    Combat Mission Grand Tournament

    in Combat Mission - General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by laurent 22

    I don't know if it's normal that the last round, with the final blackboard of results, remains in the pbem progress folder for a few days, in fact it's not a round that I send, my opponent has already its results table. My last CW round with results has been on my file for a week, and currently my last BN round with results has been on my file for a day or 2.

    Cold War Grand Tournament signups are open

    Game over, tough battle, thank you @Andrew Kulin for this epic and thrilling battle (lawran in the tournament). We achieved approximately the same results on both sides. Towards the end, we took huge risks with big losses, of my 3 tanks launched to attack an objective during the last turn, only one survived, and if the game had lasted one more turn it would also have joined the tank cemetery.

    However, I will send you an injunction from the international tribunal for war crimes: article 23 of the regulations concerning the laws and customs of war on land (The Hague/ La Haye, July 29, 1899 -1907): "it is prohibited to use unduly military insignia and uniform of the enemy. The Hague court will certainly follow my recommendations and sentence you to 20 years of ban from playing CMCW.

    The year to come - 2024 (Part 1)

    in Combat Mission - General Discussion

    Last year Steve spoke on a radio show about the possibility of producing titles on the 2nd World War in the Pacific, or Korea and Vietnam: the main problem with these theaters of operation in Asia is the modeling of the terrain, with dense vegetation that would be a challenge to the game engine. They would need an application like speedtree to properly handle this aspect, an expensive application out of reach. It looks like CMx2 won't be able to do this.

    Winter Mod BA 64b problem snow wheels

    in CM Red Thunder Maps and Mods

    Posted · Edited by laurent 22

    I have a problem with my winter mod of the BA 64b (the BA 64 also exists in a "late" version with which I have no problem). I'm quickly making a winter mod based on Aris' work. The wheels of this vehicle appear and disappear depending on the year and geographic area specified in the scenario editor. The wheels are only present in Germany in 1945 😧 In 1944 the wheels are present in the 3 zones of the editor: Germany, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. For example, the wheels don't appear in the 1st and 2nd scenarios of the "To Berlin" campaign.

    I redid the winter bmp textures for around 40 RT armored vehicles, axes and allies, and only the wheels of the BA 64 remain a problem (I'll drop all that here tomorrow). I duplicated the bmp wheel file with all possible tags: berlin snow, gemany snow, snow, whitewash snow, whitewash. The original Aris wheels (I only use his mods with the mud conditions specified in the scenario) are present in all areas in 44 and 45.

    If someone has an idea...

    The first Red Thunder Tournament has been announced

    in Combat Mission Red Thunder

    Posted

    I went to the wrong forum, I was talking about the CW tournament. In any case it's the same in the 3 games, reinforcements arrive at half time (my perception as a losing player: I always have the impression that my opponent receives more reinforcements than me, with better optics, a better sales for its men, prettier uniforms etc...).

    The battles are brutal in all 3 tournaments, and really difficult. I registered for 3 tournaments and I'm lucky, since the 1st round I was able to finish all the battles on time, except for the 2nd round of CW, frustrating because the scenario was very good (nice map, variety of units), my opponent started to send me his turns in the last week.

    In previous tournaments SF2, CW, I had a lot of ghost players.

    The game is well advanced on RT, we obtain almost the same tactical result: the church resists and our 2 wings are blocked, no breakthrough.

    German snow armored vehicles

    in CM Fortress Italy Maps and Mods

    Posted · Edited by laurent 22

    I forgot to note in the list that my Brummbar late is also in the folder "Winter Textures for German Armour".

    I also forgot to put an image of the Wespe with the others, but ok, it is in the same folder.

     

    If RT and FB are also missing some vehicles with their winter textures, you can import them from FI or between them.

    If you notice in FI that vehicles with winter textures are missing, let me know here or by DM.

    SDKFZ 16 Flame snowy.

    The body and interior of the Sdkfz 251-16 are those of the SKfz 251-1D. So I imported Umlaut's excellent work. I only worked on the 2 flamethrowers and their pipes.

    I believe that the German vehicles in the snow file is finished because the rest of the vehicles already have their textures. Not all vehicles appear in FI in winter. I'm going to check BF and RT to see if there are any missing but I think not. Importing textures from other titles into FI is a bit boring because you have to look for them one by one in the data folders (for example all SPW, Grid, Hummel etc...). I'll do that soon to put them in a file at Bootie's.
