Some news 
 
first for my friend @Aragorn2002 ONE of the red cross vehicles 

 
than again the idea from "Not introduce British vehicles" (in the threath CMRT Battle pack) this is the ones that I would like include, in CMBN, first as a floating Icons wrecks, than to replace the usual "vehicle in movements" like the British Bedford 
 
my famous chevrolet for the Canadian soldiers (they are waiting already since 1 year about !)
hull from the original Bedford with cabin and more from the chevrolet !
view from Blender the view from CM could be (will be) probably different.
 

 
also would like introduce the following Bedford without camo
 

 

 
and would like also introduce Bussing for heavy things and munitions 
hull from Opel Blitz cabin from Bussing for CMRT 
 
untill this moment there is a lot a lot of work 
more have to come

Some news 

 
Us Regular Infantry uniform
 

 
Us Armored Infantry Uniform
 
Personly I, like make a difference between Infantry vs Armor Infantry, this is why I represent my own confection!
The news are the Offrs 1 Lt with visible ranks, pity this appear only when they don t move ... in the movement the ranks move with the animation, little funny remark they are also smoking just for fun, cos I cannot represent the cigarett in 3 D!
I think the cigarett will not very accepted but for me is funny so probably I will keep only for me cos is not very usefull but this give the typical view of the GI s !
If I have to make it like a mod this is a question that I let you answer !! ??
Then working of my Rangers ... lot of works but lot of fun !!

Some news about helmets
 
<img src=

<img src=
 
Variant with infantry helmets 
 
<img src=
 
...also for Armored Infantry only some are available  !
Sadly that I couldn t do it in 3d, when I find the way to added 3d foliages... on helmets all problems will be resolve !

Nice screenshot @quakerparrot67, always nice to see my Germans that I spent weeks on to get the 1940 look they needed, including my new helmets variations with wire/canvas strap and leather strap around the helmets.

this is just what I want to said @MOS:96B2P, but I was searching to the correct page number to find the link, ...you cheat... with your rapidity !😆

I think is included in the big mod pack from @Aquila-SmartWargames himself but not sure I know that he has a Afrika mod, that it, I will check myself, also about majestic...

It is very complicated but I can try to explain it better. This is for myself or other beginners.
The mds file is like a computer program. A code to instruct the computer. 
In the mds file there is hexadecimal entries to tell the computer how to draw the 3D soldier model and also how and where to put each of the gear items on the soldier.
We cannot see exactly how the computer sees.
Each mds has the gear section of the code.
It is in a format that tells the computer what gear to get from the folders and where to put it on the 3D soldier.
We can edit this part to maybe change the gear or to change the location.
You must be very careful like a surgeon.
You must have a plan before you make changes. 
BEFORE YOU CHANGE THE MDS, THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS TO TRY.
Examples:
RENAME MDR FILES
Just simply rename a gear item mdr file. You can put a radio where the pistol holster goes. Rename radio as holster. Then put in z. Run the game and see the officer with a radio on his hip. hahaha This is funny and silly but it shows how you can change things BEFORE going into mds.
USE BLENDER TO CHANGE THE MDR
Blender can make the pistol holster mdr also have something extra or new or turned different.  Then put in z. Run the game and see the officer with a holster upside down? hahaha This is funny and silly but it shows how you can change things BEFORE going into mds.
WHEN DO WE EDIT THE MDS FILE?
Often we can put a new uniform on some unit. Example is the British shorts. It is only for allies British Army. Maybe we want it on the Soviet soldiers? In my small experience, it is possible by renaming and put in CMRT z folder. But the Soviets will appear WITHOUT ANY GEAR. So, we go INTO the mds and edit to change these formatted entries to the Soviet gear names. Carefully change the entries. It can work.

Again a real touch atmosphere !

Looks awesome! Just the hype material I need now that CMCW:BAOR has been announced.

To don't make confusion, it was to answer to Phill second sentence...(They are too busy...), I talk about BS "EuroUS" can only be help for Ukraine you have to thinking already about, if you read my text correctly, nothing to do with FI !
This is what I am expect !

I thought with CMBN out on Steam, it would be a good idea to make a video geared towards new players in order to help out with the basic gameplay.

Dear Kohlenklau,
I offer you a challenge: to improve the German helmet. A little flaw in the 3d design could be fixed. A detail that could make the helmet even more realistic. But it won't be easy for me to clearly explain where the problem is, that's why I made a picture to be as clear as possible and convince you that working on it would be a benefit for a better visual aspect:
https://www.mediafire.com/view/e5ru2grcf6eb1oq/Helmet_fix_propostion.jpg/file
The BFC helmet does not frame the face well, in question: the base of the helmet should cover the ear. The point of the angle that the base of the helmet makes to go up from the neck towards the forehead is placed on the ear, but it should be placed in front, ie further forward on the cheek. When the soldier's face is seen from 3/4 face, BF.C's helmet shows an empty space that does not exist in reality. This empty space could be greatly reduced by advancing a little the area of the helmet which draws an angle towards the cheek.
Of course you are under no obligation.

Very nice the uniforms are really the specifics aspect of the early war, sometimes  little details are very important ! 
Yes Belgium, so a little country but, saddly, full of important and decisive battlefield moments of differentes epoques...

1940 Panzerwaffe beret...

Au top I hope you dont recieve some engine and dusk smoke from your computer in your own house, because your UI  is already trouble 😆 very very nice picture nice moment to discover, the effects are fantastics, I am thinking to have your picture as my starting game menu, a really good shot !

I will meet you in the middle!
When I release the teaser demo scenarios with a smaller reduced mod pack, I will ship them the splash screen and loading screens ABSOLUTELY FREE limited time offer not redeemable in Alaska or Hawaii
CMFI FRANCE 1940 TEASER PACK 1:
I am hoping that the teaser demo scenarios with a smaller reduced mod pack are released next weekend 8 April 2023 off CMMODSIV as one zip file with scenarios, mods for z and an illustrated readme pdf.
 

Just in case that the german from @Damian45 would try to pass to the Albert Chanel  that eventual @kohlenklau could have a scenario in his box,  with some research from @Suchy to prepare a duel with @Falaise or @kevinkin or @Heinrich505 supported by @Ivan Zaitzev and @Vacillator and well commented by @Erwin...
I was prepared some older helmets for the defense of the Eben Emael fortress, and hope this time that they will put some heavy weapons on the roof of the fortress, to say a good welcome to these gentlemen falling from the sky...not that we have again A Deja vu...
 😆
(Just kidding boys)
