Lots and lots of great ideas for France 1940 scenarios!

I will use some new images when you first see the scenario in the battle picker.

"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.
 
 

One of the Bronze scenarios is from the fighting near Stonne...
Battle of Stonne
Guderian ordered the 10th Panzer Division and Großdeutschland Infantry Regiment to attack across the Stonne plateau. In this innocuous town, a vicious two-day battle took place in which the Germans came face to face with the premier French tank, the Char B1-Bis, for the only time. One of these tanks, "Eure", commanded by Pierre Billotte, proved invulnerable to German anti-tank fire and took 140 hits, and knocked out 13 German tanks (two Panzer IV and eleven Panzer III) and a number of anti-tank guns. It transpired that the French had concentrated their own armour there to mount another attack on the Sedan bridgeheads. The battle of Stonne took place between 15 and 17 May, and the town changed hands 17 times. Ultimately the failure of the French to hold it meant the final failure to eliminate the Sedan bridgeheads.[81]
The path of "Eure" is show in the below map...

I made a call to "Butschi's House of Maps" and placed an order.

Thank you very much Carl. It looks awesome. 
 

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. 

Thank you very much Carl. It looks awesome. 
 

JSGME is a freeware to manage mods
Jones Soft generic mod enabler
Google and check it out, maybe download and install

I love it! Merci beaucoup

The french version 1940 of the R35 is finished (it's never actually over😭 ). No it wasn't me who did it, it's a friend...
2 versions, with or without Aris mods. My friend tells me to tell you that the turret also exists in 2 versions, with or without the ace of spades. It could be better but it's better than nothing ... he said, my friend, not me. I told my friend that Kohlenklau, the master of Blender, will certainly do another one much better, the starting level to do better being very low (if you have small children they will do better).

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!

thanks, kohlenklau.   the community is really losing  on of its greatest assets with your retirement. thank you for everything you've brought, given, and done.
 
cheers,

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. 

The sun rises over the sleepy village of Stonne.
Still lacking some detail here and there but even Stonne wasn't built in a day. 🙂

Yeah, I think that's right!

I am trying to figure out what head gear to plop on my France 1940 StuG crews.
I consulted with my personal STUG expert @Heinrich505 but he wasn't 100% sure.
Then I just saw this...

Wow! I have 592 subscribers to my youtube channel. I am amazed.
