Let's try this again. - Page 3

i did wonder about the turret but you could say that the automatic loader is having its effect because that raises the barrell to load another shell

Jimmywax · June 28, 2001, 01:15

Here are some improved graphics. I hope you agree. I am still working on the ZSU though. I don't suppose you would have a picture that show's it from behind do you. All the pictures I have show it from the front.

Jimmywax · June 28, 2001, 01:26

Hey Grothgar Can you send me a copy of Scott F's Turtledove scenario. I am tired of waiting for him to send it to me. Hellonwheel247@netzero.net

Grothgar · June 28, 2001, 02:50

Yep its on its way

Scott has gone on holiday i do belive which is why he cant send you it

Paul Hanson · June 28, 2001, 07:36

Send it to me as well Gary. I finish college for the summer tomorrow and need something to keep me occupied for a while.

Jimmywax · June 29, 2001, 02:19

I got the scenario from Scott and I found some better pictures of the ZSU. I will try to get it to you by Wednesday.

Grothgar · June 29, 2001, 13:53

Paul No offense but dont you have a scenario that needs finnishing lol

Jimmywax · June 30, 2001, 15:38

Ya Paul, if you have stuff that needs to be done, I suggest you wait a while. This scenario is very addictive. It is ruining my life!

Jimmywax · July 2, 2001, 15:44

Hey Grothgar, here is your ZSU-23-4

Tell me what you think.

Grothgar · July 2, 2001, 18:23

I don't know. I think it is just easier for me to blend and contrast the colors.

I was just thinking, are you saying that you don't use all the units I make for you? Am I just wasting my time with some of these? I cannot believe that you have the nerve not to use some of them. They are all good units, well most of them are good units. Anyways, if that is what you are saying then I wish you good day Sir.

Just joking man, there's nothing on T.V. and all my friends are MIA.

So don't take this seriously, I am just bored.

Jimmywax · July 3, 2001, 00:55

Here is a mildly tweaked ZSU.

Jimmywax · July 3, 2001, 01:04

I have a hankering to try my hand at either an Arab/Isreali War scenario or a Iran/Iraq War scenario. I know that Grothgar is working on a similar scenario in "Sword Point", but that one is fictious, is it not? I would also like to try a Indo-Pakistani scenario too. I do not want to try a fictious one since I think I have proved I don't have the imagination required for that.

I am just kind of rambling now, but I believe Micheal Jordan has hit an all time low. I just saw him in a 1800 Collect commercial.

Case · July 3, 2001, 02:32

Jimmy, how far did you get with the Taiwan scenario?

I'm thinking of having a go at a scenario dealing with a Chinese invasion of Taiwan (In the belief that it won't take too long as I already have the units & rules.txt for the Chinese & Taiwanese forces).

A Iran-Iraq scenario would be good. I remember being surprised a while ago when I discovered that no-one has ever made one

I agree with you completly on the difficulty of designing fictional scenarios - I found that my Battle of the Atlantic scenario was far easier to set up and design then 'Raging Dragon' [BTW, I hope to release both scenarios in the next couple of weeks]

Jimmywax · July 3, 2001, 11:37

I got about as far as you have. I had most of the units and rules along with the terrain and city graphics. I was trying to make a map when I decided to scrap it.

Jimmywax · July 4, 2001, 19:05

Just some mods, sorry if I disapointed anyone.

Case · July 6, 2001, 20:57

Jimmy, if you're not sick of making units, do you think that you could make me a Chinese Type-85?

As you can see from the atached file, my attempt sucks

Jimmywax · July 9, 2001, 15:06

I suppose I can work on one for you. I think your unit looks good though. I also have to work on a couple for Scott F.

JamesJKirk · July 10, 2001, 20:03

Could someone send me a copy of ScottF's Turtledove scenario too, I never got it either.

Thanks
btw: all these images look quite awesome, I hope someone (or many) make good use of them!

Case · July 13, 2001, 22:14

Jimmy, thanks for complimenting my Type-85! Your compliment pleased me so much that I decided to release the scenario with the existing graphic.

Jimmywax · August 22, 2001, 14:57

I am just *bumping* this because I was going to post some more graphics later and I wanted it to be easy to find.

Jimmywax · August 24, 2001, 03:22

I didn't feel like searching for the thread where I told Eternal I would him him this. So I am just going to post it here.

It's a BRDM-2 that I promised him a long time ago. I don't know if it will fit in with his units though?

Case · August 24, 2001, 07:29

Jimmy, could you please make an M-5 Stuart/Honey for me?
I really need one for 'The Battle of Australia'

Jimmywax · August 24, 2001, 12:16

I suppose I could work on that for ya'.

Case · August 24, 2001, 20:48

Jimmywax · August 25, 2001, 19:40

At first I was a bit confused when you asked me to make an M-5 for you. I guess the problem was that I couldn't find an M-5. So I thought maybe Case has finally gone crazy with his scenarios and is retreating into his own fictional world. Then after some extensive research (I turned the page in one of my books) Ifound that your stuart/honey is just our M-3 Light Tank. I honestly never did see the point to the alllies insistance on renaming all the units we gave them.

Well here is your unit.

Case · August 25, 2001, 21:46

Thanks for that, its great!

Did you know that the USAAF was originally named the P-38 the 'Atlanta'? Luckily the RAF gave it the much cooler name 'Lighting'

BTW, I've read that the name 'Honey' for the M-3/5 came from the tank being so easy to maintain and operate.
(I think those British tankers had been away from women for way too long

)

The ANZAC · November 19, 2001, 19:14

In your post of the large compilation, what American tank is it 4th from the right? I haven't the slightest idea.

Jimmywax · November 20, 2001, 02:50

You know what Anzac, I have no idea either. I think it was actually an M-48 that I never finished and didn't mean for anybody to see it.
