not for wimpy machines

To make infantry somewhat more easy to see, turn off game option "Limit Infantry" and

edit in notepad

[Der Oberst]

Hmmm... I made the German infantry change and it crashed to desktop afterwards.

[Grey Legion]

ORIGINAL: Der Oberst

Hmmm... I made the German infantry change and it crashed to desktop afterwards.

I read some where that it will put a strain on your system resources to run with more men on the field, could that be the case, or simply re-check everything to make sure no typing BOO BOO's

Good luck !!

[Der Oberst]

Just recehecked... stupid user error ... I left a space after the last line like this:

<model name="body10" filename="German Pz Grenadier 42/german_eliterifle.x"/>

</models>

XML is unforgiving that way [:)]


To your question though I would imagine it will strain graphics systems. If you;re running a low end machine I wouldn't try this at home [:)]

Your last line includes the map placement coordinates. Be careful when adding units that you don't have more than one unit in the same spot.
