Kitbashing USMC out of US Rangers and other Bits?

Hi all,

I have an extensive force of US Rangers and US Winter infantry.

I have a box of Rangers spare from a mystery box.

I was thinking of using them to kitbash some USMC. I u drrstand that the USMC kit is quite old.

The Rangers are wearing Parsons jackets and HBT trousers, but the majority of the jacket / shirt is covered by webbing and it seems the Parsons jacket painted green would work as a marine shirt.

I am thinking king of using the helmet-cover heads from the winter us infantry, Rangers bodies, and then a mixture of arms from across various kit but also leaning on the German Grenadier sets to try and get some rilled up sleeve arms. British 8th arms may also be better but I do not have any of these.

How does this sound? Has anyone tried something similar?

I want to basically make approx 24 men that look visually distinctly to just more US army or Rangers.

Hello, I am quite experienced with using the MoW1 and AS2 editor to make missions for my friend and I to play online together.

I have tried making a message for CTA:GoH but I am experiencing the following issue.

I create a mission in the same way I would do for AS2, setting player as player 0, placing units for player 1 (enemy) and player 2) ally. I save the mission.

I save the mission in a new subfolder of single like this which is the wya it always worked fine in AS2

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call to Arms - Gates of Hell\resource\map\single\09-mike-van\01-theline

The mission file is a 0.mi file

I send my friend the resource/map files as I would do with AS2. He creates the required folders and puts them in the right locations.

We can both launch the mission in singleplayer.

I try creating either an online skirmish or online multiplayer server and I select the mission, he can laod into the lobby but our names show as read and whilst he can ready I cannot start the mission.

The mission shows 2 extra player slots.

I am assuming it is something to do with these unoccupied slots. I cannot remove them. Closing the slots does not help.

Any tips on how to fix this?

Also, for what I am trying to do (Play a co-op mission), should I be selecting an online skirmish or online game

Still a few details to finish up and they are missing their accessories and helmet straps etc but how do these look.
