You are welcome JM, I spent a lot of time on getting the uniforms/equipment and helmets as close as the real thing! I'm very proud of what I have made so far for all to enjoy. One more surprise coming in the near future. 🙂

Hola JM! I hope all is well in España con M, E & S.

"Santa Damian" has placed another bundle of early Christmas joy under the forum tree! @Damian45
THANK YOU (AGAIN) DAMIAN!!!
Waffen-SS in smocks
Waffen-SS in regular uniforms
Screenshots will be edited in as I sip my coffee...
EDIT: I will probably miss the 1 hour window to post them here in this post. I have to first rename them and add modtags. But I will display them this morning.

paradoxically I am much more comfortable with the British uniform than French
for a BEF
you only need mk 2 helmet, the flat helmet
Enfield n3 MKI
no individual tool, the flat shovel is rare in 1940 and that of ww1 will not be reintroduced until after the campaign of France.
battledress pat 37 without visible button
metallic title in shoulder
and especially the gas mask with the case that is worn on the chest
I do everything except that you need Blender skill: the gaz mask pouch

During map-making, I had to think about the wonderful possibilities to create new content for CMRT. So, I collected some theatres, which would be worth
to be included in campaigns or single missions. May be, there are campaigns/missions including theese yet, but the mayority of contents (my personal feeling) is about 
the Berlin Battle...
Here is my list - any extension is appreciated 👍

1. The battle of the Narwa-Bridgehead during the time frame June/July 1944

8. The battles of the Axis Operation "Sonnenwende" in Pommerania during February 1945
Central Region

Most realistic of all CM games. Tanks can have passengers in Battle for Normandy they can't. I ignore mostly the modern titles now, and don't enjoy them at all. 

I guess infantry can take some protection but the first reason is to protect the tank itself, like a screen on the sides and on the turret.
Just make some research.
 
 

agree very beautiful the trees and the shadows from the buildings on the last pic have something real !!

For anyone interested in the historical context, the three maps in Estonia are more or less situated right on the path of the Russian 67th and 1st guard armies operating under the 3rd Baltic front who launched their offensive from Pskov, south of the lake Peipus, towards the town of Pechory in august 44. Basically during the first half of 1944 the red army had tried in vain to attack on the Narva isthmus. With Bagration in full swing, the German retreat and the transfer of troops to army group centre, it became possible to bypass the Narva position.
The Russian offensive then progressed along a north west axis toward Tartu which eventually forced the now outflanked German Narva grouping to pull back. It is also worth noting that the Russians conducted an amphibious assault across the narrowest part of the lake Peipus with a flotilla of 40 small vessels.
On the German side, lots of troops were poorly equipped and trained Estonian militias. But naturally the German army counterattacked with units like the Nordland division from the III ss panzer corps and later army group north sent von Strachwitz and his kampfgruppe to strike the flank of the Russian 1st guard army. Strachwitz had however an unfortunate Kubelwagen accident who killed all passengers except him but left him with a fractured skull.

The best to ask for this will be our friend 
@laurent 22 specialist of the winter vehicles😉.
Perhaps is already on the way...

So i decided to try modding some of the Russian/Ukrainian firearms, not going to call it a mod just yet because i can't guarantee ill get far with this one (like most of my others ) but so far i like the results...
 
Here is the older AK-74, RPK-74, and AKS-74u which all share the same textures. Deep red Russian laminate stock and polymer mag but thats what i like...

 


 
 

 
Still have to do the folding stock and figure out how exactly the brake on the "Krink" is textured...

 
 
I also have done a new makarov but have yet to find it in the game  . Keep you guys posted on any more progress 

Hm... maybe my next CMAutoEditor profile should be CMFI? Hm... Belgium has ... adequate elevation data available ... University of Texas has some nice topographic maps... Dinant, anyone? Oh dear, I definitely should finish my other projects first... 🥴

La grande conclusion
We shall see what happens in Saint-Grammont-sur-Merde...
The Bufla destroys an R35. Maybe the last of them?

Major Tron watches Pelou enter the village...
<I will recommend him and his crew for medals!>
DRI-VERRRR!!! FORWARDDDDDDD!!!! Cross the bridge and go to the left of those houses!

Pelou's tank moves slowly down the main street. The Bufla is only around the corner.

Major Tron comes around to draw fire for Pelou. Pelou is ready to turn sharply as soon as he clears the small bicycle shop.

Major Tron pumps his fist! Now Pelou! Now!!!!!

Pelou's gunner fires and hits.

SAINT-GRAMMONT is ours!!!

FIN

exiting moment... @Falaise I hope he took the dust of his helmet and his curving pipe, to join the party, I want to see a France Allemagne 2-0 "Allez les Poilus" 

Exaclty Wim everybodys come back to CM forum this is your cup of tea, but more your newspaper daily that you cannot avoid to read ,if you cannot read more, we can also spend a glasses and send to you in the Big North, (just joking) have a good days guy, more peoples have already saying is better to leave now but look Paper Tiger come back after a while, and is very present now, on the forum like before, and with all yours splendide scen maps and mods you are already here a Star you will come back later with some news ideas.
(veel geluk in u leven en denk aan ons op het forum, we zullen aan u denken als we gebruik u maken in the CMMODs,) en francais c est la meme chose 😊 🍻 🍀!!

A near miss for Sergeant Clouseau!


We have lost 5 of the R35's as we clear this first defensive line of infantry. The 37mm gun is practically state of the art for its time.




The SS grenadiers pay dearly for the 5 tanks.

End of Part 1

You will be back, Wim. 😀And perhaps then you can try to make scenarios/campaigns for the Eastern front, instead of 'eternal'normandy. So many interesting subjects there still, like Courland, Eastern Prussia and other more balanced battlefields. CMRT is too heavy concentrated on Berlin, I  think, which was not much more than a massacre, which doesn't fascinate me in the least.
Talented people like you simply can't be missed at this forum. Pull yourself together, man! 🙂

thanks rob, this is a variante of the usual one !

At this time, a new, corrected and more comprehensive pdf has been posted with the campaign file.

It looks very beautiful!
