version 2 for Sherman 2A (the first was too clean, same for some Churchills a little too white. I will make another version later.)

The British winter vehicles are finished I think. There remains a problem with the wheels of some vehicles (snowy Priest US wheel doesn't works). I need to create a second bmp file for them. I'm not going to give links to updated files. I will collect all these vehicles with their new wheel bmp files in a single folder to send them to Bootie with his permission, his agreement, his blessing ... otherwise paying him.

Dipping in to check my ancient thread ahead of the CMBN steam release, surprised to see this never got patched. Hopefully this issue is corrected for the steam release.

Uhhhh, ok. This looks a lot like last year's update with the year iterated by one.
 
 

Looking back at Steve's posts, I see he remarked that other software developers make 5 times more than what he makes or has made. If I ever win Powerball Steve...
Kohlenklau: Hi Steve, did you get the check?
Steve: Yes Mr. Kohlenklau, I got it. Thank you sir. Charles is here...he says we'll have Early War ready very soon. Come on up to view the beta and we'll go out for lobster.
 

Great news Steve, and hopefully great news in the update. 👍

I stay awake untill tomorrow night. 😁

First off thanks to all those who have supported the Battlepack by purchasing it, and a shout out to those who have provided their support in the creation of this project – and a huge shout out to those who have freely given their feedback and additional support publicly via various means – online streaming vids, DARs, AARs and various forum posts etc, Its truly heartening to read and see these. 

It’s just as well, being Scottish, that we are renowned for being slow to anger and not prone to unprovoked outbursts. On a personal note a mahhoosive amount of work went into the battle pack, at my end. Work of which I am truly proud off. The lion’s share of research, mapmaking and AI plan stuff was devoted to the two campaigns and the Rakow and the Dying Sun scenario. These all involved painstakingly creating huge new maps from primary sources. Research turned up several ‘loose’ ends regarding accepted historical narrative and I’m as chuffed with these as the scenarios!

I digress… In short this sucked up a huge amount of time and I was also involved in several other projects (which I was keen to be involved in including CMFR and CMCW). Creating new content, AI plans etc for the Battlepack was a significant endeavour. So yup I used bits of various previous maps (which were my own creations and made available publicly) which I then significantly tweaked – mainly because I could not positively ID RL locations, or the fact is I thought the map – like Der Ring (which by the way took nearly a year to produce) to have a new life after some major tweaking. I’ve done this on previous game families with other maps. A few astute observers might have spotted them. 

But, and I should stress this, in the case of Der Ring it was heavily reworked and I created brand new AI plans (I had to as I’d chopped and reused bits) etc. So yes whilst some stuff is based on sections of der Ring they are more the offspring – rather than the map wearing a false wig and a pair of dodgy specs…

Re the rather offensive swipes about scamming, well,  re the master maps it’s pretty clear that as stated on the BFC website that they are “New maps based on maps from the Battle Pack missions”. 

Years back I used to be with a punk band – another life another story…. One of the bands (way more successful than we were) we did some gigs with, had their singer on one of their records state this quote, it was along the lines of – “Whatever you do they’ll slate you off and criticise you to the ground…” It’s stood me in good stead through life.
So aye happy to take the constructive knocks, but I’m less inclined to give credence tae whingers.
 

You're full of Christmas cheer aren't you.  Der Ring der 5 Panzer you got for free in the first place as @George MCreleased that as a community scenario .  So let's say 30% is 'old content.'  Looks like you're owed $3.  Let me know where to send the money to or maybe we'll set up a crowdfund.

Reckon then you’ll enjoy the Five Days campaign and the wee primer SPW training scenarios.

Order them to release, George. 😃

Super excited about this to be honest.  I am in the final stages of The Breakthrough to Kovel which also focused on III Germania and the Wiking Panzers.
I CAN'T WAIT to have ANOTHER campaign focused around these units!!
And, I mean, it's @George MC stuff!!
 

Any word on the totally unconfirmed Cold War Module?
Thanks for the update.

test scenarios and save files are here
1, test scenario
2, 120mm begin
3, 120mm end
4, 82mm begin
5, 82mm end
 
 

Is this a bug or WAD? On map mortar has a larger dispersion compares to off map one. 
I noticed this case in CMBS, later I will check if WW 2 CM and CMSF 2 , CMCW have the same issue.
 
Please see screenshot below
We have three buildings. I have the FO to issue a point target fire support order to the left building with 1 tube 120mm mortar on map.  Another tube of on map 120mm will target the  building in the middle directly. Then the building on the right side will be targeted by off map 120mm battery (1 tube/heavy/maximum fire mission)

 
As you can see below:  the on map mortar fire support mission has a very large dispersion. The dispersion circle’s radius is about 2.5 times of the off map mortar fire support mission.

 
82mm mortar has the same issue.
 

82mm's impact is too hard to see, so take a close look at it

Central

 
Right

 
 
Any reason on why?

As an aside, I found that you can assign UAVs to the highest HQ and subordinate units (including FOs) should be able to call artillery within observed areas while HQ gets up to the minute recon.

yes, 
US' PGM are GPS guided
RUS/UKR's PGM are Laser guided so they need FO's LOS (to deploy the laser designator)

Hi,
It's been a while since this has been asked I think, and at one time I believe it was on the development wish list. Anyway for those that don't know, the idea is vehicle decals would allow different vehicles of the same type to have different numbering etc on the vehicles in game. IIRC there were concerns about game performance if this were implemented, but perhaps with todays machines that's no longer a concern. Any chance this may still happen?
 
Thanks

I always wanted to make this. I think the movie was an Italian war movie "El Alamein: Linea del Fuoco" and there was a fuel drum used with a sign .
Import both mdr's. Also bring in their texture bmp's. Adjust as necessary. Then do parent-child. select hierarchy and export as an mdr with a new name. It still refers to and uses the original textures from before.
