Look in post 784, 785 for lists.
only dial-up? too bad. Besides this is unavailable for DL yet. Welcome to CFC.

I made a written list of the units on the previous page whilst going through characteristic chronic insomnia, and could put it up as an attached word file or whatever if the mod team allow it; if not, no problem - it was a late night Darkshadian thing. Just doing it gave me an insight into the level of work that has been done for this magnum opus - kudos once more.
(It is an annotated list organised by nation and service arm, although not organised as a chroniological thing; it is complete as to what was put up in the attached screenshots; that is, missing a bit of Russia)

I have got to get up to the number of post for using my own Avatar. I was looking at Equuleus's post and I saw the Avatar and was trying to remember when I posted that. Anyway, I just wanted to say the units are looking beautiful and I am eagerly awaiting all the arrivals.
Having a custom avatar is overrated. 
You might take a look into the Off Topic section. There's probably a topic there your couldspam post in to get to 30 posts.

I'm close enough now that I'll just finish it up the right way. It's like a new game, it's always more fun to beat it the first time without cheat codes!
Well, good luck to you then.

For the record, and so the OT group doesn't hunt me down and maul me, I just meant using them to get post, rather than getting it by posting when I really mean to.

See? You're spamming this thread up! (Me too!) You're already half way there. Might as well join the dark side....

I really hope the guys finish play testing things soon. I'm really itching to get these damn units out of the way and public.

Well, the SOE team could start releasing them in several packs. That way, when the mod files are done, we'll already have the units and won't have to d/l a 1 gig+ file.

Well the problem with that is my units (and Winters) are the main selling points of the scenario. Interest in it would drastically decrease if everyone already has the meat of it. Sorta like publishing the entire final screen play before a movie comes to theaters. A good portion that read it, may not want to see how it was all put together.

How are you guys handling having the AI produce more than one type of land Attacker or Defender (etc.) at a time? (I know Wyrmshadow alone has made made - what, literally over a thousand units???

Hi Oz,
one option that is used are units autoproduced by imps.
And I´m working on a (at time not official) solution based on a regional trade net (this again based on my "resource cities": http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=4863067&postcount=15), so that p.e. a German S 35 tank can only be produced in cities with the French city resource but the Pz III and IV need the German city resource and so their production is regional limited too (and so on). This means, that all tradenet connections between these regions must be blocked. But as I said, at time this no official solution for SOE, only some private experiments. Here you can see how a Russian resource city for WW could look like: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=4861898&postcount=10 (the city of Tikvin).
Hi Civinator,
I figured & read that you were using those two approaches. I ask because it's a question near & dear to my modding efforts.
I like the geography approach - I imagine cut off Germans in occupied France could produce, e.g., Somua S-35s representing captured inventory.
Still, even with the resource approach, just due to the number of types of units involved, how are you having the AI decide which of (I'm guessing, not estimating) maybe two dozen different types of land units the Wehrmacht might build in 1943?
