Industrial Unit Graphics

[McMonkey]

Good to hear you are working on a scenario Nilat. I will hunt down some Finnish units. I know Fairline made a good train recently. Is this project for MGE or ToT?

Also, will you be starting a creation thread? The reason I ask is that I am interested in this period of history and would like to hear what you have in mind! I like the more obscure conflicts, WWII and Imperial Rome are so overdone (says the Guy making Fortress Europe and Aeterna Civitas!!!).

I've looked at quite a few WW2 Finnish units. Their uniforms/weaponry is too modern for the period (hence I am posting on the industrial thread). Multi units would be very cool too (I like them). I'm making it on MGE, as it will be a PBEM scenario. The train in El Aurens is more than suitable for my needs.

I have finished the map (including the terrain), but I have yet to place all the cities and towns. I have a personal rule that I don't post the scenario thread until I've posted the cities (ending of the extremely boring part, which ensures that I won't abandon the project). Besides, I'm going to Croatia tomorrow. I'll post it in January. I have some pretty interesting touches in mind, since the Finnish Civil War differs from conventional wars.

Glad this is MGE and Multiplayer, put me down for a faction! I will have a go at making some Finnish multi units suitable for he era when I get a bit of spare time. Funny how different people enjoy different parts of the creation process. For me placing the cities is the best bit, testing is the bore for me!

Some Polish soldiers from the 1919-21 Soviet invasion...

I'd like to do some Wielpolska (sp?) soldiers, but I don't know how to put capes on these model soldiers. Anyone know how to?

And a GIF of FW/MGE-compatible graphics, if you want to do a scenario of said war in that format.

Alright, here I have some of my cut and paste Confederate Marines. Now from what I've read about the CSMC...and there seems to be quite a few conflicting reports out there...they wore a French styled Kepis with a black top, black collars and cuffs, the long Frock coats, and white pants for summer dress, and a dark blue pant for winter dress(this is only the uniform of the non-commissioned member), officers wore a slightly different variation. As per a unit crest, I was unable to find any reference to one, other then a stylized M.

Has anyone around some pre-American Civil War Signal Corps/General units?

Preferrably from the UK, US, Mexico & Spain?

[GhostOfDisco]

Might be able to whip some up ... reference pics, though, would be very much preferred

(Though I've made a Touissant L'Overture unit in the pre-industrial thread ... not my best work, and one I've thought redoing, but still...)

Old rehashes for ToT, and a couple of new'uns:

As always - amazing!

Good old Sopwith Camel!

Love the bullet!

Well, I know I've given thought of someday making a European-scale WWI scenario (though, with Sobieski and 2013 still in the works, I've got work to do right now), and those planes would be great in it!

I once started making a western front scenario, still got the files. I had made trenches using the fortress square that made the infantry look like they were in the trenches. In the end I decided that an accurate recreation was beyond me at that time and I shelved the idea.

I also had a play around trying to make a WWI game using my well used European map but decided the western front was too small. Would love to see someone make a good WWI scenario but I don't think that conflict is well suited to the CivII engine.

Perhaps someone will prove me wrong one day but I think WWII with its fast moving battles is much better suited to Civ!

Attached is a mock up of what I had done. The trenches were basically fortresses and when units occupied them they appeared to be in the trenches. When these trenches were placed on a muddy map with lots of barbed wire, ruined villages and shell holes they looked really cool.
