Sounds nice and nothing like one of your mods to get me interested in CC again.. That "testing" we did had me burned out for a little while P/M.

Status: offline 		While I agree that the SDKfz 251/1 Wurframen is a very devastating weapon to have,as seen below.

But I'm playing with the Rule that they are only allowed to be used on Turn 1 of the GC and from there not to be used again.
And if the A.I. destroys it,I don't replace it,even if I could.
(Quantity is set at 1 in the FP and only for Day 1 of the GC)

And the Vehicle only has 12 rounds to use,rather than wait a Life Time to reload.

I've tried all the things I could to come up with to get Support for the Germans on the very first Battle of the GC (A Night Battle) but nothing works as properly as I had hoped.

So I put the SDKfz 251/1 Wurframen in just to Simulate the Heavy Barrages the Germans started the Campaign with.

Status: offline 		Screen shot from KG Bayer,
I had to Darken up the Vehicles used from CCIV in order for them to not be so bright for the Night Battle.
Maybe it could stand to go a little bit further but I'm fairly happy so far.

All SS Battle groups use Camo while all VG BG's use Stock CCIV Vehicles/tanks.

Adds for a little bit of variety.

One is complete the other is still a work in progress.

Do you see them?

Status: offline 		Getting more forgetful.. We went over this before long ago (the issues) and one is the graph on the R/S. I also thought, without going through the read me from your Vetbob that that older conversion was to be played at veteran. setting. How about this new stock campaign for best results?

Also. The KT in force pools above, where it suggests to look out for them.. Are they like the rare Tiger 1's in the earlier VB mod where you had to grab them and add them when available, or never see them again? They would stay in the BG though, until damaged, or destroyed, but not disappear if pulled from the force pool.

Just my 2c, but didn't use the things anyway and only rarely used the J/Panther in odd defensive scenarios. J/Tigers were simply too much for the allies to cope with period in this game and glad you are not bothering with them.

Status: offline 		Something that would be *nice* and not mentioned as a change? The Infantry units from that VetBob mod.. There is nothing as terrible as the 4-5 man teams that comes with the last 4 releases of CC. The Vetbob was the closest thing that came to the old time CC3 had seen in years that was fun to play at least.

Status: offline 		I was not able to make the proper change to have the Germans displayed on the right and the Allies on the left.
Due to the color overlays on the Strategic Map.
I'm willing to put forth the work if anyone has ideas.

The Mod is uploaded here along with the workbook.
Full list of changes was updated in the first post of this thread.

I understand.
I'll see what come later on down the road.
I won't however go past 7 man teams as the game then can't properly display those little green heads on some screens.

Right now I want to try and finish a 16 day GC.

I've restarted it so many times editing that I really just want to play for now.

I had to upload a newer version this morning due to some graphic errors I made.

Understand fully especially so some KG having fairly large numbers of teams with 7+ members. It was mainly the habit of just having 2, maybe 3 different options to choose from that was... Well... That Vetbob had everything and even if you do manage to have time to change anything, or even do another sometime, just severely reduce the elite teams and go with various weaker teams even.. Just difference is great.

Saw your post on another site regarding "tired of Vetbob" and think it's one of those for a game that will go back to for years game wise. it's that good to me. Thanks for all of your efforts done in the past.

Pulled that already found out fact from where you posted it on the other forums PM. 3rd scenario and that NEVER fixed bug in the game engine has already reared it's ugly head.

TTVetmod had that other "no unit" bug, but the CTD but was extinct in it for some reason. It's really odd how that bug follows some of the mods and the stock release.
