Clubfoot Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Having never been too enthralled with my last beach terrain set, I took another poke at it. The newer set is a full, beach-to-grass, open ground set, new rough, walls, hedge and contains the old-standard surf, hedgehogs and razorwire OP fence. Below is a look at Gold beach, King sector as seen by the 6th Green Howards on that fateful day. It's a work in progess, but the entire sector is recreated to size using some swanky topo maps. Mont Fleury is visible in the background. Coming soon. [ 01-11-2002: Message edited by: Clubfoot ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopenfaust2 Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Clubfoot is the master of these mods. Good work and I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoot Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 Thanks fellas. Brian, The surf would be that white/ foamy stuff. It's made of marsh tiles to inhibit movement whilst providing a very small amount of soft cover vs. LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 just one bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_2 Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 All we need now are landing craft,( sorry just dreaming !!) Oh, and a another "BUMP"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Oh, yeah, sweet! My only gripe is that distinct pattern in the seawater tiles. I know, WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing fast MODs on request to BUMP fellow MODers Sneak Previews is what I call service... Clubfoot, that one is very nice indeed. I can't see Hanks & Sizemore though. Please fix or do somefink!!

Rupert_2 Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 That was quick, very nice PawBroon!! So if ask for Sherman DD that will appear too? Or while I'm at it a nice new Hi-Res Nashorn/Hummel...Err I think I'm asking too much now ( Am I ??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoot Posted January 9, 2002 Author Share Posted January 9, 2002 Ah, Rupert, duplex drive sherm's would indeed be a thing of sticky sweetness. It would be hard to make one look right, though, with the extra hardware and all. I'd like to see someone give it a shot, however (wink wink, nudge nudge Pawbroon) . Lovely little water-craft, by the way. Juju, I'll probably re-tool the water. Right now I'm using Magua's Normandy water tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ 01-08-2002: Message edited by: PawBroon ]<hr></blockquote> Isn't that just a modded Assault Boat? I'd like to see LCA's and LCM's and LCT's. The challenge of organising a real assault landing would be very nice, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 The Ram Kangaroo might make a good representation of landing craft, but you couldn't use them unless you used fords for the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is perhaps one of the most bizare aspects of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Ogadai: Isn't that just a modded Assault Boat?<hr></blockquote> It is. Only one you'll find in the game anyway. So no LCI, LCT etc. Best you can do is giving it a more Navy like look and a ramp for the troops and at the end of the day you'll still have some sort of rowing boat...

Rupert_2 Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Assault Boat or LCT it is still a nice looking representaion of one....And I think you might have to wait until the next version of CM2:BO comes out after all the other theatres of WW2 are done Ogadai to get a real looking LCA/LCT even if the guys think it is worth putting in then. Now PawBroon about that nice Sherman DD tank with a lowered flotation screen myself and Clubfoot mentioned..Hint,hint !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted January 9, 2002 Author Share Posted January 9, 2002 Well, the lack of Higgins' boats and other landing craft will be a moot point anyway. To actually simulate a beach landing under fire in CM with that little wood&canvas paddle-about is a torturous drag. So, not unlike my last beach scenario, the relevant Allied units will be present on-shore at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Clubfoot is right. The actual landings under fire would just shot how destructive MG fire is. The game can easily start as troops hit the shore. Same goes for armor and amphib vehicles. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebbetufs Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 How do you see the photos? I can only see a graphic that says "Photki" and there is no way to click it or open it. What do I do? I want to go to the beach! Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted January 12, 2002 Author Share Posted January 12, 2002 Alright, Pawbroon hooked me up. The pic should now be visible. Fotki was being persnippety again. Thanks Pawbroon! [ 01-11-2002: Message edited by: Clubfoot ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoot Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 We'll see if Fotki won't do it's job again. Another look at GOLD beach/KING sector. I've just about wrapped this one up. All the graphics are complete, as is the scenario itself. The pic below shows Robin Hastings' 6th Green Howards battling up the beach as well as giving a small peek at a few of the German defensive positions.
