Jock Tamson Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Created them for my own amusement, using Mord's Civil War mod as a base. Basically added about 14 new variants to his mod. I've only done the Reserves, real life prevents me doing anything more but it would be trivial to rename the files to incorporate these skins with his Mixed Combatants mod etc. If there is interest - and with Mord's permission - I'll release this. Terrain provided by Kieme's excellent CMSF HD mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I am interested. They look very cool. They remind me of the current news reporting. The sooner you release them the sooner my Stryker Company can smoke 'em. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hope you release em. I do also think that scenarios featuring IS/uncon forces vs conventional Iraq/Syrian army, or vs Peshmerga/PKK uncon would be the most interesting. The uncon forces have learned to NOT fight vs western forces using the western game plan advantages. By forcing close combat in urban situations and or hit and run tactics, uncon/IS forces have leveled the playing field and neutralized much of the west's firepower and tech advantages. Making scenarios in which the west can simply stand off and bombard with long range HE is going to be the rare exception to the more common uncon tactics. Now, we're down to close range knife fights which will likely be determined by who is more willing to die for their cause, and get close enuff to stick a knife thru their oppos' eyes, (or decapitate them). A professional "mercenary" army in which troops are trained to see their role as "just a job" and a step towards university credits is at a disadvantage when dealing with fanatics willing to die and take you with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure entirely what you mean by that, but US forces acquitted themselves very well under even the worst conditions of these close quarter fights. What usually prevailed wasn't a willingness to die, but well drilled tactical fighting and discipline. Conventional Iraqis and Syrian army forces do not have that discipline and essentially don't fight any better than the uncons. ISIS actually does use the same stand off weaponry when the situation leaves them with the advantage with those types of weapons. Could you explain what you mean by "mercenary" army? I don't understand the use of the term in this context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yeah, knock yourself out. Mostly what I did was hex edit for the Civil War mod, the textures were MikeyD (clothes) and M1A1's (faces) work. I think I may have switched some pants and such. Any way release away, looks great. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Jock - Those reserves look good. When RL allows please release them. I got a Stryker Company chomping at the bit. After the release I will post screen shots so they can be seen in battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Tamson Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) This mod has now been uploaded to the Repository so will hopefully appear in the next couple of days Edited January 20, 2015 by Jock Tamson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Tamson Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 How long does it take a file to get into the Repository normally? - I submitted this about 4 days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 How long does it take a file to get into the Repository normally? - I submitted this about 4 days ago. I think normally is about 24 hours. Also, since the forum upgrade, I don't think uploads to the Repository are automatically linked to an announcement on the forum. It may be possible that the mod is in the Repository but not linked to the scenario/mod thread of the forum. I tried to find it at the Repository but could not. What title did you submit it under? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
