winkelried Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Working on a smaller scenario (while improving Lucherberg and working on a second campaign) which will bring you a rare (almost historical) German against German tank battle. On one side German forces at Saint Nazaire (tanks probably fictional) on the other side the Escadron blindé du 1er Groupement Mobile de Reconnaissance (G.M.R.) of the Forces Francaises de l'Interieur (F.F.I.) of F.F.I. Capitane Besnier (Historical). Summary After finishing the Falaise pocket the Allies liberated France pretty quickly. They left behind lots of abandoned German equipment. Later in 1944 French resistance forces recovered several tanks and spare parts from the battlefields in Normandy. With this equipment they formed armored squadron of the 1er G.M.R. of Capitaine Besnier. The equipment included: 1 Tiger I 2 Panther (1 Ausf G Chassis with a A turret, and 1 Ausf A) 11 Panzer IV 2 StuG III 1 Jagdpanzer IV 1 Marder I (Lorraine Schlepper) 3 Panzerspähwagen TP 204 (f) (former Panhards) 4 7.5 cm PaK 1 Panzerwerfer 42 Opel Maultier some (?) Sd Kfz 251/1 Ausf D So I am looking for Modders who would mod the German vehicles to become F.F.I. equipment Any takers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Sounds interesting, but... ....even if you do manage to find some modders that will make mods for these vehicles, I foresee a bit of a problem: If there are identical tanks/vehicle types on both sides - and given the variety in you list there probably will be - how will the game determine which side is which? I mean: If for instance both germans and the french have StuGs, they will all look like your modded french version on both sides. And if you try to solve this by having both german and french versions in your data folder, they are going to be mixed - as far as I can see. I don´t think there is a way to make the game give one version of mods to one side - and the other version to the other (but if I´m wrong, I´ll be happy to be corrected). Anyway, good luck with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French just Panther Ausf A and the Germans the Ausf G. etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkelried Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 BTW looks like the camo of the FFI vehicles was standard German camo (three colors) and that just decals (cocarde + name) were applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
