by: junk2drive ] -
Thoughts on leadership
junk2drive replied to Carl Puppchen's topic in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks
You play the Axis because you like the underdog. You lose because that was history. I lose because I suck at CM -
Andrew Fox did Heer winter uniforms. 41_HEER has 3 zips, winter is Anorak coats. 42_HEER has 3 zips, one is the grey Anoraks, one is Whites. Look at cmmods under Andrew or Astrocat (a player that uploaded other people's mods for us) CMMOS versions may be at CMHQ.

Looks good from the shot. Does this mean you are finished whitewashing and moving on to dusty dirty mods? I hope so. Heinzbaby's PZIIIs would look nice with that dust on them, hint, hint. hmmmm, I have a whole list, lol. -

You renamed the zip Cuatre Camins, maybe you can email the Admiral to edit the listing. -
Spanish Civil War (SCW) update
junk2drive replied to Hans's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I now tried GURRA_DIRTY_OPEN_GROUND in CMBB. This was the best choice for terrain. I will get the new version. It is nice of you to include H2H and SP versions in the zip. -
Spanish Civil War (SCW) update
junk2drive replied to Hans's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
In your CMAK op, using all combined in early war gives you Italian scenery (peaked roof houses, trees, walls) with North Afrika units and uniforms. This one is Oct 1942 and dirt, it displays the red grass of CMAK Southern Italy. The Brits are in short pants, but I have a mod for that. In your CMBB battle, I tried OSF, DD's, and CMAK open ground with Juju's 3D treebases to get the same look. CMAK open ground came the closest. In the op you used M13/40 axis and Crusader I Allies for T26. From CMBB the T26 has 15mm armor with a 47mm gun. You also gave the Allies MH 47mm with 12mm armour. I suggest next time you could use the Aussie captured M13/40 for the Allies as an equal match to the Axis M13/40. For ACs, the AS42 ATG has a 47mm gun and no armour vs the MH 47mm. Just some thoughts -
