Can we get a 'Mods' sub-forum?

There are a lot of very nice mods around, but finding them can be a bit of a challenge.

It would be very useful if we could get a separate subforum where all mods could be collected and where...

I can get the bmps out of the .shp fine (I have started with the Z5 version of the summer trench tiles)

Re: No Building rubble

:confused:
I'm curious about the distinction as well.
Is a destroyed building still basically standing, but somehow uninhabitable?
A collapsed one has pancaked, but not to the point where you...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Hey Pat,
Your comment that 'bravery knows no flag' is especially true for DBP, as although we often think of it as a battle of French against Vietnamese, the 'French' force was incredibly...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Thanks a ton for those links, Pat.
A few that I hadn't seen before, including an excellent overhead shot of the main French base south of the Airfield that clarifies a few questions I had.
That...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Thanks Fastboat,
I read "Hell in a very small place" when I was based in Germany back in the '80s, and it really put the hook in me. I'm going to have to get another copy of that and re-read it. ...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

I'm mainly focusing on the Northern and Central firebases at the moment, but I have done a bit of work on the area down towards Isabelle (see sample)...

Re: Scenario: French Marine Paras in Algeria 7/1959

He he, yeah, I just assumed he was 'leading from the sky'.

As for the smg heavy units, I'm not familiar enough with the french oob to make any useful recommendations, but I suspect that any para...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Hi RazGator,
Thanks for the link.
I actually already have a copy of the topo map that Ray Smith based that one on. Unfortunately it's a USGS map from 1966, and it seems that the terrain in the...

Re: Scenario: French Marine Paras in Algeria 7/1959

Nice scenario, RazGator!
Gotta wonder what the French were thinking, though, sending their troops to fight in Algeria with smgs! :confused:
The Mosin-Nagants of the FLN sure shine at those longer...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Thanks iCaMp,

Yeah its looking like the only option is to start from scratch, as I finally dug up an old copy of SP3 and installed it, but...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Thanks Andy, totally understand the difficulties in conversion.

My question at this point is if there is any way to extract the maps and data from the SP3 files in order to use use as a model to...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Thanks for the suggestion Suhiir.
I have that, but it doesn't seem to me to be a very close representation of the battle. Besides its pretty large scale and the 800x600 is a bit limiting.
It would...

Re: DienBienPhu- How difficult to convert?

Ah, that's unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected.

Is there any chance that the maps or any of the unit info can be extracted from the files?
Its clear that the original maker put in a lot of...

I had an opportunity to visit the battle site in August, and seeing the grounds and the...

Re: Requests/possibilities of little dead bodies :(

After just having played an early vietnam scenario which featured in repeated attacks down a road, and the destruction of at least 10 squads within 2 hex area, I think that some graphic...
