This is supposed to be a Ford Ranger used by the Afghan National or Local Police. I don't think too many of those are actually fitted with a DShK but whatever. It also works with the recoilless rifle version I think. It is going to be needed for a scenario I am working on which is almost finished.
I provide it as a separate file but really I suggest you put it inside the Afghan Army Mod folder; this way it is easier to just remove the whole pack together when not needed.

Sent the revised campaign to Aquila who has a Dropbox - he may be able to help you other guys.

I've been hard at work on the project in recent weeks. I finished updating building internals across the whole master and am now working my way through final elevation polishing. That's a slow slog because it can take a lot of time, trial and error to get the sprawling connected building pieces in line for both a flush series of connected roof pieces and doors at the right level on the ground. Sometimes it's impossible to get fully clean. However, the ones I can't get perfect aren't too far off and are fully functional as far as infantry use goes. Most players won't even notice and slightly sunken doors appear on many stock maps. So, not a big deal, I think.
I'm also polishing some of the ground textures as I go to get a more natural mix across near tiles. My eye has improved as the project has gone along and certain areas stand out now as needing more of that work. I'll largely be waiting to add flavor objects until I see what new FOs are provided in CMFR. However, I'm putting some in as I go when the fancy takes me.
I've also done some potential QB slice testing and am pretty pleased with those. Overall, the AI is setting up a defense that will provide a reasonable challenge for the player. I've just been doing broad areas of coverage with six AI groups. As per usual SP QB CM, the AI tends to leave undefended zones that a human would never do, but I've been impressed with the overall traction from the AI. One standout problem is ATG placement. The QB AI almost always puts its guns inside the internal areas of building blocks, rendering them pretty useless. It sometimes does the same things with its tanks.
So, going forward, I'll be continuing with the elevation polishing while waiting for CMFR. Then, once I have that, I'll be finalizing FO placement, updating the map with anything new, creating a custom texture pack (not going overboard here -- as little as possible) and getting the campaign, scenario and QB work done. Oh, yeah -- and making sure the map is ready to go for winter fighting!
So, still a ton of work to do, but very much a light in the tunnel and I'm very pleased overall with the combat on the map. It's performing better than I expected going into the project and the problems are all common to any CM map.
Over-n'out!

And these, which are a ragtagging mashup of bits of Blimey's CMSF mods, mjkerner's Woodland asset and my own attempts at rolled sleeves, which are a wee bit ugly but serviceable https://ibb.co/N6hhSxJ :

Thanks! It's been a journey, that's for sure. And many miles to go before I sleep.
How I wish! But, I have to winterize before I can let folks book for summer stays. 😀

As we eagerly await the coming of CMFR, here's a quick status update:
I'm picking up the project again after a super-long break and am pecking away at what I can do without the new module materials. The later release date means that I may or may not make release of my project in 2020. My hobby time is much less than it used to be, but I'm still hopeful and dying to get this baby out. Currently, I'm focusing on updating all the building internals to what I have identified over time as the best design for tactical play and user-friendliness. I'm making good progress there. I had forgotten how detailed some of the early pics I posted were, and so have decided to go ahead and post a current shot of the master map from the same angle as that which started this thread. Enjoy. 🙂

Blasting in on a Partisan meeting.  Just imagine Partisans instead of place holders   . 
 
 

Oh great. I checked regulars though but missed those because I was looking for "technicals".
But here it is :
Heavy machine gun platoon (truck)
4 X pickup DShK Multipurpose vehicles.

Sweet. Thanks guys.

Yes, here is the turn with the new patch. 5 missed and 5 hit. Still not great but believable. Turn file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CtDDn2qYCVaLmhJ6Hi-KuYwEcL6mhJOR/view?usp=sharing

Spent months looking forward to your videos  hope you get back onto another campaign soon!

After a full year and a half I've finally finished CMBN's original Road to Montebourg campaign. Only took me a decade to get round to it after buying CMBN!

Here's the full playlist, there should be a link in the top right of the embed you can use to swap between missions:

Wait...scratch that..  Ta'fuh-...

 
NOooooo...!

 
$#%&!!!

 
Well, at least a late-arriving sniper team was able to bag the two slowest members of the MG team. And, the alley is mine, now. 🙂

Yorckscher Marsch, Der Hohenfriedburger, Preussischer Präsentier Marsch, Westerwald, Lore, Alte, Preussens Gloria along with the Panzerlied when playing FB or listening to Hapless or Mr Wales.

Did notice this in a little test today. The 35mm shouldn't need that much 'exposure' I guess. The CV seems to be expending ammo like a bradley, although the cartridge and ammo capacity is quite different. 

I also did some testing with the Gill today (because others reported it did weird things, but didn't notice that so far), and I did find something very odd. It seems that it's flight path is inverted, instead of going 'up' (as a top attack missile should, and the ingame model does suggest such behavior) it goes 'down'. When I use it from an elevated position, it works fine. However, my test today was in a defilade against targets on a higher plateau. All missiles (2 teams firing about 4 or 5 each) skimmed the ground and intersected with the ground before reaching the target. I guess it is reproducible if this is not a 'known' bug yet. ?
Between the c2 radio issues, the Gill and the CV90 I'm holding back playing with the Dutch too, unfortunately. I hope the next patch will fix these things, at least there is plenty of other stuff during the wait (I don't see a patch coming 'soon'  , because nothing was said about it until now).

Thanks for the kind words!
There is still one more post to come, with the final casualty tallies, a summary of the operation and a quick post-battle analysis. I just haven’t had time to finish the final post, but I’m hoping to have it done soon. 
 
I agree that it’s a good proof of concept for combining the two games into a hybrid AAR. I had a lot of fun putting this together and seeing it play out, and I have a few different ideas for future projects as well. Again, it’s just a matter of finding the time to actualize it. 

Street fight.

These are busy times even with all this outbreak situation on the go. Yet, thank you for showing interest in my somewhat artwork. Always great feedback from you bro! Stay safe!

The battalion motor pool, with the repair shop, is located a short distance to the west of Kvass in the village of Sazony.  The Motor Pool has several vehicles in the shop for repair.  The rarity level of the vehicles under repair will vary depending on the vehicle choice made in the vehicle choice scenario.  The mixed TOE may have something like a Nashorn while the common TOE  may have something like StuG III.  When vehicles are repaired and returned to service, they will be found parked in the yard of the Repair Shop.
Below a Hetzer tank destroyer is returned to service. 

The Hetzer moves out to link up with the Alarmeinheiten.
