Looks good

But if you keep annotating every unit with the name of everybody who has ever done anything to it you're going to start running out of space very soon

Good point.

I generally take off the other peoples names when the unit is no longer easily recognisable as their work (I give them a nod in the readme though).

Heresson · April 6, 2002, 09:26

Nice units, Guk guk.

techumseh · April 6, 2002, 20:03

Judging from those human figures, I think you've got the scale wrong. The Bren carrier was quite small, and usually carried only 3 men (the crew of a Bren light machine gun, hence the name). Based on old film I've seen, it stood only about waist high.

The bogie wheels need another look as well. Sorry to be picky.

Soundwave · April 6, 2002, 20:25

Hmmm, i have to agree... since i've seen one, in the war museum, and in photos, its only waist high, ican fit only about 3-4 men, and its quite sallow, also its not a hugh tank its quiet small

Case · April 6, 2002, 20:40

I've read that they could carry up to 6 soldiers as well as the crew of 3. They were the main armoured troop carrier used by the Commonwealth militaries, so they must have been practical in this role

You're right about their carrying capacity, still they were small as armoured vehicles go. Here's a pic I found with people aboard:

So what is the concensus? I read also that the Bren Carrier (also called Universal Carrier) had the capability to carry extra men beyond the standard crew. As for the guys in back, their helmets are the same size as the guys in front, so I just made them kind of standing or kneeling over the edge of the walls. After looking at tecumseh's pic, I dont know that it is too far off?

You need to change the track, to the same as the vickers tank maybe.

Also with the boxes in the back, if you just have men its ok, according to history, if they carried ammo boxes and all sorts 2-3 men were need only, but when carrying men, two at the front, 3-4 at the back.

It needs to be smaller, like compared to the Pz Mark ! its just smaller than that in scale, not listen to that if it stuffs things up.

Giz- Jimmy made one that looks a lot like yours. the link for his thread is somewhere here

DarthVeda · April 7, 2002, 12:36

Giz... that MLRS doesn't look too bad... you just need to work on the left side of the crew compartment (it looks like it comes down at a 90 degree angle when it should be 45-90), and those slats should not be black (they look like open windows), and then do some slight work on the launcher tubes and you should have a pretty sleek unit.

giz.moe · April 7, 2002, 20:24

@ANZAC yap, i think i know that unit, but i was looking for a smaller one.. Well, Jimmy's MLRS will work fine

@DarthVader
Thx for those hints, maybe i will work on it when i have learned more about unit creation

Scott F · April 8, 2002, 18:40

I think that the Italian flag is mine. Not sure though.

Case · April 8, 2002, 18:55

Nice work Pap

I did the Australian flags and Grothgar made the Chinese flag

The ANZAC · April 8, 2002, 19:17

Allard made he Dutch flag and I think Nemo made the Canada, Finland, Denmark, France, Italy, and German Navy flags.

Soundwave · April 8, 2002, 19:48

Freikorps!! I like them, can i use them in a new scenario i'm making?

Soundwave · April 9, 2002, 03:36

I like number its a true supension. not no1, it didn't have skirting.

Case · April 9, 2002, 08:25

That certainly looks better then my effort

One minor quibble: British tank crews wore black berets (red ones were worn by Paratroopers and the Commandos)

Thanks in anticipation

Sure - I'll mail them when I get home.

BTW, how's your Cold War/Modern era modpack going? That tech tree you posted a while ago is excellent.

DarthVeda · April 12, 2002, 10:11

Hey, I recognize those drums the sniper is behind!

winterfritz · April 12, 2002, 10:14

Those are great units Allard

And that was my 200th post, folks.

klesh · April 12, 2002, 10:15

Darth, did you make them? I'll put your "DV" tag on the unit.

DarthVeda · April 12, 2002, 11:14

Yeah I did those for Kyokujitsu (they were like one of the first units I drew for it)

Dream Deceiver · April 12, 2002, 19:49

Some of my units
from left to right: Nakajima Kikka, Japanese infantry, Vietnam War Green Beret and Khmer Rouge unit.

Tell me what you think.

Case · April 12, 2002, 20:45

Allard, thanks for that Hydra Class ship. I was about to make an Australian Anzac Class frigate, but they're identical to the Hydra's (both ships are based on the German Meko 200 Frigate design)

DarthVeda · April 13, 2002, 23:41

Hey Allard, that middle UN shield is definately one I made for my now dead and buried Red Cataclysm scenario...

Allard HS · April 15, 2002, 07:11

DV: Well, I never said I made those, did I? I just assembled as much shields as possible from different sources to make the choice bigger.

Case: do you accidentaly have more similar modern Greek/Turkish ships?

Heresson · April 16, 2002, 07:07

Are those Greek-Turkish units for the forgotten project, Allard?
