Kuli Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hello everyone, I am looking for collaborators for this campaign project. The campaign is about the actions of the 7th Armoured from their engagements at Tilly-sur-Suelles to Villers-Bocage and culminates at the "Battle of the Brigade Box". I accept any kind of help, but what is most needed are map makers, as well as people well versed in the actions of the desert rats during Operation Perch. Some texture work is also needed for correct markings on vehicles. Each scenario will have its own modtag and there will be an attached modpack for the campaign for all the historical accuracy freaks such as myself. The most time consuming part of this project is making the maps, and researching the battles. i have good refrence photos but some helping hands would be good to have for building the maps. There is no ETA for the campaign, but hopefully it gets done within a month or two. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 A month or two for a decent scenario, let alone a campaign, is ambitious mate ... I wish you luck though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please provide more information about your project: design status, foreseen number of scenarios, etc. Is it your first campaign? I haven't found any scenario of yours at the repository (at least, no WW2 scenario signed under the "Kuli" nickname!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found any scenario of yours at the repository (at least, no WW2 scenario signed under the "Kuli" nickname!). Ive made a number of scenarios for CMBS and CMBN but none have been posted here or on the repository. I think i posted a CMBS scenario here though. Anyhow; Current Design status: Currently working on the first map, completely had to restart the map when it was basically finished because better quality aerial photos came that showed previously unseen areas of the map. I also have collected appropriate german uniforms for the scenarios, as well as a number of allied ones. I intend to have around 4-6 Scenarios in the following order - Tilly-sur-Seulles, the 7th fought elements of the HJ division here before moving on to villers bocage. - Villers-Bocage; I do not plan on portraying the actions of Wittman, The battle will likely be 2 different scenarios, one focusing on the battle for Point 213 and one on the battle inside the town itself. -Battles near Tracy Bocage - Battle for the Brigade box, probably 2 scenarios aswell as there were numerous german assaults on the positions of the desert rats. This is likely the final mission of the campaign as after this battle the 7th was withdrawn from fighting. - Maybe a bonus mission or two taking place during operation Goodwood.

kohlenklau Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Go boy go! Who needs a girlfriend the next few months? You got CM and plenty of old smelly 50-something forumites to hang with. ~~~~~~~~~ I don't say that I ever make "Arisian" quality vehicle mods but slapping some unit decals on various vehicles is no big deal for me. PM me what specific CMBN vehicles and what you want on them and what modtag to use. MY ADVICE: Fight hard that the project doesn't inflate and burst from aspirations of grandiosity.

Yeah, its certainly a challenge, I might end up just making them independent scenarios just to ease my job a bit. I might take up your offer for the skins, first gotta do the scenarios, then the flavour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has to ferry me to and fro the horse's piddle for my cancer treatment. But, in the meantime this does sound like a very interesting campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WimO Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) @Kuli For clean vehicles with 7th arm div markings look here: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/combat-mission-battle-for-normandy/cmbn-other/british-7th-armoured-division-desert-rats-armour-and-vehicles-with-tactical-markings-and-mod-tags-added-over-stock-skins/ There are also already three or four scenarios about the action in and around Villers Bocage if you want to integrate them.

WimO Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The two "tournament" versions are duplicates of VB 1 and VB 3 in the list. Others with the same name differ from each other by virtue of being either SP or H2H 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
