http://www.mediafire.com/?2nkfjx1m1c2o9jp carpet windows.

Ever taken an RPG to your tank from a building? Of course you have! Ever wanted to see thru those dang windows? Well this maybe a solution for you!

Ok this started as a simple fix for windows. However, as I suspected the interior of buildings have no normals facing you. What this means is that you "see thru walls". There is no easy fix for this, so I whipped up the "carpet compromise". This allows you to see behind the windows while minimizing the interesting X Ray glassess thru walls deal. This is not a perfect solution by far, but it is quick and easy.

Some folks can put up with the compromise solution, others will find it annoying as hell. You have been warned =). This will be a stand alone micro mod for SABOW. Due to its compromise nature it will not be in anything I release in future.











A semi-historical campaign....

What is this mini mod? The mini mod is a collection of modified SABOW units, squad, or teams that I created for my campaigns. Most of it is simply "rebranded" equipment that is not present on one side or the other in default SABOW. Others are custom formations such as deticated anti tank teams and such. There have been 3 released versions so far starting with Crescent Moon. Somewhere along the way i started adding in little models of of mine. The energa anti tank rifle grenade for instance. For next release (sometime after next patch) I have included an M1 style helmet, g3a3 battle rifle, rdg2 smoke hand grenade, 40 mm rifle fired smoke grenade, of course the energa rifle grenade and modified red unita head gear you see in Operation Safari and Dystopia. The goal has been to seamlessly intergrate within SABOW. If you always thought it was there then I did good. biggrin





Custom made G3a3 with 40mm smoke nade. Part of mini mod V1.9.


Custom made M2HB 12.7mm (.50 cal) heavy machine gun. Part of mini mod V1.9.

Trolling for some feed back from any of the 61 people who have DL this stuff so far. Well watcha think? Two vary different missions and I'll be starting another one here pretty quick. Feed back will influence how I put it together. So if you have played any of the newer versions, or the older versions TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!. Oh and have you encountered the energa yet? Or had ai blow up any stuff with it?

Well I'm entering an internet black out time. Just moved out to the boon docks. A couple miles away from any good internet (so close, but far enough away). So until some crappy internet satellite gets set up, no net for me. But I get to be surrounded by horses and llamas? So until then no updates or fixes (if needed) unless I head into town to a coffee house. So like 90% of the game playing public no crashing my DCS blackshark online or up/downloading maps and mods.

Thx for your mods mr flashburn. You remind me of a guy over at battlefront called fuser (combat mission battle for Normandy) who's appetite for turning out beautifully modded skins for vehicles matches your own relentless drive it seems for sabow.

Keep up the good work.

Ok I'm seeing people still downloading minimod V1.4 and missions, but without the quick fix. If you are running FEB graviteam beta with V1.4 minimod your fine. If you are running March graviteam beta with V1.4 mini mod and missions WITHOUT quick fix, it will crash. With quick fix it should be fine. Make sure graviteam patch is at bottom of list, followed by V1.4 flashburn mini mod, and quick fix at the top. So....

Quick fix
V1.4 mini mod
March Graviteam patch.

Quick fix is for all language versions. Just had to change mini mod ammo classes to match up with changes in Graviteam March patch. However it appears the changes made by Graviteam now do not properly report ammo numbers when a rifle class weapon can fire different types of ammo (rifle grenade).

When next patch is released I will package it all back up again in one easy file.

With this mod i can't use 7.62 mm in gunner seat of M60A1. I running game with core update v577, March graviteam beta1 patch and quick fix - all correctly installed. When minimod + fix are disable almost everything works fine, I can shot 7.62 mm gun by RMB but counter of ammo missing sometimes.

P.S. sorry for my bad english.

Thanks, Ill test that out. The counter for ammo is messed up but Andrey has said a new beta 2 march patch is in the works which should fix that. As far as why m60 will not fire coax....thats odd. Ill look into that right now. I never touched any config for tank weapons. Just stuff I had to with R1/Fal rifles for rifle grenade.


Are you running MArch beta patch or the old beta 1 patch? They changed out ammo classes in march patch. The quick fix is for graviteam march patch. All the various patching fixes stuff and breaks other stuff (well my mod). When next patch comes out Ill get everything packaged up right again but people are running various patches so it causes caos.

Ya, just tested. M60 coax does not fire. Dont know why. Ill look into it. Thanks for posting and telling me this. 360 downloads of this thing and no one said anything. biggrin

Ok found problem with m60 coax and my mod. Still works fine with t62 (operation safari). And another quick fix in 10 minutes......UGH.

