Industrial Unit Graphics

[GhostOfDisco]

Looking at our_man's "How Few Remain," I decided to revise (again) his Canadian Mountie:

And here's some more HFR units (Northerners based on 1880's guys)...

Very nice mods GhostOfDisco.

Nice MGE conversions there!

Playing How Few Remain the other day, I thought it was bland that once you got the Maxim guns, you no longer needed your flavorful infantry units for garrison and defense. So, I thought, "what if the scenario had a different Maxim unit for each civ? There's certainly enough unit slots." I'd modify the scenario if I know our_man was OK with it, but anyhow here's the MGs plus an industrial-era Mexican soldier (from one of curt or typhoon's units a long time ago

Great Mountie unit Ghost of Disco, one thing though, your N.W.M.P. should either have a pillbox hat, or a pith helmet.

Well, I was just using our_man's original graphics set as a reference, but since you point out historical points, what about this guy?

Now that's a proper NWMP. Great work!

So in the Inds Thread

IMPERIALISM 1870 v4.0 Unitsupdate, two by me

Two new Steamer and the Steam Warship

Here is the units list for 1870 I put together for a ToT version...
Includes units up to 1939 level...

While working on a graphics update for Blood and Steel v2 (no ToT update, sadly ... my attempts at converting scenarios from MGE to that version always seem to end in failure ), I made up these Pancho Villa-era units:

Nice units GoD!

Would it be possible for people not to post bitmaps directly into the threads but include them in a zip or rar file and post png previews instead?

The reason I ask is that it makes the pages load up really slowly for people with slower (dialup etc...) connections. I have never had any problems personally but Catfish pointed it out to me at CFC. He has posted there about a way to convert bitmaps into png files without any loss of quality which would eliminate the need for a zipped file. I'm sure if you asked him he would be happy to explain how or refer you to the posts where he has already explained it.

This is just a suggestion not a rule

Well, I don't have the time right now to convert this BMP, but here's the 1880s US infantryman with all his gear:

Here's a WWI American infantryman from Harry Turtledove's "How Few Remain" timeline.

Admittedly, I've never read the books, but according to Wikipedia the US uniforms of the time were much like the Germans', only green-grey instead of feldgrau (I think), so I used the 1914 German uniform as a reference. The white stripe on the pants is based on the US Army's 19th century (and maybe later) practice of giving a white stripe to the infantry, yellow to the cavalry and red to the artillery.

Due to the considerations McMonkey brought up, the BMP file has been zipped.

And here's some Imperial/Conservative Mexican forces from the 1860s Mexican civil war/French invasion:
