I've been working on this - obviously off and on - for about six years now.  That's how long it takes when you're working on a mod... alone... in the in-between hours...
I'm keeping a forum blog over at CSO, but I should do the same here, because a) I want to generate interest, and b) I want to generate interest in people who can do battlemaps to muck in with me.  At least, I hope there's still interest in modding these days...

So, here's some examples of frontscreens.  These were done for the original CC5, so they still need to be modified slightly for tLD.

Here are the original BG images I did and the compromised version, when it turned out that the original ones just didn't translate into real game use.  Still; I do like them.

Here is the stratmap, and the stratmap with all the connection arrows.

So... many... arrows...

Please, if you think the map area choices could be better, or any constructive criticism, please feel free to comment.  Constructive, mind.

Heh, I just love it... look at the supply and reinforce maps.  

Now, try to spot the allies resupply maps...

Here are a modified version of my original team heads.  Squadleader_id has apparently been putting my original team heads to work over the last few years; though they have evolved somewhat.

The legend is: ok, injured, incapacitated, dead, panicked, and surrendered.

The allied BGs were pretty straightforward. The limitations of CC tLD accompanied with the strategic requirements dictate I use Regiment/Brigade sized Battlegroups (excepting the one Recce Battalion) for the allies. The documentation and records of this operation were fantastic, so it wasn't hard at all to find the OOBs and such. CC tLD only let me down once; the 25 unit Force Pool limit meant I had to cut out a few intended units from the Armoured Brigades, but I mostly got away with AA units, since records seem to suggest the allies had cut back - or cut out completely - using AA units by this stage of the war. The only real surprise in my researching was the Princess Irene Brigade, who - unfortunately - don't seem to get enough popular press. That gives me:

(25)
1st Parachute Brigade
4th Parachute Brigade
1st Airlanding Brigade
504th Parachute Infantry Regiment
505th Parachute Infantry Regiment
508th Parachute Infantry Regiment
325th Glider Infantry Regiment
501st Parachute Infantry Regiment
502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment
506th Parachute Infantry Regiment
327nd Glider Infantry Regiment
401st Glider Infantry Regiment
5th Guards Armoured Brigade
32nd Guards Armoured Brigade
2nd Welsh Armoured Guards (Recce) Battalion
8th Armoured Brigade
129th Infantry Brigade
130th Infantry Brigade
214th Infantry Brigade
69th Infantry Brigade
151st Infantry Brigade
231st Infantry Brigade
157th Infantry Brigade
"Princess Irene" Motorised Infantry Brigade (Netherlands)
1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade

I believe this is the optimal segmentation to allow the triple strategic application of: capturing the bridges, spearheading up the route to Arnhem, and holding the road (and your supply lines) from counter attacks. It also leaves a lot of battlegroup spots left for the real problem; The German battlegroups listing.

God, what a mess. There are a number of major issues I encountered whilst trying to untangle this part of my research: the Germans had suffered gross casualties during the Normandy breakout, and many units had been heavily decimated or reduced in size; the German army had made use heavily of the Kampfgruppe, which was a very flexible, varyingly sized, and constantly adjustable battle grouping; there was a ridiculous amount of axis troop movements during Market Garden; available records of German unit involvement are sometimes sketchy, and often - I've found - contradictory or confusing; the Germans re-assigned numerous units during this conflict, so some listings will say they were attached to this division, whilst others say that division, etc; the Nazi German army did a lot of unit adjustments over it's lifetime.

All of this means that not only is is hard to have a crystal clear picture of exactly which units took part, but the units that did take part were of varying strengths rather than documented standard troop/equipment quantities, and those that took part kept getting re-assigned, were split apart and divided up between a number of battlegroups, or just plain moved around a lot.

So, in the end you've got to account for the physical limitations of the campaign map and the fact that there are only thirty-nine battlegroup places left to use; seems a lot, but like I say, with the mish-mash of german units that took part it gets messy. In the end, I had to compromise more than I would like, and this is the list (which a few people are bound to disagree with):

