What is happening across the channel? Any interest from forumites in Great Britain to do a [bef1940] mod? I will help and advise and put in time.

"Santa Damian" has placed another bundle of early Christmas joy under the forum tree! @Damian45

THANK YOU (AGAIN) DAMIAN!!!

Waffen-SS in smocks

Waffen-SS in regular uniforms

Screenshots will be edited in as I sip my coffee...

EDIT: I will probably miss the 1 hour window to post them here in this post. I have to first rename them and add modtags. But I will display them this morning.

Very nice mod continuation Phill, I like really much the new skins of the German 1940, thanks @Damian45, they have the touch that I was wishing !

Looking down the line at releasing this to CMMODSIV in maybe May for the anniversary of the invasion into France?

I wanted to recommend to folks if they get into this...they might want to paste in a new install of CMFI as CMFI2. You put a new shortcut on your desktop that goes to that folder instead. It has its OWN z folder and you don't have to keep moving around mods. I even have a new icon I am using. The typical circle with French colors and "FRANCE 1940". Needs a little work.

EDIT: I now have my dedicated France 1940 install only for this mod.

I have another install fully dedicated to my other love, CMAK2 AFRIKA.

Each install is about 18GB THEN you plop in the mods and it goes to maybe 20GB+/-

You are welcome JM, I spent a lot of time on getting the uniforms/equipment and helmets as close as the real thing! I'm very proud of what I have made so far for all to enjoy. One more surprise coming in the near future. 🙂

i agree with JM
we will have to make a Napoleonic mod with the song of the onion
I would have imagined more than that

 

or in this

 

  this song although it is old 1938 and in the top of my 10 favorite song
for the story during the debacle in 1940 she sing in loop on the radio
when you understand the words you understand all the irony of the situation

Good morning fans and followers of the CMFI France 1940 Mod! All 10 of you! :D

We are nearly at 8000 views. Not that we get a damn bit of BFC support if we had a million views.

I am in my "work week" so time is difficult but I have much to tell. I am really behind with screenshots to show @Damian45 's wonderful mods. He is cranking it out. Damian is a bubbling chocolate fountain of mod deliciousness. 

THANK YOU DAMIAN!!!

His big surprise HAS arrived. He modded SS Polizei 1940 style uniforms. These guys had a real hybrid uniform, kind of a mix between heer and ss. They had their own decal badge for the helmets. I am gonna post screenshots here this morning of them. Standby.

I FEEL LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS MORNING! 

We have a ton of cool stuff to play with. Constant improvements are being made as well. Just yesterday I finally solved an issue with a crewmember on one of my Blender mods. he had been visible below the hull and it kicked my butt how to fix it. I tried many times in Blender adjusting the x,y,z coordinates. I usually give it a good try and then back away to think it over. Well, I was doing something and had a hunch and was able to solve the issue. In my "shell" vehicle I was trying to name him gunner but in the "host" he was named loader and that was all it took to fix that. I felt great all the rest of the day.

Last night @kevinkin sent me an awesome image of a France 1940 battle from wikipedia I think.

The Gembloux Gap.

I never had heard of it! It was a gorgeous and detailed battle map. You can see dozens of scenarios you coold grow from the battle map. I think I will make one! It will be semi-historic, just based on the units listed for each side. If their "arrow" hits a town, they were attacking. 3rd Panzer's, I Battalion, 3rd Schutzen-Regiment attacking from Walhain towards the main lines at Perbais. They seem to have hit a good spot between the 110th and 43rd French Regiments. It was successful and they proceeded down the N273 toward Cotril-Noirmont. Then they were hit by a French counter-attack by R35's. Then they seem to have retreated with that dashed red line. 3rd Panzer Divison had a symbol of the Brandenberg Gate as the unit was mostly from Berlin. The French seem to be the 1st Moroccan Division.

Very nice map with detailled troops I wish that we could using some layer directly on the CM games to represent troops and the movements...sigh !

Is perhaps a conincidence and you will not believe me but I saw the movie before yesterday !
