A World in Arms: WW2 armies

I'm amazed that I missed this thread; great idea!

I have some very specific suggestions for Vietnam-era units. When I was working on my Vietnam Interface, I made a list of vietnam-era units, based on a Wikipedia page Weapons of the Vietnam War. I researched each unit's earliest date of entry into the war, then cross-referenced the whole thing against the downloads database. See View attachment Unit debuts (timeline) update.rar, blame caffeine. You might find it useful.

About a year ago gwendoline covered many of the helicopter slots. There aren't alot of units for the Royal Thai or Royal Cambodian armies, or for Australia and South Korea, who were allied participants. Other combatants not represented include Khmer Rouge and Pathet Lao troops. Every side could use Sappers. Some specialized troops might be N. Korea: Skeleton Corps Guerillas, Laos: Meo tribesmen (L'armee Clandestine), Hmoung troops, Nung Mercenaries, MACV (SOG): Montagnard (Degar) Commandos.

Both Yoda Power & I have made Indonesia maps with navigable Mekong rivers, so some river craft would be very appreciated, particularly Swift boats.

Oooooh my

and the ETA for this outstanding collection ???

I hope you release packages when they get ready.
Not wait to pop out everything at once. Since I´m sure what you got ready can be played around with, and who knows in the time that comes. You might have a HD crash or something.
So please, piecemeal publishing Sir

I see the British Infantry Bren gunner. AT LAST.
Are you planning on any infantry mortar units to upgrade from the great WWI versions ??

Fantastic, I'm going to expand my mod to some units!


Wotan49

Very cool! I almost don't dare to ask, but maybe you might consider adding Infantry & MG (and possibly AT) to Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Sweden, and maybe an MG for the Netherlands? That would allow us to retire Winter's good but old color conversions for WW2.

The list I have put in is only for the units I have just made, so many other are to do. Sure I will add for all the civs a Mortar Team unit.

The Netherland are many to do, I want add for each civ involved in my pack at least an Infantry MG, an Infantry HMG, a Mortar Team, an Heavy artilley unit, an AT artillery unit and some tank/armored vehicles, that for the minor power is very difficult because there are few or nothing models in internet.
Some tank are made by myself: British Archer and Sexton, Puteaux AT Gun, German Wirbelwind, SdKfz 251 Stuka zu Fuss, Italian 47/32 AT Gun, Italian Autocannone 80/45 and 90/53, Italian Camionetta AS 42, Polish Wz38 AT Gun, Romanian TACAM R-2 and TACAM T60, Danish Madsen 20mm AT/AA Gun, Polish Vickers VI Twin Turret.
Now I'm working on Hungarian Nimrod. Many other models are found in free dowloading but they have needed much work to fit they in Poser.

Ares, I can add the civ you asked for, but I need references (photos, images, pcs.)

Ares, minus Portugal, plus Greece - what do you think?

Frankly, I could need both. Thanks imperator for helping me out! Maybe some of the guys can aid me in my search of the needed pictures?

Here are a few: http://stukasoverstalingrad.blogspot.de/2013/02/world-war-ii-uniforms-z.html

This is going to be the biggest addition to WWII collection since Wyrmshadow released his SOE units in 2007!

I must ask if the sorely missed german Jagdpanzer IV is somewhere in your huge list of units to make ?

It was a Tankdestroyers the germans used very much as I understand, and not even the great Wyrmshadow made one.

Same with the British Humber armored car ?

The list is so big that something can be missed. Greece was in my list with Yugoslavian and Slovak, even if at the moment I haven't any unit ready but only in mind.

The Jagdpanther is in my list; as for the Humber I dont' find a decent model to work. There is a good model but it need too money to buy.

Well the Jagdpanther Sd.Kfz.173 was also a great thing for the Germans, BUT that not the same vehicle as the Jagdpanzer IV Sd.Kfz.162.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdpanther

Two very very different looking machines.
So I do hope you got the correct one = Jagdpanzer IV

Anyhow, whatever you got is more than merry. Thanks in advance and I hope you publish some of these babies very soon. Please don´t wait until ALL is done. Fear that anything could happend until then. I seen "creators" drop away before during my short time in this forum.
The Guardian dropped out just after he got several of your units publish in SPQR-beta. If he had hanged in waiting we would perhaps never seen those great Roman units that was "hidden" in SPQR.

Wyrm did make a JagdPanther as well as several stripes of Hetzer. Also, although I know that it's "fashionable" among some to deride his pre-Wyrmshadow work, I still find that ripptide's old units have a certain quaint charm; among his creations are (likewise) a JagdPanther & Hetzer, as well as a JagdTiger & Elefant.

- Nonetheless, I have to agree with you that the lack of a Jagdpanzer IV is, if nothing else, at least statistically puzzling.


Cheers,

Oz

Are these units going to be civ colored?

you know that I don't love civ colored so I have managed to have the units the greater than possible to see immediatly what unit they are and to wich civ they belong. Same for the Infantry units.
