COMBAT MISSION
British Uniforms - Northwest Europe and Italy
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.

In response to some winter uniforms added for the other nationalities on other websites, here is the standard British cold weather gear - the brown leather jerkin. Save the large file as 5011 and the small one as 5014. The sleeve with the gloves is file 5012. |
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 Battle Jerkin was designed in response to complaints about the standard 1937 Pattern Web Equipment, and while it did not see widespread issue, it was worn in limited numbers by some assault troops on D-Day and shortly thereafter. The garment was not popular, being hot to wear, and they were not commonly seen at all by the end of June 1944. |

Insignia
|
While some of the infantrymen modelled in Combat Mission have distinctive sleeve insignia (German Mountain Troops, Volksturm, and American Paratroopers), British soldiers do not. Anyone wishing to remedy this can do so with the artwork provided below. I have designed a .bmp to replace file 5012 in the BMP folder in the Combat Mission program files. Simply download the desired file and save it as file 5012. Unfortunately, only one file can be saved in this folder at a time, and all units in the game represented by the infantryman icon will have this insignia. This file is also used for the sleeves for the tank commanders, etc. For that reason I've also included generic division bmps for those who don't want to be too unit-specific. If you are interested in more than one file its recommended that you download them to a seperate folder and don't change the name of the file until you swap it with the 5012 file in the Combat Mission bitmap folder. |
