Hi to all;
Here comes the end of April, so it is time to make a short summary of what has been made this month:
- 3 new maps have been finished: Vassilieski (south of the stratmap, on the Mishkova River, will be played on during Wintergewitter Operation), Souchanov (between Don and Tschir) and Ostrovski (On the Don). The total of finished maps is now 34 (for a total of 44, for those of you who are not familiar with CC5 moding), with two maps being currently in coding process externally (once again, many thanks to these guys who really help) and one in coding process by me (the largest map of the game: Verkh-Tschirskaya, on the crossriver between the Don, the Tschir and the Mishkova).
- I have been also working on tanks and guns graphics. All the tanks are now more or less finished, including the KV-1 which was not so easy.
- I have also choosen to reduce a little the size of the medium AT guns, so that it will be possible to place them into buildings (not in the stairs, if any!).
- I have also improved the sounds of some weapons, the ultimate goal being “one weapon, one sound”.
- The map “Vertiachy” has also been repainted and recoded, as I was not happy with some graphics (Vertiachy was one of the first maps I painted, a long long time ago…..).
- Improved some unit BGIcons, including the Katyusha, the Italian units (now available all in winter conditions) and the sMG34. Still looking, however, for some winter photos of soviets and Romanians. If someone could help with pictures not available on the web…
- Added some new weapons, including captured soviet weapons in the axis BG’s.
- Plus a lot of other modifications I even don’t remember…..
I have also choosen to reduce a little the size of the medium AT guns, so that it will be possible to place them into buildings (not in the stairs, if any!).
Every Month I eagerly await you news and read it with the anticipation of the great mod that you are making for us all to enjoy.
Many thanks to you as you inch closer towards the finishing post. I'm sure I speak not only for myself, but also for the silent majority of players in the community.

u could just code them as lite guns
I agree, Dima, but I had to reduce the graphics anyway, as I did not want to have a part of the gun outside the house and the other part inside, which is graphically unacceptable.
And I remember that with very big guns, it is not possible to place them in buildings even coding them as Light guns.
Hi Pzjager!
This time I am replying on the CCS site.
let us know what sort of picture you would like to get.
I have several book on WW2, and I could scan some pics you might need!
Cheers
