    Glad to see this is still around out there and being updated. I just got tired of constantly having to update it for all the games myself, and dealing with the constant complaints from guys saying their text was screwy when it says MUST be updated with each patch. Have fun!

    Hi folks....
    Just an update that a new campaign from @theforgeris now available on The Scenario Depot.
    CMFB Rollbahn D -Full Campaign (thefewgoodmen.com)
    The Rollbahn D Campaign contains 35 linear scenarios built as historically accurate as possible.
    In other news thanks to the folk who have been emailing me regarding the missing links they have come across in The Scenario Depot.  I do believe that I have worked through the 700 odd scenarios and all links are now added... it was a beast of a job but I finally got there.  It doesn't help when sometimes the file names don't reflect the title of the scenario... but it is good that these scenarios didnt just disappear when the BF Repository shut down or GreenAsJade stopped maintaining CMMODs.
    Ive also been advised by a few folk about the comments regarding me and my handling of the Mods and Scenarios so just a quick post to clarify my position with a few points.
    Battlefront decided to discontinue the BF Repository...
    GreenAsJade offered to host the mods/scenarios on CMMOD's...
    GaJ, myself and a team of volunteers transferred thousands of files across from the Repository before it was closed...
    GaJ stopped maintaining CMMOD's and I did my best to carry on the work we started but without direct ownership I did what I could...
    My site The Few Good Men in agreement with Gary Krockover took over the names of The Scenario Depot and The Proving Grounds (from CMx1 fame) and we started hosting our own work under those names and added in The Mod Warehouse, it was not my intention at that time to become the guardian of all CM Mods and Scenarios.
    As CMMOD's became less and less active I came to an agreement with BF that the FGM would host the files using the CM Mod Warehouse and The Scenario Depot so that we didn't lose all that historical content.  That is part of the reason why the upload process is a little stilted - it wasn't designed for thousands of users to march in and start uploading mods.  It was set up for me to rescue any mods from disappearing.
    Now I hold my hands up and admit that I have been overwhelmed with the amount of content that I got, I was passed, salvaged, downloaded, was emailed tens of thousands of files and that yes I only have a certain amount of them up on the site and hosted as it is a continual work in progress and that is where we stand just now.
    Between having a family, full time job and other commitments I do what I can and would appreciate some understanding of the situation before commenting that 'I have destroyed the community or calling for me to be assassinated'.  A lot of people have been giving their opinion without offering a solution.  This is the best solution I was able to come up with to save the content at the time.
    The majority of costs are paid for by me helped out with some donations to ease the burden.
    I have said before if someone wished to take on the financial burden, has the time to invest in uploading thousands of files and the means to continually maintain the huge database and answer numerous queries on a daily basis then I am willing to hand over the reins.  But, I suspect like the last time no one actually wants to do that and would rather hide behind a keyboard firing insults at me so we are left in the position that I will carry on doing what I am doing with the full support of the guys at BF.  I will close with this...
    all files are backed up to a hard drive on a regular basis. I have a huge catalogue of files and am happy if you are looking for a particular mod/scenario, to check to see if I have it, if it is not hosted on the site yet and get it fired of to you.  If I fail to get back to you via PM or the like hit me up again.  I receive a tonne of correspondence every day and sometimes these do get lost in the maelstrom. Thanks for reading and hopefully this clarifies things a little... and if you want to take over the job feel free to drop me a PM and we can discuss.
    Cheers for reading....

    New mod CMFB Ploughed Fields Mod by rocketman

    All credits goes to Kieme for the ground texture that was a part of his Black Sea terrain mod. I have just added "mini" textures that matches the size of the FB stock ones as well as making one for the [cold] mod tag used in FB. Those textures are slightly desaturated and made a bit lighter to create a colder feel.
