There are only 7 scenario's available for CM1 at the moment, and not the one you mentioned.

Its not completely authentic, but i'm planning to make a Saving Private Ryan campaign, with the beach landing, attacking the MG stationed at the radar station, passing through Neuville (where the sniper killed Caparzo) and eventually the big defense at the fictional Ramelle.

Recreating this battle based on BOB, is not a bad thing, the show was very accurate in most situations, btw, are you gonna add the Battle Of Bloody Gulch? Or is Carentan the last stop in this map?

Why, you a sharpaholic?

But it's the only best thing we got in how it looked back than, does anyone know what the position is in Carentan to see if it still looks the same after all those years, because i tried looking on Google Maps, but the town is heavily modernized these days.

Tashtego, a little word of advice, you are putting a little bit too much sharpness over those nice looking screenshots.

Maybe use one of the roads that creates a ditch beside the roads? Seeing that was the first place Easy dropped into when the Germans opened fire. But it's really looking great, could become the nr 1 map to download and play in the future. If you need people to play test it before you put it out there. I'm all in.

Thanks! And i don't know how i overlooked that Submit Button, maybe because the website is a bit busy looking. Is there anybody here, that is a experienced CM player that is willing to test play my map before it's released so i get the best out of it?

Thanks! Did some minor changes again today, added some elevation here and there. The map was very flat, the right side was very easy to attack for the Allies, so i added some elevation so the Germans have a bigger advantage when defending their camp. As a US soldier you know have to come down hill a little bit now. And about submitting a scenario, how? Trough Submit WebLink on the main page?

I don't buy physical copies anymore, only download, i already have two shelfs here full of games i don't even play anymore. From Hitman to Battlefield 2. So i will wait for the download option only for the Commonwealth Forces module.

Thanks, been making some tiny adjustments here and there after the first play throughs, added another tank for the Germans because you as allied already will get armor support and heavy artillery support. The allies are veterans seeing its August and they have been fighting since they had hit the beaches, the defenders have not seen much combat seeing they are the guards of the camp. I also have thinned out the forest a bit and removed some flavor objects because the map is a not a short load at the moment. Some new screenshots: Infantry marches into town: Someone is about to get a nasty surprise: Tank Destroyers clearing infantry from a building:

Thanks for the fast reply! *EDIT* Finished up the picture, now its play test time! And it was 170 x 170 btw.

So, started making my first map this week, i based it loosely around the concentration camp of Vught in the Netherlands, (than called Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch by the Germans). My grandmothers father was located there during the war and saw some terrible stuff. I still have his journal. My grandmother during the war was 14 year olds and lived in Nijmegen and endured Operation Market Garden while living in a underground bunker. It's my first map, so excuse any stupid questions or errors. Basically you will have to inspect the local cemetery where the local resistance forces have noticed strange occurrences at the cemetery, it's possible that the Germans are using it to get rid of POW's bodies. You can also play this map as the Germans. Next is to take the small town, with a fanatical sniper lurking about its extra dangerous. The local German forces are ones that were ordered to stay behind will the main German force fell further back. Their morale is low and they were not left with allot of ammunition. But they were left behind with a late era StuG and a tank destroyer. You will be given tank support together with highly motivated airborne infantry troops, these are veterans who have seen allot of fighting as its August now and are more than ready to free some friends that are locked up in the POW camp. Some pictures: (quick note, some things have changed already when taking these screenshots, like the main road of the town has different textures, and i use allot of mods ingame, like the Aris HD texture & addon pack and many more. Gjee, where oh where would that sniper be. Map is pretty much done here and there. Only don't know how to add a picture for the scenario when you click on the name in the Battle sub-menu. I looked in the manual and also on the forum, anyone?

Great looking stuff there. Now get back to work.

he got a medal for hitting a telegraph pole? :confused:Those crazy French give for everything a medal.

Don't know if this scenario has been made, but one where you are Wittmann with his Tiger tank who put down allot of tanks and vehicles before his tank got immobilized, that would be a good scenario, at the moment i'm working on one myself. One where you have to rescue POW's from a POW camp located near a small village in a forest...

If i can get my hands on some good aerial photographs of the town i would be more than happy too...

That map is indeed huge, take a long time to load and when all the units spawn, it becomes a slide show. I'm thinking of making a Market Garden related scenario, situated around the town of Oosterbeek where some terrible fighting took place. Seeing I'm from the Netherlands and my grandmother was 14 when MG took place (she lived in Nijmegen, during MG she and her family had to survive in a underground bunker, she is still afraid of heavy noises, especially fireworks,) so i got a bigger connection to MG. But i think i will wait for the MG module to work on that Oosterbeek scenario, maybe the module will even come with a Oosterbeek map itself. Regarding making scenario's, does anyone know a good place where you can find allot of good aerial photographs from from WWII where you don't need to pay for them? Btw, is there already a scenario out there of the artillery bunkers that Easy Company had to take out? That is made famously in Band Of Brothers.

War might be hell, but a videogame should not be... This is probably one of the main reasons why this game has never really caught on with a big audience... But i don't have much problems with user created maps i downloaded, the ones made by the developers are a absolute b*tch to finish.

What about a tank that can't push through a line of tiny bushes, and no, its not bocage... Artillery can't hit a damn thing whenever i play, been shelling a german unit for minutes behind a bocage wall, they just sit there and get shelled and don't seem to be phased at all by it. And than my mortars are out of ammo. The maps are far too small to flank, because if you wanna flank the MG nest in front of you, they always place a enemy team on the side you want to flank, and you can't flank anymore, because the map ends there, realistic my *ss.

So, when will this great map be available.

Actually, i had a severe PC crash, i save mostly everything on a external HD, but apparently not the save game from the game ...

So, reinstalled the game this week, no save games i see... :mad: So is there a way to skip a mission, because i have a genuine hatred for the hill mission, beaten it once, and never wanna play it again, i was in the mission after it, but seeing now i lost my savegames, is there a way to skip a mission? Maybe a save game from someone if a skip is not possible.

Just had the same stupid thing happen to me, got my anti tank team all neatly hidden in a building, a Sherman strolls by, i order the anti tank team to take him out, what do they do, they start firing their pistols and rifles towards it, Sherman turns it turret around, BWHAM! And my anti tank team is shot to oblivion...:mad:

You know what would be nice, if someone made a tutorial video, or just one while someone is giving hints or just a example how to do a good battle, that surely is good stuff for a noob like me...
