I've been spending some time working on skins for vehicles I didn't have mods for and thought I'd share them with anyone who still has some armor that looks like it just came from the factory.  Some vehicles have different camo versions based on their theater of war and will work with the other WWII Combat Mission titles since the models are all identical.  For those vehicles, I've labeled the subfolders based on the game the camo pattern was from.  
Just unzip and place the files in the .../Combat Mission Fortress Italy/data/Z folder.  Remember to only choose one folder if a zip file contains multiple camo options.

I haven't figured out yet how to submit these to the Few Good Men website but at some point, I'll try to get them posted there.  
 

While this may reflect a significant portion of future wars, on the surface it doesn’t sound fun.

We appreciate you Mr. X!

A few notes:
1. Many thanks to everyone who takes the trouble to send me kind emails with the first battle reports from the Eastern Front. I look forward to every AAR 👍
2. In order to avoid unnecessary confusion, I have sent the promised 20 mastermaps to @Bootie today, who promised to make the maps available for download in the near future. Thank you @Bootie 🙏
3. So far only one player has written to me that there were a few crashes in the scenarios (especially chapters I and II) that involve a lot of fortifications (trenches, barb wire etc.) --It seems as if this is a specific, individual problem for this  PC  🙏 .
Otherwise, I haven't heard of any technical problems (just like during the test phase). But if such problems arise, please feel free to get in touch.
4. If any player from my mail list is still missing the CampaignPack - please let me know, too. Actually I shouldn't have forgotten anyone, but you never know...😬
5. And if someone else would like to have the CampaignPack sent - contact me via PM or mail👍
I always try to respond within 1-2 days.
 
Regards
Mr.X

I've been taking a break from CM but, when I return to it, the CMFB AiO most needs updating... I want my Wintery Brits to have gloves, weathered vehicles & snow speckled uniforms.

Man this would actually be amazing! A plausible setting without media drama.

I actually played it! Took out 81 Germans with the long tom before I valiantly went down 😁

I just finished playing spearhead as allies, major victory achieved. The campaign was amazing. I lost 2 tanks during the final Cologne battle one was a pershing hit by a panzerfaust 60 killing 3 crew near end of map the other was an m4a3 taken out by a panther earlier on. The other pershing I had was also put out of action with a panther shell hit taking out it's barrel at a distance, no crew injuries and withdrawn to rear. The Panther was taken care of by an EasyEight watching down a street as it was trying to escape a jumbo. In this campaign you will find many building that form a square with a courtyard in the center, and with that the enemy can be in any window, waiting for you to dare and cross the courtyard. I'm glad to have played this before Remagen campaign.
I wanted to mention that It felt like the city environments ran noticeably smoother compared to other battles maybe the maps were smaller or did you guys improve things?
I also want to mention how beautiful the building are. A lot of time and effort there, Sometimes I just pause for a while and view the woodwork/stonework. It looks like a trolley ran through the city? Was/Is the Appelhof platz an underground subway?

Will do!

All quiet on the western front... 🙃

The new scenario made me notice that the US Army does not have the appropriate M43 uniform appearance option starting in April 45.
The only option is Standard (M41).

Seen in CMFI R2V at the same date :

The Sherman V texture still does not include the bow MG.
Look at the bottom right :
From the patch:

Correct:

I would redo the tracks for the final file for CMOD.

I want North Africa more than any other theater. Instant buy for me.

I have said these scenarios are remade from Post Scriptum,not the reality. In that game,Utah has tanks on German side,and also, the same as SS in Best. If you think this is an insult to your intelligence, you'd better delete them. I spent hundreds hours to make these maps to commemorate my beloved PS, not for your likes.

I'm telling you, Crap Tanks in the Desert would outsell Space Lobsters by an order of magnitude!

I've wanted CMx2 40-41 in the desert more than anything else.
They're just not going to put in the time and effort to create it since Steve says sales wouldn't justify it.
He certainly knows better than I do, but I'll keep hoping and dreaming of the day when I can once again enjoy the thrill of Crap Tanks™ in the desert blazing away at ludicrous distances and missing constantly.

Interesting on the comments about the jpiv's. I just played the second round of chaumont and was impressed by their spotting. 🙃

My hope is North Africa, 1942. They already have the desert assets, there are famous battles, popular generals and noteworthy divisions. It also plays to the engine's strength's (tank warfare.) This could be expanded with the American Op Torch Landings all the way to the fall of Tunis and thus Fortress Italy. It's a perfect fit!
I could also see a Finnish Continuation War Module for CMRT, but that would be A LOT of forest battles. Also, perhaps Battle for France 1940, but I've heard Steve say that early war wasn't viable.
But plz oh plz give us North Africa!

You're right! I was wondering why I couldnt change it

hello. I've started to learn how to mod the game series last year and its going okay, most of my stuff is not good and i don't post them most of the time so keep that in mind. any type of feedback is welcome.
any way
this is a unfinished mod of my mine that i am still working on the idea was to change uniforms, voices, faces etc so that means the mod is not finished yet, and since i felt this year is gonna be a tough one for me and i might not complete it. so i decided to post this in case anyone wanted.
its nothing big *it* *adds* :voices from Battlefield (have to work on those but its pretty decent) , and new skins (faces) and new names.

Laurent clutch as always

It is and always has been. There are things you can do to stack the odds in your favor, and it sounds like you did that to a degree. But in Combat Mission, and I would argue in real life, doing everything the right way doesn't guarantee success. Of course, the corollary to that is sometimes you can screw up and still win.

Winter textures of British vehicles complementing those made for FI, + a version 2 of the Archer and Morris bofor (my FI textures also work on FB). They are mostly based on the excellent work of Umlaut and Aris, the others are made from the BF.C originals. I'll put it all in a single file on Bootie's site when I've finished some American armored vehicles and made some improvements. (I'm having some difficulty with the Sherman 3, its winter textures are not loading into the game for the moment).
