Battlefront Repository Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 The 49th (West Riding) Division became operational in Normandy on June 12th, 1944 and took part in most of the Normandy Campaign. The 49th Division saw action at Fontenay-le-Pesnel, Raurey, the fighting around Caen, Odon River, Vendes and Le Havre. Due to combat losses/manpower shortages, the 6th Duke of Wellington’s Regt was replaced in early July 1944 within the 147th Brigade by the 1st Leicestershire Regt; in August, the entire 70th Infantry Brigade was replaced within the 49th Division by the 56th Infantry Brigade(previously independent).Part IV includes:56th Infantry Brigade (from Aug 20th, 1944)2nd Bn, South Wales Borderers2nd Bn, Gloucestershire Regt2nd Bn, Essex RegtThis mod has several different elements that should allow the player to effectively model the units provided; this includes uniform items, vehicles and game interface. It includes elements from Fuser, Mord and Juju, as well as my own work. More... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 LOL. Yep, let me guess you uploaded it and then looked randomly in the folder and found a mistake? I think I have maybe gotten five mods made where I didn't have to fix something two seconds after I post it. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Actually, it was something pointed out to me by a community member....which may be a few little things now, all related to the 56th Bde. I will fix it up and re-upload later today. (Actually, I'm surprised it wasn't pointed out with the release of the 56th Independent Bde, which I will also be fixing). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 DC -I have another more serious error to point out------so far no mention of the 43rd Wessex Div--totally incomprehensible............... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 LOL...I have it completed but this error set me back a tiny bit. BTW, I have the DCLI in their standard white-on-red 'Cornwall' (as they apparently used this until about Sept '44, when they switched to 'DCLI'). I also did an alternate version (not implemented but included) of gold-on-black 'DCLI', though I'm not sure if they used that one when they switched or just stuck with the white-on-red. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcelt Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 DC Re your query my understanding was that the DCLI was a white on red patch. But i know that the gold and black are a very traditional Cornish combination. I have written to a cousin of mine who served just post war with the DCLI and who still lives in Cornwall to see if he can shed any light on this really crucial issue......watch this space............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks....It's not a big issue as I didn't implement the DCLI titles (they are still included though)....the Cornwall titles are the only relevant ones for the Normandy battles. I do appreciate the efforts to get an answer though, as it will get implemented in further modules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Version 1.2 of the 49th Division (pt IV) is uploaded here and at CMMODS. And I got all of the 15th and 43rd Divisions uploaded today too, both here and at CMMODS (including the DCLI ). I'm down to only 3 divisions left, which I may get out this by Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Greetings DC---just set up first heroic DCLI engagement---really impressed by the whole mod and in particular by the brilliant portrayal of the mythical Wessex Wyvern ---not an easy creature to depict I imagine--- and also impressed by the clarity of all the insignia included. Many thanks---and worth the rediculously long wait for this elite division and battalion-----Cheers---will let you know if I glean anything further re the gold-on-black version 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm not completely done with the 43rd....I still have something special in the works that is just waiting for Aris to come back from his sabbatical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Oh DC you are a terrible tease----you dont moonlight as well as a male stripper do you? --and Im trying very hard not to actually think about it............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, don't get too knotted up yet....I suspect that Spain has to win the Euro Cup Final before we see Aris. That means that it will probably be two plus weeks anyway before I get to make good on my latest 'tease'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
