My solution is this: change the conscript unit in favor of Soviet Riflemen
...
Conscript -> Riflemen
Hi Akkula!

As I wrote on DMP-Forum....

I would prefer the above solution!

It´s the best solution for that!

BTW, where the picture was taken?

Best regards and furthermore a nice vacation!

Hi magic!, thanks for the suggestion, I was thinking the same way.

The place is San Martín de los Andes, at the south of my country Argentina.

Best regards!

I noticed that you've been using the vanilla flag for Germany but the bunker has the swastika. Might want to change them to be the same flag?

Hi bite. Yes, there is a difference that I am going to correct but I don´t know in which direction: change the bunkers back to vanilla flags or change the vanilla ones to swastika. :?:

I say go with the vanilla one. The swastika may offend people, after all.

I prefer the vanilla version too, but with an alternate swastika version as add-on! Maybe possible Akkula? :D

PROGRESS UPDATE
After several months of hard work, I believe is time to show you a report of the project progress so far. I hope you find it interesting.

CAMPAIGN: Half of the scenarios are complete, including my testing of them. I expect to increase the speed of the creation process.
The briefings need to be improved as my english sucks and I am not a good writer, but for now I am focused to finish all the scenarios.

UNITS: 560 new units so far, including brand new ones (more than 100 so far and more to come) and special camouflages. Regarding the latter, I tried to be as historical accurate as possible depending the battle and the date it took place. I spent hours and days reading books and websites to gather as more as possible, I can proudly say the 90% of the camos you would see in the mod are completely accurate :).
Still I have some work to do with the naval units, there are more than 15 new ones so far, most of them need some improvements. More to come yet.

SOUNDS: More than half of them are finished, I have a lot of ideas but I will leave them to final stage of my work. Yes, you will hear PPSH´s, PTDR´s, Mosin´s, MP44´s, etc.

UI: The basic idea is finished, all traces of "werhmacht styles" have been replaced with soviet ones (I used some Bebro´s work). As I said before, very basic work, I expect to improve it at the end of the project.

At this point of the development, I think I need some feedback from the community, so I ask for volunteers to do some "alpha" testing of my advances so far. Anyone who is interested please send me a PM, by the next week I will have a fully working alpha version of the mod.
As I stated in the OP, I expect to release the first version by the end of the year, so far I think I can keep that promise (also it depends of the feedback of the volunteers :P )

As always, many thanks to the whole community for all the contributions and support.

Best regards!.

Hi Magic. Yeah, there are some progress for sure.

By now we are in summer 1943 fighting in the Mius river:

Soviet forces try to cross the river:

And the germans counter attack on the bridgeheads:

And the soviet artillery rooster by July 1943 (more units to be added in the future):

Best regards people!.

This is looking quite a bit more detailed than I tend to play, but the equipment just looks too good! (Stupid Marder II, why did you pour red wine all over your armour? Oh well, you just want to die! :twisted: )

Any predictions for release? WWI v2.0 is going to be out around November, so I'd be trying to beat that if I were you! (otherwise everyone will just play my huge new map and forget to check the forums until they win the war 800 times!)

I expect to finish it by the end of the year, so I guess your grand map will be launch before that. Damn, maybe even Soviet Corps will be released first :cry:

I doubt Soviet Corps will be done this year. Nothing has even been mentioned about Soviet Corps except for the addition of Finland and that there will be 30 scenarios.
