Senior_Drill has been kind enough to offer his data editing workbooks and MS Access database editors to the community. Download the Database Editors, these files require you to have MS Access installed. The editors provided are for CC3, CC4, CC5, CCMT, CoI. An Elements Editor is included also. The workbooks available for download are as follows... CC3, CoI, CC4, CC5, CCM 3.1 and CCMT. You need MS Excel installed to view these workbooks.
The old CC5 Vetmod is now available for download. Created years ago we finally have it available for everyone! Extract all three plugins to your /Config Manager/Plugins folder. The GerVet and USVet plugins are designed to make the AI stronger. Their infantry teams have extra men and are more aggressive. The GerVet plugin is used to play versus American AI, the USVet plugin is for playing against German AI. The third plugin, VetModv2 is for playing online against other human opponents. This plugin gives both players access to all the new vehicles. A readme.txt file is included with more details.
Digs has upgraded his Weapons Cache soundmod to version 1.2. There are 11 new sounds, which brings it to well over 30 total. The new sounds have been imported from Call of Duty. Digs has included a very detailed readme.txt with info on all new sounds. Unzip this plugins to your /Config Manager/Plugins folder. The soundmod is compatible with CC5 5.01 only.
PrivateRyan1 has created a fictional mod called "My Country." The mod was created about two years ago and has only surfaced to the community now. There is a new stratmap which resembles Mallorca, strengthened infantry teams with AT capability and much more armour is available. A point to note, PrivateRyan has included air strikes into the forcepool. He has done this much the same way as FOO teams operate in Afrika and Meuse. The mod has not been uploaded, all we have to show so far are screenshots in the My Country Gallery. Have a look at the previews....

Two Modern Tactics movies have been added. Both these movies showcase features not present in other versions of Close Combat. Both movies are from Matrix Games and are WMV format. CCMT Video 1, 18megs. This video displays an in game battle. CCMT Video 2, 55megs. This second video takes you from forcepool selection to the end results of a battle.
John3 has created seven new CC3 maps which are now available for download here in our CC3 maps library.
Four winter and three steppe maps from Moscow, Kharkov and Kursk. To play these maps download and unpack them into your /Program Files/Close Combat III/Maps folder. These maps are also compatible with Cross of Iron, unpack the maps to the /Program Files/Close Combat III/Maps folder. Once you are in the game simply create a scenario for them and then you can use the map.
Have you got firewall problems? There is a possible work around for those who cannot get thier configured to work with Gamespy or Battle HQ. Download and install Hamachi. Hamachi creates a virtual private network tunnel which bypasses your firewall. This should in most cases enable you to connect Close Combat to another member with Hamachi. This program requires virtually no configuration.Simply install and go. Currently there is a network (room) set up for everyone to meet. The network is called Close Combat Series and the password to join is ccs, name and password are case sensitive. We host the english version here or you can go to https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp to get other languages.
Everyone say goodbye to Buck_Compton, he's deploying to Afghanistan with the Dutch Artillery on April 1st.

pzjager's
mod Stalingrad Operation Circle has been completed and is now available for
download. Following 14 months of hard work, pzjager decided to release the mod
on the battles start date of January 10th, 1943, 65 years ago. This battle covers
the final period of the Russian assault on the city and surrounding areas. From
pzjagers release info he says, "The mod begins with the astonishing attack
of the Kessel on the morning of January 10th, on all the northern, western and
southern fronts, on a line going from Orlovka to Malo Rossochka on the north,
from Malo Rossochka to Marinovka on the west and from Marinovka to Beketovka
on the south. All the historical Axis units are here present, including the
two Romanians divisions and the Croatian regiment which were encircled in the
Kessel after November 23rd, 1942 and shared their destiny with the rest of the
German 6th Army." The mod consists of 35 new maps, the remaining nine are modified
maps from Der Kessel. We also have tons of new data, sounds, BGs, stratmap and
units as well as many other changes.

zCharles
has also released his Warhammer mod. If you haven't heard of Warhammer visit the
Wikipedia entry.
zCharles' mod features entirely new units, weapons and some sounds. A new stratmap
is also available. All of the maps are either from the original CC5 or from mods.
Several have been modified to include items and objects from the Warhammer universe.
It does his include his latest soldiers.adb update, in case you downloaded this
previously. Players must be warned however, the maps used have not had their names
changed. If you unzip the map pack into your main CC5 maps folder you risk overwriting
critical data from other mods. You should create a new CC5 install and install
this mod exclusively to it.

