Well, as far as I can tell there are no Hummels in CMRT nor in CMFI. But there are Nashorns (which are largely the same vehicle, except for the gun), so I might convert these mods into Nashorns at some point.
 
BTW: Can anyone tell what the story is about Nashorns in CMBN? They arent in the game, as far as I can tell - but the bmp files are in the Vehicle Pack. How come?

yes I was talking about converting to the CMFI and CMRT here is in Italy 
 

Another set uploaded.
 
This time it is the Hummel - with three camouflage options to choose from.

I think that Ithikial hits the nail on the head. Fighting in their own national armies for the first time seems to me why Gallipoli still resonates "down under". He is also spot on about their role on the Western Front. Here in Limeyland the ANZACs, Canadians and, Indians are often forgotten when it comes to the Western Front, which is sad to say the least.

It was their first single back in '84.... drowns in wave of geriatric punk nostalgia... haha

Thats Layla air guitar version.

And while ANZACs were in their special inferno, the Irish rose up in Dublin, as detailed in "Foggy Dew." The actual song begins at 1:22, but why the Irish arose is explained starting at 3:00. Believe you will find it is highly related to the OP. This rendering of the song gave me chills.

And the Pogues nail it. Remember!

No, sorry - I should have made that clear. Here you go:

I ended up adding an extra set of camouflage. So there are three options to choose from.
 
Enjoy
 

 
 

Figured I might as well make a single thread dedicated to previewing my mods. Rather than keep making new threads every time I release a new one. Alas, it is never going to be as long as Aris´. I definitely lack his speed (not to mention skill).
 
Anyway, here it is.
 
The first one to show is the Flakpanzer 38 (t). For some reason I really like this little critter. So I thought I´d give it a bit of dust, grime and a camo scheme. Or two camo schemes, actually.
 
I´ll release it as soon as I´ve finished the [muddy] versions.
 
 
 
 

Updated the folder by adding handful of extra Fury splashs - the place to get them is the same.

Hi
Just watched the movie "Fury" - and was pleasantly surprised. It was quite a bit better than I had expected.
 
Anyway, some of the great shots in the movie inspired me to make a couple of new splash backgrounds from screenshots from Fury (see thumbnails)
 
Get them at greensasjade´s (consider giving them a try - even if you hate the movie )
 
Cheers

This one is obviously not related to Fury. Just thought it´d be fun to make - and really don´t want to start a new thread because of one splash.

Thats not really true, the french army (on paper) was at least as good as the german army, there were countless "CM scale" encounters during the 1940 campaign were both side met at equal terms and many which saw the French temporary defeating German troops.
I would recommend you the book "Blitzkrieg-Legende" by Karl-Heinz Frieser if you are interested in this topic.
Operational the French forces got crushed by the Wehrmacht but that does not mean much for the CM size of engagements.

+ 1 from me.
 
BFC usually only reveal stuff when they are ready. That is why some of us get a bit worried when the screenshots show nothing new. Because we then fear that the Bulge game will in fact have no new snow graphics.
 
Hopefully these pics are just a deviation from the standard procedure and actually only show us that there is really nothing ready for us to see - yet. If so, this debate has probably confirmed to BFC that their usual "no-news-at-all-until-were-absolutely-ready" policy was the correct way to go.
 
Now feel free to call me a whiner, ingrate or whatever.

Naaaaw, you have to whine a lot more than that to get me to call you on it

I don't think that it is that much that is 'wrong' with the out of the box stuff but some things CAN BE, and ACTUALLY ARE improved by the MODDERS.
To name the two biggest improvements the MODDERS bring to the game imo that would be...
WEATHERED VEICHLES and IMPROVMENTS to the UI
I don't think that there are very many players that HAVE NOT downloaded ALL of Aris and Kiemes weathered veichles as well as juju's UI for example...
There's nothing 'wrong' with the stock veichle textures but they may look a bit to BRAND NEW...
It has become more or less 'rutin' that some talented MODDERS set about to edit these veichles as soon as the games come out and as i said...this modding brings some increased activity to the forum...wich i think BFC likes.
Had these MODDERS not been around i think that BFC themself would indeed 'improve' the STOCK veichle textures in a simular way before releasing the game...
As things are now...that is not neccesary and i think/hope that the MODDERS actually enjoys editing these things.
This allows BFC to spend more time on other things like the VEICHLE MODELS, SOLDIER MODELS, ANIMATIONS and stuff like that that they do VERY WELL !
The veichle- and soldier models are indeed VERY GOOD !
Most of the terrain graphics are also GOOD right out of the box but the MODDERS brings some improvements to this to.
Things like the SUN EFFECTS are also very nice...So NO, the game is not 'BAD' when it comes out of the box...FAR FROM IT !
 
The things i did not like about the BULGE photos was not the textures (these can- and hopefully will be modded).
It was the flattness of the snow graphics...on the ground, on the vegitation, on the buildings and on the veicles.
As i mentioned earlier in this thread...THE BULGE GAME will be the first BASEGAME based on winter conditions.
I had hoped to see some more 3d effects/depth to the snow grapics and when i questioned why they showed us these pictures this is what i ment.
The WINTER CONDITION is one of the PRIMARY features of this game and this BONE showed nothing new in this regard...or to be honest...Nothing new at all...
Thats why i think that showing these pictures now, in this state, might have been a bit premature...Yes...It's aplha but why not wait
Better to wait until some NEW stuff could be shown...
 
I'm sorry if i'm sounding negative but i really do want nice winter graphics/effects for the future CM games...

I must admit that my first reaction is a bit of disappointment too. The composition of forces looks very good to me, but I find the screenshots depressing. As I have said earlier in the CMFI forum:
 
 
Hopefully, the screenshots just aren´t showing new snow textures because simply they aren´t finished yet. If so, this just proves why BFC are right to generally be so reluctant to reveal anything about a new release until it is ready. Because forumites like me tend to zero in on every little detail - and bitch over it.
 
But if the screenshots do show how snow in the Bulge game is depicted - then I´m pretty disappointed.

Dear <deity> please cure Battlefront's allergy towards 1939-1941.

I´ve taken the liberty of making - and uploading - a set of Aris Stuart Recce and Kangaroo mods - simply by renaming the hull, wheel and track files of his previous Stuart III mods. That of course means that this is still 100 percent Aris´ work - I´ve simply renamed the files and uploaded them.

Get them the usual place: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5416/details

Though the worst piece of the movie, that part with the Tiger was only one small episode. I think they were trying to depict hitting the tank with smoke then covering open ground quickly and getting behind him. Their plan fizzled when the Tiger didn't cooperate and instead rolled forward through the smoke to meet them. Necessitation keeping all three Shermans in the same frame (and not widely separated dots on the horizon) for movie purposes kind'a screwed up the depiction of the tactic.
