I have the CMRT Romanian Mod playtest download link out to 5 people to poke it and prod it. If it clears them as playable with no glitches, I will post a link here for any interested folks. Help pass the time maybe?

...a link to a website with a cornucopoea..cornacopea...A BUNCH of info on WW2 Romania forces. Romanian Armed Forces in the Second World War

It is now 1405 in the afternoon of an autumn day in 1941. You are just west of the Baraboi River in the floodplains between Dalnyk and the Black Sea. Weather: warm, dry, light wind from the southeast, the sky is clear. ^ Earlier, some of our vehicles were ambushed by Soviet stragglers. Probe forward to locate and rescue any survivors. Secure a suitable location to await follow on forces. ^ Our forces are reorganizing from casualties over the previous days of fighting. Your rifle platoon is at full strength. ^ Your company commander believes you will encounter only stragglers from a depleted Soviet rifle division that has pulled back to their next defensive line. ^ Use your squads to probe forward and locate the crews from the ambushed vehicles. Wipe out any stragglers. ^ Primary Objectives: Up to 500 points for several touch objectives that represent checking houses. Secondary Objectives: Wipe out any Soviet stragglers. Secure a suitable position to await follow-on forces (500 points).

My back-up plan: I read the files in English with various Hollywood accents!

Wow. I don't have CMSF2 but seeing your work makes me want to rush out and get it!

The below is what is needed for all new non-German mods, even ones with some older CMBB voice files to utilize. Of course, if the language is not even in CMBB, then we need ALL the voice files (panic, chatter, etc.) NOTE (03/23/21): I am trying to get the below in Finnish and it looks promising. I am working on getting it in Romanian. But I don't yet have any source for Hungarian or Polish or Estonian. ============================ I went to study these files. In the game, there are nine types of phrases. The makers of the game had actors record each phrase in a slightly different way for variety. The phrases are for two different groups talking by phone or radio like you are used to! Group 1 is the infantry company or forward observer who begins the process. Group 2 is the artillery battery or some controlling person of the multiple artillery assets. The game simplifies this. PHRASE 1: GROUP 1 SAYS: "REQUEST FIRE MISSION, OVER" PHRASE 2: GROUP 2 REPLIES: "FIRE MISSION REQUEST RECEIVED, OUT" PHRASE 3: GROUP 2 SAYS "ADJUST FIRE, OVER" (Here the game simulates some spotting to get accuracy) PHRASE 4: GROUP 2 SAYS "ADJUST FIRE, OUT" (Spotting is conducted by infantry/FO) PHRASE 5: GROUP 1 SAYS "FIRE FOR EFFECT, OVER" (the adjustments are not mentioned) PHRASE 6: GROUP 2 THEN SAYS "FIRE FOR EFFECT, ROGER" (they confirm that spotter FO is happy with adjustments and now come the rounds) PHRASE 7: GROUP 1 MIGHT HAVE TO STOP FIRE AND SAYS "CHECK FIRE, CHECK FIRE, CHECK FIRE!" (3 times, emergency) PHRASE 8: GROUP 2 CONFIRMS THEIR REQUEST "ROGER, CHECK FIRE, END OF MISSION" (game simplifies that mission is over) PHRASE 9: IF NO EMERGENCY, THEN MISSION NATURALLY ENDS AND GROUP 2 SAYS: "END OF FIRE MISSION, OUT" (designated rounds used)

Hey JM, Yes, we need ALL NEW voices for a later project: CMRT Spanish Blue Division Mod I think it is good to start ahead of time to get them recorded.

I STILL NEED SOME SPANISH SPEAKERS! PM ME PLEASE!

They were done by the kind assistance of @umlaut I am working the art on Romanian tanker coveralls. @JM Stuff is working the art on the infantry uniforms. @Probus is getting up to speed on 3D blender so he can make some magic happen. I hope to have a tiny teaser scenario ready for playtest in 2 weeks.

KOHLENKLAU EDITORIAL: We have been waiting for 7.5 years for a module to CMRT. The sugarplum ferry dreams of Barbarossa for sure, probably even Don Campaign/Fall Blau or sadly even Zitadelle will not become reality until years and years from now or even await CMX3. So, my mods will always try to push the edge of what we have and what we can do to TRY to portray the earlier war phases with a balanced acceptance of what we can tolerate for realism and historical accuracy trade-offs. Right? For some purists of high standard, it will be intolerable. I hope those that download these new mods in the future, try with an open mind to enjoy them and understand what we attempted and why it isn't perfect based on our limitations as modders.

UPDATES (03/20/21): @Erwin has connected me with his cousin who is an actual Finnish Army officer. He and I, we're working together to get the artillery commands voice files in actual Finnish Army terminology.

Maybe your PM box is all full? I tried to send the below: Hi Dennis (1 n or 2 n? I am sorry I forgot) I wanted to ask you to mod some kind of Romanian armor for the mod...? :-) The list to pick from: 222, PZIVh, StuGIIIg, PzIIIn, R-35, a truck, ...? I hope we can release it for upload to CMODS in June. The guy who did the Blender work is 3j2m7. Phil

The modding to try and get us a decent representation of the Romanian M39 helmets is blender efforts by @3j2m7

Come here! I have some magic beans if you mod me that Romanian tank!

If anyone would like to playtest the CMRT Romanian Mod a bit, please PM me. I need a few guys to be eyes for us to help us make a good product. I will have a tiny scenario ready in about a week to show the playtesters some of what we have done. We = kohlenklau, @3j2m7 and @Juju with @Probus coming aboard just yesterday. There is still work to do and iron out how stuff looks of course but a lot has been done.

Meanwhile, somewhat earlier in the war... I gotta fix the sign!

@MikeyD I got a case of beer and about 3 various pizzas, what are your GPS coordinates?

@Probus For the trailblazers using Blender for CM modding, this thread is a lot of good stuff!

@Probus I accept your kind commentary on behalf of the many folks who worked on that mod with me. FREAKING FIVE AND A FREAKING HALF YEARS AGO! This F&R module is like watching an interstate highway get put in! I guess you are like me? You do an entire EXTRA install in Program Files (x86)? I personally found it so much easier and had the hard drive space so I figured what the hell. I have a Battlefront and a Battlefront2 folder with like ***FIVE*** CMRT installs. Stalingrad Mod, Finn Mod, Romanian Mod WIP, Winter Mod, regular. I think I was working to have a Winter Mod that could support quick battles too. The same thing for CMFI with an extra one for CMFI Africa Mod. The other games I just have the normal SINGLE install. With identifiable shortcuts on the desktop that path to the proper .exe Do you like to mod? Do you like to write scenarios? Please PM me and we can do something!

You bunch of slackers got nothing better to do? I got chores to hand out for some CMRT MODs. YOU! Mod me a Romanian tank! YOU! Record some George Enescu and save in 1411 bps for "music end of battle". YOU! Make some coffee, this is an all nighter. The wife is out of town....er..add a shot of Jameson. Thanks.

This mod should be resurrected this summer! @Suchy We look forward to your help as a native Pole.

Thanks Ian. I will do as you say. I appreciate the help.

PM sent. Thanks