(39)
9th SS Panzer Division - Hohenstaufen [SS-Kampfgruppe "Hohenstauffen"]
10th S.S. Panzer Division - Frundsberg [SS-Kampfgruppe "Frundsberg"]
9 S.S. Aufklarung Abteilung (Ersatz Abteilung Bocholt)
S.S. Schule Arnheim
Kampfgruppe "Knoche"
Regiment 42 Sicherheit
Hermann Göering Schule Regiment
Sperrverband Harzer (Gerhard)
Kampfgruppe "Krafft"
Kampfgruppe "Knaust"
10th SS Recon Battalion "Brinkmann"
346th Infanterie Division
711th Static Division
719th Coastal Division
59th Infanterie Division
245th Infanterie Division
712th Infanterie Division
3rd Fallschirmjäger Division
5th Fallschirmjäger Division
Kampfgruppe "Greschick"
180th Infanterie Division
190th Infanterie Division
Division Nr. 176
6th Parachute Regiment
107th Panzer Brigade
S.S. Wach Bataillon 3
Corps HQ "Feldt"
406th Landesschützen Division
Fallschirm-Jäger-Division Erdmann
84th Infanterie Division
89th Infanterie Division
Kampfgruppe "Chill"
272nd Volksgrenadier Division
326th Volksgrenadier Division
47th Volksgrenadier Division
353rd Infanterie Division
363rd Volksgrenadier Division
Sperrverband Son
Sperrverband Grave

The first problem with this list is that, as I said, some people may not be happy with these groupings, and I can't say they'd be wrong to complain. Because of the numerous re-assignments, some of these Kampfgruppes overlap at times, or were even absorbed into other Kampfgruppes. The second problem is that most are Divisional size, and the Force Pool maximum is 25 units. Compound that with the constant swapping and sharing of troops, and I'm worried that the German unit types are going to be a lot more generalised when my allied unit listings are all pretty specific (I even got away with divisional support units). Basically, I'm still not sure this is the best solution, but it's my working solve for the time being. If anyone would like to suggest different (remember - 39 BG spots left, and 25 unit limit for each BGs total FPool), I'm open.

Good Luck with your mod, looks nice so far, however if I may offer some advice:-

Looking at the Brit armoured BGs I notice you seem to have a lot of Cromwells around, by the time of Market Garden the Guards were operating in 'regt. groupings' as opposed to the more formal Bde groupings.
So there were Grenadier, Coldstream, Irish and Welsh BG within the Division each consisting of an Armoured battalion and a Infantry Battalion. Of these the first 3 were equipped with Sherman V tanks, plus the Recce Sqn of Stuarts, whilst the Welsh BG had mainly Cromwells, again with the addition of Stuarts in the Recce Sqn.
A point of conjecture is if the Welsh used the Challenger gun tank in the Cromwell Troops at this time or if they still retained the Sherman FF, sources are divided, so your dammed whichever you choose! Laughing

The 8th Armoured Bde was formed of 3 Armoured Regts. 4/7 Dragoon Guards, 13/18 Hussars and Sherwood Rangers, these similarly were equipped with the Sherman too at that time, with the usual Stuart in the Recce Sqns.

I hope this is of some help to you, and as I said in the first line Good Luck Smile

Cheers
Ronson

You have done a fantastic work!  Very Happy

If someone like me thats doing only "half-made" mods should have any opinion..just missing an area before Eindhoven with the breakthrough area for Horrocks, but i suppose the stratmap should be too stretcht then?

anyway..great work! Very Happy

To a realism nutcase like me, the quality of people CC attracts is both remarkable and satisfying.  Yes, ok, there are a few plonkers at the bottom end, but on the whole, they are relatively harmless.

That is impressive work Hoogley! A long labour of love and dedication, and kudos to you for sticking with it.  If I had the time to produce Maps for you, I would be sorely tempted, though I am going to need Maps myself sometime if my own endeavours ever come to light.  Come to think of it, apart from the improvements we would dearly love to see with the CC Engine, a 'Map generator' could be the single most powerful and useful utility to the CC Community as a way to help promote and speed up Mod developments.  The biggest hurdle being the issue of Map Coding I think, and I am not sure if there is any way around that.  Any genius's about?...

As a start...

There are a huge amount of WF style maps available now which can be used as place holders for any map you wish to include in a mod.


Pick 64 and you are on your way.....   re-paints can wait and/or be added as they become available.

Like I said over at CSO...very nice work and good luck!
Map making is the killer of mods...so you might want to consider Shreckie's tip.
Also check out Mafi's CC2Tool ...great for cutting/shrinking and flipping maps (incl. auto-coding).

You could also consider re-painting the old CCII maps with newer textures.
(I still can't find that fellas post who was doing it years ago,maybe it got lost in a CSO crash)

You could then use 5CC to easily change the elements from the old CCII to work on the newer versions of CC.

Not the same as having something new,but making maps suck and we have no one who is willing to create a map generator.
