Ernie Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 Hello, Just wondering why I see a swastika on the German flag below some screenshots, and a cross in other screenshots. Is this an option oone can choose to activate? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberfox Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 Hey, I think those screenshot were made in the old beta demo. In the game aren't swastikas. Cyberfox Cm at http://home.wanadoo.nl/edwin.vos/cm/cm.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirage2k Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 The decision was made to drop the swastika between the Beta and Gold versions. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They managed, but then it had a G3 with an MPG muzzle (for use with blanks on it).

Bullethead Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 Hopefully somebody has the graphic for the swastika flag handy and can post it for downloading for them as wants it. HINT to Madmatt--something for MDMP 2 ? ------------------ -Bullethead It was a common custom at that time, in the more romantic females, to see their soldier husbands and sweethearts as Greek heroes, instead of the whoremongering, drunken clowns most of them were. However, the Greek heroes were probably no better, so it was not so far off the mark--Flashman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not up to trying to post it as a URL, here's the location: www.geocities.com/lrmcgarvey/combat.html ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that the sky might fall on their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 If anyone is interested, I have the original German flags with the swastika, plus I have replaced all of the 'Iron Cross' symbols with the swastika and have the correct SS symbol added as well. Email me at ncrawler@swbell.net if interested... [This message has been edited by NCrawler (edited 07-03-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted July 4, 2000 Share Posted July 4, 2000 NCrawler, I went ahead and added your new graphics file on my downloads page. They are nice, and I figure it would save you a lot of e-mails.
