Some of the points I posted earlier still apply:
'The US army trooper has ETO uniform rather than green denims (I'd replace him with N13 in the US WW2 compilation I posted)'
The 'Russian' is the same US trooper pic
That's a really old Japanese Type 4 tank drawing. I've posted much more recent one in the WW2 Japanese unit compilation
The truck pic is ancient - from MGE days. I have posted a multitude of Japanese, British, Russian etc trucks. Take your pick.
No Ki-84, B5N, D4Y, G4M or Ki-51? But you have far less made / used aircraft like the Ki-100..
Not sure why you've extended the cockpit all the way back on the B10 bomber
Picking up on Curt's point, I'd cover the important vehicle and troop types first and have the remaining slots used for the obscure stuff
The uniform thing was confusing me. Thank-you for the separate file. I must've missed the Type 4, or maybe it was added in one of your "a few tanks and updates," I somehow forgot to download, because it was late at night, early in the morning, or some such. As for the "Russian guy in a U.S. uniform," as I had mentioned in my original units.bmp file, he's not Soviet at all. He's meant to a Filipino Scout unit, the ones who conducted a guerilla warfare against the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Their symbol was a red shield with a yellow-bull's head. I just figured that Soviet shield would be easiest to build from, just by adding a few yellow pixels, here and there. And, the Filipino Scouts were completely kitted and armed by the U.S. Army. Japanese Aircraft can certainly be re-evaluated in another go over. I don't recall changing that B10 Bomber at all. As I recall, that's how it was copied and pasted from a
@Tanelorn compilation. And I will have a look at your trucks.
Still only one Brit Imperial troop, even though the UK ruled a quarter of the globe at this point? Also the USA is under represented.
But we get tribal rifles and other obscure soldiery? I think you are adding what looks cool, rather than the historical reality...
But, it is your scenario, and I am only an onlooker making a comment. So go for it.
My viewpoint of infantry in scenarios may be a bit antiquated - that is, they do garrison and defensive work while artillery, tanks/cavalry, bombers, paratroops, and marines are the main offensive, unless they're "special infantry." Since I haven't seriously take on a scenario for a while, I think you're right, that this viewpoint may be need a bit a re-evaluation.
@McMonkey Objectives and scope are indeed quite important, and definitely a free-form, "you are the commander, the battlefield is yours, victory is yours to win by whatever means, or defeat is on your head," type of scenario is probably not going to work, and wasn't quite what I had in mind.
Again, thank you all greatly for this advice. I'll see can be made fully of it.
