WW2 Unit Graphics

[curtsibling]

BTW - I just finished the new update of D7 - I will post the new zips this weekend...!

Things are far more interesting, with the new unit stats...

Some WWII unit mods. They will probably amuse more than impress

L-R Top: US Flamethrower, US Early war Rifleman, Russian Rifleman, West African Rifleman

L-R Middle: Swiss Rifleman, Finnish Jaeger, Polish 10th Mechanized Brigade Trooper, Swedish Infantryman

L-R Bottom: Czech Infantryman, Slovakian Infantryman, Moroccan Infantryman, Turkish Infantryman

Pretty cool (I take it they're for the Rise of the Dictators scenario, or did you just make them because you wanted to? Or both? )

I especially like the Polish Mechanized Brigade one.

I made them mainly to fill the gaps in the MGE compilations I am getting together. Most of them are very minor mods involving swapping headgear and adding a couple of badges.

The Polish Black Brigade are an interesting one. They wore a black leather trench coat and a WWI style German helmet. I gave him a SMG (meant to be the 9mm Mors) which was starting to be supplied in limited numbers by 1939.

I would like to have included more nations and more units in Rise of the Dictators but unfortunately limited space means that I cannot include all of these creations.

Here's a revised WWII British rifleman.

Something I worked on a little bit yesterday ... WW2 "infantry squad"-type graphics. I'd say they're something between the "army" squads of Dictator 6 and your average, one soldier-per-unit graphic.

And I'm sorry the Waffen SS unit didn't have an MG. I couldn't find a SS guy holding a gun at waist level, and while I know the SS had a reputation for being hardcore, firing an MG-42 like you would a rifle would be a bit much...

Nicely put together!

Some M3/M5 halftracks!

Nice mods! I am still trying to put together those compilations for the Scenario League when I get the spare time. It is almost an overwhelming task but I have now started putting all the units I can find onto giant bitmap images according to eras. After that the task of moving them around into a logical order should be much easier. Just thought I would mention this project was still trundling forward as there are still so many quality units and mods coming out

Looking good! It would be very cool to use these for, say, a Market Garden or Battle of the Bulge scenario.

Have any of you some units more in these categories:

-Ships
-Italian, French, and minor countries' vehicles and aircraft
-Transport trucks

Thank you.

I know this isn't strictly a historical World War 2 unit, but anyone here willing to modify an AT-AT into an Axis Mammoth Walker? Its probably somewhat smaller than an Imperial Walker, and it appears to have a larger "head" construction compared to its body. It might make for one of the most... erh.. fantastical World War 2 units ever.
