Happy to announce that the long version of MISSION BOSTON - OBJECTIVE LA FIERE - EXPANDED has completed final play testing and has been posted to the Scenario Depot III. Final play test went smoothly including down the various branches of the campaign.
The campaign is tough but is winnable. The campaign is extremely historical, meaning that two huge and long scenarios are about 'avoiding' action while the AI searches for you. In one or two other situations you are more likely to be defeated than win but do not be discouraged. Try to inflict as much damage on the German AI as possible as this will affect the core units file and German strength in following scenarios. Nearly all of the units involved in the campaign are part of the core units file. There is a lot of AI activity going on that you will not see. German units are on the move, frequently triggered by your actions.
If you get booted from the campaign you might still earn a measure of victory. The later you get booted (if you do) the higher the victory level. What is implied is that the Americans are going to win this campaign regardless of your performance. Getting booted means that you failed to accomplish your tasks within the timetable Ike demanded of you.
Thanks you very much @WimO, for this big update, really appreciated the time that you spend to give us the best of, (never be satified with yourself, like every modders, that give more and more), I am busy now, but I will have an eye on your finished job, thanks again to share it !

I am the shadow... or the invisible doppelganger.
JM are you sure you can't make the trip as well?
yes, but invisible or not, your antennas have betrayed you
So sorry guy I have some problems for now, but... thanks for asking, really appreciated, this is why, my sweet and I, have postponed our trip to northern Spain... I propose to ask Stephane @Falaise, I think he will be a perfect guide to explore Saumur, you will have a story in real (and a flavour of beers and more..., one day this will be my turn 
)... from the Normandy I guess is not toooo far he will be perhaps available the duo changing in trio... envy envy !!

Last night I added a Lloyd carrier roadwheel to my Panzer I Ausf B in place of an existing roadwheel.
The first test it ran but in an odd wobbly jumpy manner.
I then went back and carefully matched the x,y,z size and x,y,z position.
The next test ALL roadwheels vanished. sad sad sad
So maybe I will switch away from the T-70 hull.
It is fun to try.
Yes and you know also, that the result from blender to CM is already long and...sad and with a lot of surprises (WDGAWYS) you don t get always what you see !!
I think also that you are working to much or you think to much, look !!, you are already... in restaurant somewhere in Europa (joking)
-
All right, this mean, I will have another try, you did already much for this mod, with all levels and headaches, thanks to yours advices !

It needs just the 47mm gun and less armor so in my opinion (2 Eurocents) it is not good to use the Archer.
If (Le grande "if") you can find a solution then it is an interesting addition to the CMFI France 1940 mod. Merci

Ok, than I am sure you will find something different, ...searching correct Armor and Calibre vehicle, is not my world, I m lost !

5 minutes ago, kohlenklau said:
I think it is not a good match because of the thicker armor. But if you want to use it...
Does CMFI have the Archer vehicle?
If yes, find the exact name of the Archer mdr file. ****.mdr
Then you take your blender creation untitled.mdr and rename as ****.mdr
Put in z folder.
Start CMFI.
Purchase an Archer and it should appear as your creation.
I could have a view like you said, just curiousity ?
I want only help, is not my mod, so is up to you !

It is a difficult project because it shoots to the rear but was thinly armored.
At first I thought you might use the Archer vehicle as the "host" but I checked and Archer has much thicker armor.
It is good to try!
Thanks, so you mean I keep the Protze view with the Archer name and host for the gun barrel, and rename in what with the modtag ?

New test !
Trying to make a Laffly from a Protz with now a gun barrel of a Archer with a italian name like Semovente is not really easy, this happend always when the brits have something to say, (like driving to the left), when the rest of the world driving from the right
Ok seriouse now

I was just making a little test !

