Hello Vintage! Y mis saludos tambien para vos!!
Sorry! I forgot about the Crusader Mk.III! I tend to derive from one idea to another, and any time you can see me making cavalry icons, then aircraft, etc... I will start working on it ASAP...
Uzbek2012, you are a mine of extraordinary photos!
Guille1434, if you were going to make a Bob Semple tank, please could you make a Vickers 6E - preferably the B with single turret first?
The Vickers 6E apparently saw a bit of combat in Poland, Finland (bit with a 37mm gun in place of teh short 47mm), almost certainly in China (I think in both A and B versions) and probably in Thailand.
However, the Bob Semple would be an entertaining garrison unit for any planned Pacific mods.

Alas I do not know how to make units I only offer them ! But if there are courses, manuals or instructions where you can learn it ready to read !
I have released icons for the Finnish Vickers Mk.F 6 ton light tank some time ago, now I upload improved versions for the Mk.F and Mk.E 6 ton tanks in Finnish colors...

Back to Polish units... Having made the Cavalry AT Rifle unit, I couldn´t help make an infantry AT Rifle unit, this one with a switch, where:
- A "moving" stance, with the same move value as a normal infantry (3 hexes), but lower Soft attack and ammo capacity, but (obviously) better Hard Attack value.
- An "Ambush" stance, with move = 1 hex, better Ground Defense values also with "camo" trait, other stats the same as in the "move" switch.
Greetings!!

And now, some field fortification units, which can be useful for the Pacific theater, (and also some islands situated in the South Atlantic). Those icons were made by me as derivation from icons made by Bebro for his IJA mod (the cave bunkers) and another one made by Flakfernrohr (the gun pit). Credits for them!

Very nice Vickers 6e and 6f. One of these will be heading into my equipment file.
Sorry to be fussy, but do you have a conventional uk/polish shade of green as I haven't yet got the hang of recolouring or masks?
The Polish AT teams are good as well.
Finally, here is a comprehensive unit pack for the Crusader Mk.III, in various color patterns. Ther were two variants of this variant of the Crusader tank, the early ones had a shorter barrel gun (L/43) and the later tanks had the longer (L/50) gun. Because of the larger gun fitted to the same turret as the previous models, the loader position had to be deleted (that space was also used in part to increase the larger ammunition stowage), so the commander had alsto the task to load the gun. This, I think, should be reflected in PzCorps stats by giving this model a lower initiative value compared to the previous marks, but logically better Soft and HardAttack values.
Historically, the models with short barrel were used in the last battles of the North African theatre, and the later ones, with the L/50 gun were kept in Great Britain and were used mostly in training duties, because when the invasion on continental Europe was launched, those tanks were no longer in service. Only the AA variants were present in the D-Day campaign, but also their units were disbanded a short time later sfter the landings, because there was hardly any German air power to counter.
Hello guys... Thanks for your comments! For the sake of completness, here is a pack of Crusaders Mk.II in a variety of colors, including some captured ones by Axis powers. Greetings!

Thanks Yrfin for your comments. Please, let me say that any North African Campaign is a "most wanted" for me! I hope we can see it published!
North African Campaign - one of my favorite too.
But Im started from May 40 (7-th Pz.Division - Arras Brit counterstrike) and then switch to N.Afrika.
Im use new terrain in this set: Wadi, Sand Soft, Salt Lake.
And ome more thing....
Im use your design for ambush AT (thank you).