Hello, this quick fix for quick fix for march beta graviteam and mini mod v1.4 not working. I tried to install all above graviteam update again and nothing changes. That's odd cause when mini mod and fixes are installed but disabled, M60 machinegun fire without any problem. Do I have to create new profile or uninstall all patches and upgrades before fixing?

My game updater:
1 quick_fix_for_quick_fix_V1.4; Version: 1.00
2 Mini_mod_V1.4; Version: 1.04
3 Game update; Version: 1.03

Edit:
I clear my game updater and install all again: core update v577, patch beta1 (mar12), FlashBurn mini mod and missions and FlashBurn QUICK FIX for quick fix FOR MAR BETA AND mini mod V1.4. Also created new profile. Only number of ammo is displaying correct.
Are you sure last fix work?

Both of method checked and still nothing. I'll wait for next march patch (especially for improved selecting target algorithm).

BTW I only finished Afghan and almost over Iranian missions, so for this moment just play first turn of Crescent Moon and Operation Safari. Both looks very interesting for me but I wondering how to command mixed platoon APC/TANK from commander seat of my tank (not from map). I hope next patch will add more inside tank movement options for squad.

Flashburn, just a quick message to say thanks for your work. I haven't actually tested the new fixes (or the fix for the fix...) so I can't confirm or deny whether the fixes work. But before that I did check out both scenarios, and although I got my arse handed to me.. They were great fun.

Like most people I'm struggling with playing the vanilla content and learning how to play properly. So it may be a while before I can give you a detailed report. Just thought I'd confirm that people are in fact downloading the missions, it's not some glitch with the download counter over at mediafire.

It's good to see that someone has already begun adding new content so once people get over the initial head-scratching-learning phase, there's something to move on with.

Keep up the good work and hopefully you inspire other people to make missions and mods for this great game. thumbsup

You know its funny that you say that because mediafire is reporting my download numbers from days ago. So unless they are going backwards I was closing in on 1200 downloads. The funny thing is that Operation Safari V1.5 is (english version) keeps getting downloaded even though I removed most of the links to it. So somewhere out in internet land........I've been linked. Just hope they are not running March beta.....

I just want to say that I'm really pissed off at mediafire for loosing stats on downloads. I think its some sort of conspiracy to make me get a pro account. Anyone know if they stop free stuff at some point, closing in on 700mb served......would you like fries with that? Little worried after the stats not tracking anymore.

what do they charge? 10 bucks a month for mediafire when my biggest file size is 1.57mb seems way to much.

Skydrive is a nice alternative. It's linked to hotmail accounts (I think..) but it's free, and should serve your needs.
300mb max file size
25gb total storage
Files only go inactive after 90 days, which shouldn't be an issue.

There's a few more here if you want to 'shop around'.

Can ANYONE who has download German Versions of these missions tell me if they display correctly in game? I know its only 170 of you or so BUT please let me know if they are working out with german version........and what if anything you guys had to do to get them to run. Working on updated version of Minimod V1.5 for March patches so if theres a problem now is the time to say something.

New mission for March beta 2 patch and mini mod v1.5................Dystopia.

Its a sudo beta so be warned but everything should work. Its gotten a bit of testing and seems to be doing what its suppose to do. All comments welcome!

Dystopia....

Fight along side SAR as you defend a disabled supply convoy awaiting recovery/reinforcements.

Trolling for feed back on Dystopia. Right now the mission is doing more or less as intended but I want to put in a BIG final fight....and give arty to arty spotter.....lol. Hopefully V1.0 will be wrapped up by end of weekend. But feed back helps a ton you quite non talking people!



Wow got my butt handed to me in the first night battle. Had my supporting infantry way to spread out. Rule 1 for night fights.....condense your lines. UGH! Love SABOW, the only game I know that you can make a mission, roughly know whats going to happen, and still get your arse totally kicked.

indetified some more small issues with v0.9 dystopia. I gave stricken convoy 40 ammo (which I thought was a heck of alot) however it all gets used up within 2 or 3 turns. I certainly don't remember seeing this before with any other mission in SABOW. Scratches head. IF arty was getting restocked that would be ok with me, but it is not...........so what the heck???? So more ammo I guess.

Night battles are really freaken dark, which is fine. Thats why your arty support has flares......use them. BUT arty is not restocking them grrrrrr. But this ties in with the opps arty spotter I did not give arty too.

