While we wait the modding master to perhaps arise once again, I couldn't help myself.

So here's the first of a few mods of weathered vehicles for the Downfall module. Don't know how many I am going to make, but it certainly won't be all the new Downfall units.
Here's a Dropbox link for the Pershing - but it will only be temporary until the files have become available on https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/



 

Hi all, its been a while... in fact so long that I had to create a new account for the Forums... Anywho I started revamping some of my old work so it will play better in Game Engine 4.x and also I am back to creating some new scenarios (some fictional, some semi-historical)... Also redid my Combat Mission Site (haven't touched it in 7 years)... Since I lost touch with all the people that use to playtest for me I ask if you have feedback; Good, Bad, and/or Ugly that you submit that via the Feedback button in the site's menu... I have done extensive testing on the vs. AI battles but, the Head to Heads I have not been able to test... Well I am active again, who knows for how long but I do have a lot of time on my hands and a lot of scenarios/campaigns on the production schedule...  You can check every thing out at Fredrockers Combat Mission Site ... Enjoy

ah ok this mean 
Entering Stalingrad was life-threatening,  you can easily let your life, !!
all link with this town is a part of death...

(Infos, minimum,) Sorry writing to quick and don t check before sending my message.
I will pay attention...☺️
 

After reading through the forums of my favourite beer and pretzel Advance Tactics Gold (ATG) I read that it was possible to edit a save game, once edited, it becomes a new scenario.
Another post confirmed that it could be used for a strategic layer for a campaign. So I got to work on a CMFI campaign system.
So I started the game (the latest Phoenix beta version).
You can manually patch your Advanced Tactics game to the latest Open Beta Phoenix Version.
Note this is the patch for the MATRIX version! For the Steam version you'll need to enable the Steam Open Beta in the Steam interface (right click on the game in your library list and click Properties>Betas)
Now for you Matrix players:
https://www.vrdesigns.net/openbeta/Adva ... 40_061.zip
I started a new Phoenix Random game, once the scenario was created, I selected edit and began editing the Sub Formation files (STF's) and creating new ones.
So far this is the fruits of my labours.
 


In the screenie above there's a graphic for a German F.O. if anyone can get me one of an British/Commonwealth would be helpful.
Paratroopers:

Fighters: (not my graphics, credit to Ormand in the matrix forums).


Staff:


I began to build the TOE's straight out of CMFI, these will be the building blocks for any CM campaign.
In the ATG scenario editor, new units will be companys and HQ's will be Bn HQ's.
So I began with a British Reinforced Infantry Battalion (Brit R.I.B.)
3 x companies.
I've bungled all the squad and HQ teams as "rifles" so it easier to manage and easier to count the "Headcount" for CM scenarios.
There's enough slots to add LMG teams etc...

Inf Plt:

2 x Machinegun Plt:

Carrier Plt (recon)

2 x Anti tank plt:

Mortar Plt:

Poineer Plt:

 
Recce Plt motor rifle Bn

 
AA Troop 40mm

 
Recce Squadron (recce regiment).

 
Heavy A.T. Troop Armoured Bn

 
Inf Plt (Motor Rifle Bn)

 
Motor Rifle Company

 
Engineer Company

 
Infantry Company (Reinforced Inf BN)

There's a lot of work to get through still, each new weapon has to be given in game research data and production costs, which regime can/cannot research each weapon.
Then each tank type will also have to be done.
 
 

Stalingrad Baricady factory, nearly complete.

Yeh me 2. Lets hope he's ok. Cheers

Simply beautiful I LOVE your imagination and the result is always stunning and breathtaking, (have to googleinate to find the correct words) 😝
 
everything is there even our friends' fireplaces commons job  @Lucky_Strike and @RockinHarry !!
If only I could read the sign far away, it would be even better !! but soon when you put the mod available for everybodys I will be able to read it 😄
but where is @Lucky_Strike I hope very much he is fine ??

Behind the Baricady Factory, in Stalingrad, is the admin and school buildings, this is school number 2, I have no idea what it looks like ground level, but ok from above... anyone got any images of this area?

Very nice like always such a nice time for the details can be only @NPye.
Cannot wait to see on my screen.
PS: When my disastrous story is repaired I will start creating other interesting things again to leave a more disastrous design I am thinking of roads with various debris wrecks and all what can be added, and perhaps tank tracks encrusted  the roads and fields...
 

Ok again When I will be ready I will jump on it, and created something, I love yours ideas, this give me always the feeling to help and do things that will be helpfull on differents ScenCampMaps and this is a real pleasure,... but I m not sure that what you present us is really CMRT this is a total immersion, so different  so misterious so mystic beautiful so...really a good job Mister @NPye.
cannot wait to have myself on my pc When I will be ready 😝

Hopefully soon 🤞.  I had forgotten your predicament, but when you're ready we can fight.  That doesn't sound good, but it will be 😂.

Thank you, just see also the famous tractor FO in the building,  nice to see something helpfull, I will focusse on objects like this next time
Let me now what could be your need...

Hi 
Just a question regarding to the pdf file (about tank riders).
I was checking briefly, the pdf file, tanks are not able to have some "tank riders" like the picture below, but
the "capacity of places" to transport them is free, I mean can be wearing some peoples, is this a mistake in the pdf or this will be like this in the game ?
Many tanks are in this situation...
 
This is perhaps a bad interpretation of the transport capacity but it will be nice to confirm !
Also that the Pershing appear as Medium tank, this one is not from a Heavy category ?
 

 

Very nice like always such a nice time for the details can be only @NPye.
Cannot wait to see on my screen.
PS: When my disastrous story is repaired I will start creating other interesting things again to leave a more disastrous design I am thinking of roads with various debris wrecks and all what can be added, and perhaps tank tracks encrusted  the roads and fields...

This look like you have all miniatures on a dioramas that you just paint ! very nice !
 

This image doesn't reflect anything of the real Red Thunder that we know, the uniforms, the grounds, the grass, are not the same and the position of the tank riders, this view is much better as the original but is not real, this, should not be allowed, and this is a bad publicity, I think, customers have to have the correct view from what they buy.
I try to buy my games directly from BFC and so far I'm happy with the original version, (even when some are a little more expensive than the other versions), but that's another story.

When the time come back I will be all ears,Jacob !

also plus one for the music choice !😁

Thank you Jacob appreciated, I have to make the best of it calm down and drinking fresh !
"Wer nicht hören kann, muss fühlen" ! (oder so ähnlich) !!
How work the Opel Blitz ambulance ?
When all will be ok, I will take more times of yours wishes and trying to created yours need for hospital or whatever for yours Scenarios, Camp..
