Unit Series: Sterling SMG

[Usteros]

PPSh is on the backburner at the moment. I'll try to fit it in at a future date. I need to make some changes to the unit before I can start rendering. I think I'm fine with info on WWII Russians. I still have all those pics in my WIP thread to work from.

Thanks and Good Luck for You!

nice to see you are back.
I just want to add few words, following your recent "why even bother?" thread (I know I' quite late but I was away for job).

I second most of opinion expessed there and would like to add that details at civ scale are important but don't define all the "value" of a unit.
Overtime, your foot soldiers got impressive improvements in animation. IMHO in civ3 a smooth, realistic movement (instead of a robot-like one) is even more important than most of small details.

keep on your good work

Very nice unit, Gary.

And I second the idea that the animations are really what makes a superb unit. Detail is important, but how the unit behaves is what really catches my eye. The units that I love the most are the one with complex attacks or fidgets or whatever. And of course, when a unit maker provides us modders with three or four attacks and multiple pcx's, I get all warm and fuzzy inside.

That`s just my opinion ...

Welcome back, Gary!!!

Great to see you will continue your impressive work. And yes, Russians - I need them, WWII and modern ones in all variations

Great unit and great work Gary! I like this unit.

 

[Gary Childress]

Many thanks again everyone. I'm working on another unit in this series but am having palette problems so it may take a little longer to get this next one out.

@John Falkner: I'll need to resurect my Russians. I need to make some changes to their clothing as the shirt I was using looks too skinny on them.

That would make nice Siege of Leningrad russian units with little to eat.

Cool jungle fighter!

I'll probably use it as British infantry, early cold war.

For whatever twisted reason, mod ideas are coming to me complete with (existing) song lyrics. Can you sing, "Belgians in the Congo"?

Very nice work.

Best,

Oh come now, I've read of a delicacy they dined on: bread made with sawdust.

True story from the siege of Leningrad. A woman visiting a bureaucrat asked for his briefcase. For whatever reason, he acquiesced. She later returned his briefcase - sort of. She had boiled the leather down into some form of edible jello. The bureaucrat was not displeased.

Best,