Oh and I dindt give any ammo to depot, now that should not be a problem as theres only 10 turns and you might need more ammo around turn 9 or 10. Still need to fix that.


Ok to much fighting at night in current build biggrin I wanted dark so enemy infantry could have a chance to infiltrate your lines.....but TOO much dark. Will fix that by SUNDAY.

OK think I found all the issues with V0.9. Ill start v1.0 here right quick. Hopefully before Sunday. BIGGEST ONE.......To freaken dark for to many turns. Started pissing me off. One or two, Ok a challange.......4 or 5 AUCK, hell on earth no fun. pitchafit


Totally restructured mission, calling it dysyopia V9B. Issues I thought I had gotten rid of have reappeared. That is the enemy ignores attacking the convoy and goes straight for the dug in south africian armor. Sort of funny really.....but not what im after.

Wow, getting the ai to do more or less what I want in a more linear way is proving vary difficult......For Dystopia V1.0. Should be ALOT better than sudo beta Vo.9. Got what is supppose to happen with convoy and relief force to do what I want, but after that.??????????????????????????? It does what it wants.

Ok I was trying to get to where the player only needed to worry about 2 combat squads and 2 supply squads. I could spend DAYS and I could maybe get it to do what I want.......sometimes or just do the easy thing and make the player in control of relief force. Hmmmmmm I think the easy way is the way to go.

Dystopia V1.0 ENG now out the door. http://www.mediafire.com/?ttuo745mafo7lrn



Back to Angola as a playable t62 on Unita's side........... Fight along with South African forces to defend your fuel stricken supply convoy.




Made some what scalable based upon skill level. While the skill level is a bit higher than default SABOW, it certainly is not set to extreme. If you find it to easy set the ai level higher via menu in game. As with all my missions setting historical units to OFF allows a few more reinforcements for your platoons.

Remember your mission! 1. keep convoy from being destroyed. 2. Fight your way to convoy and protect fuel/recovery platoon. 3. Get out of dodge and return to defensive lines (supply depot area) before enemy over runs stricken supply convoy area. If you are up to major challenge just sit there =). Use the assets given to you. Flares from arty are extremely useful when vary dark. Oh and scan, scan, and scan somemore. Pretty much every btr-60 has mechanics in them. Try to keep them alive to repair your armor and equipment. They are not tagged as such. Honestly did not think of it when making mini mod V1.5.

This mission is an attempt at a somewhat more linear structure than defualt SABOW. Suprisingly dificult to get ai to do what you want. Hopefully the ai does not do something totally crazy to you........like ignore the striken supply convoy and go hell bent on your supply depot area while its not too defended or just sit around convoy and dig in. Vary hard to dig them out of there holes to get fuel thru to stricken convoy.

Nice work, downloading. I wish I had more time to play this, buut I'll get to play it eventually once I master things.

With the AI, I reckon maybe it's ok even if they don't do what's expected. That's the SABOW way wink

Oh poop. Which eng or ger version?

Found the issue......again. Had a link to the version of Dystopia BEFORE I set up the addpack file. SO sorry bout that. All links should now go to the right place. The mission however is the same, just a fubar addpack file. You could manually install the mission (cut paste type stuff) or just redownload it. oops

This sounds like either march beta 2 is not installed/installed wrong OR minimod V1.5 is not installed. Dystopia needs both. So if minimod 1.5 is installed, you should see operation safari v1.6 and cresent moon v1.3 under missions. If crescent moon v1.3 and safari v1.6 run without crashing then all should be good. Both these missions depend on Mini mod V1.5. It adds custom squads used by missions.......ie there is not playable t62 for unita in default game. Plus a whole bunch of other units. If these are missing, then crash O rama. Also March beta changes the way rifle rounds are handled. Before there was 1 type used by sabow.....7.62 x 54mm. March betas added in 7.62 x 39mm and 7.62 x 51 mm NAto. If march beta is not installed right......crash O rama.

So install list in updater should look like

V1.0 Dystopia
V1.5 mini mod
V1.03 garviteam march beta 2 patch.

Ah no. Just like regular SABOW. Green means playable, red and orange mean ai. Your tank by convoy should get attacked right off...well should, ai does what it wants biggrin. Should hit the turn icon and see red flaming thing. That will take you to set up screen. PLace your units where you want, then the clock icon thing, for initial orders....ei tell em what to do, if anything. SET up arty TRP's flag icon and numbers 1,2,3. Call air support if you want. 5 minutes VS 25 minutes or so if you wait till in battle. Start the battle, try not to die. Protect your assets....etc.

