@JM Stuff

I once started preparing a Polish 1939 mod based on CMFI. I have Polish camouflage for CV 33 as TKS.

Thanks Tom, I guess we will working all together,  after France 1940, minimum, I will give my contribution.

Tonight I will playtest the first scenario using the basic mod components!

Original scenario design by ASL scenario designer Ralph McDonald as published by MMP - Out of the Bunker. (Feldwebel Rudolf Brasche scenario series #1)

It is currently just H2H with no AI plans. I am not keen to make any AI plans anymore.

Homyly, France. June 11, 1940.

As the drive through France continued, the crossing of the Seine River was a major objective to accomplish. Four squads of the Pionier Detachment of the 93rd Motorized Infantry Regiment's II Battalion were ordered to take the bridge over the Seine River at Homyly. They were driven to and through the village under enemy fire, disembarking next to the woods leading up to the bridge. They quickly moved through the woods and came upon the bridge where they spied four French soldiers standing guard at the beginning of the span. In a bold maneuver the 1st, 2nd and 3rd squads rushed the guard detachment, hoping to overwhelm them and grab control of the bridge before it was blown up underneath them.

"Mort por la honour d' France" :( (I think that is the inscription on French war graves)

Sergeant Falaise fires a flare (simulated due to BFC not coding flares or starshells) to alert the reserve company of 72 soldiers (rifles only!) with a few officers. Another LMG. ONLY TWO DAMN SMG's sneak in. Gotta do what I gotta do.

The reserve company must get here on foot so it will be at least 5 minutes.

But they also have 2 Pan-Pans. Panhard scout cars. 20mm autocannon and a co-ax MG.

The beautiful flowers of bel France. @Lucky_Strike thank you!

Here are "le bad guys"...

MON PARDON! It is LT Falaise! He only has a pistol and his men look ready to do the marathon back to Paris?

MERDE!!! They have routed!

Here comes the judge! errr...I mean...the boche.

LESSON LEARNED.

My buddy, my CM PBEM opponent, my VASL opponent and tutor, he had my old CMRT Italian CSIR mod and it was causing a conflict for THIS mod.

I am only human. I guess I had a few non-modtagged stuff in that other mod. ooops.

OK, why are we in CMRT for this test scenario? You 3 or 4 people actually out there might ask that.

Well, for this scenario I needed a freaking anti-tank rifle so I had to use CMRT.

BFC has no sympathy for my woes.

ha ha 😃
Here I am sergeant on the Seine commanding an infantry very close to historical reality "mais pas si vite !" cult replica of an equally cult film on the bravery of the French army of 40.
Abandoned I go up in rank and here I am lieutenant on the Loire offering my youth to the supreme sacrifice like the Cadets of Saumur
"Mort pour la  France"

great mod bravo !

CMRT FRANCE 1940 at first had issues but I made a new solution this morning with the mds file renaming. Now the French soldiers DO HAVE GEAR.

THERE WILL BE BOTH A CMFI FRANCE 1940 AND A CMRT FRANCE 1940.

Both are needed due to BFC neglecting my personal needs. sniffle sniffle :D

BRASCHE ENCOUNTER PART 2

The reserve company on the move toward the bridge...

The German squads hold their ground having occupied the French foxholes...

Capitane Jambon eyes the battlefield to determine his course of action.

He orders the Pan-Pans forward!

Under the cover of the Panhard "Grammont", the soldiers bravely move forward.

"Grammont" covers the crawling infantry...

Gollat is excited as he reaches the detonateur - but he has no training and cannot properly connect the wires.

But the Germans are unaware of that fact and assume the charges will be fired off. They pull back leaving their dead and wounded.

BRASCHE ENCOUNTER PART 3

Capitane Jambon and Lt Merlot reach the detonateur and fire the charges (simulated only due to BFC)

which does not vaporize the bridge but makes it unable to take heavy vehicles.

The commander of "Grammont" bravely moves forward toward the German positions. He is out of ammo. With great relief he sees the German Panzerbusche 38 Anti-tank rifle abandoned in the grass.

History is changed and the Germans suffer a loss and some even surrender...

@Heinrich505 Thank you to my buddy Gary for the playtest...

We spotted a few things to fix and of course there are many more improvements that can be made to the mod. It just takes time and effort.

If you want to write a scenario using this mod, please PM me. I can share my advice on what units are "representable" within the scope of what I have modded. For example, like I explained earlier, I used CMRT as the base because I could get the Anti-tank rifle ATR for Brasche Encounter. If BFC would release a small module to sprinkle such items in the other titles, we'd have increased flexibility. oh well! But CMFI also serves as the base for the mod due to the numerous nations available. Thank you BFC.

ON MY PLATE...

1. try to create the MAS36 rifle

2. I asked a buddy to make the MAS 38 SMG

3. make the French canteen and finish all gear for French

4. tweak the German heer tunics, remove frozen meat button loop ribbons, etc.

5. Adrian helmet badge

6. Char B1 Bis camo

7. make some tiny teaser scenarios for folks to try against the AI

PM ME IF YOU WANT IN ON THE "FUN"...!

The circuits are jammed with the volume of incoming calls! YEAH, RIGHT!!! :D

I think only a few of my buddies are following this and that is bloody good enough for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, it took me 4 rum and cokes to get this damn helmet badge to even show up properly.

Alpha layers act up awful and the entire helmet just vanishes.

I will try again tomorrow to clean it up and blend it in.... and a poco mas grande