The Meuse Crossing mod by Tejszd is getting some more attention. Volksjager_cn
& Tejszd
plan on upgrading Meuse to version 3.5. The list of changes and ideas for new
fixed are in this
thread. AG81
has started a new mod, The Battle of Vukowar. This battle took place in the Balkans
war of the 1990's. This particular city was defended by a small force or regulars
and militia against massivly overwhelming odds. Most notable about this battle
was how the defenders managed to destroy a large percentage of the enemy tanks
and hold out for so long. AG81 has a forum now for the mod, visit it here and
stay tuned with all the updates as they come in. Mafi
has updated his RTB
Tool to version 2.16. A full readme with all the updates is included with
the download. The Battle for Ebro mod by Nomada_Firefox
and team has been updated to version 2.0, download Ebro
2.0. This mod was updated quite a few months ago but due to the language barrier
we've only found it now. There is a long list of updates and fixes in the readme
file, in Spanish. We originally covered Ebro 1.0 in this
article from July 2007. Kostas1977 and Polemarchos
have embarked together to construct a new CC5 mod entitled, "Crete Maleme
Sector." This battle takes place in 1940 when German Paratroopers jump into battle
to take control of the small but strategically important island. Polemarchos has
created a Crete
Intro Video with some very inspiring and familair music for our enjoyment.
We have added the original article from the USMC Gazette to the Combat Gallery.
All six pages which covered or mentioned CCM were scanned. In order here they
are, cover
page, page
12 - CC and Infantry Tactics,
cont on page 14, page
20 mention, cont
on page 22, page
91 - CCM Scenario. Combat Modern Tactics which was based on the original CCM
was released back on November 14th will have its first patch released soon. The
patch will address several overlooked details with referencece to which vehicles
can load soldiers as well several bugs and gameplay will be address and it will
be adding more units and countries to the game.
Over the years during the winter months CCS traffic traditionally increases. This
year we've seen an enormous increase. December alone seen 1347 Gigabytes in traffic.
This month was about to crash that record untill some measures were put in place
so we did not go over our limit. We'd like to remind everyone that this site is
privately sponsered by five members of community year after year no matter what.
If you would like to contribute to the sites costs for whatever reason you can.
On the left hand side of this artile you may click on the "Contribute" button
to find out how. All contributors will have thier name added the list if they
so wish.
There are a few projects for content on this site that have been on going for
quite some time. These projects will hopefully be finished in the coming months
and added here to CCS. They include a Battle Group Speed Guide where you can check
any BG from most every CC5 mod and check its speed in relation to opposing units.
We also hope to add Cross of Iron and Modern Tactics mods to our download database.
A stalingrad operation Circle stratmap guide and install guide are in the works,
as well as an airstrike guide. Coming sooner than these projects will be a possible
fix of the CC5 mod Karelia2. It has been noted the install.txt does not work on
all installations so a fix will be made to make it compatible. Lastly rouge5 has
created a WW2 Weapon Icon Library. It will be added soon in either download or
html form. Do you have a new or updated mod to release? Or do you want to announce some CC news to the community? Just contact MOOXE with your submission!

Close Combat Player's News - December 14th 2007

Since the last CC Players News, here's a small snapshot of what's been going
on...
The Kharkov mod by Drizzt
has been released and is available now. This engagement simulated here is the
17 days when the German forces encircled a large number of Soviet units incurring
the loss of over 200,000 men and hundreds of tanks. Drizzt's mod features 44 maps
taken from CC3, some of which you will recognize from Stalingrad. There are new
units, sounds, stratmap and new data. The familiarity between Kharkov and Stalingrad
can be welcoming as it lessens the learning curve. For example, you will recognize
immediately when a medium machine gun or PPSH is firing as well as many others.
Names of many units and equipment loadout are very similar as well.
