Ha, you're not the only one who plays with foliage.
yes nice
the white flower is missing I think of my mods
it reminds me of wild carrot very common in June, July and August especially on the roadside -
merci
23 hours ago, Erwin said:I found it initially hard to see the difference between the RL photo and your mod. Lovely work.
Still a WIP or available for d/l?
Yes, I'm going to put a series of landscape mods online
Between June, July and August the aspect of nature changes
I designed a mix of mods that I created, others picked up as is, finally other than I adapted
The idea is to stick as closely as possible to the colors and ambiance of the Normandy countryside
I have the advantage of living there and watching the changes for 50 years now (time flies)here the same place during three months:
June
grass and bright green tree presence of poppy ...
July
the green is less intense the tall grasses turn yellow
August
yellowed grass, trees turn brown, poppies are gone

here we have the proof that the allies in 1944 were very good
or that wittman was not as good as they say
I, who have had the opportunity to rub shoulders with veterans of both camps, always have more admiration for Allied tankers -

In 1944, there were many more kinds plants, insects, and wildlife in the countryside, and weeds and wildflowers growing all over the place. It's not the warming that has killed them off since then, but access to powertools and machines for clearing plants, as well as weedkiller herbicides. Without these, a patch of brambles is a LOT of work to remove.
Also, fields back then were smaller and there were many more hedgerows between fields. These were home for wildlife too.
yes, modern agriculture has greatly changed the appearance of crops in Normandy and elsewhere.
There were many more apple trees and the fields were smaller.
Some find that the fields are too small in combat mission Normandy,
I often think that they are too big, especially in the American sector.
I added poppies in my fields of wheat and linen because I remember that there were many until the early 80s and the old people often mentioned them in their memories.
For 4-5 years with the appearance of pesticide-free crops, they have reappearedhere close Saint Lambert sur Dive
in wheat field close Falaise
in linen field close Chambois
the old ones also often evoke cornflowers
I saw it for the first time 2 years ago in a field near Trun
Certain explains to me that the wheat field was red and blue but I never saw it -
in Normandy each German infantry division had 4,500 horses (theoretical), the number was 6,500 during Operation Barbarosssa
In truth, the more the war progresses and the less the Germans use the horses because they cannot succeed in replenishing
Certain units are obliged to requisition civil motor vehicles, although no fuel is available.
There are a multitude of regulatory trolleys
I invite you to visit the website of this association whose president is a friend: http://hvca.fr/
horses have no interest in games
on the other hand, the modeling of the cart by our professional modder to make flavor object would be a plus

a rare photo taken during the fight -
I have to assemble the models that my boys have as a gift, for me it's a punishment !!!!

That's really very cool.....Presumably those would be genuine samples of the three German camo colours seen across the board on AFVs etc. I'd love to see them against a plain white background.
I will try to do this tomorrow with daylight

the other side is in less good condition and the interior leather partly made the meal of a mouse
I have already found several some but this one is really interesting -
I just got this helmet from a farm near Mortrée, probably 116 PzD
it is so beautiful that i integrated it into the game

It's not a question of capability, but doctrine. The Italian platoons are two ten-man squads and an HQ. One squad has two LMGs and is the base of fire, and the other has the balance of grenades and is the manoeuvre element. The manuals talk about splitting these only in "exceptional" circumstances only, so this is the logic behind not allowing them to split.
Yes, that's why I thought it was impossible and that I hadn't tried it.
For more realism it may be necessary to avoid it,
however the fact that under this command the soldiers all go by the same door presents a certain interest in urban combat !!! -
the same crossroads
the tank crushes the anti-tank gun
the french tagged the tank "VV France"
-
the assault mouvement works with Italians.
I never use the assault movement preferring to split my squads
and the Italians could not divide I thought that this function did not work with them
also it was by chance that I discovered that it worked which is of course very practical especially as the function avoids that the squad does not pass through different doors -

Will give it another go though.....I
ah ha an other bitten by the virus
you have to play it in 4.00 or 3.12 if you still have it
I will not give you advice and let you, discover the different techniques
It is a demanding game that requires playing with all your weapons and characteristics.
He is also a great trainer, I have developed techniques which I apply to all the other scenarios -

There there is all France in photo between 1947 and 1960. https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/donnees/photographies-aeriennes-1950-1965
In some towns, looking closely, we can still see armored wrecks in the fields, boats on the beaches and the temporary aerodrome !!! -

I have been working a bit to redesign the misson, including changing the church and redoing all the elevations, turning down the difficulty a bit, etc. And also to make it a CW mission. But I haven't found the time to continue.
The place has changed a lot in the last few years.
Your map is closer to the Pierrefitte of 1944 than the one you can find on google map, it is remarkable.
the wall around the cemetery disappeared in the late 90s and early 2000s.
with the British it would be even more complicated !!
I think just by removing some of the tetraedes
I'm going to try
an interesting link for pre-war visuals -
just difficult, i think this is one of the mission combat scenarios i have the most played. The best I got is a minor victory !!!
I like it.
I know the place well, almost at the level of the field where the Americans are deployed, in the real world when I was a teenager, I found a German helmet !!!
it's the British who fought there -
There are many good scenarios
but precisely Bulletpoint which gives you advice just above makes at least 2 super
like the Contact Front with its magnificent and immersive map without shark teeth (zigzag route)
or the very boring (I can't get a satisfactory result) Pierrefitte en Cinglais with his multiple AI plan -

Les Forces du Commonwealth se lancent dans le module CMFB! Il n'y a pas grand-chose qui change avec les forces américaines, donc l'introduction de la CW dans le CMFB donne au côté allié une belle impulsion qui, autrement, ne serait pas là. Du côté allemand, il y a beaucoup de choses à ajouter.
Steve
hum hum it smells good
CW in CMFB.
like the Germans and the Americans they will climb on the tanks !!!
so no more obstacle for this characteristic to also implement in CMBN !!! -
I was tired last night and I did not realize that I wrote in French !!!
so here's :
I modified the skin but without modifying the MDR we see the problem
