KnockOnWood Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 A while ago James Bunnelle released a great compilation of black and white unit portraits (available at combat-missions.net). I liked it so much that I decided to try to do one myself and this is how it turned out: I don't know about releasing it to the public would be legal since some of the pictures are from other games like Rising Sun and East Front but I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong please)it's illegal to email them to anyone that would be interested.

danvnuk Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 I really like these, much better than my present ones. If you could fire off a copy to, dan@vaux-nobes.freeserve.co.uk would be much appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnockOnWood Posted November 24, 2001 Author Share Posted November 24, 2001 This picture WILL work! (I hope) And now that I got some reliable webspace I might as well offer these startscreens for download to zipfiles here startscreens- http://hem.bredband.net/matteg/startscreen.zip portraits- http://hem.bredband.net/matteg/unitportraits.zip [ 11-24-2001: Message edited by: KnockOnWood ] [ 11-24-2001: Message edited by: KnockOnWood ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 the unit portraits are actually based on actual photos of fromt he war. someone once posted the actual photo with the us guy with the mustache looking right (next to the hq lt portrait). i wish i knew which ones so we could get the actual photo portraits, but yours make an excellent substitute! the famous one with the sherman and buncha gis behind it will make a good screennie too...

M Hofbauer Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 I like the one who replaces that ugly british FO picture. not sure about them new startscreens, though. CMBO neither features medics nor do AFVs block fire so that anybody could take cover behind a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnockOnWood Posted November 25, 2001 Author Share Posted November 25, 2001 Glad you liked it! BTW if you find any good pictures of american or free french TC:s please let me know because I had a very hard time finding any so I just filled in with that poor bare headed guy for the moment.
