France '40 - Fall Gelb Mod

Post by J_Irons »

Hi generals,

Here we are at the second upgrade of Fall Gelb MOD, ready for France40_Update_403.

There are many graphical changes and many content changes in the scenario #0510_01B_Fall_Gelb_MOD

https://www.mediafire.com/file/n4j8wq10 ... 2.rar/file


I’ll try to summarize:

Content Changes

ZbV 100 - historical placement with Rothem (north – east suburb of Maastricht) and not Rotem as objective (vanilla). Snell, snell… los los!!!
Panzer Divisionen - Added commander names for all the HQ (Brigade / Regiment)
Panzer Divisionen – Added missing Kradschützen kompanie
Panzer Divisionen – Added missing Aufklärung kompanie
Panzer Divisionen – Historical number of tanks
Infanterie Divisionen (mot) - Added commander names for all the HQ (Brigade / Regiment)
FJR - Added commander names for all the HQ
SS Divisionen - Added commander names for all the HQ (Brigade / Regiment) and insignia of the regiments
Shützen Rgt. (Panzer Divisionen) – Added pioneer zug (1/3 of a Kompanie size) as in real life. I understand simplification in the game, but I’m afraid this historical unit can’t be avoided for the game mechanics.
Panzer Rgt. 1 – Added all the units that historically belonged to this unit but it’s not possible to do the same with the other Panzer - Rgt. to avoid tons of new counters to manage.
Shützen Rgt. SS-DF / SS-G / SS-D / SS-LAH / SS-T – Added pioneer zug (1/3 of a Kompanie size) and Light SS-Armoured Car zug as in real life.
SS-T Division – Added 3./Aufkl.Abt. SS-T with Pz 35(t) as in real life.
5. Panzer-Division - historical placement of the Vorausabteilung with IR 190 (62.Infanterie-Division) as a right wing as in real life.
5. Panzer-Division - NbW Abt. 5 + II./AR 48 unterstellt
7. Panzer-Division - historical placement of the Vorausabteilung (unfortunately there are no secondary roads on the map to make historical movement to the division… The division didn’t pass thought S.Vith, this was the 5.Pz sector and objective!)
7. Panzer-Division – Pz.Abt. 66 under Pz.Rgt. 25
7. Panzer-Division - I./Fl.Rgt. 13 unterstellt
7. Panzer-Division – Added Krad. Abt. 7 (the Rommel’s use of K7 created the concept of blitzkrieg)
1. Panzer-Division - 1./Pzjr 8 unterstellt
4. Panzer-Division - historical placement of the Vorausabteilung (Gruppe Breith – Right wing / Gruppe Boineburg – center / Gruppe Eberbach – left wing)
269.Infanterie-Division - historical placement
251.Infanterie-Division - historical placement (correction of Rgt. number IR 459, NOT IR 449)
35.Infanterie-Division - historical placement (IR 34 – right wing / IR 111 – left wing / IR 109 – reserve)
31.Infanterie-Division - historical placement
256.Infanterie-Division - Rail mode HQ IR 481 + 13./IR 481 as IRL (not only III./IR 481)
56.Infanterie-Division - historical placement
34.Infanterie-Division - historical placement (Vorausabteilung A – Former Saarburg / Vorausabteilung B – Former Bitburg / Vorausabteilung AA34 – Hellermann in the right position)
76.Infanterie-Division - historical placement
1.Kavallerie-Division - historical placement
IR 900 Fixed (in reserve) as IRL – activated on May 11 / hours 4:00 as Staff Kleist (Historically did something only after June 15)
Koch’s FJRs – monstrously increased the value of defence, they are to be there
Bridges – some bridges are not wired anymore as IRL (Veldwezelt / Vroenhoven / …)

Sound changes
Axis theme


Graphic changes

All the units are reworked starting from the Jison base mods (Thank you Jison) and adjusted with my addons / corrections.
Map - 2DFeaturesXXX changed
Map - 2DHexSidesXXX changed
Map - 2DSymbolsXXX changed
Counters – added a little flag

I hope you like it and if you have any suggestion, let me know

T(h)anks in advance

Thank you for this, the extra unit art with the StrauB artwork which appears to be missing in the vanilla game.
Also the 2D200 artwork and variant campaign scenario is most welcome.

New Update compatible with France'40 v.403!

...I'm starting a new campaign and I think that the Engineers zug added in the Shützen Rgt.s as in real life will make the difference! ! 👍

cheers

Hi Erick,

I'm sorry for the error you find.

Did you copy correctly all the files in the MOD folder (included the OOB file)?

What makes me think about a not correct copy is that the "BlankboxV" (the image where is written "Rise and decline if the ...") is not the one of my MOD.

Try another copy and paste and let me know! 🤞
