Bring it on that, Fuser!
-
Fabulous, sdp. Great job as usual.
-
Excellent find, Lemuel. Thanks for sharing it!
-
That's gonna hurt.
-
Fuser, thanks. I have been working off sdp's and Flesh's mods; will be glad to see your work.
-
Wish me luck. I'm becoming a bit daunted by it, but I'm slowly pecking away at it. It will be months before its done.
-
I tinted them with a sepia color In Photoshop to add warmth and a "ww2 like " effect. Nothing too difficult really.
OK, thanks. I'd been messing more with hue and saturation without getting the result I was looking for.
-
Thanks akd, I never noticed it in v100, especially with BAR teams. Then again, maybe I was just watching the action from farther away (RT) and lately I'm playing more WEGO .
-
Steve, I notice that dangerous trend sburke spotted yesterday is continuing unabated today. Stop it, or next thing you know, we'll be having a group hug.

1. Scout, scout, scout
2. Flank, flank, flank
3. Smoke, smoke, smoke (a cigarette while your shermans light up as well, but better yet, lay smoke when you can)
-
Thanks Steve. I didn't notice this at all in v100. Did the problem appear after the patch? Just curious.
-
I'm bumping this before it gets off the first page. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
-
Okay, will do. What about the trees and bushes? Are those a mod? They look just the right color to me.
-
Fuser, what desaturation mod are you using, or have you just set your monitor settings to get that subdued greenery? I like it.
-
Fuser, I'm at work so can't check, but did you send this to me? I think I volunteered earlier, but if not, I am now.
-
Okay all ribbing aside, nice to see the folks at BFC keeping discussions focused and openly discussing behavior/items that may need to be modified. Not many things you can buy these days that's value increases after purchase.
Thanks guys.
Boy I second that. Thanks Steve and BFC!

Actually in my first version I used B.A.R. for J. "Mad" Gigson. But after checking that paratroopers usually didn't use B.A.R. I chaged this team to Scout Team. "Mad" Gibson's team is seriously rocking with his submachine gun.
Play tip:
To achieve all objectives you need to be AGRESSIVE and advance QUICKLY. Your troops are better trained than rear guard troops you're encountering. It will take some time before German make countermove. So prepare you defences.
I've read Nordyke, so I always throw in a Bar team in a AB platoon.
I didn't dilly-dally from the get-go, and although I haven't finished it yet, things are going pretty good. I like smaller battles like this where I can watch the action better, and get to know my guys, so to speak. Nicely done scenario!
-
As usual, a fun and tense battle, De. But see the bug report on the other forum. Looks like maybe there is a glitch in the specialist team selection post-patch, or my comp is effed.
-
I went to play DeSavage's sharp little battle "Mouse Trap," and though it took me a while, I finally noticed that the bazooka team and one scout team were wearing the US infantry uniform, not the Paratrooper threads. I thought maybe Desavage had inadvertently chosen specialist teams from a regular infantry formation, but after a half dozen tests, it wasn't him. It's either a post-patch bug or my system has gone all barmy and such. [sorry I ever doubted you, Desavage, you never let us down before.
]Imade a new battle file, chose a Paracute battalion, got rid of everything but an HQ, then chose Specialist Teams (from airborne infantry), starting at the top of the list and purchasing one of each from the top down. Then deployed them. I did this 5 times. The first team of any that have more than one option, like scouts or bazookas, is in the parachute uniform, and other teams of that type are in the infantry uniform. Single teams, like the BAR, are in the infantry uniform only.
The ones that get the wrong uniform are:
scout team 2
FO team 2
sniper team 2
light mortar and bearers
57mm and bearers
.50 cal hvy mg
BAR team
bazooka teams 2 and 3
breach team 2
Is this a post-patch bug?
-
Never thought of it before, but that would be a nice fix for snipers, BAR teams, and small MG teams.

rocketman, all in good time. I haven't started the street layout, the buildings, or the road up the mountain face...my goal is to try to have it finished in maybe 3-4 months, my target date for the Commonwealth module.
Erwin, Roger that. I will "chunk off" the RR Station and have the Maori battalion's February attack on it as a separate scenario. TheMarch attack from the north probably won't feature that southern area of the town.
Mind you, this all may go to dust if I can't get the map right and look good. But maybe some testers will help out when the time comes.
-
But the Moari Haka is pretty deadly. At least to opposing soccer teams.
-
Fuser, as it stands, it's about 1600m x 1600m and includes (E-W) Castle Hill to the Rapido, and (N-S) the RR station to that 90 degree bend in the Rapido north of the town. It wasn't too hard to get the landmarks laid out--Castle Hill, the Nunnery, RR Station, abn Hotel Continental, and I have quite a few aerial photos and pencil drawings of the town just before the Third battle--Google was mostly worthless for determining the size and layout of the town in Jan-May 1944. Thankfully, it was much, much smaller than it is today.
What I'm worried about is how this will play out, since rubbling is not modeled well IMHO in CMBN, and not sure the Fallschirmjaegers are going to get as good protection from the destroyed buildings as was historically the case.
Broadsword, sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread.

Also, while the 29th and 4th were green from a combat perspective, they had been training--HARD--for two years. The 29th's training regimen was about as rigorous as the 101st, judging by the memoirs of Sgt. Bob Slaughter.

Stoppel, I like your work. Great stuff! Could you do some uniforms for the Herman Goering Fallschirm-Panzer Division based on their summer/desert sand-colored uniforms they wore in Tunis and Sicily? sdp did a great set of uniforms for the HG F-P Division for his Italian Mod, but it doesn't include any sand/dust/dun colored stuff, and I'd like to add a little variety that mod.
