Love the new work major and, if you'll forgive the parochialism, especially the very first image in your post. Clear as crystal and 'Look, they're carrying Owen guns'! It makes an Aussie heart beat faster.
 
thanks, AST is on a very good way now (i think i'll complete them in one of the next versions). i even introduced a new intelligence minister for AST, and the air force is complete already. so if you find somebody who could be added please let me know. just should be at least captain for the navy, brigadier for the army and air commodore for the air force.
And Fredrick Stewart and Geoffrey Street do not share the very same image anymore :rofl:

Perhaps I should let you know that the two were actually identical twins birthed some years apart due to an extremely long delivery. Apparently the protracted labour proved so stressful to the biological father that he successfully sued for divorce part way through the episode (failure to fulfil wifely duties) and the later twin adopted the name of his mother's new partner when she remarried. It seems the family's economic circumstances were so dire that well into his adulthood he was required to wear his elder brother's hand-me-downs - no doubt accounting for the similarities in dress sometimes noted by observers.

Or perhaps I should not. (Actually, I think I dredged up images for them for another project.)

I'll certainly give the Aussie file a once over and if I know of anyone who could usefully be added will get back to you with details.

I already posted this info on Core mod subforum but am also pasting it here in case you miss it there bestmajor. You might be able to use some of that material to improve Fins. :)


Finnish Defense Forces openend a while ago a web site where they released about 160 000 photos from the WW2, most of the photos published never before.

Full archive can be found here http://sa-kuva.fi/neo?tem=webneoeng

BUL-BUL-BUL
CAN-CZE-CZE
CZE-CZE-FIN
FRA-GRE-HUN
POL-SIA

(now thats poetry :D)

EDIT: thanks hister; iirc this was already posted in my other thread (see sig) but i completely forgot!
 
Stunning work as usual...

Re: Japanese NAV bombers, I admit that I don't know them so well as other countries' aircraft but they seem to be rather ok to me. Of course, you might have some problems finding a picture for the extremely rare Kugisho Tenga... although it is said that some wizard once managed to provide a colour drawing for it ;)

I agree. I want to play AoD in Colour as the official vanilla

this is impossible, as some images are from comercial sites like the LIFE magazine. you cant sell this without taking the risk of getting a lot oftrouble. TBH i'm surprised that none of the numerous archives made trouble, as all HoI games use at least a few images which are watermarked. besides - not everybody likes it as much as you do, and i dont want to force people (i wouldnt like it much to be forced to play with sprites, for instance).

if you install this, its almost vanilla, i only change events which are really necessary (affecting leaders).


but thanks all of you for the encouragement. i already thought i give up on commenting in this thread!
 
no real difference compared to 1.08. you extract it to desktop, move the CSVs in and the pics in. done.
a bit more complicated is eg GER where you have to replace the dormant leaders in the scenario.inc and the anschluss event. very simple.
FRA is the same, even easier - just replace vichy_new.txt in the events folder.
SOV: disable the purge event manually and drop the new events in. link it in the scenario.eug


the smaller ones and eg USA are jjust things of copy-paste really. i only mod the absolutely necessary. event-wise.
i also play vanilla mainly.

thanks you two. as for the same database: i'm a few years ahead of the rest of the gang, so that'll be difficult to achieve.
