Have I offended you? Wasn't my intention. It's just that my better half is always complaining about me playing CM and modding stuff for it...
I am really impressed in all the work you do here, that's all I wanted to say.
-
He doesn't seem to have other hobbies.
Hell, my soon-to-be wife would kill me if I did mod as much as you, David! But since you're doing that, I can use a lot of your mods and have more time for her! Perfect!
-
Then I haven't noticed it before.
Must be the perspective... -
Very nice shots!
By the way, is it a mod you use for the armor pieces flying away during the explosion? And if so, which one?
-
Well, was in a bit of a hurry when writing that. Sorry...
It REALLY is time I mod again. Right now I just have tons of Dunkelgelb vehicles in my CMBB waiting to get a proper camouflage pattern!
-
That's becasue the CMAL Lynx has none of these grey... packages on the engine deck. Don't know whatever these are supposed to be, but they're missing in CMAK.
-
I hope someone plany top restore it and they don't scrap it... Well, not that much left, anyway.
-
I absolutely agree. Now, what's next?
-
Damn, these look nice! So, what's left for me now?
In the end I'll stop making mods myself and just use yours! -
At least you find someone... I for one do not even really KNOW anyone 'round here.
And my friends aren't into wargaming, either. The only one that is has no internet access. That's bad luck!
-
I'd prefer commanding German soldiers, if possible, I've got not very much experience playing Soviets. But, as I said before, if you still need an Assistant GM even when we have enough people, I'll take the job. As that decided enough? In no way am I gonna quit, that's for sure!
-
So I can't bloody well say 'no, I WANT to play no matter what' since we still haven't enough people, anyway, right? I think I can manage the job, though I'd still prefer to play. But if it means pulling this thing off, I'll be Assistant GM.
Another question: Do we get commemorative medals or something similar? I'd like to have something framed on the wall...
by the way: It's 'Generaloberst', not 'Oberstgeneral'. I should know, I AM German.
-
I'd volunteer as Assistant GM if that doesn't mean we loose a player. If I can manage to do both, I'll do it! And sadly I don't have enough friends that play CM...
-
As long as the Germans get any tanks at all, that won't matter. I, for one, have an affinity to get gun damage on King Tigers very often, so they wouldn't be of much use, anyway!
-
Hey, that's soemthing. Now I sense something rollin' here...
Well, if we actually manage to pull this off, I definitely need to do a few mods for the campaign!
-
thanks for the info, sounds interesting... Does a battle creator play actual battles, then? Because I'd definitely like to take an active part in this!
Anyway, it's a very cool idea and would be a waste to let it pass!
-
Sounds great! Count me in on the German side! Whatever the job, I take it...
What exactly does a 'battle creator' do? Maybe I can help with that, 'cause I'd LOVE to see that campaign going off for sure!
-
Looks interesting! And you beat me again to it! Well, I haven't that much time right now and life's a bitch seometimes...
-
Well... actually, guys, she LOVES me and we're going to get married. She's not really a stereotypical woman. She plays PC and console games (and Beat'em Up's are her favorite) and likes battle axes... and is planning on collecting them. So... I'd say it's just a tiny step to playing wargames with me. She already beat me in a few. It's not that she has the better tactics (in fact, I think she has none!) but rather that my tactics are too complex for a non-professional enemy, so to speak...
On topic: I was very surprised how fast the Jagdtiger really was - and how maneuverable considering the damage to the suspension. I'd like to know if modern tanks could without a few road wheels...
-
Was looking for that a while ago... wanted to show it to my girlfriend since I got her to play 'Flames of War' with me! She has yet to learn a lot about WW2 in general and tanks in specific...
-
If we don't get WW2, then I want REAL helicopters on the battlefield that I can CONTROL...
-
We only have to wait for the CM:SF WW2 module - and pray it's really Western Front! Or make our own game...
-
It looks good, though I'd not make it your standard Dunkelgelb. The tone I'm aiming for is more like the Tamiya color, because I think it's a good approximation if what the 'real' Dunkelgelb looked like. And, if I'm not totally mistaken, there are still people who think there were, in fact, TWO OR EVEN THREE different shades of Dunkelgelb, and whatdoes that tell us? Only that this color apparently had a wide range of shades or at least a few different ones.
P.S.: I think I already played that scenario. But I have played too many scenarios in the past years, so I can't really be sure... Will make it the next on my list.
-
Doesn't look bad. And if you ask me, I would not say it's too incorrect, either...
I have been told by an ex-Panther crew member that his tank actually had a very dark Dunkelgelb color. And as I said before in the other thread, I think it's reasonable to assume that Dunkegelb was, in fact, an ocher tone on some tanks depending on how the factory painted them and what battlefield conditions were.

Ah, I understand. Haven't seen this movie. A little bit before my time, I guess... But my precious is definitely thankful for all your work.
