What happened to your helicopter-borne equine commando antics? Did you get demoted?

I got transfered in Epirus to "accomodate urgent needs of the service". To my anger i found there were no needs of personel at the Epirus militia, quite on the contrary.

I think i simply got transfered to empty an officer slot of the battalion for one colleague "more favorably disposed to the service".

**** them and their corrupted army i say. I'll join the Navy seals afterwards anyway.

I have to admit the greek army is one of its kind. I have served as an armsmith, recruiter, drill instructor, company commander and platoon leader, materials administrator with absolutely no training for any of the above mentioned MOS(platoon leader aside). And i still present myself as "2nd lieutenant of infantry". Quite inappropiate for one who finished at the top 10% of his class in the reserve infantry officers school...

Don't post those nasty old graphics when you ge back home Pericles - I'm ashamed of them now

One of the more reason to post them LOL!


BTW jim pansy's gfx look stunning

[Palaiologos]

jim panse's gfx.

Palaiologos: i know that the greek army is similar in organisation to that of the austrian-hungary empire in its final days, but i think that you are making things up

and joining the "navy seals" (sic) ? I thought that only mentally ill people serve in those regiments

[jim panse]

Thanks for the flowers

And yes, I am with Varwnos when it cometh to join the military then

No dude i am not. The huge manpower shortage in the Greek army(nowadays a battalion is considered at full strengh at 120-150 men) is responsible for many peculiarities.

and joining the "navy seals" (sic) ? I thought that only mentally ill people serve in those regiments

Your point being?

[Palaiologos]

Btw i am really sorry about the postings. Its a gfx thread. I just got carried away.

[Arthedain]

Anyone up for making this into a unit (ship with black sails), I guess bebros ship could come in handy as bases or inspiration. I'm too lousy in making ships, that's why I'm asking.

[curtsibling]

Looks like a raiding ship from Umbar, if my eyes are not decieved!

Carried away by the military police?

[Palaiologos]

Pah! Although the MPs apprehended me twice i've on both occasions managed to talk my way out.

You're right Curt. I just hope someone with some skills could go ahead and make it.

NOTE: This png is a preview only - download the zip below for the useable units. I haven't bothered stripping the alpha channel with pngout so if you're using Internet Explorer and you right-click and save the preview, they'll appear much too dark.

[fairline]

Here are the useable units:

[Cyrion]

Magnificent, Gareth!

I don't know why, but I'm always happy when I load the forum and I notice you've been posting in the Ancient/Pre-Steam Unit Graphics thread!

[Eivind IV]

Just a question for future referance; if I download the png file with Opera, do I still have to download the bnp version?

Spectacular units btw!

[Broken_Erika]

(Jaw drops off splitting the table in half and breaking a hole in the floor) x90000

[Harry Tuttle]

Cool! Will download when I get home.

[jim panse]

This is mighty awesome, Gareth! Thank you for sharing

[Exile]

Gareth, you don't suppose I could get the MGE versions of those?

[fairline]

Thanks guys

@ Phenix: will do

@ Eivind: I think Opera, Mozilla etc recognise the png format's use of an alpha transparency channel but good old Microsh1te still haven't bothered. if you use IE a png file will appear 10-12% darker onscreen and also be saved as a darker version. You can check by right-clicking and saving the png, and then check the magenta/pink unit background colour. It should be R:255, G:0, B:255 and hue 212, sat 255, light 128 if it's saved correctly.

[Art of War]

I need some American Revolution units..anyone have any?

[Sarsstock]

Well correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the cache of Napoleonic units Gareth just recently posted can be easily modified where needed to fit the period of the American Revolution.

I'd be glad to lend a hand for such an endeavor.

[Eivind IV]

Unless you're die hard about Fairline units, there are many useable units in the old showcase. Even on the first page there are many nice ones (check out soundwave's post for instance):
