    Vacillator reacted to StieliAlpha in How many PBEMs do you have going at once?   
    Re the „challenge“: Yep, that’s “Panzer Corps 2 speak”, indeed. I am playing that a lot lately.
    I proposed CW, because you seem to be fairly new to it and I, too, have only very limited experience. I played perhaps 2 or 3 scenarios, but never got really hooked.
    Otherwise, I would be open for any WW2 title.
    Just drop me a line, when you are ready to start a game and we take it from there. But no need to rush.

    Thank you, Sir!
    Re the challenge: Most certainly, if you wish!
    Indeed, I was about to ask you since a long time now, but hardly managed to serve ongoing commitments in the last years.
    Any preferences? Dropbox or PBEM++? Otherwise, CW seems appropriate. Sounds like we both are kind of newbies in that one.
    I have been there in RL, but looking at my placement, my active service time would have lasted for an hour or so.

    Congratulations on that Andreas.  Wish I could say the same, but not yet...
    Perhaps you and I could share a game in the future?

    @rvseydlitz you'll find that the Western Allies can tank ride in CMFB.  In 'Real Life' I'm sure it happened in CMBN 'areas/dates' but maybe not so much.

    It certainly does.  And it will be worth the wait I can assure you.

    Time to get into mindset, I'm re-reading Joseph Balkoski's Utah Beach.

    People have modded sounds in various CM titles using donor files from other software. 
    Not sure about CW/BS and Squad, but I would imagine it's doable if not.

    As mentioned elsewhere, having never played a battle in any modern title, I accepted a challenge from our good friend @Ultradave to play 'Czechmate' with me as Soviets.  To encourage me (😂) he said this was pretty much what he trained for in RL.  Great way to start, right?
    It's a very nice map and I'm starting to enjoy it but having initially lost several vehicles to TOWs from invisible launchers I'm being a bit more cautious and beginning to get spots on some of his units.  Not knowing much about modern weapons is a concern, as is my lack of long range AT assets at the current stage of the game - I have (sorry had) 4 T62s (now 3) but nothing else with range. That will change when the main force arrives.  None if this will come as a surprise to Dave so I'm not giving away much intel.
    Overall, I think if I view the exercise as a lesson from the master I will hopefully not be too disappointed when I lose...

    Vacillator reacted to Ultradave in Some huge graphics mod ? With the most beautiful graphics?   
    No, I didn't. I used to use it in battles vs AI, but got away from it, because it takes away from the look of the battlefield. Makes it look too much like game board. So I haven't used it in.... gee, quite a while. I was just mentioning it existed and didn't see it in the all in one packs.

    Vacillator reacted to Beaker-I in Revised Floating Icon Pack - All WWII Titles   
    A while back, I had modified Juju's excellent floating icon pack to match my own preferences.  The colors I chose were based on the old Squad Leader board games; Axis icons are blue, USA and Russia are green, and British is khaki.  Since USA and Britain share some icons, I ended up making the common icons (command units, snipers, spotters, etc.) a color halfway between green and Khaki.  It's a little distracting but I really wanted the two nations to be unique. 
    I did end up adding a few icons for DLCs but if you notice any others that are missing, please let me know.  Icon sets for all four WWII games are included so only pick the one folder that matches your game and move it into the Data/Z folder.

    Vacillator reacted to Beaker-I in Vehicles Skins for Fortress Italy   
    Well, it's been about a month, and I think I've modified all of the vehicles in Fortress Italy that I intend to do.  My original thought was to fill in the gaps of vehicles that didn't have modded skins, but I ended up going well beyond that.  Below is the link for all of the axis vehicles I've worked on, including updated versions of the ones I've already posted.  Just to give fair warning, the file is almost 1 gb zipped.  I likely won't be doing any allied vehicles at this point since I've just adapted existing skins made by other contributors, but I may start working on axis vehicles for the other theaters since I saved all of the templates I created.

    I don't know if this map was ever released. But if you want to play Carentan then you just need to wait a bit. Carentan is part of the Utah Beach Battle Pack that's currently in the works.