These screens are from Dystopia. Just want to say..........USE YOUR SUPPORTS WELL!!!!!! Use the terrain to YOUR advantage. Make sure you LOOK at fuel ammo levels of your units. You can set up what units need/dont need supplies and what priority they get. Somewhat important in Dystopia, REALLY important in operation safari. Oh and I like feed back. I am trying to balance out the sim/gamer/cav scout in me in these missions.



2 south african choppers went medieval on this BMP.



Good TRP's and arty are your friends. Nearly a whole platoon wiped out from 2 trp's from arty spotter and a platoon leader.

Masiff......something is totally borked. Can you post a screen or two?

it sounds like mini mod v1.5 is not installed right.....or something? Its what makes the t62 playable for unita and alot of other stuff used in mission.

In updater it should look like this...

top
V1.0 Dystopia
V1.5 mini mod
1.03 graviteam march beta 2 patch.
bottom

If for instance graviteam patch is at the top, it will over write mini mod files and return to vanilla game.....or something close. Which would explain that.

Historical units dont matter one way or the other in this case. Off gives you a few more units and is a little less hard.

Well beyond the fact I forgot to add a 0 at the end of version number biggrin that all looks fine. Now why the heck you cant fight it out with the t62's is vary confussing.

Ok, Dystopia needs some more tweeking in order to become a better mission. It is not a bad mission but it could be better. Off the top of my head, the point system is totally borked. Well, the reason for that was simply when I put more important point ai do hickies, the ai became vary perticular about what it wanted to do. Thats pretty easy to fix, but 12 turns really was not enough. The darn mission ended (for me,your milage my vary) right when things where getting interesting around supply depot. Well i got one good fight in, but 1 platoon of cuban armor was taking its marry time getting into battle. This play thru, the freaken t55 and bmp platoon NEVER engaged me anywhere. LOSERs...lol. But that can change per play thru depending what the ai wants to do.


I am looking for feed back, so please post ideas for improvements.
What I am currently thinking is....

1. fix points
2. Less Ratel/oliphant platoons.....more t62's. Now I have no idea if Unita ever captured a t62. They certainly got there hands on enough t55's but alas, no playable t55. But for fun sake......more t62s. Probably replace 1 of the oliphant platoons with a mixed t62/t55 platoon.
3. a couple more turns
4. Dump mortars from manuver platoons. Since march beta and better formation command, this is just a pita to deal with (I ended up disbanding my mortars for men after they shoot all their ammo:D.
5. More manuver points around depot area. 2 does not seem to be enough, that was a surprise.
6. Depot needs something to do when your off playing the cavarly.

So post ye comments!

However it will be awhile before I update this mission. (a few weeks) Still its 4 or 5 hours of something to do. biggrin When next version comes out, it will a lot different.

I still haven’t had time to play it much or even the basic missions.

But if you feel like doing more modding I have a suggestion 

What about an interface mod? I really don’t like the interface and those flat buttons. Not as much fun as making weaponry though that’s for sure

Why should you be embarassed? thumbsup

Sabow needs to be patched with 5.77 engine update and march beta 2 patch to work.

Installing mini mod v1.5 and Dystopia is just like installing march beta patch. That is, open game updater, hit install, go to where ever you unpacked folder, open folder (from updater file browser), find its desc.addpack file, and hit save and play.

in updater it should look like.....

Going to be doing an updated/improved dystopia mission shortly. Will probably end up bundling it into mod so there will be only 1 mod file that people will have to download. So if interested in doing a little bit of testing on new version let me know via pm.

Also I would like to do another cresent moon style mission, only from the Iraq side. If anyone has suggestions feel free to post!


Mod is closing in on 2000 downloads for the files I am hosting...........neato. I really hope people enjoy it. biggrin

boing? behindcouch

I think mods for SABOW only reach a small percentage of the over all owners of the game. I only post updates here, graviteam, and sukhoi. But its crazy. People are still downloading the OLD version of Safari even though I long ago removed all links to it. Oh, and the German versions.......nothing nothing......then 40 downloads in 24 hours and such. So that tells me that there are folks on other forums posting little blurbs about stuff. I would like to reach other tanker/sim guys but don't know where they hang out in internet land.

What is really odd is so little feed back on missions/mini mod I have done. Don't get me wrong, I do get some but I still have no idea what people like most etc etc.

