Thanks to Zveroboy 1 for this scenario and to these mods which gives an incredible atmosphere.
You're right Borg and Cob, it's really a great experience
-
First of all, thank you 37 mm.
Woua, 800 scenarios !!
It is by reading this post I realized that the SF1 scenario was playable on SF2 ....
I bought SF2 more out of opportunity than out of interest. I hadn't followed what was being said when it was released and I missed this crucial element.
Battlefront should put this argument to the fore much more.
800 scenario plus those of the games ... that's how much 1500h of games 2 months full time of games
Those who say that it costs too much have never bought ps or xbox games for their children at 75 € per game and which is play in 3 hours! -
thank you so much

a beautiful canadian helmet with bicolor net
camouflage in a piece of fabric and bandage slipped under the net to break the shape
the chinstrap is one piece !!
-
the chinstraps are great
to try it is to adopt it
I hope that this problem of foliage on the helmet which founds the 2 textures will be solved!imagined the beautiful English or US ally helmets with an embossed burlap camo !!!
personally I tried Blender but now I am dumped !! -
great, thank you
your briefing to the scenario is really good and made me strongly want to play this scenario
the map is really good and atypical -
-
I like it !
thanks

Despite all these years and tests of all kinds, we still discover or confirm things, that says a lot about the depth and complexity of this game.
I love reading this kind of test
thank you Drifter Man -
me if I had been a tanker, after a passage in a training camp and the same experience with the tiger target I would have asked to be transferred to the infantry or navy !!!!!

Wow, it does drag on a little, 3 months go by and even the dust/smoke hasn't moved
.
Anyway, keep up the good work
those earlier shots look beautiful, if a little on the destructive side.
how dare you criticize or question the veracity of these photos taken at the risk of his life by a war correspondent who did not shave for 3 months.
are you insinuating a plot of the Chinese, the Martians or Macron?
Look at the clouds moved, that do not lie !!! -

As I looked at the "bocage test" map of Lucky Strike, I said to myself that it was a shame to leave this pretty little corner of France to the invader, I then injected a company of liberator with a few vehicles.
in the tall grass they move barely visible
other infiltrates among the hedges
applying the doctrine devellopé by Teddy Roosevelt for the 4th infantry division the progression is done under the devastating fire of an M16 AA
The infantry supports the tanks
It's not enough !!
nobody comes out alive
the liberation will cost a lot

The Allied HQ had to conform to the reality of the facts.
The inability to exploit a British breakthrough and the need to use Atlantic ports forced the placement of troops.
Evolution is only the adaptation to the German reaction while keeping the guideline
The Panzer Division was the only one with an offensive capability, which is why in fact the British found themselves forced to stick them, as they were deployed in the most suitable area to accommodate such an offensive.
The Allies did not expect to fight the decisive battle until they were truly able to do so.
It was Luttich who reshuffled the maps, from there the Allied strategists applied the basic principles of open-air adversary annihilation, this encirclement battle had not been planned before. This explains the hesitations of his resolution where once again the Anglo-Canadians are from my point of view unfairly accused of being responsible but it is another debate which has the gift of making me regularly angry and which I will not deal with on a forum15 minutes ago, Warts 'n' all said:Monty was a horrible man, but a great general.
exact, but what a dirty asshole

I have been director of the Montormel memorial for 20 years now
Museum which maintains the memory of the battles of the Falaise-Chambois pocket
Originally from Falaise, my mother suffered the fighting and 4 members of the family died during the events.
If I am explaining this to you, it is to make you understand that I have a certain legitimacy to put forward the following.
The pocket fights are a consequence of the initial placement of the various armies and the chain of events that culminated in this battle.
Contrary to what we naturally imagine, the initial goal of the landing was not to head for Paris and then Germany but rather to go due west in order to conquer the ports necessary for the logistics which will allow the conquest and destruction of Nazi Germany.
Cherbourg, then and above all Brest, are the strategic objectives targeted primarily by the Allied offensive.
This objective will influence the initial placement of the various allies.
This starts from an observation, in 1944, the British army was bloodless.
She has been involved since 1939 in France then the Balkans, in the Mediterranean, in North Africa, in the Far East then in Sicily and Italy.
In 1944, the British ran out of reserves, this is so true that as the fighting progressed in North West Europe, divisions were dissolved to be cannibalized to supplement other units.
At the end of August 1944 it was the 59th Staffordshire Infantry Division and then in December the prestigious 50th Northumbrian to be in turn dissolved.
It reminds me of the visit of a British veteran, the man who was less than 1m50 explains to me that he was there in 1944, to my reaction of astonishment, he then retraces his career to me: reformed in 1939 he is integrated to the Home Guard after the June 1940 disaster. In 1943 he was integrated into the army but not "over sea", then in 1944 classified as "over sea" he took part in the campaign in North West Europe, in a unit of the RASC.
Thus it was established from the outset that the British could not, even if it broke through the front, to exploit this breakthrough for lack of reserve. They will then have to ensure the thankless role of shield against the Panzer Division and thus leave the field free for the American to seize Cherbourg and then to charge on the Breton peninsula to seize Brest which is the gateway to the Atlantic. for continental Europe.
Joining the initial theme of this post it is interesting to note that the British were equipped earlier with the long guns carried on the Firefly and with the 17 pound usefull in caen plain
The Americans did not receive the first 76s until it emerged from the boccage. If the bocage had not been assessed in all its complexity, Allied strategists had understood that for the initial phase of the battle the Sherman 75 would be perfectly sufficient.
To finish I want to clarify that this distribution of the roles undoubtedly explains the recklessness of Monty in Holland because in the configuration of the defined role, the glory of the liberation belongs to the American alone. For his ego, but also, there can be no doubt, for the prestige of the United Kingdom he will attempt this coup on the Rhine.
I am still annoyed by the General Montybashing which discredits the British Army and its veterans for whom I have great affection and admiration.
Regularly receiving cadets from West Point, I am always surprised at the violence of the criticism and always strive to restore a minimum of objectivity.
Surprising for a Frenchman, isn't it?

Thanks. Just a warning I need to do some updates to that site. It's still useful but it's missing some newer scenarios and links to theblitz.club are still pointing to the .org. I have plans to work on it but just wanted to set expectations.
Yes it is an excellent site, it allows you to discover scenarios and campaigns
Among the options that I prefer is the fact that we can select by time or size among other things it is really practical.
The many details also allow you to find or refind a battle. I use it from time to time just to choose an idea for a scenario played!
I also like the simple and functional presentation.
Here is a good opportunity to thank you Lanl for your work.-
an SF2 would be welcome
we should recheck all the broken links and find the missing scenarios so that Bootie installs them on his site and you can repair the links.
I agree to help you for this if you want -

I mentioned you, because I also use your great "Biodiversity" mods
Your bocage pics look wonderful. I had considered making my own versions diagonal myself, but I chose not to because in my experience LOF and LOS are not working very well in diagonal setups. Have you tested this in your maps?
thank you UMLAUT,
I am remake a mod month by month
but Lucky gave so many bmp, the possibilities are so great that I take a little time to refine it.
yes exact with the diagonals and the relief, a good number of LOS and LOF are grayed out when one tries them that does not prevent the fighting but the whole of the squad does not benefit from line of sight it is necessary to divide it and seek the zones of visibility like on the in RL
it's a lot of micromanagement and therefore reserved for small battle with very detailed maps -
yes only the M4A3 (75) W
i like Busting the bocage, luckily Warts is here with his big Panzerfaust
