    Ah Loch Lomond.  There's a great road along the west side (from memory, maybe @George MC can confirm) which we used to take on motorcycle camping trips quite a few years ago.  Beautiful place, although the scenery was probably not top priority for us at the time.  Might go back on my current bike (a KTM 890 Duke R with excellent modern technology ❤️).
    Okay, I'm OT again...

    Battlefront has a pretty unique way of making many of its lets say "content packs".
    This has some unique properties, one of them is extreme variance in schedules and also very high tolerance for variances in schedule.

    We all know what this...and don't try to deny it.  This is Sweden's inevitable march to global furniture dominance.  NATO spending will be siphoned to a blooming Swedish military office furniture line and reinforce the home market.  As we fight for the Global South, it is all just a cover for selling more "Bekväm" chairs.  It all ends with Sweden ruling our bums - or at least where we put them - like emperors
    By 2125 the entire world will be living on Swedish smart furniture on three different planets.

    I had some fun with one of them (Kharkhov 1942 I think?) and I liked the editor well enough.
    But as I said I spend all my time playing CM.  There must be a reason, other than my stupidity perhaps 🤪.

    I think I do too, I've tried most of those other games but what do I spend nearly all of my game time playing?  CM.

    Yes, my memory is of crates of small bottles left outside the back door of the school.  You were lucky if you got one of the bottles that the birds hadn't already opened by pecking the foil caps.

    There must be at least a dozen who have previously said they would buy it 🤣.  Me being one.

    Without playing it (I will when I get a chance) I wouldn't know but yes, if there are PS (or even PF) teams about that might not end well.  Which is why I said cover them, but easier said than done.
    Having said all of that, if you have flails they're not there to clear the road after everyone has passed?

    Nope.  Engineer squad, then an infantry squad to cover them (that hopefully stops before the mines). Then the flails clear the mines. Then the rest of the column follow the flails. (tanks and mechanized infantry).
    Twice now my infantry were following too close behind and blundered into the mines.  I've gotta be more careful.

    I don't see the point of searching for mines. The Milk Snatcher closed them all. Ah, sorry, wrong kind of mines.

    Either of the above sound good, but neither are quick if you have a distance to travel.  Detecting mines was/is not a quick thing I suppose.
    Bring on the flails if you have them but keep them covered (and keep your fingers crossed)...

    Perhaps I'm an odd one out.  I do live in the countryside and do spend my time 'spotting' other people when I'm out.  No I'm not the phantom flasher, I have two crazy (well mostly barky, so not so bad) dogs and I like to be on top of the 'approaching dogs/people/horses/farm animals' intel.
    I also spot (or sound contact) tractors, but in my mind I'm imagining they're T34s 🤪.  Of course I always carry a Panzerfaust just in case.

    Thank you
    The mods work for all titles 🙏. However, it is sometimes necessary to rename BMP files. All the elements contained in my file for FI posted on the Bootie site are compatible with FB, without the need to rename the files apart from those for Sherman 3. 
    The 2 versions (Archer, Morris Bofor) that I posted are therefore also compatible with FI. The Crusader MK2 AA and the Challenger don't appear in winter in FI, that's why I didn't do them.
    My winter mods for German RT and FI vehicles are also compatible with FB (I will post updates to some of them soon).
    I use in FB all the winter mods already made, by other Umlaut, Aris and Kohlenklau, for FI, RT and FB. In these games almost all of my tanks in ground snow conditions have winter textures replacing the originals. I'm still missing about ten armored vehicles, Allied and German combined. 
    I just realized that I had already made a version of the Sherman M4A2-75, and M4A1-76 from the original BF.C last December. I'll put them in the final file for Bootie.
