AndrewTF Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 I've finally stopped procrastinating and finished Super Action Pack 4: "The British & Friends". This hi-res uniform set includes textures for: British, Polish, and Canadian infantry, British and Polish airborne, and the commonwealth tank crew, as well as winter uniforms for the regular infantry. Also included are alternate textures to represent: plain, netted, and scrim-covered helmets, blancoed web gear (on ALL versions), and a fly-front battledress blouse for the Canadians. I just didn't have time to do individual unit markings. The current sleeves have a generic unit patch. You've seen a few screenshots before. Here are some new ones: Infantry w/blanco and helmet nets Airborne. Note cool details like toggle rope. I really like how the winter unis turned out. Tank crew. Also incuded--a special bonus uniform for the Bad Guys! Heer tan water camo smocks. I've also updated the German helmets to give them a more realistic look (like with the allied and Heer splinter helmet textures). Available from Tom and Manx as soon as I send them to them.

Maximus Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Well burn me boots! Now I gotta add yet another German uniform to the ruleset. Andrew, what am I gonna do with you??? Looks like I'm gonna have to do a Allied Uniform ruleset too to swap between these commonwealth uniforms. Oh well. I guess all for the better.

Do I understand this correctly that you have different uniforms for the UK, CA, and PO? If so, then that'll be cool as to I'll be able to have options to switch bewteen them and any different shoulder patches too. Do you have a list of your US divisional patches as to what they are. I know a few, but I don't know them all. I ask because I could code up a Ruleset for those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Great stuff Andrew - just installed your German/US uniforms yesterday. I was hoping this one was going to come out rather soon too. Thanks for the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcm1947 Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Andrew excellent work as usual. I am however having a problem downloading your US uniforms Action Pak Vol2. I keep getting the following message. Could not open the .zip file( C:\program files\CMBO\mods\action_pack 2 zip) Any idea what this is all about? Is it my machine or something wrong with the site Combat Mission or something in the mod? Any help would be appreciated - actually by anyone.

Maximus Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 lcm1947, Not to sound too obvious, but you are trying to use Winzip aren't you? EDIT: Whoops, I should also say that if the download was cut short, or incomplete, then Winzip cannot open the zip file. Try downloading it again and see if that works.

There are 2 versions of the battledress blouse: austerity version and fly-front, the latter of which is, I think, more appropriate for the Canadians. The Poles are on their own. I just did not have time to go and do a bunch of individual sleeve flashes this time around. If some enterprising soul may wants make a set of commonwealth sleeves with unit insignia--I think Michael Dorosh has loads of these available on his excellent "Canuck" and "Tommy" Web sites--then go ahead! All I ask is a copy be sent to me. I'll have to go research my US divisional patches. I was kind of hoping that Tom would make a cool complete divisional patch set for my uniforms like he did for DD's and the stock set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes - Canadian battledress was unchanged during the war; we never adopted the austerity pattern, keeping the fly front right through. My next book will cover this in detail....

Guest Tom Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Gentlemen , the US divisional patches for Andrew´s US uniforms are 80% done and will be published during the next days. " Unfortunately " I have a new job since July and less time for CM. BTW: I got the Commonwealth uniform set a few hours ago ( great job Andrew ! )and will publish it in the next hours.

lcm1947 Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 No Maximus I use Go!Zilla. Do you suppose that's my problem? What download program would you suggest if Go!Zilla is my problem. Actually I have been unable to download any of Andrews uniform mods so just kind of gave up trying but thought I'd try his new one here but as you know it's not working either. I just got through downloading some other mods like the Allied carrriers and some older mods but for some reason just can't D/L anything of Andrews. :confused: Any advise or help would as always be appreciated.

Are you trying to get it off of Tom's or Manx's site? I actually find that IE's native download manager does a pretty good job, but then I'm on a Mac so I may not be the best one to help you out here..