Don't feel bad FB, SFK42 suffers from the same lack of feedback when new user content is released, so your in good company hahaha. I don't think it's a bad thing since the number of DL's of your mods speaks volumes, if it wasn't good no one would be DLing them. So I really think it's more that people must be pretty content with what was presented in your mods rather then what isn't presented thumbsup

Plan for next big release *should* consist of G3a3 and steel pot for Iran for sure. Hopefully M2HB .50 cal for Iran and South Africa and if nothing stupid happens.....an F5E light fighter for Iran. What will NOT be next version is playable m113a1 darkcloud Issues galore with that for now..... Oh and energa anti tank rifle grenade for Unita, Iran, and South Africa (well they are already in mini mod now but eh).

Updated Dystopia will get included as well. Will release a beta version here soon. Basicly will be alot of tweeks to hopefully improve the mission. Hopefully will have one totally new mission as well. Depends on how much time I have. Seems to take about a week to develop/basic test a decent mission.

The plan is to release all this shortly after next patch to SABOW (when ever that is), but I have a feeling that should not be vary long.

Beta version of V1.1 Dystopia mission... http://www.mediafire.com/?6isgdri90iuhcha

It is English only and may have small issues (read the read me included). Requires mini mod V1.5. I was a bit lazy and did not update the addpack file. When you run updater it will say something stupid like V0.10 dystopia... However everything is is all good.

Enough people have downloaded V1.1 beta dystopia (more than I thought would) that I am trolling for feed back. I lack the time to really give it a good run thru right now. Really need the community to say what is right/wrong with mission. All my focus is on getting models finished and in game right now for next release. Plus I really want to get a new mission in for release. It may end up being really simple/short, but none the less......

LOL. Thats what crescent moon is for. On Angola map big tank on tank clash would be problematic in my mind. Have you tried default Iran campaign with battle size set to unlimited? EEEK! Well you need a monster machine for one.....and two its major slaughter. Ya my focus as been more on tanks supporting infantry operations. Its how tanks have been getting used most for the past 30 years. In Crescent moon that mission was set up more along the lines of a proxy for Soviet/Western Europe nightmare senerio. That is 1st wave of soviet offensive would have consisted of mech infantry backed up with tanks. Once hole developed, the tanks where suppose to exploit the breach in the lines. Of course on the Western side being out numbered and on defense would mean remaining flexible and conducting a rolling defense. Getting pinned in one spot would mean getting over run and destroyed.

Nearly 100 downlaods for beta 1.1 dystopia. This suprised me. Every thing previous that had beta in title got way fewer downloads. BUT, need feedback deadhorse. Now I assume since no one is complaining that all is well with mission? Its ready to be bundled in with mod?

Also along these lines.... I have an idea or two for "mini campaigns". Basicly 3 or 4 hour mission with simple objectives. More of a jump in and go sort of deal. Feedback?

Mardga Redux is now released http://www.mediafire.com/?5p4b3zx4v2csl0l

Basicly a modified graviteam Afgan campaign. Main changes consist of intergrating 2 tank platoons into bmp/btr platoons in order to make reinforced mech infantry platoons. The removal of one arty spotter and replaced with 4 mortars for on screen arty. (fun to play with) Infantry are no longer tied to their bmp/btr. this does has an issue as their is no correct text in vanilla game for this. Game reports them as ??? crew. That is annoying but will fix it in mini mod 2.0. Bunch of little things you may or may not notice.

Oh ya this requires no mods as well.

Not good.........seems I introduced a possible crash bug. Have to go thru modified mission cfg files.........UGH!

Ok, it maybe i my current mini mod build. PLEASE......if this crashes on you let me know if its vanilla game or if your running mini mod v1.5 or whatever mods. I can not recreate the crash I got.......could be some totally random deal.


Wow, this mission plays out way different than default one. Little supprised by how much.

NEED TESTERS for beta minimod V1.9, Mardga Redux Expert, and The Road alpha (not finished, issue currently beyond my ability to correct). Is a closed test, just pm me if interested.

Mini mod V1.9 contains many new custom squad/unit formations, G3a3 rifle, energa rifle grenade, 40mm smoke rifle grenade, rkg2 smoke grenade, M1 style helmet for Iran. Currently smoke nades are rarly used. Hopefuly come up with a solution before version 2.0 is released. All new models and textures by me.

Whukid is getting a crash bug on The Road. It is rock solid for me, but need more people to take her for a spin to correct any issues found. Crash bugs, wonky textures, balancing issues, etc.


Why do I have the feeling that finding testers is going to get harder when APOS patch is released? Well, I will probably go on an APOS binge again so hmmmm ererrrerererr.

