MikeyD Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 You asked for it a loooong time ago... ...and I finally got around to doing it: CMAK Italian theater winter sky pack (clear/dawn/dusk/overcast). At our favorite site of course: www.cmmods.com Some of you begged for winter skies that looked more like the Ardennes. These winter skies packs do away with CMAK's big Alpine mountains and replaces them with low rolling wooded hills (generated using the CMBB map editor). The clear sky has an appropriately low winter sun. Looks rather like where i came from, northern Maine (U.S.A., not France). The cmmods.com screenshots: Winter Skies clear/cloudy Winter Skies dawn/dusk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simovitch Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I was just thinking about this last night. How cool it would be if I had an Ardennes winter horizon.... Thanks for the work, it looks like the real deal :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 On this Ardennes note, can I please have a list of MODder's willing to recommend their work for some upcoming Ardennes scenarios? You know, trees, tanks, tiles and especially buildings. Feel free to post URL's to your work so I can include them directly in my briefing!

simovitch Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I repackaged some Ardennes Terrain mods that were created by Tom Klimisch (for CMBO)and posted them at CMMODS. Word has it that Tom is working hard to bring an updated Ardennes Mod together for CMAK. heres the link to my stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 richie, i would like to know historically what was used by both sides for camo. ie, white wash, white smocks, or ambush with whatever snow fell. or did it vary day to day? wicky's allies are my choice for winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Damn damn damn! i almost totally forgot about it. Perfect Ardennes vehicle. My late factory paint job Hetzer. This little bugger shows up in a LOT of destroyed Ardennes armor shots. Yes, that color even in snow. MikeyD's late war factory Hetzer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simovitch Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 here's a closeup of the Panther from the 116th Pz div. now residing in Houffalize, Belgium. Got a great picture of me having a smoke next to this one... ahhhhh yes, my trip to the Ardennes. Saw one of Peiper's King Tiger's at La Gleize too, and the Hetzer at Bastogne, Sherman at Clervaux... heres the link to the site showing tanks from various sites throughout the Ardennes . (thanks to lindan & warphead) Looks alot like stock CMBO. I'm pretty sure the paint scheme here is authentic Heer, but I believe the SS mainly used the mottled "ambush" colors during the ardennes. Whitewash was hit or miss if the crew had the time and materials to do it.

Jack Carr Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I downloaded and applied these. Quite good. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hi guys, Sorry for the extreme delay! My wife and I got our new puppy a week or so ago so I've been building fences like my life depended upon it... My scenarios due out soonish are around the Stoumont and Cheneux areas so any vehicles are generally either from Kampfgruppe Peiper or from the 823rd US TD battalion or the 743rd US tank battalion. Some of the US tanks in the 743rd were ad hoc, so specific patterns/trends probably don't apply. I'd really like to see some good building MODs. Particularly so for the St Edouard Sanitorium and Belgium houses. If anyone has a colour photo of the Sanitorium I'd be more than happy to MOD it myself. There's nothing like having something to fight for! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
