I said some time before, that i had prepear the Swedish 7YWar scenarios.
The mappack can be released but without unit graphics is unplayable. The owner of the unit graphic is Magnus, so it is his decision if he gonna share this with you guys.

The scenarios are in battalion and company size level:
1. 15.09.1758 Boitzenburg -> company level
2. 26.09.1758 Tarmow
3. 28.09.1758 Fehrbellin
4. 18.11.1758 Gustow
5. 16.09.1759 Wollin
6. 1759 Swinemunde -> campaign level
7. 3.10.1760 Pasewalk
8. 20.08.1761 Neu-brandenburg
9. 18.09.1761 Rothemuhl
10. 31.12.1761 Malchin -> siege
11. 2.01.1762 Neu Kahlden
12. Stettin-> hipotetical campaign level with higher number of units.

Yes I´ll see what I can do.

Really impressive scenario list! Can't wait to see all those good things in the game.

Magnus:

Don't know how big those graphic files are all together, but maybe you could try Mediafire, 50 GB are free.

50 GB would be fine. Whole game including all graphic you don't have, and all scenarios i got with some addictional stuff have like 1,5 GB.

The Swedish SYW army zipped is only 72Mb large.

Thank you very much for sharing, Magnus! Those Swedes look fantastic! [&o] Must have been a hellish lot of work. I wonder how you do those flags, are you (re)painting every single frame or do you have a specific technique for that?

And: What else might still wait on your harddrive ...? [;)]

Ok I will upload the scenarios today, all we missing is some Prussians

@von Schweinewitz
Can you look forward on the txt files, seams they are mess up./

As I promise i give you my scenarios:

Thank you very much! This is amazing!

Thanks a lot for input Von Schweinewitz.

Actually I just draw the flag as a texture and all units themselves are actual 3D models made in 3D Studio Max. So I put that texture on the 3D model of the flag and let 3Ds Max render all frames. So for me it´s of course a lot quicker to make units than for say PrinzHeinrich who has to copy and redraw every single frame.

Well I have almost finished the British SYW army too, missing is only Generals and some cavalry, that´s on my harddrive.

They include Highlanders by the way

So for instance here is the uniform texture for 2nd Coldstream Foot Guards ,this is how the actual uniform in detail looks. So there would be no problem if Horse & Musket would have been made on a larger scale with more detailed and larger figures.

And here is a preview of some British SYW units.

What can I say? That are great news; those Brits look terrific! Maybe some day we have the battle of Minden in the scenario list of the game. Never dared to think about that.

Didn't knew that you're working with 3D models. Was not around when Vol. 1 was in the making and haven't digged my way through all the old threads yet. Comparing your technique with my modding attemps I feel like a stone age man playing around with some colours. [:D]

What are your further plans, Magnus? Hanover or Hessen troops? French? (Would Prinz do a favour. [;)]) And: Will you share more of your work here? Would be very much appreciated![&o]

Magnus you are my Lord! Beautifull pictures and news!

Minden?

No, it is to fast and to much work to do to start thinking about that. Imaginate you have no French (Swiss, Ireland, Militz, Grenadiers, ect...) with multiply kind of uniforms, no Hessians, no Hannoverian, no Bruschwick, no Hessen-Kessel, only small piece of Reichsarmee.
AND RUSSIANS still uncompleted

ORIGINAL: PrinzHenrich

Minden?

No, it is to fast and to much work to do to start thinking about that.

Therefore I said: "maybe some day". - Many great things started with a dream. [:)]

Yes of course I will make the Reichsarmee for you guys. So no worries, French is definitely what I will start with soon. However what should I start with first? Russians almost complete and Brits almost complete. I will share the Brits and Russians when finished of course.

Hmm from this list which army should I start with?

1. Hannover (Pretty similiar to brits so fast to do)
2. Reichsarmee
3. French
4. Hessians
5. Hessen-Kassel
6. Brunswick
7. Hessen-Darmstadt (Fast to finish)

Fill in more armies, these above is what I can Think about right now.

Ok, i will make list of units from this armies we would like to have. No sense to create all of them, but maybe for few units, most involved into fight in 7 Year War.

Yes I agree Prinz Heinrich, those involved in actual fighting, not say garrison units or cavalry units that never saw any action would be useless to make.

For the Swedish Mappack still some prussians missing,
The first army after Russians and British should be Reichsarmee. Soon I will specify units, since some are allready done or similar to Austrians.

1. Kurköln Wildenstein
(2.) maybe Cronegk Infantry
3. Kurbayern Infantry
4. Reichsarmy Artillery (http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php? ... _Artillery or http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php? ... _Artillery)

and maybe some flagbeares (for units looking like austrians/prussians:
