Announcing the Falklands War mod

Ships, which I suppose you can't really do insignia for, and aircraft, since the others you would need to see a preview of, and I'm not ready to do them yet. Civic buttons would be great too, if you could manage
 
I will spend some time looking into this tomorrow to let you know what I come up with.
 
OK, I have found some stuff here.
I saw that you had medics listed as a unit... I would recommend against that, and just allow the medic promotion. Other than hardcore medical units that basically comprise division level assets in the rear, medics are generally embedded within the fighting units.

I have some stuff for the argentinians...
Agrupación de Comandos Anfibios = Amphibious Commandos Group

Agrupación de Buzos Tácticos = Tactical Divers Group

2nd Marine Infantry Btn

Grupo de Artillería Antiaérea 601 / Grupo de Artillería de Defensa Aérea 601 = Air Defense Art



And I will look for some more stuff...
 
I know - this is going to be a common factor in this thread I think, especially with things like that - I was there. The logic is that you are working with stacks representing brigades and divisions, and you need to decide how much medical support you need in each one, and if you need any in your cities (they will make the people happy)
 
I hear you. So, are you a fellow paratrooper?

I have about 10 buttons or so that I have to shrink to 64x64 and then save as DDS, which I can't do on my home computer. Expect them this evening.
 
Fellow? I take it you're american, but still put a cherry on your head?

Yes - the avatar is 16 Air Assault Brigade's TRF and the motto is from the Parachute Regiment

Are you sure the Americans don't wear them? They're in the mod.

We only called the rookies cherries... the beret is maroon for us (so we tell ourselves).
We wore the beret... but only in garrison! Which always upset me... otherwise, patrol cap (rarely) or the darned Kevlar...
I got out though, 2006... so no beret for me.
 
It's a good job you're not British - our helmets until fairly recently (for the Paras, in fact, the Falklands) were known as bouncys because when you ran they bounced and hammered on your head, but some of us wore our berets to battle (notably the Bootnecks). The phrase cherry beret is a 2nd Battalion thing, I think, and not many people say it. Anyway - seen the previews? One of the units that needs a button is the (my spanish fails me) Argentine Commandos
 
Yes, we all wanted to wear the berets... for many reasons... in combat, especially the running/pounding helmet.

Previews look good. I have buttons for the commandos (you said use insignias), and several of the other units... I will be home in a couple of hours, and post them tonight (so, you will probably get them right around bed time on the other side of the pond there, or maybe tomorrow morning).
 
^ :lol: Ahahaha, that made my day!

Oh, and thanks for the info, Flying Pig. I'm anticipating this mod!
 
I have now finished ALL the British units! The vague plan now is to do the Argentine units, then the map and then all the bits like civics and leaderheads
 
Brilliant leaderhead! Just so you all know without having to click, it's Leopoldo Galetieri of Argentina. It's also awesome.

By the way, I've made a breakthrough - I have the Royal Engineers unit acting like a Worker but shooting when attacked!
