  1. And there are Straggler Groups as well. Mord.
  2. No. I am not talking about Emrys's granny panty collection Steve's gonna make fun of my observational skills again. LOL. Check out these pics. I issued some target light orders and the above pics are what showed up. Of course, I knew the green text gave you info about what each guy was doing but I had no idea crewman changed their weapon icons inside their vehicles as they used them. I always thought those icons were just telling you what small arms they carried and their position within the vehicle, and with the gunner, that he was manning the main gun. That's one killer little piece of immersion. Next time you have a man (or two) in a vehicle heavily wounded pay attention to what the survivor's icons do as various fire orders take place (they could end up popping to all kinds of weapon positions). All this long time playing these games and I am still being surprised! VERY COOL! Mord.
  3. I haven't heard a peep about anything engine 5 related. There could possibly be some new stuff in the upcoming modules but we won't know until they are out unless something is mentioned before hand. But honestly I am not expecting anything that warrants an upgrade across titles to be in them. Mord.
  4. I think we'll get a better grasp on that after the FI and RT modules are released. And the time span between them. LOL. If we don't see the East Front in the next six months I think Aragorn is gonna stroke out. Once they are released it'll be a fresh starting point to gauge productivity from. There's been a lot of weirdness over the last couple years what with SF2 and Chris leaving etc. We shall see. I am an optimist, so I am feeling pumped about the future. In the meantime I have a ton of CM, modding, and Field of Glory II games to play! Mord.
  5. That's cool. I can live with it. Now that I know for sure which ones aren't gonna show I'll rename the files to what best suits my idea of realism. LOL. Which unfortunately for me is probably gonna be damn close to what they were. Man...I wasted a ton of time today! Mord. P.S. Thanks for the in depth explanation. Appreciated.
  6. I tried to interest a guy on Youtube a couple days ago (he had a video about his Marx WWII play set) so I figured hey CM is toy soldiers all the way. Dude pretty much completely ignored the part of the conversation that involved links and info on the game. I was like WTF?! That's right up your alley, man! Had another guy tell me he wasn't really interested in CM when I brought it up because the engine was getting old. This statement was posted under his video about the update of John Tiller's Panzer Battles. I didn't even bother to respond after that ironically moronic statement. I guess I must be getting old. Earlier today I sat and marveled at the fact I'd just turned a lamp on and it produced light. LOL. I think I got lost in thinking about it for about five minutes. I find being truly thankful for the (seemingly) tiny things enriches your life just as much as something like a new car or a vacation can. There's a quote of mine I have been repeating for about 20 years now: "Give me a brand new Bic mechanical pencil and a clean sheet of paper and I am happy". If you can find joy and contentment in the little things you'll always appreciate what you have and not worry about what you don't. Mord.
  7. So, definitely usa rank 11 & 12 are missing. That leaves usa rank 03 usa rank 08 usa rank 09 usa rank 10 to be investigated further. Mord.
  8. I listed SIX icons I am not seeing! Either I am completely missing them or something is up. I hope I am wrong and just missed them but the only way to find out is if other people check. I provided a set of bmps, so.... This thread was supposed to be about what ranks should be used LOL. Rabbit hole is an understatement. More like cluster f*** if it's as bad as it looks. Mord.
  9. Looks like I may have inadvertently found some US rank bugs. Here: Mord.
  10. Here's a set of numbered test icons that match the bmp numbers. Link here. http://www.mediafire.com/file/1mgfhvp14fixaja/Test_Ranks.zip/file Mord.
  11. Using my modified JuJu icons searching through the Infantry Battalion I found: Private usa rank 00 Private 1st Class usa rank 01 Tech 5th Class usa rank 02 Tech 4th Class usa rank 04 Sergeant usa rank 05 Tech 3rd Class usa rank 06 Staff Sergeant usa rank 07 1st Lieutenant usa rank 13 Captain usa rank 14 Major usa rank 15 Lieutenant Colonel usa rank 16 Which regardless of whether the rank pics are correct I am not seeing 6 that are listed. So if we go by the stock icon numbers we are still missing: usa rank 03 usa rank 08 usa rank 09 usa rank 10 2nd Lieutenant x2 usa rank 11 & 12 Now I may or may not have over looked one but I even broke squads into different teams using all variations and I still only came up with what is listed. Beta boys fire up your engines! Mord.
  12. Welp, as far as I can tell there are no 2nd Lts in an Infantry, Armored Infantry or Armor Battalion in BN. 1st lieutenants are all that are showing up. Mord.
  13. Good news for Emrys! He'll have an alternate outlet for his cartoon pony porn now that Tumblr's banned him. Seems he's too deviant even for the deviants! Mord.
