kohlenklau Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 It took a while but I got the greatcoats and gloves for the axis troops. Some white helmets too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 OK, for my testers, I uploaded the Tier 2 Axis Greatcoats folder. See our PM.I will continue hard work on Tier 3 which will be some allied winter camo vehicles as nice looking as I can make them in today's and tomorrow's allotted man-hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Tier 4 will be some allied winter uniforms. Trying to figure out how to do it.This quilted jacket may be doable in place of the M43 Uniform!

kohlenklau Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I am making some small new scenarios to allow some fun with the Winter Mod but also thought I will take my older CMRT scenarios and add "Winter Modded" at the end of the title, import the snow modtag and tweak the map for use with the mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkin Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Happy New Year Maj Bake is pretty much ready other than testing. Do you have a release date for the Winter Mod?Some items I can work on ... another battle, a few QB maps, new paint jobs (I did a wooden bridge and picket fence you can have), proof read stuff etc ...Just let me know Phil. I finished xmas shopping.Kevin Edited December 12, 2015 by kevinkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Hi KevinI also looked at winter modding a few QB maps import the modtag and slap some extra term on the end of the filename (winter?) and resave. I will probably release all that I have on 16 December 2015. After that anything modded can be separately uploaded.That was the strategy.About a dozen folks have had it shoved down their throats to be my testers and of those that took the time to play it, they said they think it is good. Other than that the lack of response or interest is quite bewildering.I also offered to help some forumites learn some basic modding and had 1 taker.Maybe it is my breath. The heart medicine? No? Oh...the garlic. Got it! Edited December 12, 2015 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkin Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well I hope you think of me a that one taker. Anyway just throw any and all projects you have my way as you move toward release.Do you have a guy to look at my New Year battle? If not I will test it further using the AI plans. I added a picture of Bake and your winter mod emblem to the strategic maparea. I also added a op map scanned from my new book. All this for a polished look and feel.KevinPS maybe I can help out mostly with the QB conversion and modify the AI plans to provide something new and hopefully surprising to the player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 That is very nice of you Kevin.I do not have any testers lined up. Perhaps you can go to that Proving Ground website at FGM?It allows you to upload the draft scenario to obtain feedback. Point the tester towards the mods by link or just as text instructions.I am working on Bake's Ausf G right now. Some from website but some from my imagination UNLESS you have a photo or art of his tank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hey Kevin,Get this!Today is the anniversary of Major Franz Bäke's death from injuries sustained in a car accident on 12 December 1978. He was age 80 at his death.He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. He was a dentist! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkin Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 After all that he passed in a freaking car crash. But he got to 80 and saw a modern and passive Germany. I guess he should have wrote the bookSteel Teeth: From Panzers to Periodontics Haven't any pictures in my books re: Bake's tank. BTW his unit at the time was 5th Company 11th Panzer Regiment if that helps.Will scope out a QB or two today and see how they set up and play re: your winter mod. I think we should focus on farmland with less rather than more buildings.I am pretty much 24/7 until your release so please use me Kevin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 What is the proposed date of the action? New Years Day of 1943 correct? On 1 June 1942, Bäke was promoted to commander of II./Abteilung of Panzer-Regiment 11.After the encirclement of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, 6.Panzer, was sent to Ukraine to join Generaloberst Erich von Manstein's Army Group Don, currently struggling to halt the advancing Soviet forces. The division arrived at the front in December 1942 and took part in the abortive attempt to relieve the 6th Army: Operation Wintergewitter. Bäke commanded II./Panzer-Regiment 11 during the withdrawal to Kharkov. On 11 January 1943, Bäke was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for his efforts during these battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkin Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yes. 00:00 Jan 1 1943. Desperate times indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Bake's tank will be a white washed Panzer IV Ausf G with red Roman "II01" as Battalion Fuhrer I think. The other tanks can be red 512, 513, etc. with other model white washed Panzer IV's. All with the red XX of 6th Panzer Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
