Info units with be 3 men top down images. SB has MG and mortars as equipment images and then a squad or crew.

The above example is a leader and a MG team. Note how the MG is it's own image.
You could make a leader image only, but you would then need to change every stock and add on scenario OOB to use the leader image. Way too much work for me.

Love it!! A mod I always wanted to do but didn't think I could get the counters big enough! Though I still prefer modded faces for the Inf (I imagine it's the chit leader, so really wish we could have had alot more of them so we got little repetition) I'll certainly be using your vehicles for the games. Without question.
As usual Rich superb work. I can only imagine the amount of time you've spent doing these..and I'll say it's all been worth it. Your skills started of good (Much better than mine) and have become expert. Your at a stage where you could set yourself up for hire for wargame artwork. If I was developing a wargame youi'd be on my list for artists.

I've been playing a fair bit of the WWI SB game lately, and there are no mods for that game. I find the stock counter graphics so unappealing I've just turned on NATO symbols.
I don't find the top down view any more confusing than the side views. Neither counter usually faces the direction the unit is facing. Certainly these modded counters are at least much cleaner and clearer!

Well you're right. Functionally there is little difference, just a difference in presentation. I think it's probably the usual gut reaction to change where you're not upset with what you've already got. ;) Had you done a side on profile, rather than an overhead profile, I probably wouldn't even have blinked, other to comment on the fact I like your art style. That said, I have no such hesitation with your infantry, they're great and I love 'em.
I had one person ask me why the vehicles face west (left) and why not Have the Axis face one way and the Allied side the other. This way they would face each other. Course not all scenarios have Axis on the same side of the screen or some are vertical (up and down) the screen :2funny:

You make a good point about the different directions a side deploys from in different scenarios.
Clearly you no one told you we're a hard audience to please, and we're never satisfied... :2funny: ;)

These mods are NOT for the Campaign series as that is very old. There is a team at Matrix working with that engine, that will be producing a newer version in the future. They already created a more modern desert area version recently.

Thanks, saw that mention on the Matrix site. Looks like it's years from happening.
And while I love the work they're doing on the Campaign Series, the economics of it all make it very unlikely that we'll see anything as all-encompassing as EF, WF, and Pacific. The Matrix combo-pack, though amazing in the breadth of scenarios available, just doesn't seem economically viable in the current climate.

Campaign Series Middle East has been out for months. The Vietnam title is next and very much in development.
Replacements for EF, WF, and RS are probably at least a couple of years down the line, yes. They will also not be released in a single combo pack; that's already been stated, IIRC.
There are quite a few mods available already for the original CS, not to mention hundreds of scenarios. The Matrix combo pack release already includes a number of mods as well as a tool for easily applying mods.

So this is the final version of all the stock FWW guns.

My are only top down graphics, but to answer your question - yes. I have a buddy that is doing a mod to all the SB titles. He is changing the db data to reflect each weapons real data. He researches each
weapon and use the JT/ HPS calculation process to input the revised data. The weapons increase effectiveness :D Plus he deletes the drop off in weapons as they fire.
Dan has put a lot into the X mod, but not many people bother to update graphics, let alone trying mods.

I typically only play games with friends so this is ultimately moot for me, but has X-mod riven the SB community?

I spent a year testing a mod with my buddy Dan using revised weapon data and other updates to the db (data base). We played game after game and Dan was making changes (new builds) each day.
We now have a mod call X mod. We use a separate installations called "West Front" and "East Front", plus North Africa and Italy are WIP's. What we get is no weapon depletion and IMO better effects
of infantry combat. Meaning that unlike stock SB you don't charge into the open without suppressing the enemy. You need to stay down and use cover as much possible. The casualties are more, but weapons
are better and a casualty doesn't mean a man is dead. A casualty means a man is out of the fight and no longer able to fight that day.
With the separate installs, other people can't take your file or take there file and use it as a so called "cheat".
It's a lot of fun too!
Updated the FT-17 to the correct size and added more French support vehicles ;)

Nice! Question about the WW mod: The Winter War T-26(F) refers to the KhT-130 family of T-26 variants? T-26 is what the name says right. And both are in the Soviet ToE, no Finnish tanks there I assume.
The KhT-130 is also called the OT-130. Finland also used the T-26 tanks. It's been said that they captured close to 200 Soviet T-26 tanks. I hope this answers your question.

Thanks Richie, it surely does! The vehicles are very nicely drawn, and the flame coming out of the T-26(F) was visible as well.
I don't have many missions in life, but one of them is debunking the myth of Finnish Vickers 6tons (of English origin purchased in late 1930s) would have gone to war equipped with the obsolete FT-17 37mm Puteaux. Instead, they were equipped with a license build Swedish 37mm Bofors, an excellent gun, accompanied by obsolete optics due to world markets having closed down before the war, and Germany refusing to sell the Zeiss optics ordered earlier due to their pact with Soviets.
Many sources have this wrong, so one of my pet peeves :D
By Continuation War the Vickers 6-tons were equipped with T-26 45mm gun and optics, for ease of maintenance, and were even given a classification T-26E in Finnish TOE, E standing for the English origin of the chassis.
Here's the WW 6-ton in Olive painting before the white wash camo applied

Very interesting!
HPS put the Finnish Vickers 6ton in their db (data base) with the 37mm.

Told you, my pet peeve! Of course they had it wrong, everyone does! :tickedoff: One of the first things I fixed with JTCS East Front 2.0 by the way ;)
If modding those values, I'd have a better effect similar to 37ATG in short(est) distances, but would have that quickly deteriorating due to the bad optics the tank had to settle with.
Edit: assuming those are the Puteaux 37mm values, not Bofors 37mm values that is.
Jaegerplatoon.net is a very nice first go-to place to anything related Finnish gear of the era. It's got a nice write-up of the Vickers 6-ton in Finnish use as well: LINK (http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/TANKS2.htm)
HPS only lists one (1) 37mm gun in their db, so who knows. ???
Added a few more missing units.

Does it have FT-17, and Bofors 37mm ATG separately. Maybe they could be compared. See? This is already giving me the griefs, the HPS database, in not knowing what they did there :uglystupid2:
Looking at the db there are:
German pak 36/ 37mm
37mm
37mm AA
Flak 36/ 3.7 cm (37 mm)
And then you have a "loads" page with AP, HE and data for each gun. Course unless it's flagged differently, the 37mm is just AP & HE. Thus the FT-17 and Finnish Vickers use the same gun data.
Plus the BT-2 and the Hotchkiss H-39 use the same 37mm data too.
HPS's data at time is not right, flagged wrong or just plain incorrect.
Thanks, knew it! :knuppel2:
But you can add new tanks, weapons to the dp if you want. If playing PBEM, then both sides need to updated db and images to play :)
So I think this is the final cut of my 1940 French units :)

You should see these is a few JTS future games/ demos :D
Cancer surgery? :-[ Damn Ritchie! Hoping you get that taken care of and in a favorable fashion. Should we send flowers or chocolates?

Good luck Richie61. May your surgery be successful, your stay in hospital be short, and all your nurses be comely.
Thanks again guys! O0
Here is another set.
Char B was a prototype and 3 were made (1945)
R-35 - Not sure. Thinking it was a prototype, but I found pictures of it.
FT-17 mine plow was produced. 29 were made.

Hope all goes well for you Richie!
Pre Op went well today!
New images of the day :D
Correction. I researched the A13 Cruiser tanks more and found that there were (2) types. So I correct the images (add to top line) and added
a 2 pounder truck as a bonus :)
