Modern Unit Graphics

While you are requesting tootall, if TNO does add more units, will you take my suggestion of adding a Royal Lao Army unit into consideration?

That would also require a Pathet Lao unit.

I'm pretty sure I had seen one of those on his roster, Tech, which I believe is what inspired me to make my suggestion.

Ask and ye shall receive! The outline of the Chinook looks great though the window colors are maybe a little too dim. Is it possible to make them stand out a little more and maybe add an Army or Navy roundel on the tail section. I think that would give the unit more punch.

Hi everybody. Why does'nt the units.gif file work in civ2?

Fairline's modern units. These PNGs have been compressed with PNGOut and are IE-friendly.

It's tricky to get an altered gif-file running. Simply turn the gif-file into a bmp-file, that should do.

You can use Windows's Paint for that.

Jugoslovenska narodna armija, Yugoslav National Army. The territorial dude has an old m59 sks, instead of an m70. Also the para is in the more distinctive 70s camo, otherwise he should have the same 80s suit as the mountain inf guy to his left.

Austrian Bundesheer, 1978 & henceforth:

Does anyone remember Steph (Jim Panse)? He'd mentioned to me on Skype having served a tour in the Bundesheer (mostly because of Austrian conscription laws). Sadly, I lost touch with him a number of years ago...

Nice units Tanelorn

Muchas gracias mi amigo.
I plan to redo the whole cold war thing in the process.

Late cold war infantry(East German, Polish, Czechoslovakian, Hungarian and Albanian), in summer gear and field caps.


(Edit- The yellowish furniture on the Hungarian AK and the reddish furniture, short gas block on the Czech VZ are intentional.)

Late cold war Scandinavian infantry(Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish), in summer gear and field caps.

Late cold war infantry(French, German, Dutch and Belgian), in summer gear and field caps.

Late cold war infantry in summer gear. Spanish with CETMEs, Portuguese with FAL and early G3 (also valid for their colonial war I think), Italians with Berettas (in the 80s regular infantry wore dark olive drab but have reverted to camo since) and a C1A1 wielding Chanuk just because.

Late cold war infantry in summer gear. Details later.


Addendum:
The tan backround Greek lizard camo is the original scheme that was phased out suring the 80s in favor of the off-greenish one to the left. It was adopted by Cyprus however and was supplemented by the brown lizard camo of their own, up to about 2000.
The earlier (milled and superior) PYRKAL built FN-FALs were gradualy replaced since the 80s by (stamped, cheaper and less sensitive) EBO built G3s (also used by Cyprus)
The olive drab, dark helmet and British webbing guy with the Garand stands for reserve units and such.

The Turkish version of the duckhunter camo was restricted to paras and marines, but as helmetcloth it lingered into the 80s. He is armed with a former West German G1 (FN FAL). The ERDL leaf pattern became almost universal in the 80s TKK, as did the MKEK G3. The olive drab uniform and older Garands were also common.

Socialist Romania adopted these camo overalls of Soviet origin. The mountain guy has a PSL sniper (not an SVD).

Sharpened the Bulgarian a bit. The background is even lighter compared to the Polish original rain drop camo but the splinter patterns make it look darker. They also exported a tan bacground version to pro-USSR Afganistan.

Must ... not ... do ... cold ... war scenario!!!
Atleast not before I finish the civil war project, wonderfull work Tan.

Btw, not sure if you make camos for tanks but if you make a Hellenic Army camo for Fairline's Leopard 1A4 (west set above #246), it is going in the BCW when the Greek Intervention fires.


Is there going to be middle east units and far east ones?
You certainly are doing a great job and I havent seen a single cold war Indian or Japanese unit around here.

Thank you guys!

I think that unit drawing in let's say, chaotic circumstances is a very Zen thing to do. Like a mantra for meditation.

Well Strelok, I happen to have these Pattons and "Ducklings" handy. I am almost sure I have a Leopard too, but where?


I wish Typhoon would show up and do his thing. Nevertheless, I will do EVERYTHING. Soviets and Middle East first. Check the Vietnam thread for SE Asia.

And finally a disturbingly compulsive literally two pixel fix: moved the front sights on the Valmet on the gas block instead of the muzzle as in the AK. Mental note for Galils and Vektors.
