Operation Seelowe.

[Fairline]

Yeah, I thought the big 1/2 tracks were a bit of a stretch. I wanted to work them in, but I'm sure there will be other opportunities. I'll use the 251, though with the SS insignia, because I think it's more recognizable, but thank you. I'll use the Opel for the motorized divisions, and the 251 for the motorized infantry rgts. in the Panzer divisions. Similarly, I'll use the Bren Carrier for the infantry in the British armoured divisions.

sounds good

For the new units (thank you again), I've got the Flak38 and the GebG 36 7.5 for the falschirmjaeger and air-landing divisions and the Flak36 as light AA attached to divisions and at airfields. Sound right? Do you know if the 7.5 artillery could be transported on both gliders and in Ju-52s? It looks a bit...heavy.

yeah I think the pic of the GebG36 was a little too chunky. Here's a slightly slimmer version. This is an interesting reference to their use by FJ in Crete. I don't think it mentions whether the guns were glider-borne or airlifted in by Ju-52, but they got to Crete by air somehow. The AA gun use sounds right.

So, no Irish Invasion when things go really bad.....

If you want it, just create Tech a new map and place all the cities again for him...

Or make your own scenario.

 

[techumseh]

Perhaps create a scenario in which the Emperor Palpatine invades Ireland from his secret base in the Channel Islands.

 

[techumseh]

Thanks G. Looking forward to the rest of your German compliation.

I'm on it!

 

[JPetroski]

I am so looking forward to this scenario. The map looks great. The units are awesome, and it'll be my first time playing one of your scenarios in a long while as the links of the scenario league no longer work! I cannot wait

When I was looking into a battle of Crete scenario (I have a Maleme to Heraklion Civ2 map somewhere) I had modded a light single 20mm AA gun, used by the fallschirmjäger (the Flak 30). I can redo it, if you wish. It is essentially the same weapon as the Flak 38 though.

Thanks T. I think I've got what I need, but the more the merrier! Add it to the mix.

Here is the ever-so-close-to-being-final Units file. Would someone do me the favour of helping the Cr. 42 out of it's desert camo and into a green colour scheme like the other Italian aircraft? Then it is indeed finished!



A note on the white symbols, in case they aren't self-explanatory. The parachute obviously indicates they have the para flag; those with wings may not jump, but can be carried in gliders or Ju-52s. The "C" means these aircraft can operate from aircraft carriers. The triangle indicates mountain-capable units that can enter impassible terrain (mountains, cliffs, and swamp). All British non-motorized units will also have this ability, but will not have the symbol.

The camo is OK as it is I think (2nd pic down obv):

Here's confirmation: One shot down over Lowestoft

 

[Fairline]

This parachute by Catfish is very nice. Maybe you could use it?

BTW, I included a German WW2 camo Ju-52 in the compilation on the ww2 units thread if you want to use it.

 

[techumseh]

Ok. That's that, then. I'm gonna tweak the green blobs a bit, and then Done! Thank for everything. Tanelorn, you too.

(edit) I added the camo-ed 52, also. Nice work.

 

[Fairline]

Here's a great view of the green blobs and my effort to reproduce them for your discerning eye

Apparently the pilot of this Falco ran out of fuel and crash landed in England thinking it was France...

BTW, I think the other Italian aircraft in the Battle of Britain were sand and spinach camo as well.

 

[techumseh]

You're too late!

 

[Fairline]

Agggggggghhhhhhhhh *head explodes*

 

[techumseh]

OK I admit, yours is better. Not wanting to aggravate your condition, I should let you know that I'm working on "adjusting" your Me-110, which I think needs a bit of refreshment, including some green camo. I will defer to you if you feel another attack coming on.

 

[Fairline]

No you go for it Brian. I'll reign in my ocd long enough. Looking forward to the results of your efforts

And here they are:



Ready of sign off on these unit graphics. If anyone has reason why these graphics and this scenario should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever hold his Paintshop Pro.

They're too young! And they have the same father! And this union would destroy our town's community!

No, seriously, they look awesome!

 

[CurtSibling]

This scenario is shaping up great! Brings back memories of LucasArt's Battle of Britain!
