Hi there
 
Time that some of us are waiting to CMRT module " the grand Russian Offensive Bagration"...
in a poor western region the Polish peoples prepare to resist and have the hope to receive some help to the Russian Army...
 
This is why I TRY to built a little mod...
I guess everybody saw the movie ...if not copy and past the link in your browser,  to see the trailer...
 
This is what I realise for the time.
 

 
But because I don t have enough knowledge’s in the modding world, uniforms are with a lot of bugs and far away to be finish yet, I am busy to  trying to modding some 
weapons like Sten and Kar98  to added to the " Shadow Polish Resistance army".
 
 
 Also the german troops categories SS, are not including in the CMRT module, than i have to pick up left and right uniforms from some Modders.
 

If somebody is interesting to lend me a hand I will really appreciated.
 
My goal is to added all these one...I made a mistake in my mdr mds files and dont find more who is what but soon...
I dont use Photoshop but Paint this is why the result are not perfect...for the time !!

Content includes...
Four "Bong-Hai Civil War" Era Campaigns- -The amazing 15 mission "Year of the Rat" by @puje,
-A 15 mission People's Militia concept campaign by myself (The Special War).
-A conversion of a 7 mission CMA campaign originally by @Fredrock1957 (now dubbed Major Nguyens Command).
-A, tweaked, 7 mission Urban "conversion" campaign (The Second Battle of Ikke) by myself.
 
Sixteen "Bong-Hai Civil War" Era scenarios -By far, the most impressive mission is the epic & original 'A miserable damn performance' scenario by @Combatintman.
-Most of the remaining scenarios are "conversions" (some of the scenarios from the 'Open Beta' have been tweaked).
 
One Modern era Campaign- -(Battle of Quy Ly- 4 missions) A rudimentary conversion of an old (very old) campaign by @RommL. Primarily an experiment in seeing what it takes to update a CMSF campaign, I made a few quick alterations and beefed up the opposition somewhat.
Nine Modern Era scenarios (one original scenario by @Sgt.Squarehead and eight simple conversions by myself).  
Three Quick battle map conversions by @Combatintman.  
Installation & set-up
The Heaven & Earth modpack is designed for CMSF2 version 2.03 or 2.04, it is advised that you use no other mods alongside Heaven & Earth as it is a complete package with a unique UI, sounds, scripts, special effects, vehicle's & weapons... many of which are swapped internally by the use of tags.
 
Place the mod pack into your empty mod folder in C:\Users\user\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\User Data
Place the contents of the scenario folder into your scenario folder in C:\Users\user\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Game Files
Place the contents of the campaign folder into your campaign folder in C:\Users\user\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Game Files
Place the contents of the map folder into your map folder in C:\Users\user\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Game Files
 
For Steam users...
 
Place the mod pack into your empty Z folder (you may need to create this) in SteamLibrary\steam apps\Common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\
Place the contents of the scenario folder into your scenario folder in SteamLibrary\steam apps\Common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Games Files
Place the contents of the campaign folder into your campaign folder in SteamLibrary\steam apps\Common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Games Files
Place the contents of the map folder into your map folder in SteamLibrary\steam apps\Common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Games Files
 
In terms of settings, because Heaven & Earth maps are often more complex than the desert maps of CMSF2, you may find it useful to slightly reduce your '3d Model Quality' settings. 'Balanced' or 'Improved' should be sufficient for smooth gameplay. Remember you can change your '3d Model Quality' in-game using Shift+[ & Shift+]. You can also toggle shadows with Alt+W.
 
Some of the newly created objects may look odd with shaders off. Alt+R will toggle your shaders in-game.
 
Changes from the 'Open Beta'

Right.
I just ran a couple of tests with 30 M4´s vs 30 PaK 38´s placed behind hedges. They were all in separate lanes, so each Sherman only would face one PaK. The PaK´s all had short cover arcs to ensure that they would not fire on the Shermans but let the Shermans spot uninterfered.

Whether they had crates, sandbags or nothing on the front made no difference whatsoever on the Shermans´ spotting abilities.

I placed them behind a normal hedge row. At the first try I placed them behind bocage, but the none of Shermans ever spotted the guns. So I changed it to normal hedges.

But as I said: They all spotted equally well - crates, sandbags or none.

Interesting article, thank you.

If anyone would like to playtest the CMRT Romanian Mod a bit, please PM me. I need a few guys to be eyes for us to help us make a good product. I will have a tiny scenario ready in about a week to show the playtesters some of what we have done. We = kohlenklau, @3j2m7 and @Juju with @Probus coming aboard just yesterday.
There is still work to do and iron out how stuff looks of course but a lot has been done.
