Yes, I need to take another crack at that conversion. Not many mods left to port.
I have updated page 1 with a list of Grand Campaigns' which are complete, and I have been researching GC's made for the mods you ported and any others that may be around.
No word on Indo.

Allies III Mod
Guillhaume made the Allies III Mod and it had some interesting Campaigns.
from the ALLIES III readme
Version III of the Allies submod differs from version II with the addition of some new teams, and
a few new sounds, too. And changes in the names of the German teams. All the indirect fire weapons
were removed. I make so much minor alterations that now i don't remember anymore. For example: the
German tactical organization don't had a light mortar section in the rifle company level, like the
Americans. The 5 cm mortar were held by the platoons. Another changes was in the rarity of units.
I try to make the campaigns more challenging even if you play like German or Allies. I think that
is one of the more difficult tasks. If only we had CC 2 AI with CC 3 structure... (and i don't
believe that CC 5 make this...)
All the credit must go to the original creators. How does Maxwell Smart say it? I used the "old
trick" of copy and paste. Thus, I grabbed one sound from Felix Steiner's Sound.sfx, a few graphics
from the 1940 France Mod and CS Mod, etc., etc.
This submod includes seven campaigns: BARBAROSSA, showing the Battle of Arnhem; STEMMING THE TIDE,
with the British fighting from the D-Day to a what-if conquest of Berlin; (with the special
permission from Sabot and Cathartes); NAPOLEON'S FOOTSTEPS, with the French-American campaign from
the south of France to the Rhine; HAMMER AND ANVIL with the Yankees (and Southerners) from the
Omaha to a what-if conquest of Berlin; ENEMY AT THE GATES, showing the antipartisan
warfare in the south of France; ACHTUNG PANZER!, showing a copy of the CC5 campaign in the Cotentin
and REICH ON THE ROCKS, with a hypothetical German victory in the Ardennes and a ulterior
reconquest of France (only a Hammer and Anvil reverse...)
Includes, too, 98 Battles and Operations.
I made four RU Teams, a French, British, a US and Allies (default). Maybe you will wish to play
the Napoleon's Footsteps with the French RU Teams, but if you want to play it with the British
RU Teams, don't be afraid of that, i don't will knock on your door some day to throttle you for
this.
I wish to thank Zonbie. Without him, this mod never would be released. In truth, this guy loves
very much the CC community. Since I haven't got ICQ, I sent all these archives by email to him
-- true torture. Thanks to Cathartes and Sabot for the permission to use the Commonwealth
Summer Mod's ops. These guys are true comrades.
By the way, I hope that English errors inside the game don't bother anyone. Shakespeare's language
is not mine. My thanks also to the Sgm Smith, Comrade Blabski, GS_Marcks and all the CC community
for their advice.
Guillhaume, a humble fan of CC 3.
Sub-mods for Allies III
1) FR Allies - This subplugin change the default yankee (and southerners)
forces into Free French forces and show two campaigns with them. One showing
the french-american advance from the south of France to the Rhine
(NAPOLEON'S
FOOTSTEPS) and another showing the German antipartisan war against the
Maquis (ENEMY AT THE GATES).
2) UK Allies - This subplugin change the default to British/Canadian forces
(what a
pitty that none Anzacs fought in Northwest Europe...). This have two
campaigns: one showing the Commonwealth advance from Juno Beach to a
hipothetical conquest of Berlin (STEMMING THE TIDE). Another shows the
Battle of Arnhem (BARBAROSSA!)
3) German Civil War - Well, this is hipothetical civil war in Germany
between
the Nazi Waffen-SS and the German Army in sequence of the Plot of July,
1944.
This have only one campaign (LAST HURRAH).

since WF SS was made with the older version of WF I didn't know if you need to tweek it?
I look forward to having those. Like to be able to play the four RR SS Grand Campaigns; Leibstandarte 1st, Das Reich 2nd, Totenkopf 3rd and the Wiking 5th Divisions.

Two more CC3 mods added to the "Mods Not Converted List"
Frontline 1.2
CC3 Frontline by Hohenstaufen is the full Real Red v0822 with Iron Cross and Real Elite files. The units names are in German and Russian and will also show you which units that are SS or Gds when you play (not only in the requisition room).

Hia Guys,
Brake thanks for contacting me, been a while ;)
I have a lot of the original mods, most still on the disks they were sent to me on or filed away! Have been ill for some time! Still have numerous databases from the old sites, forums etc.
I will go through the lists in the next day or so! Who is still around and not gone over to the dark side? [Matrix!] Any signs of Mick [Xe5] or Mafi, Atilla, Cpl Filth?

I've made a partial conversion and fairly major upgrade of CC3 GCE (Spanish Civil War) mod into COI, but stalled over a few technical issues / lack of time to learn stuff which others perhaps have worked out how to do.
Vehicle & gun shadows... need doing
Winter uniforms - tried to port these from CC3, followed the instructions to the letter, tried & tried but only managed to achieve psychedelic colours
Could do with some new maps, I had loads of ideas for historical scenarios & there is of course a lot more material available now for those with the desire and ability to recreate SCW battlefields from aerial views.
I am thinking about restarting this at some point. If anyone can help in these 3 areas then pm me.
