I bought the GOG version of CMBB (I'm a new comer to the Combat Mission games) and one of the first thing I tried to do was to find some mods to improve a lttle the graphic aspect of this game - not for "eye candy" alone, but also for "clearness" reasons.
To keep this post short, here are some suggestions for new comers like me.
Were to find mods for CMBB:
Wargame Scenario Depot on archive.org
The download list of mods
Now, there are TONS of mods and sorting and exploring through them requires time.
So, I post a minimal list of MODS that I have inserted in my CMBB and that made the game substantially better for me (I was interested to get a "clearer" visual apparence of the battlefield, above all else:
---
MIKEYD_RUBBLE.zip
EDS_TREES.zip
CW_GRID_GRASS_HR.zip
CW_GRID_STEPPE_HR.zip
CW_GRID_DEEPSNOW_HR.zip
CW_GRID_LIGHTSNOW_HR.zip
TARKUS_DARK_STEEL.zip
UD_SKY_MOD_HI_RES_OVERCAST_DARK.zip
UD_SKY_MOD_HI_RES_OVERCAST.zip
UD_SKY_MOD_HI_RES_DAWN.zip
UD_SKY_MOD_HI_RES_CLEAR_DAY.zip
---
So this list only changes the skybox, the UI of the game, the terrain rendition adding a "grid" style (very useful to perceive the terrain elvation), nicer trees in the game and nicer "building rubble" with a more 3D-feel to it.
I have not (yet) touched anything else, the aim of this small mod list is to help newcomers to CMBB like myself to get a better experience relatively quickly without a big time investments.
Hope it helps.
