Hi
I've found an interesting movie about syria tank modifications. Posted it in Syrians thread but it seems no one there is interested. Maybe it wasn't the best place for it.
 
Probably out of scope of CMSF2 but still interesting to see. Such vehicles could be useful in red on red scenarios.

I've been mucking about with one of the classic CM:SF1 maps:


This map is an adaption of LJF-Huge Rural:
http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/cm-shock-force-2/cm-shock-force-add-ons-maps/map-huge-rural/
If the original creator would identify themselves, I'd like to give credit where the vast bulk of it is actually due. 
My version's still a WIP at the moment, but I reckon the blank map should be ready in a couple of days.....There's a 2p only scenario to follow soon thereafter, but that will need some testing before it's ready for general consumption. 
 

Hmmmm ive seen this beach assault before!
 
 

Did I mention it was quite a fight:

A friendly civilian (Honest!  ) emerges to render first aid to a fallen rebel:

 

Hmmmm ive seen this beach assault before!
 
 

Probably one of the most insane things ive seen done with the CM engine...amazing work.

Afghan Commandos and their US Special Forces Handlers clear a room

Mods used:
CPT Millers US Army Multicam Division Pack
SIr Lancelots Syrian Realism Mod
37mm Ak74 to m16 pack

Okay, I think I figured why it was changing AKM's. You need to delete ak-74.bmp. This is actually the texture for the AKM....
The only issue left now is that the M16 swap messes up the tubular stock of the other AK's but that's a minor issue, barely noticeable.
There are perhaps other small fixes needed but this is going to help a lot. I wasn't even going to do any weapon swapping if I had to do this alone. But this looks much better.
Maybe I'll do an early and a late ANA version. The early one with only woodland camo and AK's. And the late version with M16's and a mix of woodland and spec4ce forest.

A screenshot, the m16s look great!

Id go maybe with republican guard? or Special forces with woodland camo mod? thats how I have my Afghan commandos in my mini campaign. 
An example: ANA commandos with MARSOC.
Mods:
SIr Lancelots Syrian Realism Mod
Mjkerners USMC Helmets and Gear.

Am taking a chance posting here, but I believe this is the best place to do so, since I believe CMSF2 will allow depicting most, if not all, of the combat actions, not to mention providing a wealth of visuals for mapping maps, laying out villages, skinning things and getting the atmosphere right.  Here's what I just posted about "Hyena Road" on FB.

"Anyone who enjoys war movies, especially modern warfare, must see "Hyena Road" currently free on Amazon Prime. Not only does it have a great and moving story (broke down and cried during one scene), but it's got all the war toys, the real ones, ranging from small arms through field artillery and even a C-17. It's about the Canadian Army in Afghanistan, and parts of it were shot there. It's got real Afghanis speaking Pashtun. Veterans may find this film a bit much, for this movie is raw and unfiltered, and casualties are sometimes gruesome, not gore for the sake of gore, but simply because that's what happens. None of the Hollywood nonsense of intact bodies flying through the air! The screenplay is superb, as are the dialogue and the camera work. The actors playing Canadian Army roles are the pride of Canada, and some of them also appeared in Hollywood films. See this film!"

The war toy list is incomplete. Would add that, though I know squat about how the Canadian Army operates, I found tactics, procedures, capabilities depicted and pretty much everything else to be entire credible. In fact, I'd say it's about as close to real combat as I ever wish to be. Am talking feeling like I'm about to be shot or blown up and from just about any direction at several points during the film. My only issue was with gun elevation during a fire mission. That struck me as odd, and if you watch this amazing film, you'll understand why. Would appreciate feedback on that matter from you FA types on that. I consider "Hyena Road" to be one of the best war movies I've ever seen.

OPERATION "OPPORTUNE STRIKE" MINI CAMPAIGN
The date is April 06, 2010. For the past winter, Marine Special Operations Team (MSOT) 8222 (callsign Dagger 22), along with Afghan and International Security Forces have been taking on the Taliban in the secluded Bala Murghab valley, in the north of the country. Their mission: prevent the enemy from launching their yearly spring offensive. Just 2 kilometres south of Bala Murghab disctricT center lies the town of Daneh Pasab, Taliban controled territory and logisctical hub from which the  offensive will be launched. After several months of work, the pieces are in place for a final blow to destroy the heavily entrenched Taliban force, breaking their grip on the valley and stopping the spring offensive before it even begins. A US ARMY Special Forces ODA and an Afghan Commando strike team have been flown in to assist with the operation.
The campaign will consist of two missions. The first will be the night assault on the souther part of the village, while the next will be a continuation of the assault towards the north with more support assets. Your performance on the first mission will determine the strenght of the enemy in the second. 
Right now i have mission 1 ready for testing and am starting to work on mission two.
Updates will follow!

Executing Jihadists in Dumayr
 
 

Also upping their experience works, making them crack or elite has made them act more in a one shot one kill kinda way. But thats just me.

Correct! Operation Opportune Strike. or atleast based on it, taking into account the game engine etc etc. 
There is actually a lot of footage on YT, some of them clearing the village but mostly of when the team took up overwatch over the village and started engaging targets in the village proper and calling in CAS. One of the vids:
PS: and ive actually recreated this area on the map, on the area where i suspect this position to be,
And sure any advice you can give me is welcome. ill maybe shoot you a DM with the oob and my plans for the scenario later on 👍
 

Merry christmas!

Always look forward to your mods mate!
