[X(] I think you must have lost some fingers typing and retyping the names for all those files.

Not at all Smeulders, I just used Reg's Brilliant batch file, to auto number the same bmp file a few thousand times. MUST THANK REG FOR A BRILLIANT TOOL

Wow, thank you for all of the hard work.

Excellent work Les.[;)]

Next up is an update for RN destroyers, with the influx of ships from Europe in 45' this is a whole bunch of ships with some beautiful badges in there. For those interested in ship badges, take a look at the Readme's included in all RN updates, there is some beautiful work to be found there.

...I think you're referring to "Complete guide to USN Medals, Badges and Insignia ...". However Amazon lets you take a look at some pages and the table of contents show that there are at most 4 pages on ship identification badges (if it's not some other kind of identification badge), so it's won't have many examples that could be used for the game.

Yes that's the one I had in mind. There's another interesting title by Paul H. Silverstone (The Navy of World War II, 1922-1947 (U.S. Navy Warship)) but it's unclear whether it containes any badges at all, I need to enquire.

To my knowledge the earlier packs for RN DD only included the ones arriving early in the war, this new pack also includes all late arriving DD. Some of the older badges were replaced to give a more consistent style. I'll also have to thank Dixie for this one, as I may or may not have used some of his badges (they are nearly identical at 70x70 due to using the same source and I lost track when changing computers)

Thanks, some interesting hints. I'm mainly looking for online sources though, would make it a lot easier to make the badges out off. At the moment I'm assuming most ships never had any (official) badges. For cruisers I might do something similar as for the battleships (use something from the cities coat of arms). For other ships I'm not yet sure if anything will get done soon. Still lots of work on the RAN which has some pretty good sources and my source for RN isn't dry yet either.

Thanks again guys for all the tedious hard work!!!![&o][&o][&o]
