Slitherine

I think he means white wash on AFVs and winter camo on troops.

Vehicles and infantry

Was this used on the Western Front? I think this was only against tht Russians?

US Soldiers had heavy coats and white camo. US vehicles were white washed

I have seen pictures of US Shermans in white and certainly troops with white jackets and helmet covers.

However, there wasn't a lot of action in WF in snow in 44/45 other than the bulge and that snow was unusual and not prepared for.

This picture is a PanzerIV from an SS division taken in the Battle of the Bulge. Whitewashed i guess...

I'm thinking that kind of texturing could make it very hard to see units when you're playing?

That´s the idea of camo isn´t?

I'll have to call a board meeting, but I feel that sending all of our players mad and/or blind looking for white units on a white backdrop might be harmful in the long term...

When I was doing the textures, I did make a snow version of the Sherman and Panther. It led to confusing game play and rapid eyes strain . Hence the decision not to apply the whitewash.

Pip,

After v1.4 , perhaps adding a download link for Slitherine content that "didn't make the grade" ...
At least this would provide players alternate skins if they so desire... cautioning the eye strain of course
Thanks!
