New series featuring the MP40. To start here is my Kriegsmarine which some have been anticipating. I hope to include Fallschirmjager, Gebirgsjager and SS units in this series as well.

Impressive very impressive thanks for continuing to contribute to the community!

Very, very nice! :thumbsup:

Impressive very impressive thanks for continuing to contribute to the community!

Thanks BK! I think Civ III unit making will always be my favorite pass time and hobby, even though I don't have as much time lately.

Thank you very much! Good to see some more German units. :)

Superb!
Thank you very much

Sweet. Glad you're keeping this up :thumbsup:

Best,

Oz

Erm, superb unit. And I don't want to critizise that much. However, no soldier would have hold the weapon at the magazine. It would crack the gun.

Adler

Excellent addition :) hmmm... one Q., though: How will this unit be implemented next to you already wonderful dark grey Kriegsmarine (i.e. winter uniform) unit?


ps. @Adler: The MP40 is not held at the magazine. There is a handguard just above it into which the mag is inserted.

Superb Unit ,Gary !:goodjob: Can hardly wait for the rest ...:D

Btw, check my sound library, I have MP40 sounds in there.

Congratulations on another Fine Unit Addition Gary :goodjob:
Always look forward to your Units... Glad you still have some time to continue making them :)

Awesome! I think he'll be very useful! :)

Well. I'm thinking I may do a Kriegsmarine with camo. That way he will look more like a combat unit and a little less like a parade unit. Maybe the white shirt wasn't such a great idea after all? :blush:

Thank you everyone for the kudos. Now that I have the basic animations done I should be able to whip out a few MP40 units reasonably quick. :)

I like the white shirt, but I think it may have been better with a rifle for early what if marines (like WWI).

Well after all it's a unit from WWII. :)

Great unit Gary! I'll be waiting for more MP40s.

WINTER, if you have a careful look on the picture, he has the hands on the magazine and not the handguard. That's why I said that.

Steph, Kriegsmarine marines were in action to take the British Channel islands and in the Med, too. (Not to speak about the units used in the last fights.)

Adler

Last critic: The so called Deutscher Gruß was not used in the Kriegsmarine very much until the plot in 1944 failed. And even then it wasn't popular.

Adler

Great unit! Awesome addition to your collection!

OT: Also, even when firing blanks, don't let the barrel touch your bare skin. Even after you fire a short burst.

I heard our gruppenfuhrers(spelling?) skin sizzling from about 15ft away. Of course the swearing quickly confirmed it. But he was quick thinking enough to do so in German.

Adler

Deutscher Gruß? You mean the Heil Hitler salute? I didn't use a Deutscher Gruß for this unit. If you notice, his fidget is drinking water and his victory is a "yahoo" motion. :confused:

As far as his grip, I guess I can adjust that a little in the Attack animation but it should be fine for the default and fun animations.

Yes, I meqant Heil Hitler. And yes, after seeing it again, you're right. No problems.

Adler

I think that at civ scale, it does look a bit like he's grabbing the grip and not the magazine.

Indeed ,the "Heil Hitler salute" was called "Deutscher Gruß" or "Hitler Gruß".

There`s absolutly NO need for further adjustments ,I think. The Unit can stay like it is.

Erm, superb unit. And I don't want to critizise that much. However, no soldier would have hold the weapon at the magazine. It would crack the gun.

Adler

What do you mean by that? Is this weapon that fragile? I have little experience with German weapons from the second world war, but I carried a rifle derisively referred to as a "mattel toy," and never damaged it by holding the magazine. Is it the lack of a mag well?

I like the white shirt, but I think it may have been better with a rifle for early what if marines (like WWI).

I like playing AoI. The german "Naval Infantry" El Justo is curenntly using is the "Boer Rifleman" ,I think. So if you put him a Rifle in the hands ,I surely would use him for AoI. I can hardly say what El Justo thinks about this ,but I second the idea of Steph.
But I wouldn`t talk of better.:)

mhhh- there used to be a WWI era postcard pic on the net depicting such a German landing team, white shirts, dark trousers, with rifles, sailor hats and sun helmets. Will see if I can still find it. Was ages ago that I stumbled over it.

Merry Christmas Civfanatics! There's a new unit under the Christmas tree tonight. :)

Nice present! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!

You're most welcome!

One more stocking stuffer under the Civmas tree...a Gebirgsjager.

Thanks :goodjob:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year [party]

:old:

Many thanks m8!

Yay! Gary's back, ready for Bastogne :D

BTW, running "Gebirgsjager" through the Google translator app yields, "Orogenic Jager". Go figure :rolleyes:

Thanks For Adding This Under The Tree,

Oz

Cool, Gary's back! Thank you very much for these nice units! I especially like the Gebirgsjäger.

Great to see Gary back again, and still producing those wonderful units! :goodjob:

Now Germany only lacks the early infantryman in feldgrau uniform with jackboots to replace that icky piece from PTW... :mischief:

Maybe he also has a suprise for New Year :-)

It is a wonderful surprise to see you return with new units! Thank you for the presents and I hope you continue to make more.

Happy Holidays Civfanantics!! I added a new unit to this series, a Fallschirmjager.

It's only been a year since the last update! :lol:

Thanks
:cool:
wonderful it is here again!

Hi Gary, great that you are back. Your work is needed here. :)

Yes, I hope it's only the first of many new units. Join the bandwagon of the best artists who are making a come back after months away!

Thanks guys! I hope to knock out a couple units over the holidays. working on a new series now. :)

Awesome Fallschirmjaegar Gary! Thank you.

Nice unit and good news. :D
Already guessed that you might bring in something new around christmas. :snowgrin:
Thanks for not forgetting about us.

Excellent Fallschirmjager Unit Gary and Good to see you :) :goodjob:

Great work, Gary :goodjob:

I was wondering where you'd got to a while back... Nice to see you've returned!

Happy Holidays Civfanantics!! I added a new unit to this series, a Fallschirmjager.

It's only been a year since the last update! :lol:

STOP OPENING OLD THREADS! Hahaha no iam joking!
I am I real fan of your units, still using them alot. Really happy to see you 'back'.

Still, I wonder what is 'wrong' with your old Fallmjager?? This one looks great, but are you planning to do redo all of them??

Iam also hoping you will recolor your modern soldier one of these days in desert color. (request ;-) )

Nice to see you back! And great job on that Green-devil!

looks great welcome back!

Nice to see you back! And great job on that Green-devil!
The name "Green Devils" was gained from their green splinter cammo during the Italian campaign, when they were employed as shock infantry. Looking quite smooth there, Gary =) nice to see this line is still being worked on =) Any plans for an African set with Afrika Korps, Italian, French, UK and some Spanish troops :) ? (I know i am evil asking)

Thank you for the new unit :) I hope there's more to come (like your soviet soldier and early-war german infantry)

;)

Thanks guys! I hope to knock out a couple units over the holidays. working on a new series now. :) That's good news :) Nice pack here Gary :goodjob:

I'm going to try to add a couple more units to my catalog over the holidays. Unfortunately my RL work keeps me so busy that it's hard to find time to do much else. I wish I could say that's a bad thing but in this economy I obviously can't complain. :blush:

Afrika Korps, now that's an idea. Maybe I'll try squeezing in another MP40 unit before I move on. :cool:
