Download : https://sites.google.com/site/bbcbaamaris/

New on version 4 :

- New scenario : Riva-Bella (see bellow).

- Improved Mission info panel for all scenario.
- Adds transparency to Introductive pictures.

Notes:

- Somes 'news' units (Free French Forces): French Commando is a British Para with new texture, French Infantry is an US ranger, French Mortar is a British Mortar, French Bren is a British Bren, French Piat is a British Piat, French Flamethrower is a British Flamethrower and French Jeep is the Tim's long range desert jeep.

- New object: US Landing Craft Infantry.

- Morale system: Captain Kieffer has the ability to boost the morale of nearby units at the beginning of each round.

- AI random placements for better replayability.

- It is a difficult mission to complete the campaign, some achievements are very hard.

Comments, feedbacks and suggestions are welcome ;-)

- LCI is very big (many polygons...) This can cause problems on small configurations :?:

- After gather feedbacks, and possible fixes, the campaigns will be ok for user content.

I found this very tough - being mostly infantry its hard to move without attracting fire. I felt I had to move quick and therefore my poor bl**dy infantry paid the price. The map itseld looks amazing - great job and I love the look of the French Commandoes. 8)

I've tried this map a few times and always have major slowdown, to such an extent I give up after a few clicks. I assume it's the LCI objects. Anybody know any workarounds?

Cheers

LCI? I can take a look at the map and work out what the slowdown is if needed.

Cheers

Open it in the editor and remove the LCI's. (Try not to look at the German positions :D !)

Indeed this is probably the LCIs: their 3D model is large...

Try this light version without LCIs.

That's great Amaris - Thanks. My men can now run up that beach at top speed ... just need to figure out how to stop them getting shot :wink:
