I'm only waiting for Rome to Victory

Wham from the Adventure Games Studio forums? Welcome!

We ended up in 5th place, shame Cavani was injured, if he had played against France maybe the story would be another one. Congratulations to France. we might nationalize Griezmann any time now.

Great to find a CoC player in here, I don't personally play but I'm slowly getting into miniature wargaming myself.

BF has explained their rationale for not opening up the ToE for modifying. It was a pretty good explanation as I recall and either way clearly laid out why they won't do it regardless of whether it was a simple thing for them to permit or not.
Still it's a shame regardless of how clearly explained it is. One of the great things about Close Combat was the possibility for mods. Of course modding the Spanish Civil War or Stalingrad in a 3D game is way more work than in a 2D game and probably nobody would do it, but still, it would allow some interesting modifications.

Currently reading "Island of Fire" and the author mentions a few times how Pioneers had to blow paths in the tracks to permit the tanks to cross.
-
Sadly the game can't be modded in a serious and easy way, but if they would allow us to modify the ToE, all this issues would be resolved. Except the units using weapons not featured in the game, of course.
-
Be aware that many old mods for CMBN and probably other games, need to be modified because modules change the names of some files like uniforms.

Looking forward to this Module. I was hopping for some more meat for the Italians but looks like I will have to wait for that Italian Army Pack, if that's still on the horizon.
At least give the Italians Ammo trucks and Flamethrowers with this module!
-
Thanks! Not what I was looking for but that thread is really interesting too.
-
I would go with Early war. I find the situations and scenarios more interesting than the desert.
-
I have searched the forums to no avail. I'm looking for a thread that linked to an article talking about the terrain in Normandy. It said for example how usually farm houses are some distance away from where the cultivated fields are, etc.

Oh, and it's X-Mas to you.
If this is a real hint, I'm a happy camper.

A little tip I just realized today, Google Earth let's you choose (in most areas) between pictures taken in different dates. If the area is heavily forested try a picture taken in Autumn or Winter for a better look at the ground.
-
A bit discouraging to know that some things are still wip, was hoping for the module to be almost ready after all this time.

gebirgsjägers with cammo pants? Do we get gebirgsjäger hats? Can you show the new sikh units with their typical hat?

Free French Forces moving up through Italy
Could we have an update on this? Do we get Moroccan Goumiers with their amazing uniforms?
-
Great stuff!
-
Close Combat II (and all the rest) are pretty cheap on GOG.
-
Thanks, will look into those.
-
For CMBS they even had some streamings of early content, that was great. Now we don't even get a screenshot.
-
Wow! I haven't played any of those games.

Supply units was an oversight as I had simply moved the US, Commonwealth, and German ones over from CMBN. There are no Italian units in Normandy so that explains that! As for flamethrowers, it was a late decision to include them "for free" and we didn't think we had enough time to make the model and textures necessary for the Italian one. Turns out we did, but that's hindsight for you! I would like to get that added in as a "freebie" for Rome to Victory, also accessible to people with the Base Game.

Just bumping this up to remind Battlefront about those supply units and flamethrowes!

I want to see a couple of screenshots of the new sikh troops in action!
Looking for a better version of this picture
in Combat Mission Fortress Italy

The picture is an aerial view of Marina di Campo in the Golfo di Campo, where the French forces landed in 1944 during the invasion of the island of Elba.
I thought it might be an interesting scenario for Rome to Victory, or even a small campaign, but can't find a picture with better resolution.
Maybe some of you guys can find the original with the code and date that is there?
