CM, guitar and football, all the time. Oh, wait, chance of me going to heaven? Zero. I am guessing hell has world of tanks, autotune, and syncronized swimming. Me too! Except for the sports thing. I pay zero attention. Haha! However, I have a black Gibson SG, but my LOVE is my Fender American Professional Tele. Once a Tele takes hold of you there is nothing else. I mean, it's just perfect. Vox amp, Rat Distortion, Big Muff and an analog delay. Yesssss.... And I play, uhhh, a lot of CM. Trust me, all the maps are very atmospheric like this. @quakerparrot67 Most of the effects in this batch are just the heavy fog of the map itself and nothing else! I start way back and then zoom in to get that soft distance effect. Edited January 30, 2023 by Phantom Captain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it natural or are you messing with the lighting somehow? Regardless, these are really cool. wow, thanks! no messing with the light, they're all just straight out of the game. i was showing these to my wife ealier, and she mentioned the low, northern winter light. she kinda gets why i like the game so much, lol. cheers, rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I start way back and then zoom in to get that soft distance effect. dang, I should've known you were a Vox & tele guy, that explains a lot, in a good way . I am with ya on the tele. I don't have an actual tele but two of my guitars you wouldn't know weren't teles from the sound. AC15, mix of good & cheap pedals -- just picked up a nice keeley compression pedal. No wah wah in your rig? for shame, how does one get super funky w/o the wah? I picked up a vox bobcat s66 a year ago. Super cool vintage sound. Black SG. So you have gone through an Angus Young phase, I presume? Now I just need more dang time for CM. All day computer simulation work fries my brain so it's hard to do more simulation ,even for fun, most nights. Steve's new post promises lots of new stuff this year and I have only scratched the surface of all the new RT content from Satan's Most Exalted Minion, GeorgeMC. He's killin' me! I gotta play smarter when I play his battles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Typical his platoon gets wiped out and he surrenders. Sergeant Tymoshenko will be recommended for a medal. Found the platoon of this coward and let the attack. The caption is Fog of War. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Speaking of mods for CMFI, anyone got some good terrain/building mods. I thought I had just about every mod made, but I cannot now find anything for CMFI buildings and terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing this one against the AI. I DO have 4 PBEMs going currently (and always), one RT, one FB, one FI and one CW! Great Screenshots Captain The maps belong to the upcoming „Tiger Trail“ Campaign.

Thanks, let the IFV pop smoke give them a screen and let them move to contact. The Red Units usually don't put up much of a fight then. All your pictures are great too by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckdyke Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Beautiful, I still enjoy Vanilla but I can adjust the buttpacks with the squeeze tool during editing lol. Russians may like it to have their butts squeezed. Thought up another good caption Gorillas in the Mist but keep it to Fog of War.

Phantom Captain Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Bringing it back to our "reality" here... Apologies for another temporal vortex. The combat photographer focus struggle is real. I just had to share this one. From @Mr.X's awesome battles. This crack sniper carried the responsibility of defending the entire company on his shoulders alone. His stats speak volumes. His entire fight was a whole micro story in itself and he was all over the map helping out when needed. It was just epic. Iron Cross candidate for sure.

Mr.X Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 @Phantom Captain: In honor of this anonymus hero, who rescued his whole company during the testing, I will give him the name "Hartenstein" (which was his random name during this epic fight) in the original campaign Regards Mr.X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
