pcelt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Currently the stock British infantry has the 49th West Riding Infantry Div shoulder patches (PolarBear). May I enquire whether any modders intend producing any alternative divisional shoulder patches for the British infantry. Mord has produced a comprehensive range of portraits depicting all the divs involved------but currently it does not make any visual sense to use any div. inf. portrait except the 49th Inf one which is already. displayed on all the shoulder patches. I have no ill-feelings re the 49th Div but would like some alternative choices like for example 43 Wessex Div (which contained the Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry-------of Hill 112 ("Cornwall Hill") fame. Any chance of this or any other "slightly less famous ones" " pcelt" --surprise surprise --from Cornwall....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I intend to do something about this in the future as time permits....just haven't had time to really get down to it yet....I have some interesting ideas I'd like to implement but it is time consuming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Darknight Canuck--Thank you for your constructive response and I can fully appreciate the time consuming nature (to say nothing re motivation and skill levels) involved in such work. But if you do find the time I (and Im sure many others too with an historical interest in these units) would greatly appreciate a mod which would facilitate the identification of other significant British infantry divisions like the 43 Wessex within the game. My gratitude again for your interest and thanks for anything you feel you can implement in the future. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah, this will be really cool. MjKerner did patches for EZ's US unis, and Dorosh has done stuff for the Canadians (even though I gave him crap they are very worthwhile). I think the patches/identifiers really add to the immersion when playing battles....you tend to get closer to your troops when they go from generic unis to a specific unit. The history comes more alive and the narrative and battle vignettes become even more engaging. Looking forward to this Darknight. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I really hope decals will be implemented at some point, so it would make it easier to swap and change shoulder patches and vehicle No's etc. Something I hope could be added to the last module for this base game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 alternate and alternate... well I have done one patch, but that is for 2nd Bn Essex Regiment that was a part of 56th Ind Inf Brig, so it didn't belong to any division until August And then it was 49th West Riding! :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericr4b Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 +1 for this request If someone can point me to a modding guide or some such, then I might have a go myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
