Blazing 88's

Still feeling that way about CMx1 myself... Slowly getting into CMx2, can't stand the limitations and theatre though so... Flame away.

Not at all, I am a graphic artist for my day job... I have no ambition, on my time, to do what it takes to do what you and all of the modding community do for CM... this way I can concentrate on CM as a sim only, as the graphic mods are already in good hands. Much appreciated brotha's.

Just my two cents... I have no need for this product (CM touch). Hopefully resources are used towards CMx2 and not this. Jmo.

Lol... Is that CS6 Photoshop's new user interface... can't wait!!! CS5's is getting rather stale.

Thanks for your hard work. Will this be the thread you post in saying it is uploaded?

One of the main reasons CMx1 still rocks my world. Can't wait for the new engines and user made scenarios / campaigns for early war stuff 41-43 etc.

Since this or the original thread will never be stickied, I am going to keep bumping this from time to time.

Here you go: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/ Thanks for the scenario RH.

Instead of the meds... Have you tried any of the old CMx1 games (CMBB, CMAK)? I still prefer them to CMBN /CW. I prefer the theaters and game play /scale of the old game engines. As well, CMAK can be modded to CMETO (Europeon Theater, 44-45). Three games for the price of two. Love the arty in CMBN /CW though. I just need the Eastern Front and North Africa CMx2 to be created with all bugs fixed. Until then CMx1 mostly for me.

Do you mean David Ingletts CMAK European Theater Mod: http://www.tspindler.de/cmak_mod/ There are downloads for it at CMMODS as well (Author: DavidInglett). Just curious if that is the same mod you are talking about.

That link worked. Thanks a bunch.

Not working for me noob. Sigh... The URL contained a malformed video ID.

No video that i can find in my bookmarks. Here are some links for reading instead: http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/forumdisplay.php?fid=31 http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=32979 Look up a person named Poor Old Spike in many of the combat mission forums. He had all the ranges and battlefield effects, etc figured out with screen shots. Somewhere someone made a pdf download of all his findings on the game mechanics that help waging war in CM. I do not have time at the moment to help you out more. I will check back in when i do, hopefully with more info. Searching this forum CMAK and CMBB for tactics and such is a good start, if you haven't gone that route yet.

You might as well download all of them. There are files for CMAK as well.

Bump. It seems the links do not go directly to the download page now. I would assume because you have to login to download the files?? Weird though, as the same links are provided in the CMAK forum and they work fine. Anyways search for the author RobO in both CMAK and CMBB for the files.

By the way, after re-reading your op I have this to add. That link for CMMODS is dead because that site shut down several years ago. You could try GreenAsJade's site now to see if some of the other mods are there if you haven't already: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/ Cheers back at you.

CMAK can be modded to make CMETO (West Front) with this link. Follow the instructions: http://www.tspindler.de/cmak_mod/ You can find more scenario's for CMAK (CMETO) at The Scenario Depot II: http://the-scenario-depot.com/index.html Or The Proving Grounds: http://www.the-proving-grounds.com/index.html and other sites. The scenarios will be listed under CMAK as France 44, 45, or Holland. There are scenarios for France 1940 as well.

What I have done is make a permanent copy of the CMBB / CMAK (and CMETO) install folders on dvd. Or you could use a USB drive as well and copy the CMBB / CMAK (CMETO) install folders from a previous install on a old Win Xp computer. Then copy those folders onto your Win7 laptop/ desktop. For me no problems at all, this is without the Vista patch on my Win7 gaming laptop as well. I especially like to do this because of all the mods I have installed.

Good read Erwin and I agree. I have always preferred being the German forces when wargaming WWII. One of my WWII interests, since i was a young one, has been for the German Blitzgieg tactics/ strategy, their Panzer General's, Panzer/ Infantry Aces and Gothic military equipment/ engineering.

They look wicked in the bookshelf as well.

I would assume not, i wouldn't know. If you haven't tried the CMx1 series of Combat Mission, pick it up just to use this great campaign generator. Worth the investment, even if dated compared to CMBN.

I have read Panzer Commander (good read). I have Company Commander, but have not read it yet... sigh. I picked this book up in the summer. I plan on reading it very soon. Here is some of my collection for suggestions: Panzer Aces I, II and III - Kurowski Infantry Aces - Kurowski Armor Battles Of The Waffen-SS, 1943-45 - Fey Michael Wittmann Vol. One and Vol. Two - Agte Tigers In The Mud - Carius Death Traps - Belton Y. Cooper Brazen Chariots - Major Robert Crisp Tobruk and El Alamein - Carver An Army At Dawn - Rick Atkinson Panzer Tactics - Schneider

Also you can make two copies of CMAK and mod one of the copies to make CMETO. Two games for the price of one. Here is the link for the mod: http://www.tspindler.de/cmak_mod/ For a campaign layer for CMAK and CMBB, check out RobO's Campaign Generator: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=88284

Same.
