AndrewTF Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Early-war Soviets. They're done! Available for download now from the Combat Mission Mod Database A whole mess o' pix: Cavalry Cavalry officers Guards Airborne Infantry Naval infantry Naval troops are now more authentic, as I finally found some deecent source material. Soviet marines were issued regular army uniforms and used standard infantry insignia, but with the naval belt buckle, "foul anchor" sleeve patch, and blue/white stripey shirt, as seen here. Should be wearing sailor hats, but I can't do anything about that. All units are depicted with 1941-pattern subdued insignia, including collar tabs, rank insignia, and cap badges.

By the way, astounding mods! PC screen?!? Sir, I take offense to that accusation! Hey, all my mods are 100% Macintosh made. How old is your mac? The one I'm using now is an old 8600 with a G3 processer upgrade, gobs of memory, and a 32MB Radeon card. It's pretty old, in computer years. I can get it to display the uniforms sharply by making a little test battle on the smallest map possible with one (1) enemy sharpshooter and a minimal amount of landscaping and troops. I'm also using your lo-res doodads and Capt. Wacky's lo-res grass and steppe, which help a lot. Unfortunately, the vehicle textures always get downsampled to some degree . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Outstanding, the rolls and web gear look mice, look more 3D then the originals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Originally posted by tracer: Outstanding, the rolls and web gear look mice, look more 3D then the originals. That's the idea. I think I tend to exaggerate the highlights and shadows a bit, but when taken as a whole it really looks more realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pzman Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Keep up the good work Andrew, they look great on my G4 with a 32mb Radeon... strange I have no problems with downsampling at all on mine unless the battle is on a map thats more than 4 km square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the difference between PCI and AGP graphics cards. Eventually I'll get another machine... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Andrew, looks great, but any chance that you can put the blanket roll over the non-rifle shoulder? MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT Well, I guess. I put it where it is as it did not interfere with the gas mask bag (or is it a breadbag?) strap. It won't take too much fiddling around to see how it will look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yep, I tried the same thing and got the same resutls. To be honest, I spoke in haste, ignore and keep up the great work. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitz Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Axis Minors! Nice one! I've started some Mods for Italian troops, not nearly as good as yours. Do you want me to send you some examples with different Divisional patches etc? Say for the Blackshirt Troops or for the Novarra Lancers. Ill only promise to send them if you dont laugh at my pitiful attempt at modding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
