Thank you for downloading these Luftwaffe infantry uniforms textures for Combat Mission: Beyond Normandy and expansions.

What is this?  Aside from the obvious, it's basically a hack of the feldblau Luftwaffe fliegerbluse over the M43 uniform used by most of the stock infantry in CMBN.  The M43 lapels are actually modeled onto each soldier figure rather than textured, but I did the best I could to make it look passable.  The red collar tabs indicate artillery, so these are most likely soldiers stripped from flak units to serve as front line combat troops.

To install, place the "QS-LW-inf uniforms" folder in the "z" folder inside the "Data" folder in your CMBN directory.

Since this is a preliminary release these textures are offered AS IS, with no guarantees of any kind, except the guarantee sthat they're imperfect.  I made them strictly for my own enjoyment, but I thought others might enjoy them too, so here they are.

I have no need of fame or credit for this package, particularly since everything you'll find is built upon the work of others -- my most essential resource being the stock CMBN uniform textures.  In fact, if you're the kind of person who can build upon what I've done and make it better, I encourage you to do so.  For example, I have yet to finish a satisfactory set of normal maps for these uniforms (the three I included here are rudimentary, and intended only to supersede the stock normals, which look very strange with the new textures), so if that's your cup of tea, knock yourself out.  I'm not asking for help, and if no one is interested in doing it, I'll get around to it eventually myself, so don't feel like you have to bother.  I just want anyone who wants to give it a try to feel free, because you're not stepping on any toes here.

A note on helmets: I included a few, mostly just reshaded stock LW helmets, but I use a whole bunch of different ones.  If you search, you can find many excellent luftwaffe helmet texture mods made by other people over the years for CMBN from it's earliest days.  Many of these look great, and I encourage you to try them.

Have fun!
