Maybe moving forward we all just post battle reports, technical info, and strategy reports. Stay away from posting personal court room testimony or whatever you'd call it. Just an idea. Or lock it

We are a team community!

I just added you to my ignore list.

TIK has finished Stalingrad. Spring of 2024 he says he will release a 3 hour documentary on Gazala 1942. The script is 27,300 words.

mon ami, the gun barrel is there in the 251/22 folder sdkfz-251-22-d-pak40-gun.bmp also a [whitewash] version I hope you and your brother and all your family have a fabulous new year. ~Phil

...to the usual paypal account?

I can be your coach and help any time. PM me. I recommend to just focus on creating the scenario itself. Use my cobbled together set of mods (at first at least). Later you can maybe alter the mods or tweak them. Scenario writing for CM is a good challenge with AI plans and points and briefings and maps and testing. Plus how will you do the "pistols only FJ's"... My last advice is to make the scenario much smaller than you want. Going big and grand is a sure way to have it never get finished. Fight the urge. Maybe you have experience with these scenario projects and CAN pull off big and grand right away. I don't know. Best wishes! ~Phil

I will put this idea on the table for you to consider. My brain has lots of ideas. I don't always say if they are good ideas. A scenario author could simulate the small groups of FJ landing with just pistols (crew with pistols and maybe with one SMG) by using dismounted vehicle crews. The normal vehicle crew uniform and headgear COULD be modded to display as FJ uniforms and helmets. The vehicles could be made transparent with icons also transparent with scenario author deploying the vehicle in a "fenced off" area of the battle map.

sure, standby, I will paste it here in a minute. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nhawptyba75vqkl/AAB2cBGA5UvFpasdj7lu2kfua?dl=0 I admit it. When it comes to CM stuff, I am like a guy with about a half-dozen girlfriends. I get all into one and spend a lot of time with her and then - "poof!" - she just doesn't do it for me as much anymore and I head over to another hot chick instead. FRANCE 1940 keeps calling me but it always goes to voicemail and I haven't taken her on a date in a while. CMAK2 AFRIKA I have some excitement going on. With that series I can roll in the hay (sand?) with British and various Commonwealth birds, French Mademoiselles, exotic Polish and Indian ladies, Italianas, German frauleins and even some 1940's Apple Pie American babes. I have a real faded relationship with my Russian Barbarossa beauty. I built a sauna for my fond memories of my time or 2 with that fine female from Finland. Don't forget the Kreta silky parachute pants hotties. I confess I have been eyeballing a Spanish Blue Division senorita upon occasion. ...BUT...KOREA 1950 has got me doodling her name at work and daydreaming of her all day. I told her to enjoy it while she can. Now I see the raven haired women in Palestine 1948. Bottomline is I did some Kreta stuff but then move on...as described above. The crashed German glider I could go back and try to finish. I say you should go for it. I can give 2 cents of advice as needed.

Here is my Crete mod with some scenarios and a forum thread you can take a look at. Feel free to use anything I have to assist your project.

I can do a variety of things that I call "fake lobster" but I cannot change the physics of the game code. Here is an example for CMFI Korea 1950... CMFI does not have the T-34/85. I use various resources to decide my best option to deliver a "fake lobster" version of the T-34/85. One resource I find easy to use is the ASL game with its counters and rules. This resource led me to decide to use the British Sherman IIA as the "host" for the "shell" 3D model from CMRT. The power of the gun, the armor strength, the crew size were a good enough "fake lobster" match. Making new vehicles I have also created new/hybrid/bastardized 3D models in a program called Blender to be the "shell" over a good enough "host". One example is a Hungarian armoured car called the Csaba. It had a turret stolen from vehicle X with guns from another vehicle Z, slapped on the hull from vehicle Y. 85% fake lobster with melted butter fresh off the coast of Maine.

