Don‘t worry, unless @Aragorn2002 picks it up.

dropzones for Normandie and Hollande
You mean „The Netherlands“, I suppose.
I had a few projects there and learned the hard way, that it‘s a delicate distinction.

ok Andreas i send by mail this evening
Thanks again, Stephane.
I received your mail, but did not try the Me109 flavour object yet. Have been occupied with some RL issues in the last days and had little time and patience for CM.
I‘ll post a screen shot, when I manage to get the object working in a scenario.

And not even expensive, though it sounds like some refurbishment is required.

I haven't replaced anything! I added using the @umlaut guide
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0g35it41bg7sskz/Adding+Extra+Flavor+Objects.doc/file
We can possibly tag them per month, then just go to the scenario editor and retag all the scenarios according to the month it happens
I am part of the players who like to replay scenarios several times and I sometimes change the mod to have a different atmosphere, so i change manually when i wanrt a new atmosphere!So, you have this Me109 as workable flavour object?

Absolutely amazing. How they get the long gun to stay straight??
Probably a long pipe. I would take PVC or similar to save weight.

Hmm, a part of me is thinking "do I want to play a game which is going to frustrate me?"... But the answer is probably "yes!"
Thanks
Tja, think about how rewarding it is, when you finally get a grasp of the game. Or when you start winning PBEM‘s against other people.

Thanks!
Yeah this will be my first CM game. I'm excited to get one, just waiting on a sale before I do
Hm, „sale“ is not a known concept at BFC. The only deal you get is when you buy a bundle. On the upside: As far as I recall, BFC never raised prices...
And „beginner level“ is not a known concept either, except for the shooting range in the tutorials perhaps. Some scenarios may be simpler than others, but in general all are the „real thing“.
You need a certain „frustration resilience“. But once you developed it, you are in for a long, rewarding gaming life.
Good luck!

What's the use of a pre-order here anyway? In other places it means you can get like a 10 percent bonus. OR you get an exclusive item in game.
Tradition?

I remember a mod with MG 42 sounds taken from various movies. I found it pretty good back then. But to make live easy, I am long since back to HQS.
If the other mod is of interest, let me know and I‘ll see if I still find it in my collection.

Lol, you’d think so, Falaise, but in fact my files are super organized. They have to be so I can find sh*t!
Trust a project manager: Too much organization hurts. Just try to rule the chaos....

I sent it to you by email @StieliAlpha
And it works!!!!! THAT easy... Now, that's what I call "drag and drop". Thanks again, I think another "thumbs up" is due!
I´ll post a pic tomorrow or so. At the moment the SdKfz 223 is nicley parked next to a SdKfz 250 in the same colours.
But now I have to hurry for dinner, else there probably is no gaming tomorrow.

I tried it the other day but couldn’t get it to show up. Since the 223 textures from RT and BN all have the same value (pixel size, bit size, etc.) simply dropping the camo-texture hull into the BN mod folder to override the default hull should have worked. It didn’t. There is no need to rename the textures or the skeletons because they all are named the same between the titles. I putted around trying a few things, but gave up. It is probably something simple that I can’t see, and it’s frustrating.
Just wild guessing: If you take the Pat-Aris mod and replace the content with the corresponding RT files?

As CMRT! more "Normandie"
Hi Falaise, that‘s indeed what I was looking for! Do you know, if we can extract that from RT and re-use it in BN?
Or is there already a weathered Aris version for RT? I have to check that tonight.

Added a version for CMFB, and will try to add the rest for the other games over the next week or two. Its really quick to make because I have all the templates set up...
Think it will look nice as a series across all the games:
All in the dropbox folder here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/thquh9eho9moww8/AACz2okbQ1BxvHbfyBEPB1KCa?dl=0
It deviates a little from your plan to have one screen for each game, but I can imagine that a map of Market Garden would look good.
Or perhaps even split screens with 4 maps for each game.
There are many options for your concept.

Yes I really am that old. Recently had to reload CMAK (still my favorite CM) and lost all my MODS! Any idea where I can find new ones? Tried the GreenasJades site but the files download as corrupt. Feeling totally lost with desert cam Axis armor wandering around Italy! Help!
This still seems to work: http://cmx1mods.greenasjade.net/
At least I could click through until a password was required for the download.

I found this Mark Felton video about a pretty obscure topic. For obvious reasons, of special interest to me. Quite interesting, I knew of only some of the events and especially, the extend of the US bombing was new to me. I knew of Schaffhausen, Basel and Zurich, but it sounds like those were only a small part of it.

Not so much a pre-reading, but pre-playing recommendation: Twilight Struggle.
The game gives a very good impression about the Cold War historical events and political „mechanics“. Add a little political pressure here, start a coup there, stir some unrest in the next place....
I started to play this one on-line very recently. More by chance, than by purpose (A friend and I were looking for a game, which we both own.)
A very nice game play, though quite confusing at start. In our last game, I managed to start the hot war (and end the game prematurely) by initiating a coup in Panama.
As with all card driven games, one should know the cards and what their effect is.

Interesting, that must have been because of Able Archer 83. The exercise was held in November 83 and raised the tensions quite much. Though I don‘t remember much of it. Those were my early University days and I had quite a hard time, trying to get up to learning speed.
Looking back, I never felt very threatened in the 70‘s and 80‘s. Even 15 years further back in primary school, we had no „duck and cover“ lessons.
What I do remember, is that the military presence in Germany was quite high in general. There was rarely a day without seeing Phantoms in the sky or some trucks and tanks on the roads. But then, I grew up in a garrison town. That explains the tanks on the roads and the Brits in the shopping streets.
And of course, I remember endless political discussions on a high level between us students and people in general. Normally well informed,much more involved, but also cooler and more pragmatic than what we hear and see nowadays.
