    Italian TOE curiosity : Assault and Landing Battalion (motorized)

    in Combat Mission Fortress Italy

    Posted · Edited by CMFDR

    Thank you user1000, here's what I did found back then (like 4 weeks ago, man time flies!)

    ASSAULT AND LANDING DIVISIONS 

    The assault and landing division, adopted in 1941 in anticipation of the intended invasion of Malta, assumed a special organization different from that of an ordinary infantry division. Increased mobility was obtained by the decentralization of heavy support weapons (antitank guns and 81mm mortars) from regimental to battalion control and of light support weapons (machineguns and 45mm mortars from battalion to company control. late 1941 and affected three ordinary infantry divisions. Expanded engineer and assault engineer assets (a battalion of each) as well as a rock climber battalion were added to this type of division for combined operations. The invasion never took place, and the units were used as ordinary infantry. Three divisions were effected.

    Not much on their envisioned operation or op plan though.

    I haven't really checked if there's a scenario that puts them on the stand.

    CMusic Mod

    in CM Shock Force 2 Maps and Mods

    Posted

    While getting to know Audacity for a work project, I came up with a little mod that changes the tunes played in various menu screens.

    Download (05 March 2019): https://drive.google.com/open?id=13pFdXHEKg_zBvVjd_Pmc8Mmvb26QtBkP

    All three music files have been downloaded from Youtube using SaveClipBro online converter then Audacity for the actual conversion to CMx2's required format (PCM 16 bits, 44100 Khz, Stereo for music files, mono for any other sound effect).

    It would work with the whole CMx2 series.

    - Main menu music (music intro file) from the "War Sound Effects" video by Cho "Choosemeiwin", trimmed.

     

    - Battle loading music (music splash file) come from the "Epic Taiko Drum Music" video by Sascha.

     

    - AAR music (music end of battle file) is a conversion of "The Last Post by Mark Knopfler" video by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

     

     

    As usual, decompress the archive and drop the files in your Z or Mods folder.

    [TOE issue] NATO, Canada, Sniper loadout

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 2

    Posted

    - Issue: 
    Referring to the Canadian Army's "Sniping" publication (B-GL-392-005/FP-001, dated from 2006-01-18), Canadian Sniper Teams (C3A, C14, and C15) may have an amount of ammunition that could be optimized.

    - Situation :
    66971081258c437493f5d7ae2ae1ea56.png3331efee2be7a10812364ea455e11291.png71f1b3cc1dc39cd69311db16b0a63e34.png
     

    From the aforementioned publication :

    22. The detachment consists of two sniper teams, each equipped with a Medium Range Sniper Weapon (MRSW)(...)[or] with a Long Range Sniper Weapon (LRSW) for materiel targets or with a Short Range Sniper Weapon (SRSW) (...)

    24. The basic ammunition load for a dismounted sniper detachment should be as follows:

    • a. LRSW (50 cal) Match round x 30;
    • b. LRSW (50 cal) Materiel neutralizing round x 30;
    • c. MRSW Match round x 160;
    • d. SRSW Match round x 200;
    • e. 5.56 mm ball x 900;
    • f. 40 mm HE x 24;
    • g. 40 mm smoke x 6;
    • h. 40 mm illumination x 6;
    • i. 9 mm pistol ball x 52;
    • j. Grenade, frag x 4;
    • k. Grenade, smoke x 4; and
    • l. M18A1 Command Detonated Munition (Claymore) x 2.

    (...)

    - Suggestions :

    • C3A Sniper Team
      • set the 5.56mm ammunition amount to 450
      • set the 7.62mm ammunition amount to 100
      • set the 40x46mm HE to 12
      • set the 40x46mm HEDP to 0
      • set the Grenade amount to 2
      • set the Smoke grenade amount to 2
         
    • C14 Sniper Team
      • set the 5.56mm ammunition amount to 450
      • set the .338 Lapua ammunition amount to 80
      • set the 40x46mm HE to 12
      • set the 40x46mm HEDP to 0
      • set the Grenade amount to 2
      • set the Smoke grenade amount to 2
         
    • C15 Sniper
      • set the 5.56mm ammunition amount to 450
      • set the .50 Mk211 ammunition amount to 30
      • set the 40x46mm HE to 12
      • set the 40x46mm HEDP to 0
      • set the Grenade amount to 2
      • set the Smoke grenade amount to 2

    - add .338 Lapua rounds to vehicles' ammunition reserves.

    - as other NATO Sniper team also have a similar basic ammunition load, the suggestions above may be applied to the German and Dutch Sniper teams.

    Thanks for the report. I've noticed this as well and think it should be easy to fix, will probably get around to it in a couple of days. The TF Thunder and Semper Fi campaigns were reworked for the initial CMSF2 release so they are the ones causing problems as of now, while all the other campaigns are still identical to their CMSF1 versions and can still be unpacked.

    As far as I understand, ScAnCaDe can unpack the reworked campaigns out of the box.

    "safe" to start playing US campaigns?

    Can someone attest positively that Marines get reinforcements in Flirting with Disaster mission, at the most recent USMC campaign version ? The post from Battlefront on the matter was ambiguous and I don't want to restart and be found at exactly the same position 

    From what I can deduce from the editor, the reinforcements are set to arrive in due time. Note that there are two versions of that mission, and it the first... [spoiler follows, highlight to read], the reinforcement arrives with a 5 min span for the two first and half an hour for the last.

    Minor TF TOE Issue

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 2

    Posted · Edited by CMFDR

    I couldn't replicate the issue you had in the campaign Howler. I cannot get the sniper team to have a missile.

    As you have observed, it seems that all U.S. Army's or Marine Corps' Sniper team have ammunition that doesn't fit with their weapon :

    Bil's NATO Floating Icon Set - BETA

    in CM Black Sea Maps and Mods

    Posted

    Sitting on it for a fortnight didn't help, I'm still on the fence, so I would better let them go and expose 'em to your appreciation.

    BnCBlackSeaThreatFloaters.7z

    With Bil's blessing, I've added some colors to the Ukrainian floaters

    9ddb7db45fb6ef6eb37930f6170363b2.png

    Now the debatable thing is that I've also edited the Russian icons to a blue and red flavor.

    d012574b8cbbe8ff1acd7c89774041cb.jpg

    Ukrainian and Russian shared icons are tagged (ukraine and russia respectively), with tag files inside.

    While Bil agreed that I pervert his mod, he's in no way responsible for it so if you like it, praise Bil, and if you don't then just blame me. ;)


    PS: I consider this version as an alpha, I will upload it to the proper repository once I'll feel comfortable considering it done.
