ooops. I misread. I thought you saw NO whitewash. Please post some screenshots of these SAME EXACT VERSION 251's with some whitey and some not whitey. Also, what vehicle mods do you have in z for the 251's? I THINK if you have multiple 251 regular non-modtagged hull bmp files hull, hull 2, hull 3 etc. AND THEN SUMMON the whitewash modtag BUT don't have modtagged hulls to match all your others, maybe it summons the non-modtagged to fill the "set of available file numbers". I see this when I mod a helmet. I fulfill the stock number of files but thne some forumite has a bunch of extras numbered HIGHER than stock and they end up pulled in.

@Jace11 You are awesome.

I tapered back my production rate so I am at a sweet spot with NOT being so discouraged. Well, if folks are quietly enjoying it, I am fine with that. It has almost 1000 views in CMMODS for whatever that indicates. Maybe like a fat chick at a bar late at night near closing time, lots of looks, but who takes her home? https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/combat-mission-fortress-italy/cmfi-other/cmfi-france-1940-mod/

Try going very close and observe, like you are right next to the tank. Let me know if it is ok up close. Then I can tell you how to fix this issue with some simple file renaming.

I will try. My old man eyes already see I might use the CMRT Gaz MM truck with a box on the back. SELFISH PLUG: - - - > Did you happen to check out my DAR for the May 40 battle at Les Attaques?

I looked but no longer have it

mess with the month

The light tanks moved forward to finish off the British left flank. This revealed their backsides to the right flank and some hits were made by the right flank Boys ATR. I do not know yet if I immobilized any of the tanks. My hopes for a KO tank were dashed when I saw the turret turning toward my right flank sections. The right flank platoon HQ had only one magazine for his SMG. He used it at the perfect time as my opponent launched an assault through the brick wall opening on the far right. Get your own cabbages you bloody bastards! Soldiers on the left flank are surrendering... As the next turn ended with 11 minutes remaining, fresh German troops had swarmed across the canal bridge headed both left and right. More and more of the lads are KIA. The current Les Attaques canal bridge off Google Earth. TO BE CONTINUED

This last minute was a brutal one. Both light tanks have cleared the road-block. Their firepower cut down the left flank platoon leader and several of the sections. The left flank ATR has a clear shot but his morale is fading.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. 14 minutes remain on the clock. Our brave lads of C Troop started off with 55 men. They have suffered 6 KIA. It seems Jerry made an assault with 2 squads and just about all are now eliminated. The grenade supply has dwindled. A few of their soldiers are unaccounted for. Perhaps stuck in defilade behind the high brick wall out in the street on the British right flank. A platoon HQ crossed. You could see the radio. Luckily, they only had rifles! Because the officer was KIA crossing the bridge I saw in the replay. That light tank seems focused on Gladstains and his Vickers. I fear he had a rough time in basic training with a name like that! But that shift of focus by the tank crew might allow the left flank ATR to get in a few more shots. Is this light tank the same one that took a hit before? It might be the OTHER tank. I guess we shall see. The mortar near the Vickers is dialed in on that light tank. If the Panzer I still slowly pulls from the road-block, we might see a mortar take out that thinly armoured tank. The other mortar on the right flank is set up by a barn and has a keyhole view to target the far side of the bridge near the whorehouse. That right flank mortar has cover from a sniper and a panicky but now rattled Bren gunner. The missing German soldiers might head that direction. That could be ugly as one had an MP40.

The battle continues! A Panzer I has slowly moved down the main road and observes from a position next to the church courtyard. The German infantry look on the town from the hedges across the railroad tracks. @Damian45 uniforms are awesome! Both Light Tanks are on the bridge and attempting to suppress the British. A mortar crew is hit and suffers the first casualty. The left flank Boys ATR gets off a shot that strikes home at one of the tin plated Hun! Another team is hit by fire from the Germans in the 2nd floor of the village whorehouse. Just seeing if anybody is reading this! A fresh group of Germans arrive by truck and make a rush across the bridge! Gladstaines - on the Vickers - covers straight down the main road but himself is under fire from the Panzer I. One of the light tanks seems to have cleared through the road-block! What looks like a platoon HQ has also rushed across the canal bridge

Cannibals? No worry at all. If you want, I can walk you slowly through it. It is just RezExplode to get the MP40 and Thompson animations and take them to z and rename one for one. Easy as pie. If it doesn't work, you delete it all and press onward. Been there and done that a time or 2.

Please do a forum search. Maybe somebody did change the MP40 animations. I took a look and they seem to be specific to the MP40 so maybe that mitigates the possibility of undesired effects. Do the Thompson animations look like they would work for the MP40?

I don't know Jacob if anybody did it. I think that would just be a renaming of an animation. Warning: Changing by renaming any animation to improve the looks of one specific soldier action CAN affect the look of other soldier actions detrimentally.