To anyone that has downlaod and played Dystopia..... And there are quite a few of you. PLease tell me what you think of either or both V1.0 and V1.1 Beta. The feed back is EXTREMLY helpful. I have not been able to even play Dystopia V1.1 beta. Did I improve or screw it up with V1.1?

Wow just looked over posts from this weekend......spelling and typos city. LOL. I COULD care.....BUT no. Ok is it asking to much to get 5 comments out of the 500 downloads? deadhorse deadhorse deadhorse

Wow I have gotten REAL fast at making campaigns. Just got the basics done for what I am calling Mardga 2.0 Expert. My modded div pool files from mardga redux with completly new ai placement and orders. Well thats why it went so fast, the hard stuff was already done :P. Still has no briefing screen but all the turns have a brief. probably will need some tweeking but if anyone wants to help me test the bugger post or PM me. Trying it with 9 turns, should equal about 15 or 16 battles. If 1 hour turns and you accept cease fires, probably at least 10 hours of campaign. winkngrin Unless it proves to be totally wacko unbalanced......

A few screens from my to be released mission Mardga 2.0 expert.

Still need testers!



Slowly getting mission the way on want it. Ai is doing some wierd placement of guys in the middle of open fields totally ignoring my ai flags. They just stand there until t62 and bmp fire wipes out 3/4 of them in 10 seconds, then attempt to run away. But the rest are being placed well by ai, so it makes up for it. Errrr I want new sabow patch.........I don't think Gravi has even started on it yet... booohooo boing

Ya the to55. Its in mardga campaign that ships with SABOW but they show kind of late to the party. In totally new mission I am working up (based on Gravi's Afgan campaign but totally new, changed everything but unit structure for afgans) I have to55 show up earlier and threw 2 to55 in reserve pool for people that want to throw them into there tank platoon. Want to take it for a test drive?

Sure why not!

Couldn't imagine anything more terrifying than a flamethrower tank for infantry!

Well there on YOUR side. biggrin Ill upload newest version and PM you with it. Also in there is current build of minimod 1.9 and a vary undone campaign the road. There *shouldn't* be any issues other than typos and some missing wrong text that I have not fixed (or found yet).


Oh I forgot......theres a really bad reskin (a test) of gaz66 under pattern 1. The m2hb .50 cal is also in there (no texture and text appears as diska)under quick battles on Iran side. So ya, theres a few unfinished other things in there too. Feel free to mess around with them if you want. biggrin


Anybody else want to try this stuff out before I make the big ole release after sabow patch?



Do lack of me able to find enough people to beta test this thing AND the fact that APOS/SABOW patches are delayed I am going to release a public beta build of what I have done now. PLEASE post comments on any issues. I REALLY NEED THE FEED BACK to ensure quality. However.....from my understanding of what the newest patches will bring to sabow (the editor), my missions will probably get tweeked before I release the real deal.

ONCE again.............PLEASE POST ANY PROBLEMS, TYPOS, MISSING TEXT, ETC.. Assuming this generates feed back, this will free me up to work on the other things I would like to get done.

http://www.mediafire.com/?7i2io8qqery5llf This is a BETA of V1.9 minimod and mission Mardga 2.0 EXPERT. Their is a VARY unfinished mission THE ROAD, but I would not bother playing it unless you expect completly unbalanced wonkyness.

Mini Mod V1.9 contains m1 helmet, g3a3 battle rifle, energa rifle grenade, 40mm smoke rifle grenade, rgd2. These are all more of less finished. Also alot MORE custom units and squads that appear in new missions. Also resovles units that did not want to dig trenches.....they all should now. And a BUNCH of little things I can't even remember.

Forgot to say.....its a stand alone addon. Install just like a game patch. It needs to be at top of list in game updater.

Thought I would do a little update to the thread as I currently have a couple projects that could influence things with my campaigns.

When I get that freaken user controlled vehicle thing sorted out I plan on reworking operation safari or dystopia to be a campaign for the saladin armored car. Have not desided which yet. But Unita will get it for sure.

Crescent moon which does not even pretend to be a historical campaign will certainly get both m113 playable and the saladin. Basicly the idea is player gets to be recon guy if he/she so chooses.

Of course have to get there first, but working on this last issue.

FlashBurn, I dl the Safari and Crescent and minimod and will try them and give feed back as soon as I feel comfortable with the sim. I'm new to it. I've been over your tutorial and krabb's about gunnery in the M60 and the T62 but I don't quite grasp it yet.