  14. Jeez, did I step into a rabbit hole. Ok, for some stupid reason I started looking at ranks in BN and noticed they seem to be off. Here's what CM shows (for BN, FI, and FB). I was confused by why we'd have two blank Pvt, two Pvt 1st Class and two 1st Sgt icons. Here's how @JuJu interpreted them. Here's what some jerk on the internet is claiming are US WWII insignia. Here's what some jerk put together in Elements showing how CM and the internet insignia compare (providing the other jerk was correct). Ok, so which one is right? This is what I came up with using JuJu's icons. And while we are at it why are there two 2nd Lt. ranks? Mord. P.S. That's three hours of my life gone.
  15. Awesome, brother. We look forward to shooting up and blowing the crap out of your research! Mord.
  16. Technically there are no limits to how many you can add. So you should be fine. Mord.
  17. Steve did mention they were gonna bring a new coder onboard, which was supposed to happen last fall (I think it was) but never mentioned it again. Mord.
  18. I was just dicking around in BN looking at vehicles in the Dealership files and low-and-behold there it is. I have probably looked at those files 50 times over the years and swear I have never seen that truck in there. Funny. According to the notes DC @Darknight (DC) provided me during the Gustav portrait mod (and what was created for it) the Indians provided 3 Divisions to Italy (4th, 8th, and 10th). Formations are as follows. Note: [INF] denotes British infantry. In the mod we used New Zealand to represent them but that'll be changed for the new version. ..................4th Indian Infantry Division............... 21st King George V's Own Horse (Central India Horse) [Indian Armd Regt] 5th Rajputana Rifles [Indian INF] 5th Indian Infantry Brigade 1/4th Essex Regiment [INF] 4/11 Sikh Regiment [Indian INF] 1/6 Rajputana Rifles [Indian INF] 3/10 Baluch Regiment [Indian INF] 1/9 Gurkha Rifles [Indian INF] 7th Indian Infantry Brigade 1st Royal Sussex [INF] 4/16 Punjab Regiment [Indian INF] 2/11 Sikh Regiment [Indian INF] 1/2 Gurkha Rifles [Indian INF] 11th Indian Infantry Brigade 2nd Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders [INF] 4/6 Rajputana Rifles [Indian INF] 3/12 Frontier Force Regiment [Indian INF] 2/7 Gurkha Rifles [Indian INF] ..................8th Indian Infantry Division............... 6th Duke of Connaught's Own (Bengal) Lancers [Indian Armd Regt] 5/5 (Royal Mahratta MG Bn) Mahratta Light Infantry [Indian INF] 1st Jaiper Infantry (Indian State Forces) [Indian INF] 17th Indian Infantry Brigade 1st Royal Fusiliers [INF] 1/12 Frontier Force Regiment [Indian INF] 1/5 Gurkha Rifles [Indian INF] 19th Indian Infantry Brigade 5th Essex [INF] 1st Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders [INF] 3/8 Punjab Regiment [Indian INF] 6/13 Royal Frontier Force Rifles [Indian INF] 21st Indian Infantry Brigade 5th Queen's Own Royal West Kent [INF] 1/5 Mahratta Light Infantry [Indian INF] 3/15 Punjab Regiment [Indian INF] ..................10th Indian Infantry Division............... 1st Duke of York's Own Lancers (Skinner's Horse) [Indian Armd Regt] 1st Royal Northumberland Fusiliers [INF] 10th Indian Infantry Brigade 1st Durham Light Infantry [INF] 4/10 Baluch Regiment [Indian INF] 2/4 Gurkha Rifles [Indian INF] 20th Indian Infantry Brigade 8th Manchester [INF] 1/2 Punjab Regiment [Indian INF] 3/5 Mahratta Light Infantry [Indian INF] 2/3 Gurkha Rifles [Indian INF] 25th Indian Infantry Brigade 1st King's Own Royal Regiment [INF] 3/1 Punjabi Regiment [Indian INF] 3/18 Royal Garhwal Rifles [Indian INF] 4/11 Sikh Regiment [Indian INF]] Mord.
  19. Cool. I was worried they got cancelled when I noticed it was actually a Sikh regiment and all I saw were helmets. Mord.
  20. Bedford never even crossed my mind, it's that weird looking. Unless it's just the angle the screenie was taken from. Mord.
  21. Second picture, bottom right. What is that canvas covered bus looking do-hickey carrying about 24 guys in it? Never seen that vehicle before, anywhere. Got any pics of the Sikhs in their head wraps? Mord.
  22. Frency is correct, its an SF1 mod. Not gonna show up in SF2. If you rename the bmps they still propbaly won't display correctly because the models are different between the two versions. Mord.
  23. Replied in the Heaven & Earth thread. Mord.
