  1. Can't make up my mind if its a bug or accurate modeling.😁 Just playing with making a simple map. So I purchased a Blitz and clicked on Heer Stragglers. So when I gave a dismount command something like 20 men piled out of the truck! Accurate? Well I know when South Vietnam collapsed a C130 carried  a record 400+ men trying to get out of the NVA's way. So 20 men overloading a truck...I guess I can see it. Mission attached. No Soviets in just a truck carrying a bunch of scared men. Bug or Feature???

    Thank you for your 2014 credit on flavor objects.

    FWIW I use a ton of your Mods. Love your French Buildings. I was experimenting with a Dubonnet Ad...but like you the other building side mirrors it backward. Your solution works. Just put another building adjacent to the backward ad.  Why didn't I think of that😄

    I don't mod anymore for public release. Just for me now.

    Thank you again for credit.

    So many games soooooo little time.

    Hi

    I´ve been making quite a few new flavor objects for CMRT lately. And since I know many other modders and/or scenario designers aren´t aware of the techniques, I´ve made this little how-to guide.

     

    The guide comes in the form of a PDF file. Since it exceeds the max size of attachments allowed in the forum, I´ve put in Dropbox

     

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/whercbavxakwgyf/Adding%20extra%20flavor%20objects.pdf

     

    None of the methods I decribe are discovered by myself. My knowledge of computer files and how they work is very limited, so I´d never dream of opening and editing a mdr file on my own initiative.

    So the credit for experimenting and discovering how to do this belongs to the forumite: Tempestzzzz. I have simply been trying out the methods he has described in several threads in the CMFI forum.

    This guide is merely trying to present his discoveries in a bit more structured and accessible manner.

     

    Try it out - it´s not that hard :)

     

    - and please comment if there´s anything you don´t understand.

    I just submitted to Repository a new mod, it should be showing up for downloading sooner or later:

  5. Yeah-I'm reading ...

    I am not trying to take away what he did. I don't know if he even took it that day (unless someone comes up with some kind of documents on what was supplied to units. And even then..)

    Not looking to get in a forum fight or a locked thread.  Was thinking since this battle is so well documented if there is any indication how much rest he had beforehand. Have some pretty knowledgeable people here. Just looking for a timeline. FWIW

    People can then form their own private opinions.

    As I recall there was a wide variation in color shading of wool used in Heer uniforms, from green to Brown grey. The early war uniforms were more greenish but officers had more freedom in choices of uniforms. For example, notice that Stauffenberg in the movie, as in RL tended to wear lighter grey uniforms.

     

    Yes in the movie and in this photo taken July 15th it is pretty obvious the lighter grey blouse on Stauffenberg.

  7. Thanks Michael Emrys. Maybe-here is a scene from YouTube. I couldn't find any graphic, color plate or color picture to match this blouse to that particular time period depicted 43-44. All kind of blouses in these scenes for comparison. May have been a deliberate production value to make the character stand apart.

     

  8. I was watching the movie VALKYIRE and the actor Kenneth Branagh [playing General Henning Von Tresckow ] was wearing this officers blouse. Was this green common for Generals-Officers OR all ranks in the summertime? M36? Wool? Honestly never saw a blouse this green.

    Well at the site I'm listed as the author-but really it's hard to tell who is the sole author since CMFDR put as much in as I did in research.

    And he uncovered sources I couldn't find. Thanks CMFDR!

  10. When did these fall out of favor? Or is anyone able to tell me that they are still allowed on modern dress uniforms.

    They lend a quiet elegance to a military uniform next to the highway bill boards literally mounted on peoples chest on today's uniform. Those THINGS just don't drape well on a persons chest. I know when I was in the USAF in early 80's they allowed embroidered specialty badges and ranks before we changed over to the bus driver uniforms-that is my only encounter of everyday military uniforms with embroidery. Photos of General Doolittle,  Field Marshal Alan-Brooke and General Eisenhower to illustrate my point on ribbons.

    Okay they are Generals-but I have seen pictures of enlisted with these sort of medals.
