Thanks
I have never seen your scenario before, am having a nose through the read me and rules file and pillaging a few events! The map I already have covers South Vietnam only and is a bit bigger. The one I plan to make will be huge.
I really like the US Marine unit below. It is exactly what I am trying to find, the body armour and band on the helmet are cool authentic touches. Who is Vodkakov? Have not seen the name, does he still post?

US Marine in post below!

Git some!

Vodkakov has posted for over a year, at least. I dearly miss him; he was a driving force behind this Vietnam scenario.

I need some help. A few years ago I began building a Vietnam war scenario. I thought I had some good (new) ideas but eventually I ran out of steam.
At the moment I am quite busy building a Rome scn but I like to have a few other little projects on the side to keep the creative juices flowing! My intention is to go back to the Vietnam scenario soonish and finish it off on a much bigger map, with more up to date units and with the experience I now have
What I need are some good up to date infantry graphics. Aircraft and vehicles are pretty much covered already but Vietnam era Infantry is a bit thin on the ground. I have included some of the original units I was using (top row) and some examples of the type of thing I am looking for on the bottom row.
I don't want freshly pressed fatugues. What I realy need are units that look combat worn, NVA covered in jungle camo, US marines with ear necklaces and black pygama clad Cong! Also I love Fairlines Mortar, if someone could make US and NVA mods that would be soupey!

As I said there is no rush at all here, not going to start for a month or two but it doesn't hurt to get a head start.

Thanks.

I have included a link to a thread on that other site that explains a bit about the scenario concept if anyone is interested. Link: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=200159

May even make it on ToT as I have to start map again anyway!

Just so ya know the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th were my mods of some of nemo's units. All except the 4th one in the black PJ's that was my original unit. I also made the 2nd Huey also. I used the first UH-1 as the model but don't remember who made that one. Just needed to toot my own horn a bit I guess. It all doesn't matter if you are not using them.

Hi Jimmy. It's been a while since you made some units. Anything on the go?

[Jimmywax]

Plenty of ideas, just no ambition. I spendso much time on a computer for work that I don't have the desire anymore to spend sleepless nights hunched over my keyboard just because a pixel on the wingtip looks out of place. I have been meaning to play your WoC though. I had to track down another copy of ToT since mine vanished under questionable circumstances a while back.
Hopefully I will get a new job soon with the railroad and then I will have time at home to work on a couple of things. Got a long way to go though to catch up to everybody else these days.

I do have a real desire to do a Red Dawn and a Fulda Gap scenario. Hopefully I can do them sometime.

It would be awesome to see a 1980s tactical NATO/WARPAC slugout scenario!

Especially a Jimmywax production....

Hey, good to see you Jimmy

Jimmy
I really love the NVA units, they have the right vibe and are the sort of thing I was looking for now. I think I will pinch the helmet camo if I may? These units were all in the first attempted incarnation of my scenario, I just needed to try and bring them up to date a bit more, if that makes sense. The Hueys are probably going in, they have a special role to play!

Help needed

Hello creators

I have included the link below to the development thread of my new Vietnam war scenario:

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=4751439#post4751439

While I am busy making the map I am hoping that some talented people could help me out with some new units. I have got pleanty of Infantry and Armoured and Aircraft units that I can borrow or modify. What I am looking for is the more unique 1960s units, particularly the boats of the Mobile Riverine Force (see link) and helicopters such as Chinooks and Hueys. I will list all the units I intend to use and the ones I really need help with. Any improvements on my existing attempts would be very cool too.

Although I am designing this game for MGE I would not mind ToT graphics as I could always squeeze them in the MGE boxes!

Thanks

here's a Stryker i did a while back, not terribly good, but still, a Stryker, with and without the RPG fence.

Can anybody please make me an F-23 Black Widow II unit (MGE, please)?

I've got a F-23 graphic in use, but 1)I'm not sure it looks all that much like an F-23 and 2)to quote tanelorn in the Vietnam thread, "I don't think it's at par with today's Fairliney standards..."

To see the standards of graphics I need, look at the screenshots in the US Civil War 2012 thread.

Here are some reference pics (click to enlarge):

Hello wonderful Modern unit creators. What a thoroughly talented bunch of individuals you really are!

I have just posted a rether large request on page 5 of my Vietnam development thread looking for units. If anyone has the time to have a go at a few I would be forever in your debt!
