New series started.  H2H vs Hedgehog from the FGM on the 'Road to Wiltz.'
'Grosshau' hasn't been abandoned.  Ought to be finishing that up soon.
 
 
(Edit:  Video aspect ratio is partly screwed up.....action is fine, but some of the maps are cut off)  🙄

Another enjoyable episode.

whatever happens, the kepi is no longer worn in combat since 1915 and the appearance of the first French helmet
In Italy, apart from the ceremonies where the colors of the tradition must be visible, the kepi with kepi covers is the rule and is worn only at the back of the front line.
In italy the french does not wear a distinctive insignia in combat although there is a specific badge for the CEF (French Expeditionary Corps)

there:US helmet worn with the imperial flag from 1804 to 1812 that can also be seen on vehicles

Hats off to the BFC crew; another great new title.  My favorite added feature: a tie between the French and the Indian Army.  (And I love that both have different uniform options to toggle between).
Thank you for bringing us such a content-rich multi-module Italian campaign!

The kepi of the game is a foreign legion kepi !!
The most common for the game is that of tirailleur whether he is Algerian RTA or Moroccan RTM with the blue sky "bandeau" I did neither the crescent nor the star Sherifian to be versatile !!!
The helmets of the North African troops were partly color mustard.
the factory helmet had a khaki color at the beginning of the war however the liberation army repainted its helmets in dark green and a part of the manufacturing had an aluminum crest and the paints peeled
finally I put leather jugulars on the tanker helmet

Propaganda is aimed on the national scope.  What good does it do to pump up the reputation of a single 1st Lt stuck in a strategic backwater (Colmar Pocket)?  In order to believe that, you would have to accept that the higher ups engaged in a conspiracy to force literally 100-150 men to lie under oath.  Then these same people would all go to their graves keeping it a secret.  To the general public, Murphy is known as a B movie actor who starred in Westerns in the 1950's.  The people who testified would certainly recognize him.....would you keep that secret?  Imagine the tabloid $$$ available.

The better part of B for Baker/15th Infantry watched Murphy really do that.  No conspiracy needed.  Underestimate the short and scrawny kids at your own peril.

Now I start to read the manual... DOH!! Oh well...  😂
I made this for myself and maybe some of you will find it useful as well.
Also attached two PDF versions for Letter and A4.
I'll update it if I got something wrong
Fixed Zealand.

Hummm some can be found here: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/?s=Kieme
A similar search on the old site yields the same list. I thought he had more than that.

I have twenty nine of them. Will post them tomorrow after I eat my turkey dinner.😄

I count 42 Kieme vehicles in my Z plus another 9 or so that I do not use as they conflict.  But all have been uploaded to Bootie for his new CMMODS.  It's just a question of when Bootie has time to make em all available.

Part 2 now up.

Started some CM vids for AARs/DARs....
'Fortress Grosshau' is the subject of the first series.  Excuse my weak graphics card and awkward narrative delivery. I think I'm going to start writing scripts before recording narration. Score is original music (I'm a professional musician among other things.)  Try to watch in full screen for the full cinematic effect.
All inspiration comes from watching vids by Usually Hapless, Josey Wales, Ithikial and Double.  You guys set the bar!
 

Highly recommend you visit some of the old WITPAE sites where there is a TON of useful/vital info and analysis that goes way beyond the manual as well as very useful check lists and advice.  You can easily find em via Google IIRC.

Good stuff again mate.

New Vid up!

Am a huge fan of WITPAE and it's my "go to" game when I get burned out playing CM (been playing since 1999 so...).  But, it's easy to burn out on WITPAE as it is very intellectually demanding with so many features/things one has to remember - most of which are not in the manual.  One needs to study some of the WITPAE forums - some of which haven't had posts in years, but are still an invaluable source of hints and info.

I think some people actually have, they are quite a dedicated bunch. The game is also insanely detailed down to every ship of any kind that ever floated in the Pacific from every nation and every pilot by name for the US.

Another enjoyable episode.

New Vid up!

New Vid up!

Well, once the rains stop and the ground freezes, things will start rolling again and we'll achieve final victory.

In War in the Pacific Admiral's edition you can play the game day by actual day so it will take you at least 4 years to complete a campaign.
