I didn't want to look at any more blank disks and I also wanted to have my units be a little more distinct and easier to tell apart. So I spent the last several days working these up.

* All aircraft except Germans (not needed) have national emblems on their wings. Unique French and Russian planes remain.
* All tanks except Germans (not needed) have national emblems on their sides. Unique French and Russian tanks remain.

* Russian & French soldiers have been duplicated and unique garrisons for these two countries based on the Corps added as well.

* All HQ except Germans now have national emblems on the corner of their maps. Unique French and Russian HQ remain with added emblems.

* The following now all have national emblems for their respective countries:
* Transports
* Mechanized Troops
* Armored Cars
* Paratroopers
* Calvary
* Engineers
* Heavy Artillery
* Armored Trains
* Rockets
* Rail Guns
* Escort Carriers
* Carriers have
* Fixed Russian Shock Troops. No longer a pillbox icon.

* Axis Minor Sprites goes in //Strategic Command/Bitmaps/Axis_Minor
* Great Britain Sprites goes in //Strategic Command/Bitmaps/Major_01
* Italy Unit Sprites goes in //Strategic Command/Bitmaps/Major_08
* Soviet Unit Sprites goes in //Strategic Command/Bitmaps/Major_04
* USA Unit Sprites goes in //Strategic Command/Bitmaps/Major_03
* French Unit Sprites goes in //Strategic Command/Bitmaps/Major_02
* Poland Unit Sprites goes in //Stategic Command/Bitmaps/Major_05

Hope you enjoy these while we wait for the real deal.

Soviets and a shot with USA and English fighters together. Note, when you are zoomed halfway out you will not see the changes. this is just for when zoomed in as close as possible.

GB and US fighters side by side.

Which program did you use to edit the pictures?

Gimp. I had to teach myself how to do it. I have incredible respect for the artists on this game that's for sure. I can't wait to have the real units. Will be incredible.

French are done. I'm especially happy with how the French garrisoned units turned out. I may go back and redo some of the British and Soviet units as well as Italians.

Soviets redone. They now have unique Garrison ripped from Corps Unit, partisons, horsies, engineers, carriers and other equipment have logo where it works - to give a bit of variety since they are technically German units.

BTW I made a booboo with some of the French units that I added emblems to. They are British instead of French but seeing as the disks are different colors should be no problem. I don't have energy to replace 100+ teeny emblems right now LOL.




Overall this is what's been changed:

* All aircraft except Germans (not needed) have national emblems on their wings. Unique French and Russian planes remain.
* All tanks except Germans (not needed) have national emblems on their sides. Unique French and Russian tanks remain.
* Russian & French soldiers have been duplicated and unique garrisons for these two countries based on the Corps added as well.
* All HQ except Germans now have national emblems on the corner of their maps. Unique French and Russian HQ remain with added emblems.
* Now all Transports, Mechanized Troops, Armored Cars, Paratroopers, Calvary, Engineers, Heavy Artillery, Armored Trains, Rockets, Rail Guns, Escort Carriers, and Normal Carriers have national emblems on them for all nations except for Poland and Germany (German emblems weren't needed).
* Fixed Russian Shock Troops. No longer a pillbox icon.

Reason I did this was to add a touch of variety to units and help the player see differences between them. A stopgap til the real stuff is added. But at least no more blank disks and everything isn't exactly like the German units.

New shock troop icons for the Soviets (no longer a pillbox). ALL the zips have been updated and cleaned up in the first post. Polish units done as well. Should be no more blank icons in purchase screen.

Thanks jpinard. Downloaded them all.
