mikedora Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi I'm coming back to the CM series after a long lay-off, and I am wondering if there is a version of CMBO with the more advanced CMBB engine, that includes for example AFV orders to "move to hull-down"? Thanks Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Have you tried CMAK? Nominally it covers Crete, North Africa and Italy, but Italy 1944-45 is not hugely different from France-Germany '44-45. In fact, there are lots of NW Europe scenarios for CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaspina Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 There's CM ETO (European Theater of Operations). You should still be able to find it at http://www.cmmods.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedora Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks for the very prompt replies, I downloaded CM ETO and had it in operation last night, it seems just what I was looking for! Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I also use the CMETO mod. However, I decided to use the old CMAK green grass for the Summer battles, and the CMETO green/yellow grass for late Fall, Winter battles. This is accomplished by loading CMAK again, and in affect having two CMAK games on your computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Use the McMMM mod manger with either CMAK or separate CMETO initial of CMAK, and you can customize until your heart is content. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedora Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks again to all for the replies, but now that I've got CM Normandy and CM ETO up and running, I'm a wee bit puzzled. When I first got them going, I did a test drive of a scenario (whose name I've unfortunately forgotten, that doesn't help, sorry), and found that it included a very nice Sherman Firefly, complete with the prototypical barrel-end "semi-sky" camouflage designed to make it look like a normal 75mm gun. But - when I try to set up a battle of my own (Jul 44/Italy - couldn't find France or Normandy or NW Europe, is that right?), I can't find any Fireflies in the British OOB, nor are there any Archers, or AEC Mk III a/c's, or some other typical Brit 44 stuff. So, how do I get my own Fireflies etc? Help! Mike PS I also noticed that selecting an AEC Mk II a/c, gave me a Daimler a/c. What am I doing wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey Mike, You actually didn't do anything wrong, However, you will need to do one of the processes below in order to get those vehicles. This is because CMAK is intended for the Mediteranian theater, and therfore many vehicles didnt see action until much later in 44' early 45'. 1 ) Use the QB - but will need to set the time to Italy, May 45' in order to get those vehicles closest to the Normandy battlefield and temp setting ( it will show cool temp, but nothing you can do to change that ). The cool weather works great for NWE Fall 44' battles. If you want to have NWE Winter battles, you can purchase some of these vehicles in December 44' - Jan 45' setting, and it will work perfect ( with or without snow ). 2 ) Use the Scenario Editor to create your own battles - purchase your Firefly as I believe they arrive in Italy, Oct 44' not sure about the AC, but check exact month. Now go back to parameters and change the month to July. You will now have these vehicles show up for your Normandy battles. Do the same process for some of your Fall 44' battles. By Winter 44' most of the vehicles show up anyways on both NWE and Italy so not much change is needed. Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedora Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks Joe, Now I begin to get it, I'll try that when I get home (travelling just now). In the meantime, just one more question, what is the difference between CM ETO and CM Normandy? On my (admittedly quick) initial looks they seem to be quite similar. Thanks Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMac Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 CM Normandy is just another terrain & building mod that is suppose to better reflect what Normandy is like ( the mod will have greener grass, and different buildings then CMETO ). CMETO better reflects battles after Normandy in France ( After the breakout - From Fall thru to Germany. Now, if you really want to better reflect Fall battles in NWE ( I havent done this yet, but ofcourse requires you to download CMAK again, and call it 'CMETO-Fall ' if you will ) use CMBB fall trees & bases. I personally just use CMETO for all battles from Normandy onwards, ( but decided to keep the original CMAK grass as I like it better ). So basically, CMAK - for battles in the Med, CM Normandy - for battles in Normandy, CMETO-Fall ( optional - if you like to add fall trees & bases ) CMETO - For battles after Normandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically, CMAK - for battles in the Med, CM Normandy - for battles in Normandy, CMETO-Fall ( optional, only if you like to do- if you like to add fall trees & bases ) CMETO - For battles after Normandy.
