NEW CMFI SCENARIO WITH MODS: ITALIAN PARTISANS


Recommended Posts

I finally got around to doing the CMFI Partisans Mod. Just a humble mod. I hope you like it. Just 1 tiny scenario so far but I have another one for play as axis simmering in the crock pot. And if anybody wants to make a scenario using this stuff, have at it! 

The modtagged mods [partizani] are in a folder in my goodybox in the CMFI section. The scenario is there as well. There is also a folder of "zzstuff without modtags" which if you desire you get a nice historic song of the partisans during your load up and can use a mod I made to select the blue force. Only have it in your z when you play the mod.

In my scenario designer notes I give credit to others where due...

The partisan mds file and bmp files were brought over from CMRT. Credit to BFC. I snuck it all through customs in the bottom of my fake thermos.

I did mod a a few hats to give some variety as I saw in a photo in an Osprey book. You got the fedora look, plus the artist type dudes in various berets and a dude in a captured field cap with insignia removed.

I made some new floating icons. Margherita Pizza Colors...

I made a new portrait for these guys.

I renamed a bunch of voice files and the names file.

I made the map. 208 x 208

AI plan I did. very simplistic.

Probably anybody could have done this.

I'm already messing around with them in the editor.

GO FOR IT! If you see anything I messed up, or better, WHEN you see something I messed up, I can give it a tweak. I only did Partisan floating icons for HQ, scout, sniper. I blanked out all the ranks while awaiting further info on if partisans had any kind of rank system. 

The best part of this is on its way. I am working to make Herman Goering division in Waffen SS smocks. I have seen some efforts toward this in CMODS but I didn't really love what I saw there. I will also add insignia to some HG vehicles.

Later on I will be trying to create some Italian axis anti-partisan units...

Briefing for Italian Partisans:

0735 04 April 1944

The spring weather brings color to the countryside of our beloved nation. There is a light wind from the north. The ground is damp. It is still cool as the sun is rising. You are Marsciello Ambrosio Mattersi, the leader of the partisan group "Magra ombra"...The squad sized force is strong in heart but weak in experience. Ammunition is also in short supply. In the predawn quiet you gather the men for one last talk to inspire them. 
"My comrades! Each of you, you better lose yourself in the mission, in the moment. You own it, you better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to show your valor. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime!" 


^

Your partisan group "Magra Ombra" will ambush a fascist truck convoy along the road between Ditoretto and Ottomile. Escape immediately after the ambush.

^

Your partisan group "Magra Ombra" has been hiding in the Bosco Luigi since last night. The squad has limited strength and ability. 

^

These truck convoys are usually accompanied by a small escort, but not always. The escort may be delayed or following behind the truck convoy. 

^

Stop the truck convoy. Destroy the trucks and eliminate the enemy soldiers. Be on the lookout for any escort force. Escape as soon as possible.

^

DESTROY German Forces: up to 200pts. Map: 208m x 208m

Really enjoying what I've found here.....Enough so that I have a tentative scenario on my desk. 

It would be great to have your custom icons for:

Forward Observer (Formation).....I often use these as the primary unit in very small unit stuff.  Would it also be possible to swap out his Jeep for a captured Kubelwagen?

Forward Observer Team

Breach Team

Light Mortar Team

Medium Mortar Team & Ammo Bearers

Great work Phil.

You know how you told me not to try the scenario 'cos it wasn't finished, just to look at it in the editor, kinda like no peeping ... had to take it for a spin, great fun, plenty of grenades getting tossed around, but poor old partizanis, at least under my command. Look forward to some more.

Interesting article ... roll neck jumpers might be tough to mod!

Thank you, Phil!

No problem Tony.

Oh, I recall a skin mod where the faces had a goatee (small beard and moustache). Can you hunt around for it if you can? I appreciate it. I did look through CMMODS but didn't stumble upon it. Maybe it was just somebody showing an idea that never got released. What kind of a guy does THAT! 🤔 (me, a dozen times)

Somewhere in the foothills of the Alban mountains a small group of Italian Partisans decide to interfere with the Wehrmacht's carefully planned withdrawal:

Initial experimentation on one of the beautiful CM:FI stock QB maps.....My hat is off to whoever made these, some of them are truly lovely! 

Conditions, the map and no doubt, the current forces, will all be tweaked & retweaked countless timese before this is truly a thing.  ;)

PS - Kudos to @Pete Wenman for the map I'm currently using.....Just found your signature in a field, not for the first time!  B)

In the purchase editor, set it to July 44 and buy French Infantry. I have made French voices into Italian, soldier names also.

THEN after you buy some teams, you can adjust appearance between 1FFD and Standard to have variety in headgear. Berets (black and red) and the Fedora (black, grey and some type of light brownish). The Battalion CO wears the kepi which has been modded to be the German M43 feldmutze with no insignia. I will add an Italian red-white-green rosette circle emblem to one of the berets. I also want to "blank" out some of the headgear files so guys show up without a hat. The poor new guy! Aint got no hat yet!

Oh, then after all this you can of course dial the date to earlier for a Husky scenario or Anzio.
