One can also bits of fake mod terrain types to look different from normal and use these instead. I.e I made my steep slopes terrain all "marsh", but looks is those of my own choice (something similar to "ground forest" in my case). Same for doodads if there´s any associated with a terrain type. My "marsh-slopes" terrain is NOGO for vehicles and rather hard going for infantry. Setting ground type to all "muddy" adds another difficulty to vehicles at least.

Please use the Editor to set Ground conditions to WET before playing Makin. That should suitably nobble the tanks.
Aquila just cut them loose and let them run riot.  That is nothing like what happened, although historically one of the (halftracks modded as) LVTs lost its brakes and careened through the coconut groves to end up stranded on the opposite beach.

I've nowhere near enough spare time to dedicate myself to another CM project and my current backlog will probably take, at least, a year to box off however these past few days I started playing around with CMFI & the Jungle environment of Heaven & Earth...
... I, of course, tweaked the environmental mods somewhat (which are still heavily based on work by @EZ) & added a few bits & bobs from the like of @Lucky_Strike & Aris.
 
Obviously it's full of placeholders, still I think there's potential here for a team of interested individuals to create an Asia-Pacific War mod & content pack.
For now, I'm just feeling out potential interest in such a project... as well as fishing for ideas.

Thanks a lot, downloaded and installed... Superb. 🖖

One of my ongoing side projects (aimed, mostly, at the new influx of Steam Players) is to host an 'All in One' for every CM game here.
This is my initial effort for RT & its primary feature is a large collection of weathered vehicle mods (by @kohlenklau, @umlaut  & @Aristoteles ) renamed & tagged so that they now work with F&R. It also features terrain mods by @SeinfeldRules, UI mods by @rocketman, @Marco Bergman & @Volksgrenadier, Infantry mods by @EZ, @Tashtego & @Ithikial_AU, loading screens by @umlaut, building mods by @Kieme(ITA) & @Tanks a Lot as well as the ME effects package, ME soundscape & (subdued & fixed) superpack voices by @ironsturm plus many more others.
I know a lot of people had issues with their old RT mods & the new Fire & Rubble module so hopefully this modpack will be of some interest to them.
Here's a taster of some of what you can expect...

An remake based on the Project Reality Map Kokan (2000 x 2000), Hamlets, farms and a FOB.

37mm, hi,
Am astounded by what I have found. Incredible work and generosity🙂. Just installed and launched a Saved game.
Fantastic🙂.
Thanks for all the fine work.
 
All the best,
Kip.
 
 
 
 

@JM StuffI'm well aware of @LongLeftFlankcontributions to the art of Jungle Warfare... indeed at least one of his bush mods still remains in both H&E & the current "Ring of Fire" concept mods. More importantly, the very idea of CM Jungle Warfare & exploring the difficulties faced in recreating it are his baby.
IJA defenders may be better based on small teams (which can also be recreated by specialist teams in the editor, as in concept test one) but I suspect IJA offensives are better represented by the inflexible Italian formations (as in concept test two)... besides the strip based MMG's, 6mm rifles & general lack of SMG's are much more appropriate.
Either way, there are Poles in CMFI & bren teams could be procured if need be.
Also, thanks to the likes of @kohlenklau & @Malaspina, CMFI is gaining the reputation as one of the more experimental & moddable of the BFC games... so may as well lean on that.
 
Help with the helmets would be appreciated @JM Stuff , we also have access to a lot more .mds' than LLF had... I wonder if Polish Airborne are still the best available .mds' today? @Kuliany opinion?
Also, the Italians have several different .mds' which means we could have seperate mods for different branches of the Japanese military.
A very large non-pine tree & a much larger Palm style tree would be top of the list of to do's @Lucky_Strike.
A voice mod would be top priority @Rice & that would undoubtedly include suitable yells @RockinHarry.

I've nowhere near enough spare time to dedicate myself to another CM project and my current backlog will probably take, at least, a year to box off however these past few days I started playing around with CMFI & the Jungle environment of Heaven & Earth...

Fantastic stuff @37mm - I can feel a Thin Red Line evening coming on.
It's not a part of the conflict that I'm overly interested in, and like yourself I've got plenty to keep me busy for a least a few more years. However, I would happily mod up a tree or two and some other foliage for you just 'cos.  @kohlenklau Has some palm trees in his CMFI Afrika mod set he'll probably be happy too donate, if you haven't already raided them that is.
I think CMFI is the ideal host game for this. It can easily be expanded to include so many nations for the Allies - already thinking Burma and the Chindits, and of course the Anzacs.
I say go for it!

Looking great so far. 😎 Bits of reminds me of some older ARMA3 Vietnam mod, landscape wise (not the DLC). But video also reminds me of why I created that soldier animation mod project. Half these guys would´ve lived longer when going to prone for rifle reloads or down to kneel for when shooting at the enemy.  But okay, war was carnage. 💀 Would be great seeing those imperial soldiers doing some Banzai charges! 🔪 Incl. yelling Banzaiii and such.😎

I might be able to lend a hand with some stuff

Me too I can try the Japanish helmets, I did already the US with straps,also for airborne, Australian... and last time the Danish for Umlaut.
JM

I speak Japanese, and have contact with a Japanese Military Historian. Please contact me for language/translation help if needed! Always wish there was more pacific content.

Wasn't there a PTO mod? by ...maybe...  @LongLeftFlank

Yes he did one Phil, and already something very interresting and we can download it by CMBN section, then a couple of years later @Aquila-SmartWargames was making some change in graphics and I think also terrains.
That you can also download on his page by the big 2 or 3 Gigas.
Perhaps @37mm can pick up something for his new version ?

1. From some simple messing around, back when I had time for such things....
2. Came an entire mod set, mainly done by others than myself, which I  based on CMBN Polish forces, together with some other speciality mods. This was all well before the current texture swapping and the uniforms don't work with the current wireframes.
3. And finally a scenario (I chose Makin because it was US Army, super well documented, included tanks -- I used Shermans for Lees -- and flamethrowers were not used in the historical action owing to a logistical snafu, which was ok by me because CMBN didn't yet offer them in 2012)
 
And before you ask, why not CMFI? answer is the giant unsplittable Italian squads are unsuitable for IJA/rikusentai defenders which are 3-4 well camouflaged guys with Nambus (Brens) and grenades.  But hey, knock yerself out.
And no, I am not available for any contributions, sorry. That was another rabbit, long ago.  Good luck!

Playing the new Сoncert in a Dlinenkoe scenario by @Chelentano...
... it was excellent, real good fun.
I know the scenario was meant to be set in May & to showcase @despot993's interesting Wagner mod however I wanted to start the Autumn modpack as well as try out @boygarvin's new VDV update... and the conditions of the scenario were suitable for Autumn.