This is a difficult task. As already shown, there is a good mechanics donor in the form of L5/21. In contrast, there is a lack of donors for the 3D model. There are no vehicles on the Panzer I chassis in the CM, and there are no vehicles with a similar chassis. As far as the turret is concerned, after removal of the cannons and some rescaling, the structures from Luchs, T70 and PSW 231 are somewhat similar. Obviously, strongly extending gun barrels are needed, maybe from Stuart? Chassis? - Maybe a T70 or even better a Wiesel from CMSF2 extended by 1 wheel . Hull??? - Luchs somewhat similar ... An exceptionally difficult task ...
Imagination is your strengh @Suchy when we know how is really work we can created the Poland 39 with some little vehicles that we can take left or right guns or only hulls !
Have to ask Dr Frankenstein to make the metamorphose ! I dress already a list
18 minutes ago, kohlenklau said:No, I didn't. I am just playing in the laboratory like Doctor Frankenstein.
I see now it is an Ausf B due to 5 roadwheels.
I think I can add some small pistol ports (just in closed dummy positions) and TRY to change a few armor plates to better get to the shape of the Pz I.
The L3/35 is a damn good stand-in for the Pz I...(no turret but I do have the mount moving a little like a turret)
Now I just need to make it look better.
Very nice job like always,
here is a list of vehicles that you can eventual use for little calibre like in the beginning of the 40 !
I will also check some myself in blender and perhaps I will be Igor on the side of Dr Frankenstein !
Daimler
Flackpanzer hull
Grille hull
Humber
Humber Irc
Loyd
Universal carriere
M12 Hull
M20 ac
Marder I Hull
Otter
Lyncx
eventual Valentine

Hull: I started it as a prototype with the T-70 hull. At first I tried the Lloyd carrier to get the antique style spoked wheels but it had an odd hull in other areas. I will try to back fit the spoked wheels. Maybe add the horizontal tie bar.
Turret: I am using the turret from the 231 8-rad. I have scaled it to .75 and doubled the mg's and deleted the cannon. I am fighting a few Blender mystery issues but so far it performs well.

But now I go to my office job for 3 days. I will mess with it at night.
Very nice and prometting job, did you use hex editor first to find what you want to swap ?

Yes the tank was recovered in the pocket of Falaise in late August early September 1944 in the village of Bierre exactly.
I had the opportunity to discuss with one of the resistants who had participated in its recovery and that he used it.
The French have recovered a certain number of tanks: pzIV, panther and tiger. They were used in the battles of the Atlantic pocket where the Germans had none, thus avoiding the risk of friendly fire.
This tiger was baptized Brittany which for us Norman is an affront.
he no longer had an optic and the witness explained to me that he looked through the tube to take aim. It was used as a mobile artillery pieceYou are making a Very interresting job!
This must be sometimes moving to retrace the story with "real actors" !!

Here's another picture of "The Man with the Big Cigar" in Mote Park, I think that the officer with the swagger stick is saying "There's nothing to worry about Prime Minister, I'm sure it can take the weight of your drinks cabinet".
I like very much this guy, all what he did the vision that he had all his quotations and talk about Soviet Union and the rest of the world !

And to you Vacilator, dont drink too much, (joking), the reputation of the English men and beer is not a legend, and don t be a hooly with uncle Phill, (sorry I have to check your profile to see if you are really an English man, Scotish or Irish).

I wish you both a nice time and let us know about your adventure with your Europa tour !
PS yes indeed is nice to see the Goody Bag full again !
just a +1 one is irrelevant for me, Idont care about points, but a little more motivation in texting will be welcome friends, and that wherever I start a conversation on a thread, me or any guy on the net, this is really welcome...

While reading another discussion forum I discovered this Youtube video which visits the location of scenario Drive on the Dreijenseweg from Market Garden module.
https://youtu.be/A5TuMtTbzr0There is another video at this same Youtube account which visits the real world place of scenario Counterattack at Son.
Very nice video, good representation and comparison with the actual place, very well documented and detailled, I like very much this kind of clip.

your retirement is in fact "a hidden moment" for the moment, towards the beginning of other diabolical facts and creations, that you will realize in another box, worthy of BFC, Graviteam,... I dare not think that you will remain inactive very long after this brave mod France 1940.
