COMBAT MISSION
British Uniforms - Airborne Units
What is contained on this site are simple modifications. To use them, simply save the files you find on this site into the BMP file on your hard drive (Look under Program Files, then the CMBO folder, then the BMP folder). The originals can either be saved elsewhere on your hard drive as a backup, or retrieved from the Combat Mission CD if you want to change back to the original artwork.
To save the files, left click on the image. Actual bitmap files are clearer than the .jpg representations given below. The names (numbers) of the Combat Mission files that these are meant to replace are given above the images. The file name used by Combat Mission consists of only three or four digits.
Uniforms
| British
Uniform - Blanco No. 3 (Files 5051, 5054 and 5013) Based on badinfo's Blanco mod |
  |
British web gear was treated with a compound called "Blanco" which helped preserve the web and keep it clean. Blanco came in different colours; for the field the web gear was often treated with Blanco No. 3 which gave it a darker colour and better camouflage properties. The paratrooper model in the game uses the same pants and footgear as standard infantry. |
Battle Dress
For those so inclined, they can convert their battledress wearing troops to paratroopers also - or, by replacing the files for the Denison Smock, can change all their paras to battledress and also get a maroon beret into the bargain! Bear in mind that all vehicle crews will have the same sleeve insignia. If using the following bitmaps to replace the standard infantry battledress, use 5011 and 5012; the standard helmet and weapons will be retained. This will also change the sleeves of any vehicle crews in British uniform.
To change the actual paratrooper icon, replace files 5051 and 5054 as shown below, and don't forget to swap file 5054 for the one shown below. This means none of the paratroopers in the game will now appear in the Denison smock, however, they will wear the maroon beret and carry the Airborne Mk V Sten gun (if so armed). Armour and vehicle crews will retain "plain" battle dress (though jeep drivers purchased as "British Airborne" will still wear the insignia shown below).
Sleeve insignia should be swapped for either file 5012 (standard infantry) or 5052 (airborne infantry).
