I suppose in the case of China, SE Asia, the Arabs, Africans et al, since we are dealing with fictitious or "what if" scenarios, I could also just as easily create completely fictitious designs for them.

I used a different color on the French tanks. Unfortunately, I can't do camo because I'm not UV mapping the vehicles. Creating the model is labor enough. Creating a UV map would probably drive me insane.

Pretty nice tanks

Thank you. They're at least better than creating completely fictional tanks. They better look their role to some degree.

Working on the Soviets now. Just finished a T-26. I'll post it when I get the other two tanks for them completed, probably a T-34 and an IS-2.

Here's a second version of the Hotchkiss. I like the angle of the turret better, revealing its distinctive shape.

Bonus tank for the Americans. M-24 Chaffee--one of my all-time favorite tanks.

Better angle and resolution. Just for fun...

I have a list of how I think I will flesh out the tanks of ahistorical regimes. Mostly, the other regimes will use vehicles used by the main combatants in WW2. Please feel free to comment or post any ideas you may have. I'm getting close to finishing the Russian Tanks. In the process of creating a T-34/40.

Russian tanks.

Nothing new. These are just some stray vehicle files, mainly tanks, and also the 3 mortar files I posted above, zipped up in single file of .PNGs.

I hope to return to subformation graphics eventually. Right now, I've been seduced by Civilzation III for about the 50th time. Still love the game after 23 years.

Thanks

I hope you'll enjoy your hiatus from ATG

I figured that you must have gotten "distracted" - easy to do.

I have imported all the other stuff into Four Seasons, and noticed that there were still tanks to be made. So, I decided to wait a bit before bringing the tanks in.

To be honest, the tanks were extremely taxing to make from scratch (about 1/2 day each). Ships and aircraft would be taxing as well. So, I may not return to them, not sure. It depends on how I feel. If I could find some free models or extremely cheap models already made to use, that would be ideal.

Infantry I've pretty much got covered, vehicles are the real challenge.

Nope.

Ah ok. Well, maybe it is just in Danish then.

I think I was thinking of Kennedy.

His "Choosing to go to the moon" not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

Ah. That could be the case.

I hope these beautiful pictures will finally find a way to be part of regular game. I use them in 4seasons, but they deserve to be part of the main game.

Everyone is welcome to do whatever you want with these graphics. You may use them in the vanilla game or any mod you'd like to fit them into, including your own mods.

It has been a while since I have played around with installing mods for ATG. Where in the Graphics file would you install these excellent sprites to make them work for a Phoenix Random Game? Thanks.
