kohlenklau CMFI North Afrika QB map-mod project


Recommended Posts

For anyone hankering for some 8th Army Action, here is a saved game file.

Kohlenklau Saved Game Afrika 001

Put in your saved game folder. Start game and click saved game

Download link is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/45un5t606j2dlay/Kohlenklau Saved Game Afrika 001.bts?dl=0

You have a Battalion of British infantry, a squadron of "Honeys", some scout cars and some off-map 25-pounders. Yes! You have 2 forward observers, 1 in a truck and 1 in a jeep.

The map is 3000m x 2500m. 1 hour long battle. Italians are dug in along a main supply route.

Saved at set up. You can see the objectives and decide your approach.

Have fun you bloody bastards!

didn’t YOU make that one, Phil?

It started before me with LongLeftFlank and Broadsword56 and then I got interested and also did some stuff with a great vehicle modder Popeye. EDIT: Correction, he was Pappagoat...He vanished

Great video to show the potential of CM:Afrika.   Presumably that shows late desert war in Tunisia since the US makes an appearance.   

Shame no 88mm ATG's on that map.  It looks  large enuff for 1Km+ combat.

IN THE PAST, I have had a group of like minded forumites WITH comparable complimentary or superior sets of skills to me and then we could gain momentum in the 1-2-3 punch combination of MODS-MAPS-SCENARIOS. 

Like a stool you need all 3.

1 person is grueling, 2 people gets better but 3 or 4 or 5 is where you can make stuff happen. But they need to be experienced and of a like mind for the Golden Rule of CM Creation: KEEP IT ACCOMPLISHABLE!

CONFESSION: I admit that I break that rule and suffer the consequences. Never sniff your own glue!

The rule I (knew I was) am breaking in the Crete Mod. And every other one I ever attempted, lol! But at least Crete is getting near the finish line. Your Afrika Mod is coming along nicely!

It will get there, I know you are on it. Your standards are very high for your own work.

Now me, I admit I often shove out stuff that I clearly see as improvable but just want to make the sandwich and put it on a plate for people to eat.

New scenario! 

"AFRIKA British Probe into Arab Village"

15 minutes, you have a platoon of British infantry augmented by a Vickers and a few Engineers.

Play only as British Allied vs Axis AI

Please get all the mods to properly play this. Dated in folders as I have updated them. I am trying my best to have an organized "non-frustrating system" of new scenarios and new mods. All at this dropbox link. It is easier for me versus using CMMODS and TSD to be honest. No offense to them though! Just me being lazy.

I will make a new thread over in the general section to share my mds file tricks and shenanigans.

I put a text file in with the mods I uploaded...

Maybe I am the only guy trying this stuff...? 

"GEAR ANALYSIS"

In the mds files you have to use gear with the same number of letters. Shell versus host mds.

In this case it was CMFI RTV French in US M41 and I renamed as the British shorts.

british_breadbag is in as american_bayonet
Now used Blender to add in both univ's.
Some soldiers are skipped for no breadbag.
Add canteen also later.

british_radio renamed as mdr for american_radio as british_shovel (only for radio operators)

american_ammo-smg replaces british_canteen with shovels location data. add both univs later.

You are accumulating a lot of individual AFRIKA mod folders in your dropbox Koh.  Are they all supposed to be downloaded to a single main AFRIKA mod folder in CMFI and used at the same time?  

No, not necessarily to a single folder. As one of you guys made a good suggestion, I now put the date on the folder to show you the new stuff you might not have got yet.

For the record...

1. If you have any questions/criticisms/issues/problems/interests about ANY of my mods, please PM me.

2. I would love to see folks make scenarios using any of the various mods I cobble together. Or roll forward and improve or expand the mods in any way you like.  If you are stumped about using them, just PM me. 

3. These are toys and toys are meant to be played with. :-)
