This mod contains gloves, tactical goggles, face masks, and other details.

What is good about this mod is that those details are getting randomly mixed so that you can see those details in multiple variations.

One of my mods (very first one) “Mabuta-mk2 Varan camo” got its own skin folder. In order to use these skins you should delete that folder and put this mod into your “z” folder.

The reason why I’m posting this mod as a separate one is simple – while new Ukrainian Military mods will be coming out you will be able to have all of your soldiers equipped with these skins.

So basically its a universal thing – one mod what will work with all those mods what are already published and with those what are still in production.

Enjoy!

Go inside the Data folder and create a new folder ( if you haven’t yet) called “Z”. Because “Z” comes after the names of the standard game files (“Version XXX”) you are guaranteed that any mods you put into the “Z” folder will be loaded and used by Combat Mission.

Unzip and Drop “Aris US Weathered Faces” if you want just a dirt look or “Aris US Weathered and Wounded Faces” if you prefer your soldiers to have battle wounds, scars, stitches, etc… (and dirt, of course ).

Hope you like them,…

Aris,

This uniform mod is in honor of all the Nisei-Americans who fought for my country in WWII. You all know they had an extremely tough row to hoe just getting into battle to prove to the rest of the country that they were “worthy” of doing so, while there loved ones lost homes and businesses and put into internment camps. One from the 442nd was my neighbor about 35 years ago. Quiet, unassuming, and had a killer garden. Thank you for your service, Mr. Toki, and rest in peace.

There are two versions of Asian faces for the 100th Battalion and 442nd RCT. LongLeftFlank kindly informed me that the Asian faces used in his excellent PTO Mod were done by Coon Dog, who has been missing on the boards for a while. I was unable to contact him, but I hope he will be OK with me using his faces here. Coon Dog’s faces were done for CMBN, however, which doesn’t have “bump (or is it normal–I forget) mapping”. In CMFI, the mappings literally map the contours of the picture/texture bmp file, so eye sockets, cheekbones noses and other contours “reflect” the light better…or something like that. Anyhoo, putting a CMBN face texture on a CMFI face map causes funky-looking faces because the contoured map doesn’t line up with the facial features artwork.

So, I made two sets for you to choose from. “Asian Faces I” are CMFI faces with simple coloration changes so as to at least set them off from the more paler Caucasian faces in the game. “Asian Faces II” are LLF’s CMBN ones. Take your pick and put whichever one you prefer in the “Combat Mission/Fortress Italy/User Data” folder. You know, where you put all the other mods.

The uniforms were shaded/saturated/de-saturated etc., to get a little more variety. They are great right out of the box, but I just don’t like too much uniformity in uniforms! There are several helmet mixes too.

Not all the uniforms have patches. That makes for more variety and reflects new replacements, worn uniforms, etc. I did not bother to dirty-up the uniforms.

After downloading, pick the division folder you want, copy, and put it in the “Combat Mission/Fortress Italy/User Data” folder where you put all your other mods.

Armor, Paratroopers, and infantry (Rangers/regular infantry/glider infantry) all use separate uniform textures and maps, so you can one of each type in the mod folder at the same time.

Much thanks to good ‘ol Mord for his critique and general inspiration, and Coon Dog (in Abstentia) for the faces.

Cheers!

Go inside the Data folder and create a new folder ( if you haven’t yet) called “Z”. Because “Z” comes after the names of the standard game files (“Version XXX”) you are guaranteed that any mods you put into the “Z” folder will be loaded and used by Combat Mission.

Unzip and Drop “Italian Faces” in your Z folder. Have a look at the files and remove any that you don’t like. Remember to rename the files so that they are in sequential order if you decide to remove any file/files.

All 13 faces have been modified to remove that pristine robotical look that stock textures have. I added mud and dirt, tried to improve the original detail and color balance (stock faces looked like Peppa Pig to me), and eventually made two sets, one with just dirt and other with weathering plus scars, bandages, bruises, wounds, etc.
