Are you sure that you want to use that Italian flag? That's the Saló Republic's flag, which means 23 September 1943 onwards.

OH sorry ! No ! I don't - Now I have the right flag.

Yes - I can take the nose back, but you can see it not in game.

Your call on the nose - I was just having a joke. Cheers.

wow, Hbalck

You are in the process of doing something amazing. Your artwork is top notch, and very impressive. And best of all, I love that you are doing this open source, as a free add on, as opposed to a paid expansion. The work you have done already is worth an expansion. Now, about the east front - lol

Thanks,!!!

I see they are holding the machine gun. A more accurate depiction would be to have the gun through the hole and with a man operating it.

The real question is can you see the gun at game size and do you have to make it longer so it is visible at game size.

Of course you can always change the 50 cal MG to a motor and tilt it up more.

Move the sand bag lower and in the center under the whole. Then you don't have to change the size of the gun. Just move it to poke through the whole.

The contrast between the sand bag and gun should make it clearly visible at game size.

I know it's a work in progress.

While I'm at it, the A9 gun is hard to see at game size.

For the Matilda II, I can not see the main gun at all in game size.

Look at the M13/40. You can clearly see the gun at game size.

While your Icons may be accurate. You may want to consider making the Valentine barrel all black or come up with some contrasting colors so players can see the main guns.

Why? It's allot more fun when you can easily see the weapon, regardless of color accuracy or location on the icon.

The are a couple of stock icons that have the same problem with the main gun. Can not see it very well, if at all.
