....I will end by saying that the naval game,is far more interesting,with alot more units around.[:)]

I don't doubt that all. All I'm saying is that one should keep the strategical level of warfare in mind. The game doesn't work on operational nor tactical level.

I don't think that is necessarily right - World In Flames for example is a strategic level game - army and corps sized units - that has every individual ship from light cruiser upwards that fought in WWII. That is quite extreme (although I must say quite brilliant too [:)]) but probably not required here [;)].

I am just pleased that the concerns re the naval game made by most players are being addressed and that the naval game should be more interesting as a result. I am looking forward to play testing the new units that's for sure!

Ok whether anyone wants to download these new ship art files,when I make them available,is down to personal choice,all I will say is the game is much much better with than without.

That said here is the final piece of the German navy jig saw,the U Boat.Next stop the Italian Fleet.[:D]

Sounds like a strange but interesting concept. I doubt that every ship needs a hex of its own. [;)]

There are no hexes at sea in World In Flames! But yes, it is an interesting concept, and one that works well for that game - the bestest game ever made no less.

I'm trying a new art idea for the naval game at least, here is the new plan view off a Pre-Dreadnought.[8D]

I'm only experimenting here, but any feedback would be much appreciated thanks.

Ok back to 3D art, I have just finished art for German Dreadnoughts based on the Konig class

Also note that the cruiser units are now called Light Cruiser, because in my mod I also have Armoured cruisers.

Due to a forum server crash, I'm reposting the new art I have done for the Austrian navy. This new art will be the standard design I will be creating for all Nations with ships. It is a side on view with the full hull shown in colour, feedback on these would be very much appreciated thank you![;)]
