You are very welcome. Thank you for the kind words. I know you are neck deep in France 1944...but if you ever get a hankering to make anything France 1940, just holler! There is a guide and I can try to answer questions and give advice for how to best manipulate the mod's elements.

A quicky job but I kinda like it. I have different markings going on soon. BACHILLES .K and some other card markings company symbol

The scenario does start with a **burning** panzer! Like the action is in progress...

Right now I am thinking I will release the SILVER PACK late this weekend. It adds the above interesting early war tank and the Panzer IVD. It will ship with 2 or 3 new scenarios. One scenario I just started last night is really tiny but I got inspired. FR40B DER GIGANT May 1940. Near Stonne, France. A German pionier squad must destroy a French Char B1 bis. Play as axis versus allied AI. 10 minutes. 208m x 208m map.

In case you do your maps the old fashioned way, here are some sites to get overlays. For France... https://elevationmap.net/ For Belgium... https://topomapviewer.ngi.be/?l=en&x=718104.40&y=659377.17&zoom=7&baselayer=crossborder.topo The last one was already zoomed to the area I am now doing a 1km x 2km map of rolling Belgian farmland.

@Bootie Maybe you are busy as a beaver and my GIGANTIC MOD blew your mind. So, honestly, what do you think? Is this something you will host from CMMODS? Please let me know what is best. Thank you sir.

Merci Gracias Grazie Domo Arigato Danke Schoen

A screenshot from a scenario by @kevinkin FR40B FIREFIGHT AT ANNELLES We are preparing the SILVER PACK for release in a week or so...

This image comes from "The Blitzkrieg Legend"... I ordered this book today. The version in English of course!

I stumbled upon this website which has some interesting stuff on France 1940. http://pentagoetsa.com/Pen_Prod_F40.html

Lots and lots of great ideas for France 1940 scenarios!

Mrs WimO has intercepted all new inbound CM content and flagged it as spam.

Thank you very much Carl. It looks awesome.

I love it! Merci beaucoup

Maybe I am the jack of all trades, master of none type! The community has folks with awesome talent that outshines anything I ever cobbled together. I do hope that MORE folks try and be brave and "create content" with scenarios and campaigns and mods and such.

Hi Rob. Before I retire in July I do plan to take a look at all my older mods and TRY to straighten them up, maybe apply some new things I have learned to slightly revamp them, then offer them to CMMODSIV.

"FAKE LOBSTER" continued Continuing my lecture on the elephant in the room..."fake lobster" I call it. Fake lobster is when what you see on the screen is not 100% what the game engine thinks it is. ~~~~~~~~~ D. The Armor mods: 2. AXIS d. StuG III Ausf A (early StuG with just the short-barrel 75mm) I started messing with this over in CMRT for my Barbarossa mod efforts. I had always wanted to try and make a scenario to depict that famous splash screen from CMBB. The early StuG with the German soldiers in Greatcoats approaching the Soviets hiding in a destroyed building. Here it is in case you never had CMBB. I had a couple options. Use along-barrel StuG and Blender mod it to look short? That would just be too powerful. I had the actual gun with the PzIIIN but I was already using that with the PzIVD mod. Plus it was turreted and would not portray properly. Hmmm. I then thought to use the Stummel 75mm half-track. Well, then the armor was way too thin. Oh well. I went with that. BUT HERE IN CMFI I RECENTLY HAD A BRAINSTORM AND USED THE ITALIAN 75MM SP GUN! I think it was a great solution for France 1940. Give it a try by playing FR40A STUG HUG! Also tucked along with the Bronze "plus up" is a Krupp Protze and a Kubelwagen wearing France 1940 textures.

FR40A BRONZE "PLUS UP" IS READY FOR DOWNLOAD What is this plus up thing kohlenklau? -It is like a patch to fix my mistakes (only human!) BUT with some bonus content I decided to tack on. And a new scenario with the StuG. AND I have a new emblem to show how to play the scenario. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b1xxqze5cnnuq6o/AAAbeTl95UlC8Zo8MoXQ_uIca?dl=0 Put the scenario in your CMFI scenario folder. Put the mods in with your CMFI z folder next to the previous Bronze folder. The only one to worry to paste over what is already there is the optional string file in the Nice to Haves section. If you have any questions, just holler out or PM me. Remember our motto!

I know you have your OWN project on the kitchen stove so I do again say a big thank you for coming to help me with my FRANCE 1940 project.

On a separate topic, I continue to be amazed at the stories from this short part of WW2 that would make excellent scenarios or even a campaign. This website shows some great "scenario seeds", as I call them... http://johnsmilitaryhistory.com/Sedan1940.html