Good morning from hot-hot-hot Texas! Lieutenant Barr observes from the Palais De Justice. Using my [tuffhaus] mod, it is really one of the heavy duty churches. Custom roadsigns on sale now from my E-bay website! j/k Jerry motorized infantry disembark from their trucks behind the village cemetery. The British view down the "Rue de Ville"...a Jerry light tank (Panzer I Ausf A) has made a right turn onto the street leading to the canal bridge. Private Blodgett has the ATR. His platoon leader, a sergeant is right next to him for moral support. Blodget has only fired 5 rounds from the Boys during his training back in England. TO BE CONTINUED

My OOB is somewhat ahistorical but I also have gone to CMRT to have an anti-tank rifle so cut me a break! The British Army used the Boys Anti-tank rifle. Nowadays the feminists have pressured the MOD to also issue Girls Anti-tank rifles. Corny Jokes 2 for a dollar! ...and I brought in one of my Universal Carriers as well. I have the two Boys ATR's, two 2" mortars, a Vickers MMG and 2 platoons of infantry. I have used splitting squads and an SMG filter to remove all but 3 SMG's off the Allied side. My soldiers have only Enfield rifles and Bren LMG's. The battle is 25 minutes long and already we had sound contacts and 1 soldier saw two light tanks headed from the south-east. Panzer I's headed our way at high speed sir! TO BE CONTINUED

Les Attaques, France. The enemy view north from the railroad tracks towards the canal bridge... A road-block is set up on the canal bridge. No bus was available. I tried free 3D models but none looked 1940-ish. The owner of that French sedan will probably spend years trying to file a claim for damages. Le VIN number is trois deuz trois cat sank huit.

CMRT BEF1940 MOD GREEN JACKET'S BRIDGE The following series of PBEM screenshots and commentary is respectfully dedicated to the actual man who led the British forces at the battle portrayed...2/Lieut Robert John Barr, MC. Barr, Robert John - MC Rank : Captain Army Number : 92683 Unit : 44th AA Bn, 579th LAA Regt Biography : Educated at Stamford School, Bobby Barr played rugby for Leicester Football Club 241 times between 1928 and 1938, and was Captain 1936-38. He also played once for the Barbarians F C in 1935, and three also times for England. He also played cricket occasionally as a wicketkeeper/batsman for Leicestershire CCC's 2nd XI. Commissioned 2Lt in The Royal Engineers on 19.7.1939, he served in 44th (The Leicestershire Regiment) Anti-Aircraft Battalion RE (TA), which converted to a Searchlight Regiment RA in 1940. Serving in a different unit he was captured in May 1940 during a rear-guard action at Boulogne, and was awarded the M.C. for ‘gallant and distinguished service in the defence of Calais in May 1940’ (L.G. 20.9.1945). He was a prisoner of war in Oflag VII B as at 28.2.1943, where at Eichstaet in Bavaria he was a member of the escape committee and escaped himself, being captured four miles from the Swiss border. He was repatriated in 1945. In 1949 he was serving as a Captain in 579th (The Royal Leicestershire Regiment) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment RA (TA) in Leicester. After the war he founded the hosiery brand-label manufacturing firm of 'Barr, Ratcliffe and Co' at Sileby and Oadby, and became a member of the Worshipful Company of Framework Knitters. For Leicester FC he was Team Secretary 1946-57, Honorary Secretary 1957-62 and President 1962-65. He died in 1975, aged 68 years. The above information is from the below link. https://royalleicestershireregiment.org.uk/entity/71117-barr-robert-john-mc?q On the 23rd of May 1940, the invasion of France was just shy of two weeks in progress. The First Panzer Division had fought through the Ardennes and then through Sedan towards the channel coast. The Division's Kampfgruppe Kruger was now headed east, south of Calais, towards Dunkirk - where the BEF was assembled for possible evacuation under Operation Dynamo. The War Office sent reinforcements to Calais by ship from Dover (a battalion of tanks {3RTR} and roughly 3 battalions of infantry). The confusing story is very well told in Airey Neave's "The Flames of Calais"... "Kruger's assault group of the First Panzer Division continued their advance eastwards. After he had beaten off an attack by the Third Royal Tank Regiment between Hames-Bouceres and Guines, his light tanks advanced to the St Omer Canal at Les Attaques, eight miles due south of Calais. These light tanks were reported to 2/Lieut. R.J. Barr, commander of C troop, 1st Searchlight Battery, at Ferme Vendroux, south of Coulogne, at noon. They were making for the canal bridge at Les Attaques. With about fifty men, Barr doubled back through Coulogne to hold the canal bridge and crossroads, where he formed a road-block with a three-ton lorry and a bus. After sending for reinforcements from the 2nd Searchlight Battery at at Pont de Coulogne he waited for the German tanks..."

Yes, indeed. We matched each other pint for pint if I recall correctly. Great time and a great trip.

Vacillator knows what he is saying. He is both British and from my personal observations has significant experience in getting loaded.

Cut yourself a break buddy. Just make it 10! You figured it out. That is all that matters.

I played it against myself. Lots of excitement I thought. I still gotta "BEF" those 2 truck roadblocks.
