Will the demo have the schwimmwagen?

Let me know if it all works ok. Good luck.

Do you know where the CMBS games file folder is on your hard drive? Click around and try to find it. Then inside it is another folder for scenarios and another for campaigns. Plus some others. Put your downloaded apples in with the apples. oranges with the oranges, etc.

go here

space bar-space bar-back space-back space then ctrl-alt-# THEN enter "France1940".......

if they are in a zip or an rar or some other compression software, yes. you must unzip them 1st. Then put the apples in with the apples and the oranges in with the oranges. edit: after you unzip them you will probably see the readme that tells you what to do!

if a modder packed his mods as a brz, place it in with the other mods in the z folder. btt are the scenarios and go in games folder/scenarios

Soon with the next CMFI module I think we will have suitable ground to do a France 1940 mod bash up. versus waiting til 2029.....

To Australian CM fans. I am sorry the exchange rate will probably shaft you for CMFB. Perhaps this freebie over at CMFI can help a tad?

Now again..but in German!

The north Africa theater means so much to me. It conjures up my own youth when all of this was new and fresh to read about events of THEN only 30+ years before..relatively recent. My own father was a WW2 veteran and many of his friends and our relatives were as well. I personally feel seasonally out of the loop with the coming CMFB release. I will most likely wait to purchase it later in the year when I get my winter mood for Bulge battles. At that time I would also return to the CMRT Ost Front for some modding based on new 3D models from CMFB. Probably somebody will already have done it by then, which is fine. So, anyway, I have decided to hunker down and enjoy some CMFI Africa Mod. I know of at least a few people who have installed it. Please give a shout if you have played anything with the [africa] mod. I am working on some scenarios and maybe even a campaign. Maybe even a CMPzC Operation is in the works!

My 2 cents, 3 cents with inflation? ....then the poster hovers in mid air after the building is destroyed. Though I read that is fixed in CMBS now. I don't have CMBS. Plus I am pretty sure the posters are random and reload differently each time you would start the scenario. I now just mod the building and put my posters on the bmp directly.

We are good to go now! No skirts and we have short and long barreled 50mm guns. I cannot give you the early 37mm version. Gotta wait for BFC for that.

@Baneman @mirekm61 Do you guys want to decide on some moves and assaults? You need to probably close in on the town in the upper right corner to resume your flow of supplies.

Who wants to play this battle as axis? Come on! AXIS BRIEFING It is 0645 on Sunday 13 April 1941. Easter Sunday. Light wind off the sea to the north. Dusty, hot and sunny. You are south of Tobruk near the El Adem road about 2km from the first defensive belt, the "Red Line".... Your mission is to create a path through the wire, mines and tank ditches to allow the panzers to penetrate into the enemy rear. You are attached to Group Ponath as part of Machine Gun Battalion 8 of the 5th Light Division. Your men, like many others in the DAK, are exhausted and dead on your feet. But in Tobruk awaits cold beer and cans of pineapple! You must summon your final ounces of courage and determination to complete the assigned task. Preserve your force and use firepower to suppress the enemy strongpoints. Clear the mines and wire using demo charges. Fill in the tank ditch at the designated spot by (a) destroying the wall with demo charges and (b) using the rubble to level it off. Part (b) is of course simulated. The plans for the Italian-built defenses are in our hands and we have aerial recon photos. But we don't know many details on how the British have manned or equipped them. We believe the cream of their desert army has been siphoned off to Greece so we should only encounter relatively inexperienced, 2nd line forces. Achieve Points by reaching touch objectives and destroying enemy units. The majority of your Kompanie are with you under cover in a small depression. A few teams are struggling with the heavy weapons and are to the rear. A few teams have crawled slowly forward over the last several hours to close the gap with the wire. You have no significant artillery support as of yet. A Flak battery will arrive later in the morning to set up to provide direct fire support. The panzers are set to begin their movement at 0730. They will proceed toward your bridgehead in the wire, pass through you and onwards to rip open the Tobruk defenses. Follow on the tanks or in their wake as the situation warrants... ...it is early morning, 0645. Not fully light yet. The battle is 1 hour long. Watch the clock up at the compass in the upper right corner. You get several mobile 37mm Flak guns at 0700 arriving at your rear corner behind you. Your company of PzIII arrives at 0715 on your left flank. Good luck....remember it is Easter and Gott Mit Uns!

No Heinrich505, those are the wrong trousers!!!! I must pass you the mod with no sideskirts and even a short barrel Ausf G.

Heinrich and I tried the PBEM last night of my new scenario "Tobruk Easter Battle" but his system kept crashing during the turn resolution. A 2km x 2km desert map. I can play it fine against myself. Anyone else want to try the new scenario against me? I will make a smaller version for he and I to battle.

A couple Bofors rounds in the fuselage and we can rewrite a bit of history.

Heinrich and I lock horns tonight!

...and some "Roo-35's in support of the defense...
