I always wanted an own Graphics Showcase for 1900-WW1 units, and now I designed/compiled/whatever some units to start something like it. Enjoy!

Central Powers Units of WW1: German, Austria and Ottoman Infantry without and with Steel Helmets.

And some of their enemies: The Units of the Entente, without/with Steel Helmets.

After 1913, Ottomans never wore Fezzes while on duty. Okay for depot guards, but not combat units.

They usually wore a kabalak, cloth wrapped around a wickerwork base (i.e. a sun helmet), or an arab kufiya.

The cavalry version of a kabalak had an upturned front, making them look something like a New England fisherman. The hat together with undersize Anatolian horses made the Turkish cavalry look comical. Nothing funny about their performance, though.

On the left, Case topped off an Alex unit with a 'kabalak'.

And some Cavalry

Turkish cavalry wore khaki, similar to the Turkish infantry Boco posted. They wore either the Enveriah hat (kabalak) or the sou'wester type Boco mentioned (just the officers I think?). French cavalry in 1914 had red trousers, and Hungarians wore the same light blue/grey uniform that the rest of the Austo-Hungarian Empire troops wore, albeit with Hungarian tight trousers. British soldiers wore puttees not gaiters. Apologies for knowing this crap. Alex Mor's units were otherwise excellent.

PS what is it with this fashion for taking Alex's units and sticking three of them in one tile?

Here's some WW1 era air strips I made a while ago. Note that the red flags are actually the colour which in FW/MGE shows the colour of the occupying civ.

FiGu · June 27, 2003, 08:59

Here's some real ww1 art!

I hope that Fairline is (re)doing these planes too to his SUPER style.

Here are a few improvement icons. What is the best way to acknowledge the work of others inside of Icons.bmp? I've taken liberally from Curt Sibling, FMK, Harlan, Case, and others. Even have a few Boco originals in this.

Hope this posting without signatures isn't too rude.

Awesome stuff, guys!

Units from a scenario that never got finished

Boco · June 27, 2003, 17:11

Couldn't get any takers at CivFan, Kobra? That map was good, but it'd be a challenge to keep the bulk of the units in Europe.

Anyone ever made a scenario populated solely by smileys?

I think as long as the credit is given in the read me you will be covered.
