New Unit; Generic WWII soldier

[Smoking mirror]

Heres a new rifle armed infantry for the 1940s and 1950s, Could be used for Most european nations.
Two attack files and sound files are included, one with a reload (representing a bolt action rifle) and one repeating rifle. Also the unit is available in green and brown colour schemes. The brown one includes all the flicks and sound files and an INI file, the green one includes only the flicks, so just download it right over the other version.

Edit; added civlopedia pics, two styles in each colour

Great! I've been using the PTW American Rifleman as a WWII Infantry, but this is much better!

O.K. I've fixed it and reuploaded, should be fine now.
This would also be a good unit for korean war scenarios and early cold war mods. I've tried to make it fairly versatile, and also to get the colour and tone about the same as the civ III units (using the Rifleman and infantry rather than the play the world WWII units) but its quite difficult.

You could also use it for chinese nationalist armies or eastern europeans such as poland or hungary.

The only thing with all these new Industrial age units is I never get to play them. I usualy get bored by the time I reach democracy and decide to add more units and start agian.

Great unit idea, Smoking Mirror! Downloading pronto...

...although I also have the problem you've got, with never getting to the modern age so as to be able to use these units!

very cool, and very useful.

 

[unscratchedfoot]

Good unit. To be able to use the unit, you should only play modded scenarios instead of the agonizingly boring original game. The conquests are good for modding.

Very nice!

He looks Great

Most exellent indeed.

Great unit! And Smoking mirror's right. Definitely can be used as KMT troops for a Chinese civil war (1945-1949) scenario.

Now only if someone will make a 1940s PLA trooper unit, I can then do that scenario and rewrite history.

 

[NateDawgNY]

Very nice! I'm definitely putting him in my mod.

 

[TopGun]

Very nice!
So, now my 19c Riflemen upgrade to (early20c) Infantry to these guys, which I will call Heavy Infantry.

Thanks! 1,000 Thanks!