No thanks. I think I am good to go! Happy New Year Tony. Oh, did you get to try the CMFI KOREA 1950 MOD yet? PM me if you have any review type comments.

Maybe not arrogance. I am not sure. I guess to them it is just a job. It is digital: good for their needs or not good.

@The_Capt I did 21.5 years in the navy. Not a ground pounder. I did pound the seafloor as a diver! Did 3 weeks with the army at jump school. That was enough. My one and only ROE story! Get the popcorn (satire). Cue the sounds of the sea. It was 1991 and my little minesweeper was clearing Mine Danger Area 10 in the North Arabian Gulf ("The NAG"). All of a sudden some hostile looking Boston Whalers came at us and we went to General Quarters. Our weapons were fairly modest. Mk19 40mm grenade launchers, some M2HB .50 cals, some M60 MG's. Flak jackets and kevlar helmets. The Captain said "weapons tight" and we watched the boats go by. The fishing nets were there piled on their bow and some odd looking mount thing. These locals didn't blink and went right by. We stood down and all was well. What is for chow? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now I work with veterans to help with VA stuff. I just had a client and he reminded me of something. He was in the USAF and was a contracting officer in Saudi Arabia. I don't know what is the current situation but "back in the old days" you were in trouble if your passport had an Israeli stamp in it AND then you visited an Arab country. We had to have a 2nd passport. I just mentioned that as a sign of the hostility that existed against Israel. Maybe nowadays that is not the case. Not sure.

Merci mon ami. I will analyze it and report if it gives me more Arabic voices. EDIT: Not much more is there. SF2 is NOT an exact duplicate of what SF1 had. The file counts are mostly the same or a bit higher for SF2. But it seems BFC didn't make Arabic voices for withdraw, surrender, capture and several other categories. I will have to come up with my own.

Years ago I tried a GoFundMe here. For that operational level game. I tried to prime the pump with $1000 of my own. It fizzled quick. No interest. Edit: my own mods help me bridge the gaps where BFC will never go. Imperfect as these mods are, I really enjoy them. The latest Korea 1950 has been tons of fun. Steve has written that he depends on modders to take the game where BFC will never take it. He gave an example of where he would never take it, he said Crete, so I made a mod for that the very next month. He never mentioned my name. BFC has never ever contacted me. All my requests or ideas for help from BFC to allow my mods to be better, like a special module with stuff, have been ignored.

Hahaha Tony. If I had a nickel for every time I ran RezExplode... Let me explain better. I just have the demo of CMSF2 I ask that somebody with the actual release of CMSF2 to get with me by PM so I can see if there are more Arabic voices to collect up for my mod.

Please PM me if you have CMSF2 and know how to use RezExplode and want to assist me. I have the CMSF2 demo but it only comes with (I think) a reduced set of Arabic voices. I am making a CMFI Palestine 1948 mod and need all the available Arabic voices. Thanks in advance ~Phil

Get out the red kettles! Ring the bell and take donations.

I did now. Thanks. Good stuff. EDIT: Does anyone have any articles that look into what Hamas thinks or is thinking or what Gaza "Palestinians" think of Hamas and the current war?

If I was in charge of the IDF, some type of defensible in court, evidence producing process would be in place to ease the burden on the fighting forces. Leaflets dropped on target area. Mission number in database with a/c tail number and pilots serial number. PA announcements in Arabic by Psyops Unit Yada Yada. Date and time of announcements. Observer is an officer. No children seen. Weapon is employed. Post mission BDA is documented. Improve the process as needed. File it away. Next mission.

Well, it is Christmas. This scenario challenge ends and was somewhat dismal versus the other 2. I personally didn't make as many as I wanted. I didn't see much new juice bubbling up. Oh well. Until next year!

Thanks for the report. I admit I have a bias. This thing in my small brain is like watching a buddy get a divorce. I want him to get the best deal. I am on his side. I know he aint perfect - but that bitch wife and her lawyer, screw them!
