 Commonwealth Summer v8.4 | Cathartes' Commonwealth Summer Mod version 8.4. INTRODUCTION
The motivation behind Commonwealth Summer grew from my love of the CC3 WF Mod, and a wish for more action involving the Canadian, British, and Polish forces in Normandy in 1944. I have always been fascinated with the Normandy Campaign—the tactical successes and failures that occurred on both sides of the hedgerows. The Germans not only lost the opportunity to possibly drive part, if not all, of the Allied forces back into the English Channel soon after D Day, but Montgomery also made decisions and declarations during and after the stalemate around Caen which will forever generate debate.
It was the British and Canadians that bore the brunt of Germany’s elite Panzer Divisions during the Normandy Campaign. In the 60 days that followed the invasion, the region surrounding the Norman city of Caen was host to some of the most bitter and intensive small unit actions of the entire campaign.
By focusing on the Normandy Campaign, there is the potential to limit availability of units within a narrow timeframe, and consequently play historically accurate operations/campaigns and scenarios with Canadian, British, or Polish units exclusively. I encourage anyone to create new grand campaigns that focus on British and/or Polish units. The campaign included with this release, “Normandy Campaign” is designed for Canadian forces only. The campaign on the German side focuses principally on the 12. SS.
PHILOSOPHY
Commonwealth Summer (CS) has been designed to bring out the feel of fighting in the hedgerows. Some of the differences in tank capabilities between the Germans and Allies will be smoothed out in the close quarters of the hedges and the city streets of Caen, Falaise, etc. The fancy, powerful stuff you remember from WF will be either unavailable, extremely limited, or too expensive to buy in most cases (if you play the camp and ops). This is middle-class fighting in the hedgerows—mostly Shermans 75s vs. Mark IVs, Enfields, Stens and Brens vs. Mausers and MP40s. We have attempted to construct infantry sections (especially for Commonwealth forces) to match their historical counterparts in size and weapons. You will not see an abundance or variety of heavy weapons in Commonwealth infantry sections because this was historically the case. Where the Germans have an edge in infantry weapons or tanks, the Commonwealth forces more than make up for in artillery, air, and naval support

 Der Ost Front | ArmeeGruppeSud's rework of the Eastern Front DER OST FRONT version2 Der Ost Front was developed using Real Red as a starting point.
Many areas of DOF are moderations to the changes that Real Red made to cc3. For example, Tanks get "tracked" less often than in RR but more often than standard cc3.
Similarly the effectiveness of "HE" ammunition is in between that of Real Red and original cc3. There are new graphics added, some from PJ2, Englander, WF and others.
DOF has an balanced mix of historical accurracy and playability. | DOF mappack |

Grossdeutschland mod 2.0 for Cross of Iron By Dreaded88
INTRODUCTION
This mod modifies "Cross of Iron" to allow you to fight the campaign on the Eastern Front as a single unit, the infamous Grossdeutschland. Lead your Battle Group starting as a Regiment in the Barbarossa invasion of 1941, to the bitter end (as a Panzer Korps) in East Prussia. Designed specically for play against the computer, several changes were made to make the AI a more challenging opponent. It should be noted, these changes do not involve modifying the effectiveness of weapons or thickness of armor - All values are set to the greatest accuracy possible for both sides. The Soviets, however, have overwhelming numerical superiority and can easily replace losses while you need to be much more careful about ensuring most (if not all) of your troops survive each battle | GD2 mappack |
