Hi Vixen, this scenario isn't suitable for a human allied playing a computer controlled axis. There still are guns coming on map as reinforcements for the Hungarians in this version and they are still a very important asset for the axis side, and being that the AI doesn't seem to be able to use them properly in this context, I must again point out that this battle is only playable as a human controlled axis versus a computer controlled allied or two humans trying to destroy each either. I'd be very interested in comments from someone who played the earlier version 2 then played this one, there is quite a few changes all the way around in OOB's, the map, an added third objective.

Thanks for your interest in the scenario guys. I apperciate your AAR Europa, please note his spoilers are only a little bit spoiling.

This should update all the axis minors PzIV's with MikeyD's newer artwork, well for the summer versions at least. I made this from several of Mike's different PzIV's, I've just posted a clean version for now. There is only one BMP set for all three of the T4 models.

The Hungarians demanded that they get MikeyD's artwork for their H-model markIV or they refused to fight anymore. I posted a clean version for now, in case anyone whats to mod it in someway or other.

Well what I'm really waiting for, actually hoping for, is that someone well redraw the panthers artwork. I just think of those grey PzIII's that I spent a lot of effort on, then a little while later much better quality artwork appears for them.

Oh hell ya!!, they look mega fine, that weathered effect looks damn good in your screenies. I got ta get a transfer to the desert now to look those critters over.

Just uploaded a clean summer version a little while ago, hope it's not too much of a disappointment. It's too bad Battlefront wasn't able to include the Lapland conflict also.

I did earlier do all the grey PzIII's based on mods posted by HeinzBaby, also done with that same look is MikeyD's grey StuG IIIG, StuH42- sIG33 IB Bison and BFC's grey Tiger. Try looking in the BY DESIGNER under my handle over to cmmods DAFFY ya may find stuff that you don't have yet. And ya sure can't go wrong with Bogdan's panthers, I've been using his later model versions for a long time now, I've been planning to do the earlier versions only, which I do have one do so far.

I'd forget about hot keys for the moment. So your in say, cmak and ya tap the print screen key to save a screen shot, you'll then have to go into Microsoft Photo Editor and find the EDIT section, in there you should see a PASTE option with more then likley sub-options I don't know want it would be referred to in this program, I know paint shop pro I use "paste as a new selection". You can use the windows paint program also, just tap print screen and then go into the windows paint program, then go to the EDIT section then click on PASTE.

Any paint program should have an EDIT section, this is usually where the PASTE command options are. So I'd suggest looking there and you should also find there what the hot keys are for doing this procedure. If you get my drift you need to paste a screen capture into what ever graphic program your using. If your using the windows print screen method, you get to save only one capture at a time, so you have to save that capture before taking another one or it'll get overwritten. Also note that using the copy command will also overwrite any previous screen capture. If you want to save multiple screen captures, you'll need third party programs like the ones mentioned above.

I've done all I feel up to doing with it for now. This was a lot of work for a AFV thats only available for one month out of the 4 years that cmbb covers, and even worse historically didn't fire a shot in angry for the time frame that the Finns are available in the game. But that doesn't mean we still can't have some great fictional scraps with it. As I stated before you need to go to August 1944 in order to get this puppy. Maybe have a try at a weathered and dirty look, later on. Also maybe I'll do a winterized version for some fictional late 43 or early 44 battles.

http://www.saunalahti.fi/veijju/tankit/tank11.html You can only get the Finnish PzIV in cmbb during August/44.

I was playing around this afternoon, trying to convert mikeyD's PzIV model H over to the Finnish PzIV-H. I would say it's actually more or less done, from what I've read the Finn's dropped that 3-tone paint scheme in 44 and went back to a overall green base colour.

Well thanks, but do ya still feel the same way after seeing it on the battlefield. :eek:

Uploaded earlier today, I tried to dull down the brightness on the final uploaded version. New screen capture over in the BB section.

I had a try at winterizing Andrew's PzIV-J, by giving it a light sprayed on whitewash appearance.

I had a go at whitewashing your non-ambushed camo'ed panzerIV-J, it's nothing special, but at at least this version is useable, it does have a sorta lightly sprayed on appearance. Would you have any problems with me posting this mod, for the few who may be interested in it.

Downloaded the non ambushed camo'ed one and thought I'd bump this while I was at it. [ June 09, 2005, 11:31 AM: Message edited by: DEY ]

I've had a go at whitewashing those two converted MikeyD German AFV's for Hungary, that I did earlier. The Hungarians where very upset that the Germans had MickeyD's artwork and they didn't, so this should boast their morale and hopefully they will fight harder now. I done these with a somewhat grimier look, especially the F-model. For QB players and anyone wanting to make a scenario with these AFV's, they are available July/42-March/43.

Hi Larry, the response sure is overwhelming as usual. Well at least I know that one other soul on the planet has a little interest in my attempts to make scenarios.

I had a go at converting MikeyD's excellent German PanzerIV F and F2 for the Hungarian units of the same type. I also had a try at giving them a little bit of a weathered dirty appearance, though the F2 model is very lightly done in that regard then the model-F. I hope this dirt effect isn't too awful. :eek: I hope to get winter versions done asap. Question for MikeyD ,is it possible to get a plain gelb version of your German model-H for conversion to the Hungarian model and I would assume this model would likely be the best one to use for the Romanian T4. Maybe you was, or could you do a version of these AFV's.

Looks good Mike, I have to admit though I haven't got any of that desert coloured stuff yet. I've had cmak for about 4 months now and I'd bet I haven't spent more then an hour all together on playing it yet. It doesn't appear there is any burnout for me and cmbb anytime soon.

I posted an update of this 1942 Hungarian versus Russia battle at the proving grounds, it's been upgraded to a large battle now. I would be interested in knowing how this version plays out either against the AI or in a two player contest. This is what the map looks like now.

I had a go at whitewashing MikeyD's Soviet captured pzIII-J(Late) and pzIV-F. I uploading an update of the pzIII today with a toned-down colored road gear.

I hear ya about the bloody TV stuff, though you haven't seen canadian television that makes the american system look real, real good. You could always pass the time of day like I have been doing all afternoon, installing a new motherboard and hardrive in my PC, oh joy!... fun it ain't.
